Morning everyone!!

I know I say it all the time but I am reaaaaaaaally excited about this card!! lol!! I used my new The Greeting Farm Magical Beans Kit!!! eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep!! its just fabulous!! this is what you get.....

too cute!!! love them all!!

Now I know they have been in clear a while but a whole set of them in rubber was just what I needed!! and you get 3 little sentiments on the set too.

I coloured her up with my promarkers, she totally needed blue hair ;) and then popped her together with some flowers from my stash and some more of that stroke only Bo Bunny Prairie Chic paper.

So we had another awesome weekend. I don't know how you guys do it but we kinda close down into our family bubble at the weekends. On saturday we pootled off to the beach as normal and had the best day! there was a new bowling alley in Mo's favourite amusement arcade. He loves that arcade because its not too noisy and everything is spread out nicely so its not awfully crowded either which is just perfect for a little guy like him. Mo won me a bracelet in the 2p penny drop machine and I won him a dragon and a skully bracelet, we got lots of tickets and we loved bowling, I got 3 strikes!! go me!!! and oh my! the bowling shoes were uber cute! we loved those too...Mo and I wanted to keep ours!!!!!

Thank you for popping in!

I am sorry I am a bit late popping in for you all but I am still on a go slow! I am plodding away on the antibiotics still so hoping they will really kick in soon...!!!! if not I am going to buy an amour plated bra to stop all movement to the booby!!!!!!

Luckily I have an E Bosser so pain is not a problem with the old die cutting! I just pop it in and whizz and oh my gosh!! I cannot tell you how much fun I had with this Die- Namics Smart Phone die set! I  think it is just the bees knees!!!!!

It really doesn't need anything else other than a cut and stick on as all the dies that come with it just rock and the MME cut & paste flair papers were just the right ones for the job!!! I used an extra 'U' from the parker alphabet set just to finish off the reply!! too cute!!

coloured with promarkers.

Morning everyone!!

I hope you have all had a wonderful weekend.

My make for you all today features the super cute new little Sailor Boy from Bildmalarna, I just had to buy him as soon as I saw him. I just love him.

I coloured him up with my promarkers and then mounted him on some kraft card and then it was time to play with those stroke only 'An Ocean of Strawberries' Bildmalarna papers, they are just wonderful. I chose a couple of the beach themed ones, mounted them on kraft too and added them to my little gable end box with some gardeners tape, twine and the cutest lifesaver charm ever ( ...that I can't find in the shop to link for you..sob sob!!!)

Well, thats me for today! I will be at work until 7am and then slinking under my duvet to sleep it all off!!! have a lovely day everyone!!

Football birthdays!!!

Morning peeps!!!

Its the time of month again for our 'Forgotten Funkies' showcase!!! each month the fabulous Funkettes are over on our blog showing off some new makes with our older downloads/cd's. 

Today's showcase is centred all around the gorgeously funky and zingy 'Colour Me Happy papercraft factory' cd rom. Just look at these stunning papers, 276 of them and 35 resizable digi stamps!!! It is cram packed full of delicious papers and digital images along with a fabulous workspace platform for you to work with them in before you print them out.... so they are most definitely too good to be forgotten!!!

So at £6.99 for the cd rom its a blooming bargain!!!!

For my make I decided to go boy!! lol! I resized the sporty balls digi to as big as I could get in in the workspace and then sized up the 1 to match the size of the ball using the 'order' buttonwhich lets you pop one layer on top of another ( I love that function! its fab for layering up the papers before you print them out!!) then I chose 2 papers. Now the good thing about the workspace is that all the colours of the alpha's co-ordinate with whatever colourway you have chosen...perfick!!!!

I cut out my matting pieces and then added a squidge of 'so holographic it actually makes your head spin' paper just peeking through in a small layer and the job was done. A quick but really eye catching card me thinks. I just need some poor unsuspecting football mad little boy to push it upon now!! lol!!! I am sure there will be one out there somewhere!!

Thank you for popping in!! don't forget to hop on over to the Get Funky DT blog to peek at all the fabulous makes, those girls know how to rock a showcase!!

Morning peeps!

Its time for a new challenge over on the Passion for Promarkers challenge blog and this week its been chosen by our gorgeous Shelly, its a fun one this week too!! Shelly has set us the theme of ....

Rags To Riches!!

so think of recycling bits and bobs to use on your creations.

Don’t forget, as always, to be eligible for our prize draw you must use your Letraset products (i.e. promarkers, flex markers, aqua markers, tria markers, metallic markers or neon markers).

Our generous sponsor this week is Polkadoodles and they are offering one lucky winner a prize of 2 gorgeous digis – ‘Fredericka chic’ and ‘Fredericka debutante’.

So I just had to use my lovely supercute gorgeous new Time Flies stamp from LOTV for my make and of course, when I went to the shop to buy them on the birthday open day my stamps were put into this gorgeous little kraft LOTV bag! so that was what got recycled!!! along with a takeaway coffee cup wrap!! (piccies below of before I attacked them!!!).

Here's a closer piccy of my coloured image...

awwwww, isn't she just soooo cute!! she actually has a bit of sparkle on her dandelion clock but the disaster that is Lou taking a photo just couldn't capture it!

Then it was time to add some gorgeous papers and die cuts from the coffee cup wrapper to make my flowers and hearts and hey ho!! it was done!! Here is a piccy of my bag and coffee cup wrap looking rather less gorgeous than they do now (..yes, they did have a word with me about showing them without their make up on but I assured them they looked so much better now!!! he he he!!)

Right, I am off for a cuppa. I am still a squidge tired from yesterday's no sleep but oh my was sports day just magical!! Mo absolutely loved it and we absolutely loved being able to share it with him. If I could only put into words how awesome Mo's school is for you all I would be happy to..however it would be the longest blog post in the entire world!!!! Its not often you find a school that strives to make every single day your children are at school child centered and so much fun. Its sadly a dying tradition here in the UK as schools seem to be leaning more and more towards constant testing of those precious formative years in a childs life. I am super grateful that Mo's school are the way they are, which frankly reeps way more benefits in the childrens learning than any other school I have seen! The children have SAT's but those too are done in the most wonderful way. Can y'all tell I am soooo happy Mo is there?!!!

Right, kettle boiling! have a wonderful day everyone!
