Morning all!! 

Its time for a new challenge over on the Tiddly Inks challenge blog and this time its all about letting your creativity flow!!

This time its all about....

Let your Tiddly flow!!

So,grab your fave Tiddly Inks Fairy images/stamps and get your magic on!
Its anything goes using your tiddlies!!

(**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 decided to go with something a bit fun and made a super cute little milk carton. I used my silhouette software to cut the carton and add the little bee to the little doily circle. She is soooooo tiny!! the whole milk carton is just 3.5" high but sometimes..you just have to let your Tiddly Flow!!!!!

I have had a right faffoodle trying to get this blogged today!! blogger 502 error froze me and I kept hitting refresh to get going again only for it to phflrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr out on me 2 seconds later!! so pleased it is all back to normal. I do so love blogging.

Today I don't have too much planned. I am going to make little Mo some yummy cupcakes to cheer him up after another SATs day. He did so well not to get too anxious whilst doing them his headteacher said but it was all a bit much by the time he had got home and he cried and said it was really hard :( poor little man. I can't bear all this pressure on such fragile and inquisitive little minds, they should be nurtured, not tested and my heart goes out to their teachers who do not like SATs one little bit and don't like putting the children through them at all.

Off my soapbox now and going to make myself a little snack to stop me eating the cupcakes as they come out the oven!!

Huge hugs for you all!!

Morgan..........

Image- Morgan.

Papers- Panda Paws from Nitwit collections.

Hi everyone!!

I'm in with a make for you today using the super sweet image, Morgan. I have used this cute lil panda for a baby card. The sex of baby is an unknown yet so I matched it up with some neutral for either boy of girl papers from my yummy new download from Nitwit collections, Panda Paws .

I had so much fun making this card, there's just something magic about that image...and its not just because it was named after my little Mo I promise!! he he he!!

My little Mo is not feeling too fabulous today :( he is very worried about these silly SATs he will be going through this week which breaks my heart so badly. But I know he is being looked after well by his teachers so I am just doing my mamma job and snuggling and snuggling until he feels a bit better and I will take him a little treat after when I pick him up tonight so he feels a little boost at the end of the day. I love that little guy so much.

Right, breakfast time here, then school, then worrying all day about my pickle whilst ironing!!! oh the joys of mamma-hood!!!

Thank you for popping in

Isn't she just super? I adore those little fairy lights on her antlers! Her little nose is actually all glittery and shiny but it didn't show too good in the photo!

We played out all afternoon and it was so much fun in the yummy sunshine and I am soooo sleepy now that I think I may be asleep before Mo! we are bribing him to stay up until 8pm by watching 'Beethoven'...again!! lol!! but hey! if it keeps him going until 8pm its a winner!!!

Octopi my heart......

Papers- Echo Park Pirates Life.

Afternoon all!!

Its Fab Friday over on the Tiddly Inks challenge blog and this is my totally cute make for it.Oh how I love under the sea stuff when the weather gets warmer and it feels all summery, I just adore it!

I made the cardbase and shapes in my silhouette software. I LOVE doing this because it meant I could fill the shapes with my yummy Echo Park Pirates Life digital papers. And of course, because my octopi were .png's I just added them right on top and then added the sentiment too!! sooo cute!! and so easy to print and cut all the layers for my card!

I coloured them up and then added a little sparkle pen to the octopi because they just needed to be sparkly and cute!! he he he!!!

Thank you so much for popping in on me,

huge hugs and love,

Lou xxx

Morning everyone!!

I have had the most lovely long weekend, lots of playing outside with my little man and his friends and a couple of them really love little cars so for my make this week I just had to use my Wee Stamps Leon.

The cute little sentiment comes in the yummy scrummy MME Boy Crazy pad.I love this little paper pad so much, it full of different themed papers perfect for those little car/robot/space and travel themed cards.

And of course.....that DieNamics Blueprints 24 set had to pop into my big shot again!! I love the little layers pieces it gives me and oooh the little sprinkles dies are fabulous! I cut them with my scraps of paper left and then gave them a little layer over the top with glossy accents to make them look like sequins.

Right, time to get myself into gear this morning. I have to admit that after such a lovely long weekend I am struggling with the Scott and Mo going to work/school this morning. Its going to be a quiet day for this mamma :( 

Thankyou for popping in, hugs Lou xxx

Morning all!

Well, I've been a busy little Lou already today!! I've woofer walked and popped Mo to the car boot sale to spend his pocket pennies from nannie. (...that boy can sniff bargain before he even gets there I swear!! he picked himself up a Fliker 3 scooter for £20!!!!).

And after all that I had time to have a little play with the gorgeous new  Peter Pan from Mo's Digital Pencil.He is just a delight to colour up! I teamed him up with some awesome papers and a super cute step card file I bought a while ago from the SIL store.

That gorgeous little sentiment comes with him so I made a quick little tag to print nd cut it out on too. I am totally loving Mo's Digital Pencil's newest images being in .png format, its really making me play with my silhouette cutting machine. I still have that thing where I love to see some white around the edge to make the image pop out from the background but one day I might make myself do the just right round the edge thing!!

I am even going to enter a challenge today!! wahooooo!! go me!! so its off to the Passion For promarkers make it Digital challenge he goes!!

Right, time to go. My tummy is growling louder than a hungry bears tummy would after hibernation so I am going to see what I can rustle up for lunch!!

hank you for popping in huge hugs Lou xxx

Papers- Lilybee Designs Destination.

Dies- Wonky Stitched rectangle stax.

Morning Peeps!!!

Its time for a fabulous new challenge over on the Tiddly Inks Challenge Blog. 

This time its all about being....

Fairy Happy!!

So,grab your fave Tiddly Inks Fairy images/stamps and get your magic on!!

(**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 **)

There are so many wonderful and whimsical fairies in the Tiddly Inks store, it really is quite hard to make a final choice of which one you want to use!! but in the end I went for Willow Greeting Fairy. I have her in digital and clear stamp so I went for a version of using both because I wanted to fill the front of my card with her.

And! get me!! I got savvy and used my silouette machine to cut round her because she is a .png it was easy to do! I need to practice a bit more with being brave and getting that border to be right on the edge of her but this time I really wanted that edge to make her pop from the layers of the card. The sentiment is done using the clear stamp set.

Well, I still have a very sore Scott at home. We went to the dentist yesterday and it was a dry socket :( so he has had it flushed and packed...with no numbing done first...ouch... and is hopefully going to pick up in the next couple of days. He is working from home because even moving around makes it quite sore :(

So today I have Scott working from home. His mouth is so very sore, he hasn't slept in 3 nights so is hoping to get back to the dentists today for her to check it over for him. I cannot bear seeing him in pain :( I hope she can do something to help today.
