Hello everyone!!

Well, in the event that I don't get so excited about the card I made for my Dream Team post tomorrow and share it today because I just can't wait...Nope...wait....that's just what I have done!!! but she's sooooo cute and I had so much fun with it!! so....I'm sneaking in with a post for you today using the terrifyingly gorgeous Schoolgirl Zombie.

And her sentiment!!! oh my days!! It's just perfect for a Monday! I couldn't help myself but make a funny little verse to go inside too! It had to be funny and zombie-themed so this is what I came up with...

I love it!! I've put it on my desk out in the crafty garage/ Little Mo Momelearning zone to keep me going tomorrow! I already know I'm going to be spent in the morning before I even get anywhere because its 5:41pm now and I am heading to bed already! I am exhausted after girly time took it's a toll on me this week.

I have new meds for it and am being referred to the hospital to see what they can do for me. I am having my bloods done on Tuesday too to check my haemoglobin levels just in case they are low but I think they'll be ok you know.

Right, my duvet is calling me! I'm going to listen to my body and go catch that train to the zzzzzz's!!!

Thank you for popping in, Hugs Lou xx

Urban Tilda...

Stamp- Magnolia stamps Urban Art stamp kit.

Dies- Maja Designs Vintage Romance.

Doo Hickey 22 set.

Morning peeps!

I'm in for you today with my Swedish Housecrafts DT make of the month and I have to say I absolutely enjoyed making this one. I just had one of those 'Let's really explore the whole of this stamp set' moments!! I LOVE those moments!!!

I took my inspiration from the stunning Magnolia stamps Urban Art stamp kit. It really is the most perfect set. Of course, you get your beautiful Tilda but then included in the set are these awesome little 'filler' stamps. I love how the little date stamps popped up on foam worked so nicely on this one...

I love that little butterfly from the Doo Hickey 22 die set too. Oh my, this die set! When I first got it I thought How am I going to use these little bits together? but it's a really good one!!!

And then that larger ticket from the stamp set again, on this one below...

I teamed that up by cutting out a few layers of the Doo Hickey 22 flower in both sizes. I scrunched them up and inked them to distress them and then carefully unfolded them and layered a few together for each flower, holding them together with a mini brad.

Then I just had to use the tree, flowers and bow from the die set too. With those delicious Maja Designs Vintage Romance everything just went together so prettily. 

Right, I need to scoot! Scott is getting his new shed today and he and Mo are up and ready for it to come so they can get building! but first, they need to empty the old one and get it taken down! Luckily it's another lovely day so we can just plop stuff on the decking! yey!!!......and I am also hoping that some old poop will get taken to the tip too!!!

Huge hugs for you all, have a wonderful wednesday, love Lou xxx

Paul Texting...

Hi all!!

ooooooh I love this make!!! I had such a blast doing it today! I've gone for a good old Mo's Digital Pencil golden oldie, Paul Texting.

I really do love a golden oldie and the magical thing about digital images is that you can size them exactly as you want for your project. So I was able to print him just the right size to fit onto the Lawn Fawn reveal wheel card base piece I had cut out for him. 

Now, I have to be honest and say I only have this many Copic ciao pens...

Yup!! that's it!! and I've had them for almost 14 years!! but they still work and have never been refilled or anything like that...though my colourless blender has run out totally now. I am going to build up my favourite colour combos of these though as the new promarkers just don't do it for me anymore. My favourite colour blends are no longer available and they run out shockingly quick now, which is such a shame because they used to rock my world.

But for so little colours in my Lou arsenal, I absolutely love how this came out, I made the image the focal point of the card with that fun little spinning element which is really perfect for 'jazzing up' a male card when you can't add the normal tonne of Lou floof of flowers and butterfly goodness!! he he!!

Thank you so much for popping in, Huge Hugs Lou xxxx

Cupcake monster, candle monster!!

Hi everyone!!

It's Lou in with my Monday Dream Team post today and I wanted to share the little make I have done to join in with the fabulous new challenge over on Mo's Digital Pencil Challenge blog. 

If you haven't nipped over there to join in yet and not seen the gorgeous colour palette please do because the DT rocked it with their makes! this is the palette and its just dreamy...

I used  Cupcake Monster for my make. I focused on the sentiment and one of the teeny weeny cute little candle monsters that come in the set! oh my!! I just love it!! I perched him atop the sentiment. Let's take a closer peek at him!!

awwwwww the cuteness!!!!! It's so sweet when a little monster peeks up on your card right?!! he he!!!

Well, I need to shake a leg! It's time for Momelearning and this mamma needs more coffee to give me power!!

Thank you for popping in, hugs Lou xxx

Tiddly Tac toe!!

MAKING SURE YOU CROSS THROUGH THE CENTRE TO USE YOUR TIDDLY INKS IMAGE/STAMP BOX.

(**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 **)

And here is the inside of my card...

I just love those cute little gnomes!! there is so much to choose from in the Little Valentines Royal Fun set though, just look how cute they are!! That unicorn and her fairy are next on my list to use from it, so sweet!

