Saturated Canary challenge 35...theme..Movies!!

Image- DJ Love from Saturated Canary.

Afternoon Peeps!!

Its time for another fun challenge over on the Saturated Canary challenge blog and this week Mindy has set it for us!! Mindy chose....

Movies!- create a card/project inspired by a movie!

So this one was a bit trickier than I thought!! lol!!! but in the end I just had to use the super cool new DJ Love image and go for a contemporary twist on the film 'The Sound Of Music'

Now you can use these guys apart but I LOVE them together, I love how he looks like he is hypnotised by the super cool DJ chick!!! I tried to colour it in so that he is standing in front of her DJ desk!!

Now a small confession....I thought she was wearing a cool one sleeve top with a cuff on the sleeve but after I had finished my card and added her to our DT blog I saw a card that the gorgeous Deb Glennie had made and realised it was a bare arm with a bangle........derrrrr Lou!!! but I kinda like that she has a cool one sleeved top on so I left it!!!

The papers are we r memory makers Teen Angst along with a few more bits from the same range I got in the pack! the little IPOD charm is actually one of the stamps in red staz on ink shrinkified. I think it turned out real cute! getting a piccy of the holographic border strip and my crackle glazed letters was a bit more tricky!!

Here is a little bling shot so you can get a better idea of her hair, it looks so much cooler IRL!! the dots around them are glaze pens and copic spica glitter pens but I couldn't get that to show up too much either, I am just pants at pictures!!!

 and here's another so you can see how the crackle glaze dried on the letters, it looks really cool!!

So, please pop in on the challenge blog and see what the rest of the awesome DT have made up to get you all inspired... I have seen them all, you don't want to miss them as there are some great movies to get you all going!!!
As usual for a thursday I am at work whilst this post is all scheduled up so I will be in to visit you all tonight when I get home!!

thank you for popping in on me, sometimes my little old blog is so quiet with comments that I swear I see a couple of tumble weeds drift across my screen so I hope at least a few people enjoy this post!! lol!!

Honey in rubber?....ooooh yes please!!!

Stamp- Saturated Canary Honey from Little Darlings stamps.

Morning peeps!!

How are you all this wonderful wednesday?! great I hope. I am! we got a little lie in this morning as Mo did't wake up until 5:30am!!!

So my share this morning is another of the gorgeous CHA release saturated canary stamps and oooooooooh I love them all!!! I have been merrily working my way through their gorgeousness and only have a couple more to share with you but today its the turn of Honey.

I fancied something a but whimsical so I split some cross stitching thread up and glossy accented each strand all curly onto the dp, then I used my fav Memory Box butterfly delights border to cut some little butterflies out in kraft and my dp and glued them on, sooooooo cute! I love them....heck I love everything!!!!!! lol!!!!

the papers are from my websters pages paper pack I got free on a magazine a while ago, the are delicious. I ripped and inked up some kraft and added a couple of little corners and the job was done!

Yesterday was very exciting as Mo and I returned home from work to the news from Scott that Poppy had lost her first tooth!! awwww my baby is growing up!!  Mo was so excited! he asked us if the tooth fairy would come and bring Poppy a puppy markie for her little tooth ( that was actually quite big as it was a middle one!!!). Now I am one of those daft mummy's that loves to make everything just a little bit magical for her little boy so the the tooth fairy did come and we let Mo go down to Poppy first this morning! You should of heard his little giggle as he found this package and read the note...

I tell you there is nothing better than making this little guy happy :)

Right that's me for today! I am on doggy duty again at lunchtime and before that I have a 40th birthday man card....arghhhhhh... to make and a ladies birthday card! best get a wriggle on!!

Have a wonderful day everyone, thankyou so much for popping in on me and my crazy little world!!

Papers-Websters Pages Botanicals.

Morning Everyone!!

How are you all this tremendous tuesday??!! fantastic I hope!! its a brrrrr cold one here this morning and we have been up and raring to go since the small human alarm clock went  off at 4:55am this morning.......so I have had plenty of time to make up a little valentines card ready for the season of love!!!! ooooh and while I am here, please pop in on Christy's Tiddly Inks blog because there are 2 super cute freebies over there for you!!

I ADORE this stamp set from Tiddly Inks...and even better its clear which makes masking off the image to work out where to stamp the hearts behind the gorgeous couple really easy.

I coloured this stamp a couple of weeks ago and it has just been sitting next to me on my desk making me think awwwwww since so I am super pleased it has made it to a card!!

