Hi everyone! 

Well, while the new Mama Elephant release and restocks are snuggled in customs for their 3rd week (...see..look how I tried to make it sound all cute and positive there?.... rather than OMG seriously customs just let 'em go..) I thought I would have a play with my...Mo's Lunar Animal set for easter ( ...in my defense this make is for Mo so I have redeemed myself for pinching his stamp set right?!!!).

I recycled a little clear box I had saved from christmas (..sigh..yes, I am always saving stuffs like this!!!) adhered a little design paper to the back inside and filled it with little mini mini chocloate eggs from B&M (.....there might not be many left in the packet................).

Then a little bit of fun with die cutting and it was done! its so cute I wannna squish it (...yes, and maybe steal all the lil eggs too...).

Thank you for popping in, hugs Lou xxx

Tiddly Inks challenge #177...Easter.

Image- Eggcellent News Wryn.

Papers- Maja Designs Vintage Spring Basics.

Good morning gorgeous peeps of the world!!

Its time for a  wonderful new challenge over on the Tiddly ink challenge blog!! This time our challenge our theme is....

Easter..

so think makes with chicks, bunnies,eggs and just a general easter cuteness theme encompassing them.

(**remember...We love to see any new creation, a card, 3D project, journal page etc 
but you must use a Tiddly Inks stamp or image **)

I used Eggcellent News Wryn for my image today. I love those little eggs in the nest so much and easter is all about new beginnings so it was just perfect for the job.

I coloured them up a beautiful blue colour and then added my spectrum noir sparkle pen to the top,ooooh I love that pen! then a good old splodge of glossy accents to make them come alive on the card. They look so pretty, like little jewels in the nest!

Right, pawsy peeps to feed and ironing to tackle then school run and sorting out my shower! I need to do the sealant and have to admit I've rather been avoiding doing it! Its an icky mess that stuff!!

Huge hugs for you all

They are some of my favourite peeps so it had to be a pretties card!!

But seriously, this image makes it soooo easy, look how cute...

Thank you for popping in

Morning everyone!

Lou 'hopping' in with a post for you today! its my first easter make and of course I just had to pull out that gorgeous Mama Elephant Honey Bunny stamp set.I love this little set, it includes sentiments for so many occasions that you can use it all year round.

I couldn't resist joining in the Dies/Punches challenge over on the Passion for Promarkers blog, the Die Namics Blueprints 24 set still ranks in my top 5 of awesome die sets.  All I needed to do for this one was stamp and fold a card base with kraft card, that die set does all the tricky layout stuff for you!!!

I even added a little tab with the carrot stamp and glossy accented up the carrot for extra cuteness!!!

Right, time for cuppa number 2 of the morning. It's so chilly out there I had dragon breath when I went to feed my bunnies!!!

Thank you for popping in

I have a little guy to snuggle up to before he goes back to school, sad face mummy here :( but he is just fine which is lovely!!! he has had such a nice break sewing dresses, playing Lego and Nerf and just being a general goof ball and making me giggle!!! today I climb the ironing mountain, go forth through the toys left out in the play bedroom and have a cup of tea that actually stays warm the whole way through!! he he he!!!!

Huge hugs for you all, Lou xxx

Dies- Die namics Rustic Hearts.

Morning everyone!!

Its that Tiddly time of the week again where we rack in some fun with a wonderful new challenge!! This challenge our theme is....

Thinking of You..

so think makes with a 'thinking of you' theme encompassing them.

(**remember...We love to see any new creation, a card, 3D project, journal page etc 
but you must use a Tiddly Inks stamp or image **)

I just had to grab some of my fave bits from my crafty pile to make this cutie (...all linkies under the card picture), and of course, one of the cutest lil fairies I know, Fairy Heartfelt from Tiddly inks.

She is just the cutest. She is retired in clear stamp format now but there are still a couple over in the Dies To Die For shop if you are a stamper.

Right, I am going to indulge in some Mo and Mamma time now. I absolutely adore half term and a very stressed and tired little Mo is doing so much better for a little break from the school routine I think.

I had the most wonderful last night shift at work on sunday. I am still very overwhelmed and blessed with all the lovely things my friends at work said to me about me leaving, its a very special thing to have those memories to hold onto and they got me the most wonderful gifts. I am so thankful. Leaving a job you like is very hard but at the minute I need my all for my little Mo and Scott and a sleepy. exhausted Lou just doesn't cut the mustard!! he he!!

Huge hugs and thank you's for popping in

Morning Y'all!!

I'm being lassoed in with a post for you all today using that super cute new Little Sheriff.

Isn't he just the cutest?!! I just had to have a look around to find a making a lasso tutorial to finish off the card with something Lou and floofy!! he he! but it looks so sweet just floating around the card (...Mo seemed to think I should make him a big one but I have visions of spending half term with countless knocks to my body of a lasso being thrown at me in effort to catch me or being tied up on the settee!!!).

Right, off to bed for me. Last night shift done and I am hoping to actually sleep this morning as Scott is working from home today.

thank you so much for popping in Huge hugs Lou xxx