Right! It's time for Momeschool so I need to shake a leg, glug my coffee and get on task!! tomorrow was our first full subjects day and he did so well. We just need to keep hot on it and not lose our momentum whilst we get used to those 3 subjects a day but we are still done by lunch and the afternoon is free for craft/cooking/reading which is fabulous!

Thank you for popping in, huge hugs Lou xxx

Megan........

Papers- Carina Gardner Superhero.

Good morning all!!

I'm super pleased you've popped in today because this little cutie, Megan, is just too super to miss!!! Don't you just love images that make you smile inside as you are colouring away? I know I do!!

Isn't she just the sweetest little superhero you've seen? I adore her! Teamed up with a few superhero papers and she's ready to go save the world!! These papers are just my favourite ones to turn to when I need some superpowers!! 

We have had another lovely weekend. We got a new friend for our bunny Marvin. He is called Buddy, which I find really rather magical as Dad's favourite singer was Buddy Holly!! They have bonded quite nicely so far which is so lovely to see as the colder months are coming up and they will so love to have each other to snuggle up to and keep cosy.

We had a lovely little drive out to the local car boot sale today and bought some freshly picked raspberries and carrots, then onto Hobbycraft to get Mo a black watercolour pencil for his collection and some fun fabric quarters for him to begin making the beeswax wraps he has learnt how to make and lastly, Asda for some plain white T-shirts for him to decorate. It's going to be a bit of a crafty afternoon week next week I think!!!!

I made Scott the most scrumptious chocolate, raspberry and chantilly cream cake today to celebrate those gorgeous raspberries we bought this morning. He is rather gorgeous so he is very much worth celebrating too!! he he!!!

Right, I need to scoot. My eyes are closing for me as I sit here typing. 7:30-8:30pm seems to be my limit for awake-ness still! though I am awake rather early so I think it must all even itself out somehow!!!!

Thank you so much for popping in, hugs Lou xxx

Because who doesn't love Llama's?!!!

Image- No Probllama from Tiddly Inks.

Good morning world!!

I hope you aren't all melting where you are out there?! It's been really hot here. I am not a heat lover. I adore seeing the sunshine but I am not a lover of the heat that comes with it!!

But, never mind that! How cute is No Probllama from Tiddly Inks??? TOOOOOOOO CUTE I hear you say!!!! I know right????

I teamed her up with some bright and zingalicious paper for this birthday make, I LOVE it!!

Right, I need to get on. There's Science to be done in Mo-melearning world today. We are still sticking with an hour for each subject until school term begins for normal school going children when we will swap to 3 hours a day ( 1 hour of each subject). Mo is doing so good. He is really keeping himself focused during that hour but one thing I have noticed is that he can't cope with any sound while he is learning. He gets really agitated by it so I cannot imagine how that felt in a classroom full of children for him. It really sort of breaks my heart that it felt like that for him for 3 years of secondary school but all I can do is help to support him from now on.

Have a magical day everyone, thank you so much for popping in. Huge hugs Lou xxx

Rowena....

Hello everyone!! How are you all?

Have you all been keeping up with all the gorgeous new images over at Mo's Digital Pencil? they are all just too cute!! Maurie really has been working out that drawing muscle this last week!! It's been super tough to choose who to play with first but this little cutie won!!

It is, of course, Rowena. She is just the most darling little witch. I love the way she looks so thoughtful. She comes with a magical little sentiment too. Let's take a peek at her in the shop.....

Just too cute not to pick up for a little autumn treat right?!!! I adore her.

We have been really enjoying the August bank holiday weekend so far. We've done the caravan for fishing and golf, we've had a gorgeous day at the beach swimming and today we've had a little trip out to Bardney gala to see mum and dad on their stalls and then the men of the house had a little bike ride.

It's so hot though! I am going to run a lovely cool bath to chill in in a minute before I put my pjs on and just veg out....or melt..I have not decided which will happen first yet!!! romfl!!

Thank you for popping in, Huge Hugs Lou xx

Country Boy......

Image- Country Boy.

Morning all!

I'm in with a post for you today using the super sweet new Country Boy from Mo's Digital Pencil.

My Little Mo picks the images I use for my Monday post and he LOVED this little boy with his chicken and wanted something making for him with it because he loved it so much so I went for a bookmark ( he reads soooooo much that bookmarks are always a must!!).

And of course, no sooner had the glue dried from the bookmark tab, that bookmark had been whipped from my desk and added to the latest book from the library!!!!!

We are really enjoying the holidays. Last week we had a couple of days in The Lakes and it was just gorgeous. We visited a few of our favourite places and found a new favourite too, Levens Hall. Mo LOVED the house and the topiary trees.

We also had our visit from the EHE lady. She comes to visit you to make sure you have yourself sorted for home learning and know roughly what you are aiming for. She was really impressed by all Mo's plans he had written down and even more pleased we had purchased the GCSE's online so we know what to learn. She really liked Mo's 'learning area' in the garage and said how wonderful it was so fingers crossed we are ready to go. It's still a little scary but I really think he can rock it bless him.

Today we are kind of chilling as Scott has gone back to work. I have some laundry and ironing to catch up on and Mo wants to make Nannie's birthday card so I think I'll be able to sneak in a little crafty time too!!

Thank you for popping in, huge hugs Lou xxx
