Morning Everyone!

Its DT Lou popping in today with a bit of a Dad make!! Fathers Day is fast approaching so manly makes are top of my list at the minute!!

This little cutie arrived in my DT pack ( I tel you my DT pack rocked this month!!!) and I was itching to get him made into something.

I coloured him up with promarkers and added some glossy accents to his Dad Balloons and once they were dry I cut him out with the rounded banner stax. 

The card base was fun to make with the gorgeous Beach Boardwalk papers, they are so cheerful. I added a little Artic Bazzill to mat but the papers really did the work for me on this one. A little yummy ribbon and paper cord and he was done! sooooo cute!!

Here is a glossy balloon shot! he he he!!

I had the most awesome weekend. We didn't really do too much on saturday as I was working saturday night until 1am and with my dopey hip and Vit D thang going on I don't get enough umpf to do too much in one day!! and then sunday was just so lovely. We woke up to beautiful sunshine and I shared my brekkie with Mo and his "Lego army set up"...

then my friend popped in to fetch the cricut she bought from me ( squeee! well on my way to my silhouette fund/dog walking insurance now!! yey!!) and we went out for lunch with Scott's parents which was yummy.

Back home and another visit from my friend as their laptop got a virus...ick!! and helped me sort out how to invite people to my Facebook shop then another friend came to pick up some other bits I have sold!!!

It was just a lovely day and I felt so happy. I love that sense of calm you get from happy,its just awesome.

Have a super day peeps! thank you for popping in on me

Heaven sent girlieness!!

Afternoon Peeps!!

I have been busy in the garden again with Scott, Mo is busy setting up his bedroom being an 'adventurer' ( this involves packing many play bags with 'Stuff' and wearing your woolly hat inside whilst making occasional murmurs of "oooh a new land,lets set up base here" to his adventurer assistant..dylan the toy dog....) so I have just had a lovely hour to myself making a super special candle and finishing off this gorgeous little new baby card.

Yes, its that cute little baby bear again but awwwwwwwww who could resist?!!!  the flowers are made with my mini royal roses die, love this die sooo much!! the roses are so pretty to out together. I punched some little fronds to go with them and added a few creamy coloured flowers from my stash just tucked inside.

The pink patterned paper are from my DCWV Nanna's nursery girl stack and I really do love this paper,its so delicate and pretty.

Right, I am going to pootle off now! I have a bowl of yummy homemade in the slow cooker chocolate rice pudding with my name on it! I am all for comfort food on a chilly day!! he he he he!!!

Hope you are all having a fabulous saturday!!

Passion For Promarkers challenge 198- Doodleicious!!!

Image- Abi.

Heart Frame- Doodled by me!!!

Papers- American Crafts Take Note pad.

**If you are looking for my Tiddly Inks Dt challenge post it is here**

Me again!! he he he get me! 2 posts in one day!!! This time I am back with my Passion for Promarkers DT.

This time our challenge is Doodleicious and we want to see some doodling on your project!!

We are sponsored by the gorgeous Sally Ann from Digi Stamp Boutique again today and she is offering 6 digi's to the lucky winner...( Lou thinks about entering herself....!!!)

I used one of the super cute Abi images for my make. She is coloured up with...

Skin/ flowers- blush, sunkissed pink and coral

Dress- pastel green, tea greaan and soft green

Hair/basket- sandstone, caramel and burnt sienna

I doodled a few white gel pen dots on her flowers and cheeks and then added a bit of pearl pen to her flower centres! cute!!!

Now for my doodling..!! there is some around the edge of the paper in brown pen but the real doodling for me on this one is my very own Heart Frame. I made this frame for our Frame the Moment Tiddly Inks celebration last year and I was so very proud of it. I thought it would be just perfect for this challenge so I printed it out, coloured it in and added it to my card,just nestled in behind Abi! the sentiment comes with Abi  and I just punched a few flowers out of the scraps of my design paper.

So I promise that's me for today! I am off to get my hair trimmed before I start another day of jobs. I have so much to do today I might meet myself coming back through the door!!!

I coloured her up with my promarkers and cut her out and layered her up on a French Pastry doily cut in kraft card and some of the gorgeous papers from the Animal Antics pad. The little Lace Deco B corners just finished it off and I added her name using the Chip Block Alphabet strip die from Lord Timmy!! the lace is from my stash of oodlies!!!

Morning peeps! 

I hope you are all waking up to a wonderful monday! I am all chilled out and relaxed this morning and it feels wonderful. I had the best weekend with my family and it just makes me feel on top of the world!

This morning I have a Stamping Bella Uptown Girl to share with you! this is Opal the optimist and I think she is just fabulous!! I loved colouring her up and bringing her to life, she just makes me smile!...plus I would love a glass of her red wine!!!!

I kept this a pretty CAS card, just using my Blue prints 1 set to cut a scalloped mat and adding a border of this super yummy paper (...I did consider keeping it as stroke only but thought the boss might notice I hadn't used it..!!!).

I finished it off with a few white gel pen highlights and a gorgeous bow using the pink paper cord.

Yesterday my big sister and I took to the world with a little crafty stall at a local dog show. It was so much fun seeing all the different dogs and we got a surprise visit from our cousin Steve which was wonderful. It got rained off a but in the afternoon so we packed up early but I sold 4 cards!! and 3 of them were to complete strangers. How cool is that?!!! I am so excited!!!

On today's list of jobs is Tiddly inking, ironing and sorting out cupboards!! its spring cleanies time!!!

Morning Peeps!!

I hope you are all having a totally wonderful saturday! I am!! I woke up this morning and scott and I had breakfast together....alone......!! Mo was fast asleep snoring so we got up and had 35 precious minutes together before little guy footsteps plodded down the stairs announcing  in a little voice 

" morning parents! I am awakened!!"

He is so funny!! I am not quite sure where he gets his words from but they make us smile so much!!

Anywhoo, I turned on my facebook and there in my news feed was a gorgeous 24 hour ' Thanks' freebie from Mo Manning, awwwwww! this baby is just so gorgeous and was totally perfect for a special thank you card I needed to make. (...Quick go get it before it runs out then come back to read more Lou wafflies!!!)
I am popping him over in the papertake weekly anything goes challenge.

I needed a special card because after 6 years of nursery nursing I finished my job yesterday. I have been so totally lucky to work in such a wonderful place but with Mum being poorly my ability to commit to paperwork (...which might I add I am totally pants at!!) was just not up to what I felt was needed and I decided to give my mummy priority for a while since she has given me 35 wonderful years of love.I want to give her some back and help her to adjust to the things she just cannot manage to do anymore. It is so very hard to see your mum like this and although I am very sad to leave my nursery nursing I feel totally at peace with my choice. I am so thankful to the girls too because they know I don't do fuss and being the centre of attention so Gabby gave me my gifts on our nice quiet lunchtime break.

The girls at work got me the most awesome present. (My fave is the stunning box which I am going to keep in my craft room and fill with yummy bits and bobs).....

I adore my stunning Humphrey's corner card book made by my friend Hayley,its just gorgeous and full of lovely messages. I didn't quite make it home from work last night before blubbering away like a noodle in the car!!! I will miss my gorgeous little peeps so much.

Right, enough waffling! I am off to make myself a cuppa and have it in quiet as Mo has gone to Grandad's with Daddy to fix the car. So its a cuppa and some of these yummy presents from my little peeps ti nibble on while they are out....
