Papers- Bronte Bits Design papers.

Bones and treats- Poppy and Dasher's stash!!!!

Morning everyone!

I'm in with my normal Monday morning Dream Team make for you today. I am really enjoying delving into some older images again so I popped back to 2009 in my little Mo's Digital Pencil time machine and picked up the gorgeous Bronte Bits image set. I love all of Maurie's images but sometimes a trip back to the older ones really is such a fun thing to do, plus, I always forget just how much gorgeousness there is to choose from.

As always, my super soft spot for Bronte overtook me!! she is such a sweetheart of a pawsy peep character. So, I just had to make a little doggy treat box! 

Doesn't it just look so scrummy!!

I decided to colour Bronte up to match her gorgeous papers so I used minty green colours.

Thank you for popping in, hugs Lou xxx

Have a little heart!

Hi everyone!

I am late popping this card on today but here she is now because let's be honest, there is never a bad time to send someone a little love, or a little kind thought, or just let them know you are there for them.

Valentine Fairy is just perfect for this. Her little understanding face and hands holding the heart are enough to lift anyone's spirits.

Soccer Girl...

Morning all! 

I hope you are all waking up to a wonderfully crafty week? Today I am sharing my make using Soccer Girl s (redux).

This card is for my wonderful BF's daughter. She LOVES football and supports Aston Villa so I just had to do her a football-related card with her team colours! I had the best fun making this card!!

And this image is a bargain because you get 2 for the price of one! The older version is included in the download too!! winner winner chicken dinner!!!

Right, I am going to indulge in my large cup of coffee and take in the rest of the quiet before my gorgeous little man comes down. One of the absolute bonus's of Home Ed is that he can wake up and enjoy his reading before he feels ready to come down and learn. I love it. And his little personality is really coming back now. I am so pleased. His self-esteem and confidence are really going up and last week he was even brave enough to start with an English tutor on 1:1 lessons to help get him ready for his exams in May/June and then he rang up, emailed and sorted out an interview for work experience!! We are so proud of him.

Thank you for popping in, Huge hugs Lou xxx

Pussywillows...

Morning all.

Between Christmas and New Year we very sadly had a loss in our family. My husbands Grandma died. She was 95. Now I know it's a great age but it's still very sad to have her leave us. I didn't know her very well at all as she lived in Australia and I have never met her in person but my heart broke for Scott's Dad as I know just how it feels to lose a parent when you can't be there with them because they are in another country.

So I have made him this special card. Pussywillows is just so perfect for this sort of occasion when you want to see the beauty in such a loss.

Thank you for popping in, hugs Lou xxxx

Morning all! 

I'm late in with my Dream Team make post today but its the start of Momelearning term 202 and y'all know that cutie patootie lil guy comes first before I do anything else! He is currently revising Combined Science so I've got a few minutes to blog the cute little hanging creation I made using Valerie in Winter and one of my favourite dies.

There are actually 3 gorgeous images to chose from in the set but I LOVE this one of Valerie holding the snowball. I used my woodware fluffy stuff to get that super sweet snow look!!!

I made a quick little tutorial for the hanger I made and you can find that HERE in our Bella and Bronte's Clubhouse facebook group.

It's so super simple but it looks so cute when it's finished! and I have plenty of hanging room for more creations!! he he!!!! 

Thank you for nipping in, hugs Lou xxx

Good morning all!

I'm in with my Dream Team post for you today using that cute and fuzzy new little Candy Cane Bear.

I used him to make another sweet little hanging decoration. These are just the best fun when you don't fancy making a card and you want something more 'gifty' to make with your stash.

Let's take a closer peek at that little fuzzy fellow! oh my days I do adore him!!

I added a little glossy accent to his eye and candy cane because I just love a bit of shine!!

Right, I need to get myself to bed! the little guy turns 15 tomorrow....gulp!! I can't actually believe it! It's gone so quickly! but I am really looking forward to spending some family bubble time with him today and of course.....cake!!!!!! yummy cake!!!!!...this yummy cake...

I really had fun making this one!!! he was desperate to light the candles but we told him he had to wait until his actual birthday tomorrow to do that job!! lol!!

Thank you for popping in, hugs Lou xx

Hi everyone! 

Ooooh, I am late popping in with my dream team blog post today but we've had a busy Mo and Mummy day today so I'm only just getting to my pooter to get this little cutie added to the blog!

I have had super fun merging a few goodies from the shop for this one ( all listed above under the first piccy!)

And here's the blingshot!!!! I really suck at capturing that blingy goodness! and a little candy cane shine too of course!!

I am so enjoying making little tree decorations this year. They look so cute and pretty and make a really quick little gifty something for those special people in your lives.

Right, I'm off for a bath and to get my pj's on! It's dark already here so I figure that a bath and pj's before tea is totally acceptable right?!!!!

Thank you for popping in, huge hugs Lou xxx

Best Tea-cher Ever...........

Stamp- Magnolia Best Tea-cher Ever art stamp kit.

Roxstamps special Awesome die.

Pion Design The world awaits complete 6x6 collection.

Doo Hickey 23 dies.

Morning all!!

I'm in for you today with a super sweet make thinking of all those 'almost the end of term and the children are so excited about Christmas, we've got reports to finish and the nativity plays to survive' teachers out there! aren't they just the best and so worth celebrating? I think so!!!!

And I had just the perfect stamp set to help me along!! the Magnolia Best Tea-cher Ever art stamp kit. It has absolutely everything in there you could need to make a card for an awesome teacher. I had some fun with her too, paper piecing her little mug and hair bow.

In the stamp kit, you also get these super sweet little teabag and hearts and kisses stamps. I used them to make a little background and then stamped and fussy cut the bigger one to make a little embellishment.

I used the Best Tea-cher Ever sentiment on a tag from my school-themed Doo Hickey set in my stash and popped it on the corner.

And as for the perfect die....well, look no further than the Roxstamps special Awesome die. I coloured it up in an ombre effect after cutting it and then gave it a good splodge of glitter pen before adding some glaze to it. I LOVE how it came out!!!

Thank you for popping in, Hugs Lou xx
