Papers- Yummy Paper set from Tiddly Inks.

Morning peeps!

how are we all today? I have walked the fluffy princess already and am just sat waiting for Mo's little breakfast buddy to arrive. Once we have dropped her off at nursery I switch to Aunty duty and we are off to fetch Jake and Boo for another day of playing.

Last night I made my first real christmas card for this year!!! go me!!! isn't he the cutest and perfect to share for a Tiddly Tuesday make!!

I printed out my papers twice so inside matches the outside and then coloured up my little Rudolph bot adding a bit of sparkly to his scarf and ear muffs.I just had to colour his little legs and arms up all christmassy too.

I wrapped a little bit of twine around the bottom and tied it in a not and then fluffed out the edges.

The little figgy pudding is included in the paper set too so I printed it out and poped it on with a foam dot to pop it out a little.

The neat thing about this card is it doesn't really need a sentiment as the paper says it all!! yey!!!! :)

Christy's release for today is so super cute and she is a little teaser of the new releases coming out next week....

Meet Anna Belle Sweetness

Afternoon peeps!!

I am a 2 posts girl again today!!! lol!! I have been on Aunty duty today and whilst my little gang of peeps were playing outside I sat in my crafty room and did some craftying whilst keeping an eye on them!! he he he!! love the way my crafty garage is positioned right at the end of my drive and has an awesome view of the street where I live!

So onto my share!!!! :) How cute is this little chick?!! squeeeee!! I LOVE her!! she has a little bro too but I haven't had chance to colour him up yet!!! 

If you click on the cute little piccy below it will take you to the post on Krista's blog all about these 2 very special little digi's that Krista has created for charity to raise money for  St Jude's Children's Research Hospital.

I had some Huge Funky Love paper scraps left from my Fetch A Sketch DT card I  posted this morning so I got busy with my trimmer, martha punch and sewing thread and stitched to the soundtrack of the little peeps having scooter races and pushing each other down the little incline to my drive on the skateboard!! 

Balloon Wishes comes with some awesome little swaps to her balloon but I love the world one so much. I coloured it up, cut it out and gave it a good screw up to age and bobbly it a bit!! then I squished some silicone glue on and then attached it to the top of the balloon she came with! fab!!!! A bit of nestying and some punched corners with pearl pen pearls and she was all done!!!!

Here's a pile of promarkers....:)

LOTV christening..

Stamp- LOTV 'All our Dreams'

Papers- Nitwits

Afternoon Peeps!!!

I am a bit late popping in to my bloggy world today as we have had a wonderful breakfast and walk to the park for a few hours with scott's mum and dad. It was so lovely, Mo played on the park and fed the ducks and horses,Holly ran around like a loony and the weather was gorgeous and sunny and held out for us until we got back home.

I have cooked 2 banana breads and a coconut and lime loaf..yummo!!! and tea is in the oven so I can sit down and share the card I made for the girls at work to give to my friend Gabby's little baby on his baptism a couple of weeks ago.

It was a beautiful service and Mo was especially taken by the oils that were rubbed onto Cole by the priest and the church was stunning, so light and welcoming with the most beautiful stained glass windows.

For Coles card I just had to use the stunning little 'All our Dreams' stamp. This baby is just the cutest baby swinging on that branch in the spotty blanket and I love it. I stamped him in rich cocoa memento ink and then popped him through my printer to add Cole's name and baptism information. I coloured him up and inked him some clouds and then gave the whole circle a good old spray with my crafters companion spray. I really love the finish on this one...hard to take a piccy with the shiny surface but so so lovely to look at!

I added some blue organze ribbon to my nitwits papers, punched a martha doily hearts  lace border with the scraps left over and then a little teddy charm to the bow, awwwww!!!

I stitched a little book of paper so that all the girls had plenty of room to write their baptism messages for Cole inside.

I am entering him into a few challenges too, they are.....

Designed to color blogs theme of Boy/ Masculine

The Ribbon girl bingo challenge- ribbon,pearls and image

Deep ocean challenge- Anything Goes

Right, I had better get myself into action again and get on with making some gravy to go with tea which is going to beep in 4 minutes time!!!! kettle on and Aunt bessies gravy granules me thinks today!!! he he he!!!

Thank you for popping in on me today!

Tiddly Inks challenge 92- use your favourite image!

Morning Peeps!!! 

so I am a squidge late with posting my challenge make for this weeks Tiddly Inks Challenge! but this challenge was soooo hard for me!! I totally could pick a favourite since I love them all so I decided to sharinky up some of my fav Tiddly Inks stamps!!! wohooo!! and once I had finished my cute little notebook....which was going to be my only make for the challenge I couldn't stop at that so decided to take some piccies and make a lou kinda tut for you all!!!(...it took a little longer than I had planned to sort the piccies but I hope you enjoy it anyway!! he he he!!!!)

