I coloured my little girl up in colours that co-ordinated with the papers and added a few blobbies of waco pearl maker. The image is one of Claire's charity ones so when you buy here you are helping out an awesome cause. Please click here to read more about that..and while you're there don't forget to sign up for the Jellypark club too :)

well, thats enough wafflies from a little Lou for today :) don't forget to pop over to the challenge blog and see what our gorgeous Ruth has made too.

I have had a really awesome weekend and yesterday we celebrated Scott's mums 60th birthday with a surprise lunch out at Washingborough Hall Hotel, it was wonderful.Scott took some photographs so I will share a couple when he has sorted them out!!

Right, breakfast buddy and Aunty duty for me today as well as a visit to check in on my mamma too. She has had a wonderful couple of weeks so I am so super hopeful that when i take her to the consultant on wednesday he will say that she doesn't need another surgery on her spine.

Thank you for popping in on me

10 of the best!

Heart shape stone Scott found me on the beach today!

 Evening Peeps!!

I have been a bit bloggy quiet for a couple of days!!! but today was our anniversary so I wanted to share a couple of bits with you!!

Scott and I have been together 10 years today! wow time goes so quickly! and for 6 of those years we have been married (...yes I was super sly and chose the anniversary of us getting together as my wedding day too :)

We all love the beach so thats what we chose to do today! we made a picnic, bundled us all in the car and had an awesome day on the beach!! we got there at 8am and stayed until 1:30pm when mo had started to look totally sleepy from all the playing and running around and Holly was just vegging out in the sand in the shade of the promenade wall. 

And that stone above!! oh my!! that was just the most magical moment ever!! I am a terrible beach comber!! I love driftwood, smooth pebbles and teensy shells so I always take a little bag and have a good rummage in the sand, especially in the shore line so whilst mo was busy digging a huge bed for himself with daddy (...with the huge spade he found...his mamma taught him well!!!) I plodded off for a rummage. A little while later Scott walked over to me and said "Baby I found you a stone" and passed me this gorgeous heart shaped stone!! I couldn't believe it!! how special is that? so I feel so super lucky and blessed today.

And then when we got home Little mo pootled off to his bedroom. He came down a few minutes later and asked daddy to print off a picture of mummy and daddy together. we wondered what it was for!! and then a little while later he came down with this.....

 awwwww!!!

as you can imagine this is our bestest anniversary card!! I love that he does little things like this!!!

So all in all I am the luckiest wife and mamma today and I am so thankful for Scott for giving me a beautiful and treasured family. They mean so very much to me and I am so very blessed.
Thank you for popping in on me and sharing my day

Cuddly Bear....:)

Kim's digi papers- Pretty Mix brown

Morning Peeps!!

Hope you are all having a great wednesday! its half past week already!!!

So yesterday whilst the 3 little monkeys were busy playing I sat in my crafty garage and made a bear!! I love just pootling around with these papier mache animals!! and to make it easy for me Cuddly Buddly have a tonne of papier mache art blanks just sitting in the shop for me to choose from!! :)  next of my list is the torso, it looks awesome!! I just like having a play with something a bit different|!!

So I printed out Kim's Pretty Mix Brown papers onto some of my thin letraset paper, it comes out absolutely gorgeously ( make sure you put it in your printer so that the top side of the paper as it came out of your pad gets printed on) and then ripped some strips into little squares, I love the little ripped edge that shows but you could do it with scissors and make neat squares, I am just messy ;)

I popped the pieces on all random and then gave bear a good coat with the decopatch glue afterwards to make him all shiney. The bow is made with some ribbon from my stash.

I love these little art blanks and they are just perfect for those little peeps at home for the school holidays too!!

I am on Aunty Duty again today and my hayfever is running riot today so its piriton and a cuppa for breakfast for me today!!

Thank you for popping in on me

Tiddly Inking on a tuesday!!!

Image- Rudloph Bot - Robot Holidays set from Tiddly Inks.

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....

papers from Huge Funky Love wordbook from FunkyHand

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....:) 

Right I am popping her in a couple of challenges! they are......

Dream Valley Challenge blogs- Die cuts and Punches

Cutie Pie challenge blogs- Spots and Stripes

I love promarkers- Spots and Stripes

She was a total joy to colour and I can't wait to see how much money she raises. It  is so exciting and I can't wait to pop in and see what you all get creating with her!!

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!
