The gorgeous sentiment is from my new TE Plot Twist stamp set. It has the best uplifting quotes and I LOVED this one.

Hi everyone!! 

It's time for a new challenge over on the DP2 challenge blog and as always, its a scrumptious anything goes with a mo image challenge.

I chose to work with the gorgeous new Kate. She was 50% off for 24 hrs so I just couldn't resist adding her to my collection!! If you want to snag yourself a Mo's Digital Pencil bargain make sure you keep an eye on her store front page. New images keep popping in there for a whopping 50% off for the first 24 hrs!! ooooh I do love a bargain!!

I kept to my fave normal Lou colours and she looked so deliciously vintage. I added a few polka dots to her hat ribbon for a little fun. Isn't she just fab?

This morning we have made coca cola jelly with some hartleys make your own flavour jelly crystals!! Mo is very excited for it to set at tea time!! Yesterday it was my birthday and I made myself a really cute birthday cake. A friend of mine shared a video of a cupcake bouquet cake so I decided I would have a go but with my mini cupcake cases instead. I also used a cake sphere base instead of the polystyrene ball in the video because I thought cake is too yummy to pass on!! he he!! this is how it came out.... so cute!! I made some teeny little bumble bee's too!!

The picture isn't great but it was soooo cute!!!

Right, got to go!!! Its quite chilly here today so we are going to snuggle up on the settee with a blanket and watch Alice in wonderland.

Thank you for popping in

Morning all!!

It's Lou in for you today with anther one of those yummy pleated cards but this time I went for a more male version. I am sooooo in love with this pleated fold skirt thing at the minute! I just think it looks so cute and especially with the double sided papers.

This paper is from my scrumptious Pizza size 12x12 random box. It came with just over 50 sheets of random 12x12 papers and it is seriously so much fun to delve into that box because there are papers in there that I never would of thought of buying myself.

This cute october afternoon monster one is a perfect example of something I would not normally of bought but it goes so super duper well with those gorgeously cute Mama Elephant Monster Jam stamps! awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww I love it...I will probably just stroke the other 2 sheets I have left of this design from the box!!!!! lol!!!!

Bloomin Boots.....

Dies- TE Bloomin Boots.

Paper- Pion Designs My Precious Daughter- Julia's Dress.

Hi everyone!

Yesterday I had some fun with quick make because I couldn't resist having a go at the pleated fold for cards I had seen on a facebook page. They are seriously a whole tonne of fun. I am sure I will be having a play with a few more layouts with the pleated bit today!! I love the way that double sided paper shows the 2 patterns all at once, so cute!! 

And oh my!! The  TE Blooming Boots sets are just fabulous!! I love the little sentiments and the matching dies just lifted the welly boot fun so much!! I love the little patterned clouds!! Here are the sets! They are linked to the shop I bought them from, Dies to Die For.



I used a 5x5 card base. The pleated part is a 4"x 12" piece of patterned paper, measure an inch up from the bottom on the left side and an inch down from the top on the right side, then trim in half diagonally from each mark. The score at 2", 3", 5", 6", 8", 9" and 11" and concertina fold. I trimmed a little piece of the shortest end once I had adhered it to my card. So much fun!!

Hope you are all having a great day,

Paper- Crate Paper Little Boy Blue.

Hi everyone!

well, what do you do when one of your best friends has a baby and you can't decide which Snuggle Bunnies stamp set stamp to use?...... use them all of course!!! he he he!!!

They are just too cute not too so I went for making a little scene with them! they are soooo cute! 

Then all I needed to do was add in a little more cuteness with scrummy papers and dies and the job was done!...and just in time too since they are coming home today!! lol!! phew!!

This week I have felt totally out of sorts. Little Mo's medication change did not go very well at all and we have popped him back on his old tablets today. He was in such a state on the new ones so sad, anxious and snappy and not himself at all so we decided they are a no. The thing is, I do not want to change my little man in any way, he is so lovely just as he is. All he needs is help to be that comfortable out of the house or when he is away from Scott or I so we have gone back to the ones he was doing quite nicely on for now. It means taking them at lunchtime but he is ok with that so for now, thats where we are going to stay. But it has been a hard few days and it has broken my heart to see him so lost. Today I am just going to try and chill to get myself through feeling bad mummy-ish. Even when it's not our fault, it so heavily feels as if it is for us allowing those tablets into his delicate little system. Its a hard place to be to disturb his world from a way he copes with it so well so cups of hot tea and a chocolate biscuit or 2 are going to get me through until I go and pick him up and see how he managed today.

Huge hugs and thank you's for popping in

Duke....

Image- Duke from Mo's Digital Pencil.

I just had to keep myself busy this morning or I might of bursted from excitement!!! (...actually...I still might!!!! one BF's baby is here, other BF's baby is really ready to be here!!! oh my!!!!!) so I thought it best to try and make something to settle myself down (...like that's gonna work say people who know me well and are probably very right!!!!!!).

But I had this cutie Duke sitting on my desk and he needed to be somethink'ed so I tried to concentrate on him!!!! He comes with an awesome saying and I had an old mojo monday sketch 127 to follow for a group on facebook I am in so I decided to make it a cute feature of the card too!!

I coloured him up so he looks like my Dasher. I don't like harsh blacks in pens so I always go for warm greys. He has the most gorgeous brown eyes so I had to get those in too.

Right, I am off now to get a bit more excited!!! honestly there's no hope for me really!!!!

Huge hugs and thank you's for popping in!!!