To bring in the colour of her dress to the card  added a squidge of blue tutu trim. I LOVE this stuff!! its awesome!! and I don't waste any either! I trim it to just fit behind the scallop to the edge of the card on both sides!!

So, my RAK for today was a chilly one!! he he he!! Since I was up and wide awake I went out to de-frost my next door neighbours car as she had to go to work soon. (Her little girl, Sophia, is Mo's breakfast buddy!!). Here they are enjoying the snow last night when we got home from school....

yup, they threw those huge snowballs at each other right after I took the piccy!!!

So that's me for today peeps!!! I have a lot to do today as I am on doggy duty and pick up duty after school tonight so I am hoping to get in a little make or 2 in between things!!!

Thank you for popping in on me!!

Papers- Carta Bella Alphabet Junction.

Twine

Morning Peeps!!

I hope you are having a wonderful monday, its Lou in with a post for you this morning.

So this morning make is a bit of a memory one for me. One of my crafty goals this year is to make a card/ scrap page inspired by a memory or moment that means a lot to me. When I was at school I had the most awesome teacher, Mrs. Hutchison and she had a beautiful way with words and the way she read stories and sang used to be so magical to me so this card is made with her fully in mind.

I used the carta bella alphabet junction papers because it is a childhood memory, trimmed down my base papers and ripped a little tear into at the top, curling the edges around my paper piecing tool!! I cut a Die- Namics notched border and fishtail flag and then wrapped some twine around it.All the stamps are from the Die-Namics bookmark die and stamp set. I distressed all the edges of my papers too for a bit of umpf!!!

The sentiment is popped up on some foam and I made the little book charm by stamping 4 of the book stamp and adding a little bookmark of twine before attaching it through the torn part.

Here's a side view so you can see a bit of dimension....

On the inside of the card I stamped the long 'Read This' stamp. I love it because its just perfect for writing your message above it.

Do you ever RAK? not a planned one but an on the spur of the moment real RAK ? .....

Yesterday Mo made me proud. We were cleaning out some of his dressing up outfits that have gotten way too small for him and he said he wanted to give them to someone,not throw them away so we thought of 2 little guys who might enjoy them and Mo knows live near us and got ready to go, then he decided he wanted to give them some of his sweeties too and made them a little bag of sweets to go with the costumes. He had gotten dressed as Harry Potter while we were sorting through so kept his outfit on to deliver the little packages. Then off we went to deliver them. Mo LOVED it, albeit a little shy on delivery on the way home he was floating on air and he said...

"I feel epic! I made 2 little boys really smile!"

swoon, I love my little guy so much. Here's a piccy of his little piles...

Mummy's RAK was pants by comparison to Mo's!! I took some dog food and puppy food to my friend who works for the RSPCA. Last week she mentioned that sometimes the homeless people with dogs come in asking for food for their dogs so I decided my RAK would be some food for them as we have been hanging on to our gorgeous Holly's last food bag and Poppy never went on to pouches so they weren't going to any use on our cupboard.Here's my pants offering!!

 

Though I have to say we felt like a million dollars all afternoon.  

That's all from me today! I am on breakfast buddy duty in a little while and need to get dressed still!!

Have a magical monday! thank you for popping in on me

Pitching in with a SMASH page :)

Morning Peeps!!
I hope you are all snuggly and warm on this freeeeezing sunday morning!!! we have a nice easy day today, Mo has a swim lesson at 10am but other than that the only thing we have planned is vegging out!!! 

So this morning I have 'Pitcher' to share with you all! Last year during a bloggy wombling session I downloaded this printable I LOVED it, its  from Lara on the Less cake,more Frosting blog, its just such an awesome quote that helps me to focus when I am having a not so chirpy Lou day and giving up on things!! and it was 100% perfect for a smash page with 'Pitcher', one of the new release stamps from the gorgeously awesome Krista Smith's Saturated Canary stamps from Little Darlings rubber stamps.
Isn't she just adorable???!! I think she is awesome!!! its a quick but cute page because its all about the image and the quote, why mess with perfection :)

Also Lara has been into the hospital for surgery soon so if you fancy popping in on her blog and leaving some love I am sure she would appreciate that oodles. Lara has asked for us to do a bit of a RAK so I am thinking of mine right now and what I can do for it!

