A lil birthday bag o' love!!!

Stamps- Wryn Have Heart clear stamp set.

Sentiment- Sweet Tooth Cute as a cupcake clear stamp set. 

Papers- DCWV The birthday wishes stack.

Hiyah peeps!!

I am a bit late popping in today. I have stopped and started with my make all day, still not feeling quite tippy top so my energy is lacking! lol! but never the less I got my little cutie finished about 5 mins ago so its time to share.

And the spookiest thing is, I was sat fussy cutting this little lady this morning when my messages beeped and it was none other than the gorgeous Christy Croll messaging me!! so it must of been super fate that I decided on this stamp to colour up and do a make with today!! he he he!

Those little ikea bags were still sitting on my kitchen side so I decided to make a lil birthday bag o' love with her!! the cute little sentiment is from one of my other fabulous new tiddly stamp sets. Its soooo hard to choose which one you want to use when you have them all laid out in front of you! they are all just soooo delicious!!!!

You would laugh if you were sat at my house right now, Mo is just going in the bath and he and daddy are discussing the terriblness of Mo's bathroom toilet ( ...its dreadful! it doesn't flush well at all) and they are discussing the best way to get rid of the poop that gets stuck!! lovely!!! its a very fix it manly conversation!!!

Thank you for pooping in on me ;)

Hi everyone!

Well I am still in the world of snot and it took me a long time to make my card today because I had to go back to bed after being up all night coughing, I just couldn't keep going! blooming buggles!! hoping to pick up soon.

Anyway, I woke up and just had to purchase myself a bit of cuteness! I think she is just fabulous. She comes with that fabulous sentiment that is just matched to her so well.

I splodged on some colour and had some fun with layers of paper and distressing  and then of course a few pearls....well, you gots to look after a spoilt girl right?!!!

Right, I am off to see if I can keep my head up enough for a mooch around the silhouette store, I didn't even manage my excited tuesday shop there with my subscription because I have been feeling so rough. 

Huge hugs for you all

I teamed him up with the fabulous Boys will be boys download from Funky Hand, a gears cutting file from the silhouette store and a little 'cool' from my yummy new Tag Builder Blue Prints 3 set.

And here's the little card out of its envelope. I love how this comes together, its just a perfect combo of all things fun!

You're so good for my heart.....

Stamps- You have my heart.

Dies- Die- namics you have my heart.

Papers- Daisy Bucket perfect harmony Callie.

Card base- Lori Whitlock Tri fold bracket.

Morning everyone!!

Second post for today! this is my make for the DTDF inspiration blog and I soooo adore this card!! 

I am so into using my cameo for cardbases at the minute, its just such a joy to whip out those different folds and designs and combine them with my crafty stash.

I also used my Have a Heart co-ordinating dies for my stamp set for the first time. Now...I need to practice a bit more with these! lol! I got a couple of them a bit off centre but they still look uber cute so I forgave myself!! 

Here's a piccy of the card open with more of the gorgeous Have a heart stamp set used inside.

The sentiments in this set really are so me, I just absolutely love it. I think it has been one of my most used sets recently.

Right, time for me to pootle off! I'll be back tomorrow!!

Loved up post it note holder...

Papers- Huge Funky Love.

Post it note holder- SlL Store cut file.

Morning everyone,

Its my turn to post over on the Get Funky blog this morning! Before I waffle on too much I just wanted to remind you that all the downloads in the LOVE section of the shop are just £1 in celebration of the season of love!! he he he!! but there are some super downloads in there and they are good for all year round.

We get through a whole tonne of post it notes in our house (....because little Mo loves them.....and because I am forever loosing my little pad of them!!!) so when I saw this cut file in the silhouette store I just knew it would go perfectly with the Huge Funky Love download.

Now, its a wordbook download too but the bonus is these delicious A4 papers that co-ordinate with it too and it is one of my favourite downloads ever.

I always print on one side and then pop the papers back through, printing a different design from the download on the other side to give myself a double sided paper, that way you get a lovely contrast when you do things like little rips or turns like I have in the top right corner.

Thank you for popping in! I'll be back in a while with my DTDF blog share too so you get 2 lots of Lou's today!!!!

Thank you for popping in

Bronte and Louis...

Image- Bronte and Louis.

Papers- Bronte paper past freebie from Mo's digital pencil.

Yellow spotty paper...mmmm...can't remember!! lets call it...

 'left in stash pile and looked yummy'?!!!

Hi everyone!!

well it was a gorgeously snowy kinda day here today. I took some time to stare out of the window at the flakes tumbling down and have some crafting fun!!

Now, you will laugh at this one!!...I coloured my super cute little Louis...but the cardstock I chose sucked...I mean like really sucked!! I will not be using it again! lol! but all was not lost because I had a new bottle of crackle glaze to play with and decided this little guy would be perfect for it!!

To give you and idea of how much he needed rescuing..this is how he loooked before crackle glaze fun!.....poor lil guy looks like he has a huge case of chicken pox a la pants no blendy paper!!!

I pushed on though and finished his hair...( couldn't resist colouring them up like my little Mo and Dasher) and then it was time for 2 good coats of crackle glaze. I let it dry and then gave the little guy a good roll in my hands to bring out the cracks some more and then gave it a rub with some walnut stain distress ink.

I am so pleased I didn't trash it because it came out so cute! then I just had to print out the Bronte papers Maurie gave as a freebie ages ago, I chose the blue green one to go with the blues and greens in my colouring, layering it up with a little bit of spotty paper I found in my crafty stash pile on my desk.

I have finished my Twilight marathon and moved onto Blade now!! 2nd one tonight so have tomorrow night to watch the last one and....super exciting.....I get 4 of my new windows in tomorrow!!! eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep!!! we saved hard and can only afford 4 this time and then a few more in a couple of months!! wohooo!! our old ones are terrible!! the came with the new build it was and they suck! they let air in even when they are fully shut!! and Mo is super sensitive to wind and noise and that scares him so I can't wait for him to have a lovely well fitted window in.

Right, time for me to pootle off!! you must all be asleep from my waffling by now!!!

Stamp- Have Heart Wryn clear stamp set from Tiddly Inks.

papers- Huge Funky Love from Funky Hand.

Sentiment- I heart you- Silhouette store.

Cardbase- Lori Whitlock pop out heart base- Silhouette store.

Morning all!!!

well its a hideously blowy and rainey day here...yuck!! but all is good because I have warmed myself up with a quick wryn make this morning!! oooh I love this stamp ( ...family be warned...everything you receive from me will probably have this cutie stamped on it!!)

But seriously, she is just too cute, I might even be brave enough to say she is my fav wryn from the new releases...but that's only until I colour up the next one!! romfl!!!! lol!

I love cards with a bit of poparoo so I used one of the cardbase I have bought from the silhouette store and some delicious funky hand papers I had left on my desk! I love how it turned out! I saw the challenge over on papertake weekly of Fancy folds and just had to give it a whirl!! I haven't entered a challenge in so long so decided to go for it!!

Right, I need to scoot! I am having mummy and Grandad time today! we are going for breakfast....which is good because I only let myself have a yoghurt at 5:30am this morning in preparation and to say my tummy is grumbling would be a complete understatement...even the dogs ran away when I looked at them for fear I may eat them!!!! romfl!!

Have a fab day everyone, thank you for popping in
