Sneak peeks day 3...and a gorgeous Mo make too :)

Stamp- Free Hugs from Saturated Canary.

Morning Peeps!!

as you know, 2 of my fav ladies in the whole wide world are rocking out this week with their new stamps and I am just over the moon excited for both of them and I know they will both do awesome as they are the most awesome stamps! and I have to say I feel so super duper honoured to be on the DT of each of them, I am so blessed to have such awesomely talented crafty girl peeps as treasured friends :)

This first make is from Krista's new Saturated Canary stamps, they are all awesome and if you need a catalogue to go peeky at to see more there is one right here from over on the Little Darlings site, squeeeeee there are some of my cards in it!! squeeeeee!!! and if you are here in the UK like me...don't worry! I have heard they will be winging their way to stockists here too..so form an orderly line and no pushing....mwah ha ha ha!!!!!!!

and a new Tiddly Stamp too of course!!! this make is from this 'Cute as a Bug' set!! love it!!

toooo cute!!!

 Isn't she just awesome zooming off in her bug? I love the hearts smoke and the sentiment is just too cute! I cannot tell you how much fun it is to stamp a Tiddly!!!


So now on to my little guy and more totally proud mummy moments!!! 


I love this little guy, he rocks so much because he always loves to make a gift rather than buy one and he always knows just what he wants to make! and he is nifty with copy and paste on the pooter too!!(...yeah...he scored a good score on his report for ICT!! he got excellent with a level of 3!!)  this little guy made his own awesome backing paper for his make!! too cute!! here he is all busy...

Huge thanks to Bev too for telling me about collal multipurpose glue, its fabulous!! Mo used it for all of his project! I was lucky enough to find some in my local garden centre when I took mum out for lunch on tuesday. And this is what he made....

Squeeeee its sooo adorable. He scrunched up his paper and inked it, then splodged it on the canvas, rubbed round the edge (...with mummy's nail file...gulp!!!) stuck the blue flowers on the heart shape ( blue is his favourite colour) and mummy bought an easel for it!! I think little peep made gifts are the bestest ones in the whole wide world! I always take piccies of him making his gifts because I print the picture out small and attach it to the back of what he has made. His little photo is nestled into the back of this mini canvas.


Ok, I'll be back with a scheduled post later this afternoon because its challenge time again over on the Saturated Canary Challenge blog!!! off for a cuppa and snuggle time with mo before we have to get ready for school and work.
See ya'll later!!!

Mousey tent card!!!

 card and box- Tent Treats Card by Kim from Cuddly Buddly

Morning Peeps!

Oh how I love love love saturdays!!!! we have had a deliciously lazy morning! I have baked a banana bread and a Coconut Lime loaf so our house smells yummy...and full of calories!! romfl!!!!!!

I wanted to share this awesome tent treat card from Kim this morning. I have to admit that the tent treat cards are my thing at the minute!! The little mice come up all coloured and ready to either decoupage up a bit or just use the topper, its fab because the box comes in the download too and a patterned paper is in it too. I used the patterned paper  that is is the download to print on the back of all my pieces so that the pattern follows through. They are just so much fun and I LOVE this download from Kim because she also included the option to have the circle blank to decorate as you wish!! squeeeee!!!! so here it is all empty.....

 and here it is after some Lord Tim tattered florals die and martha stewart butterfly treatment!!! how cool is that?!!! I love it!!! 

There was even a spare topper left after I had printed these 2 out so I can add those to a normal card blank and make a cute card to match the set!!
Right, gotta go!! need to so spend some time with this little squidger here....

He's sooo cute!!

Have an awesome day everyone!!!!

Thank you for popping in on me!!!

Fabulous Friday!!

Morning Peeps!
This morning I wanted to share aTiddly Inks card I made a while ago because this cute little kitty is back in the Tiddly Inks Store!! yey!!!!

He is just way too cute!! and of course the piccy is linked to help you find them too....:) and there are a whole tonne of gorgeous ideas on there too from my awesome Tiddly buddies in the gallery pictures in the kitty listing there in the shop too!!


I am feeling a little sad today, my dad and my little sister are going back home today :( the 3 weeks they were here seems to of just flown by so quickly. Its a funny thing because even though I don't get to see him everyday I always feel so much safer when my dad is in the same country as me!
I love that I can ring him whenever I want to and know he will be awake because he is in the same time zone, I love that I can actually squoosh him when I see him instead of hearing him on the end of the phone and wishing I could squoosh him, and what I love most is seeing him with Mo. Mo absolutely adored seeing his grandad and aunty colette,now all I need to do is win the lottery so I can go have holidays with him at his home in the seychelles!!! :)


Right better get my sorry little self into gear really as I need to get dressed for work...though I think it would be so much better to go on pj's!!!
thank you for popping in on me, have an awesome friday peeps!