Of course it wouldn't be any fun without any washi tape so I used a bit of my gorgeous cloudy sky one Krista sent me in happy mail a while ago! I stroke it more often than I use it but thats just me! I have a whole box of strokeable washi tapes!! he he he!!!! and the cute little stickers are from one of my We r memory makers sets, and a little twiney bit was needed too!! :) 

Right then,its time for a cuppa and a pintrest womble for CHA yumminess! I have been loving seeing all the gorgeous new bits popping up.

Have a super sunday,thank you for popping in on me

Morning Peeps!!

I hope you are all having or have planned a truly wonderful wednesday, I know I have! I was so lost when the little guy went back to school yesterday that I only got one card made in the morning and then walked around with the dog for the afternoon!! so I made myself a plan for today...drop Mo off at school, walk Poppy on the field near school, come home and craft until lunch, have lunch then craft some more, walk Poppy when I pick up Mo.....kerching! happiness!!!!

And I am very excited to share  a little make with one of my gorgeous big sister Sam's new digi's. This is Daisy Bear and awwwwwww he is so cutey patootie!!! ooooh and before I waffle on much more about it, got to let you now about the digi sale over at Cuddly Buddly.....

YEY!!! so onto Lou wafflies about Daisy Bear!!!! so this is my Mum's mothers day card...yep, I know I made it early but this year I so want to be on top of things as everything seemed a last minute rush with cards for my family, this year I am stepping up the pace and getting theirs to the top of my list and pootling through them. I am quite enjoying it too!

I coloured him up with my promarkers and then added a squidge of texture to him with my blender pen rubbed on an off cut of denim and then pressed onto his gorgeous furriness!!! then it was just a case of teaming the little guy up with some of my fav Funky Hand papers. I always have a tonne of this Huge Funky Love paper printed out! I LOVE it! and this cute little guy is going to go sit in the Inky Chicks first ever challenge which is Anything Goes.

so, do you want to see a couple more of Sam's new releases in action?..... squeeee! ok then!!!  I was going to do them in seperate posts but they are all just so cute I can't wait....

and here is Bunny Bear...

These papers are from the Shabby Saturday download and Craft the year away cd rom, and I had a little bit of help from a Little Mo on this one! he wrote 'Happy Easter' for me.

When I coloured this little bunny bear I coloured him up and then dotted all over him with my blender pen to get him all fluffy bunny feeling!! he's sooo cute!!

Right, time for a cuppa and a womble in on you all. Its been kinda quiet in bloggyland with commenting so I am off to leave some love incase you all pop in on me!!! he he he!!!

Morning Peeps!!

Its time for a new challenge over on the Tiddly Inks challenge blog , its Anything Goes, a nice easy one to get you all going with your tiddly crafting for the new year!!! and even more exciting is the new releases in the Tiddly Inks shop from Christy for today! they are gorgeous!!! I used the gorgeous new Skater Wryn clear stamp set on my card for today. All the cute little stamps I used on my card are from the same set! I adore them all!! and the sentiments are gorgeous. I chose the 'skating by to say hi' one.

I am popping this little lady in the challenge over on the allsorts challenge blog too, their CAS challenge is what got me into stamping straight onto the card!!! I have to admit I am no good at CAS whatsoever!! the fear of stamoing straight onto my card took me 5 mins to get over and then I had to work up the courage to colour straight on there too!! and then to top it all off there is that ever growing urge to stick some embellies and ribbon on! oh my! I salute all CAS card makers because this was so tough!!!

So now for the new releases......may I just squeeeeeeee!!! digi stamps and clear ones!!! 

digi stamps.....

Hope you are all waking up to a great monday. Its my turn to share over on the DTDF blog this morning  and I decided to go and have a good old rummage through my stamp draw  (...yeah, ok ...one of my stamp draws...!!) to find some hidden treasures that I haven't used in a while!!

I came up with Tatiana Ketto. She was one of my first ever Stamping Bella buys and I love her. she just has a litte something about her that makes me smile whenever I colour her up and she is so easy to colour. Her hair is 2 tone with a slight hint of pink and it looks yummy!!

Right! got to go! its my little Mo's last day of the school holidays and we are having a Mo and Mummy day. So far Mo has planned playing on Moshi Monsters while I craft so that sounds fab to me!! I love this little guy so much! he has everything covered!! he he he!!

Oh and did I get my craft desk tidy you ask?...well I got it to this...

and then we decided to do a bit of gardening as the weather was not rainy and quite warm! foggy but I feel fab for getting the garden tidied up a bit and I was going a little stir crazy with tidying......

Thank you for peeking in! have an awesome day