So first off, get out your super cute Tiddly stamps... I used Cute as a Bug and Friends are Flowers. 

Using Stazon stamp the ones you fancy using onto the rough side of your shrinkies. I use the little sheets.

Then colour them in using pencils. I used my cheap as chips watercolour pencils. 

***tip***- don't press too hard with your colours as they intensify when you shrink them with your heat gun.

Cut them out. you can leave a little white edge around them if you want to or cut right up to the design edge if its bit too fiddly.

Punch little holes in your shrinkied cuties before you get your heat gun out and start heating them... I use the littlest setting on  my big bite to punch the holes...

Then before I shrink mine I like to add a little jewellery hoop to each one, its so much easier before you shrinky as they get quite thick as they shrink and its tricky with teeny things to add the hoops afterward, plus the hoops are great to hold with your tweezers when you turn on your blowy heat gun (...yep..I am one of those chicks that normally watches as your little image goes flying across the craft table when you turn on the heat gun....:) )

Here they are all shrinkied and hooped up!!!

Next I like to give them a coat of varnish to protect them a bit. I use glossy accents or my crafters companion varnish spray, today I used the spray...

 All sprayed up.....

Once they have dried you can have some real fun with them...

I altered a little pukka notepad for myself which is up at the top there^ :) and made a keyring for my gorgeous hubby who has had to put up with my big mouse teddy with my name on for the last few weeks after our old keychain broke!!!!

I hope I haven't bored you all silly with the piccies and please pop on over to the Tiddly Inks challenge blog and see what my gorgeously awesome teamies have made to help you get inspired!!!

Me and Mo are still in our PJ's so I guess we had better get dressed!! we have a long day on our own today as daddy is out on a meeting in Leicester and won't be home until 8pm at least. This morning we snuggled up and watching 'Lord of the beans' on Netflix, its a veggie tales one and its really cute!!!! sporks instead of orks!! too funny!!!

Have an awesome day everyone!! Thank you for popping in on me

Designed to color- vintage/shabby chic

Image-My bite is worse than his bark from saturated canary

Evening Peeps!!

I know 2 posts in one day again..but I just had to join in with the Designed to Color blogs fun theme week. So this is my take on vintage/shabby chic and of course a mega super cute My bite is worse than his bark from Krista had to be used, squeeeee she is just awesome because I love vampires and am just a bit twilight obsessed!!! he he he!!

She even has a little sparkley diamondy face a la sparkly edward and bella so she can be my little baby rennesmee!!!

My papers are Crab Apple to from nitwits and I added a bit of lace and some yummy roses made with my Mini Royal Roses die, it is by far one of my fav dies at the minute. The little tag is my SU teeny tags and jewellery punch.

Now, stitching let me tell ya'll about stitching! I love to stitch, all by hand because I am so pants with a sewing machine its funny!!! when I first started crafting I started out my crafting journey with cross stitch and I still find handstitching so unbelievably relaxing and I really enjoyed chilling out and stitching around this card today.

Right, I am going to pootle off now and have a nice deep bath.

Thank you so much for popping back in on me today

Cute little LOTV bear and ouchies!!!

Stamp- LOTV's 'A little message'

papers- raspberry road

Hello Peeps!

well I am popping in with this post way later than I had planned because I have just spent a delightful morning in A&E!! ...one heart trace,x ray and pee in a pot later and I was diagnosed with pulling an internal chest muscle :( I can tell you all now...it blooming hurts!!!! but after my MOT at least nothing else is wrong! Dr was very nice....I must admit I was hoping for someone a bit more McDreamy but he was very friendly and said I have probably pulled this particular muscle by sneezing and while it is painful the only thing I can do is take ibuprofen. He also said I had to eat before taking each set of tablets (...this is good, I have divided the box of maltesers scott bought me in tesco to make me feel better into 3 piles for todays medication.........:)

So enough me moaning on about my ouchies!! and onto my little card for today.

I am very lucky to have totally gorgeous friends who send me totally gorgeous treats and surprises and this little guy was one such surprise from a particularly gorgeous lady, thank you xxxxxxxxxxx

He's too cute isn't he?!!! I loved playing with this little guy. I am popping this card over on the challenge on the Papertake weekly blog which is make your own. I made the flowers! 


Right, I have to go do some resting now :( whilst feeling poorly last night I was also joined in my being awakeness by a load of daft and drunk partygoers who decided it would be a great idea to go for a walk down the fields next to our house at 2am this morning....after debating....LOUDLY... whether they should or not for 20 mins and trying to bang the tops off their drink bottles on my fence they finally pootled off...only to return 30 mins later....I really hope they have fabulous hangovers today!!!!

Thank you for popping in on me huge hugs Lou xxxxxx
