Mo's DP2 challenge....Anything Goes/ optional Warm ....

Image- Ragged Maggie.
Hi everyone.

I am so very sorry I am a day late posting my DT challenge make for the DP2 challenge blog.

We very sadly lost Scott's Grandad very unexpectedly on wednesday and it left us all feeling very sad and not quite with it at all :( He was such a wonderful man, so quiet and gentle and he will be so very missed. We are so sad to of lost him, yet so happy he had such a long and lovely life and I will be forever grateful to him because without him, I would not have my beautiful family.

So onto my make. Our challenge this time is ...

 "Anything Goes/optional Warm"

so, Just choose at least one of Mo's images and create your own masterpiece (card, 3-D project, etc.) using this fortnight's "Anything Goes/optional Warm" theme. Up for grabs is a $5.00 voucher for Mo's online store!! 

I just had to use Ragged Maggie. She is just so sweet, keeping her little kitten all snuggled up with in her shawl. 

I just added a few little rolled flowers and pearls to embellie this one up, she really doesn't need much else bless her.

Right, got to go! there is a small boy wanting to have a draughts rally! the winner plays daddy!!

Huge hugs Lou xx

Last night I had some time to myself so I took it wisely and coloured up this new and uber cute little  Reach Star guy from Mo's Digital Pencil. I don't know why (...apart from the fact that they are just super cute!!!!) I am just drawn to these cuties in their little pjs'!! theres girlie ones too so I might neeeeeeed to get those too!! lol!!

That gorgeous little moon os from the silhouette store, I found it while I was wombling around in there yesterday and thought it would just go so well with this little guy!

Right, time to pootle off! I have some card bases to get ready for adding some bits to later today and I have a ' get me out of the house I've got cabin fever' rescue mission for my mummy! she has been a but stuck in since her surgery with the bad weather ( slipping for her could ruin everything her surgeon is trying to do for her back) so I am going to take her to the garden centre for a womble and cup of tea.

Huge hugs for you all,

So I went new home!I have had a couple of friends move recently so this one will be pootling off to one of the soon! 

Now do you know what the best part of this make was?... I left my little make with stickles 'frost' drying on the table and Dasher..little ratbag...decided that licking off all the 'frsot' seemed like an excellent idea...so by the time I came down the stairs there was a rather guilty looking little prince on the table, with a little house on his tongue looking at me.....ot oh!!!

Luckily I was able to rescue it and pop some more stickles on it!!!! so funny!! 

Right, little man is requesting a hot chocolate so I am off to push the button on my tassimo machine!!

Huge hugs for you all

Coffee Run....

Papers- Affection and Affection too from Nitwits.
Morning all!!

Still have a little man down in the house but its ok because...wohooo! get me!! hubby's valentines card is in the bag!!! lol!! I had some extra time yesterday while the little guy was smooshed down on the settee with his dogs watching scooby so I had a little play with Coffee Run from Saturated Canary.

I love this image, she was just perfect for my hubby too because he loves coffee. We have had a tassimo machine ever since they first came out and he always gets the new model when its on offer! a little while before christmas he got the teeny new cute one for £30! bargain!! 

All she needed to be a super duper valentine was some gorgeous love themed papers and sentiment because she really does do all the work in that one lil image! love it!! I hot glued her on to keep her popped out because I have run out of the old faithful foam squares but to be honest the hot glue worked fabulously! I love a bit of pop!the centre of the heart and the sentiment have some pop too! I think he will love it.

Mo is a little better today. His temp is normal now and appetite is returning...made himself a salad a few mins ago but the stinky headache is still making him struggle some, medicine doesn't seem to touch it at all :( anywhoo, here is the salad he made himself! I caught him just wondering if he needed to add cheese sprinkles on the second one and his mouth looks all Elvis!!! (..please excuse my kitchen wall a la classy cardboard filling! we are part way through changing it round!!)





Thank you for popping in!

Stamp- Cakey Watt by christy croll for Stamping Bella.
Afternoon everyone!

I have been fighting with the migraine from hell since last night, urgh, totally dislike these migraines, I am positive they are coming with age but urgh they are horrid. So to cheer myself up I have been busy pootling away making a quick little card.

Happy cards always lift my spirits and so far...until the pain killers wear out...it is doing the trick!!!! 

I have a growing little stash of Christy's stamps for stamping bella now! everytime I peek a little bargain one I treat myself to it!! ...obsessed by christy croll much me thinks!!! lol! but I just adore her style.

He was so perfect for a man card to add to the man card stash I just went with the flow!! lol!!

Right, off for a cuppa and a soak in the bath to relax my head and neck muscles and kick this evil migraine into the soil before work tonight! ...if not..will be even more strange than my normal self on the painkillers!! he he he!!

Hush ~ DP2 Anything Goes.....

Image- Hush from Mo's Digital Pencil.
Papers- Affection and Affection too from Nitwits.
Dies- Magnolia Doo Hickey club 3.
Afternoon everyone!

its time for a new challenge over on the the DP2 challenge blog and this time its one of my absolute favs, picked by our fabulous Pat its a good old free reign on whatever you fancy with...

Anything Goes!!



So whilst drooling through my Mos Digital Pencil images folder for which one to use (...and printing out and colouring up 4...I am so not the only person who does that right?!!!) I went for the stunning little Hush.

Oh I do love this one so much. You can boy or girl baby it, I went for girl! and the edges on the images are done so that they are soooo soft and the effect once you colour it up is amazing! almost makes me look like I know how to colour!! he he he!!

All I needed then was some stunning papers to pop with her and a splodge of distressing and glue! I even squooshed in some of my fabby new dies from my Doo Hickey club 3! oooh I love it!!

Well, I had better pootle of the pooter and get myself ready to walk 2 gorgeous furry peeps before we pick up their brother from school. He is soooo tired this week. The first week back is always a bit of a sensory overload for him so I am looking forward to the weekend.

Huge hugs for you all
