Morning all!!

so this mamma is completely lost without her little sidekick :( my friend Sam came last night to cheer me up working on a frame for her mamma for mothers day and I didn't sleep too good last night but I woke up to find some wonderful pictures had been added of how little Mo's class are getting on so far and he looks so happy in each one so that has really lifted my spirits. The sun is shining too which is always a gorgeous sight to see.

So this morning I have a make with this awesome new stamp from Mo Manning. Isn't she just fabulous???....you can even click on her below to get magically 'pinged' to where to buy her in the shop.... ;) I am sooo good to ya'll....!!! he he he!!

I went all mono in my colouring for this one and just stuck with my warm grey promarkers. A little dibby dabby blender pen on her hat and cardi to make them look woolen and that was it for colouring. I LOVE just having a change like this.

Then it was onto the awesome dies and stamp set! oh how I love these 2 sets. (They are linked up at the top under the photo) They have everything you need on them to make a super fun card with a technology kinda theme, they go so cute with this image too!

Well, I am going to hit the  'Tidy up the table' thing. Its a mess and I want some room to play with my Tiddly Inks stamps today!!! its going to be a Tiddly Thursday I think!! he he he!!

Thank you for popping in

DT Lou in with a share for you again today!  I found the most gorgeous little bird house favour box in the silhouette store and just knew it would be perfect full of teeny little choccy egss for Mo on easter sunday.

Erin...

Image- Erin.

Papers- Studio Calico Take Note.

Morning everyone!

I have 2 shares for you today but this is my first one and oh my gosh is she just cuteness!

This is Erin from Mo's Digital Pencil. She just has such a magical little face and body!! I went for a good old good luck card being as those little shamrocks are being sprinkled around by her. But I coloured them in pinks, blues and greens just to floof them out some, they have glossy accents on but as usual I suck a la lou for taking piccies!!!

I teamed her up with one of my favourite paperpads ever. I got it from Dies to Die For and its delicious. Its Studio Calico Take Note .

Right, I have got to scoot, I made a boo boo and forgot to wash Mo's uniform and now have his only 2 lots of uniform in the tumble dryer and I am doing that thing where you totally will it to be dry already!!! lol!! Though I should be grateful that he won't wear it for more than 2 days in a row because at least I know he will be a clean teen!! lol!!!

Charming lilacs and lemons!!!

Stamp- Semi Sweet Sweet Tooth clear stamp set.

Promarkers-

Amethyst, Orchid and Lavender.

Mustard and Tulip Yellow.

Warm grey 1-5.

Coral,Sunkissed pink and blush.

Morning everyone!

Its a Tiddly Tuesday Challenge and a new Passion for Promarkers challenge for me today and ooooh boy was this one a scary one for me!!

Why?? because our lovely Shelly on the PFP team chose us a a challenge of ..

Lovely Lilacs and Lemons.

Crafty Sentiments are sponsoring us tomorrow and they are back to doing digital images so our prize this week is 3 digis

and the Tiddly Inks challenge is something I am waaaaay more comfortable with, he he he!!! its...

Charming.

Grab your favourite Tiddly Inks stamp or digital image and add a charm to your make!

(**remember...We love to see any new creation, a card, 3D project, journal page etc 

but you must use a Tiddly Inks stamp or image to be eligible for the prize**)

So choosing my image was super easy, I rushed out to grab my Semi Sweet clear stamp set and got busy placing her on a die cut circle. I also bent the skully border to the shape of my circle and stamped it all around the edge, I used London Fog memnto ink so I could get that light grungy kinda feel.

But the colours..oh my...there was my heart attack!! I never use these colours much...let alone together!! but I braved it! then it was time for a good old distressing so I scrunched up my pretty circle, then unfolded and inked it, then ironed it flat!! there's also some cool crackle glaze on there but I can't get it to show up in a picture!! story of my life!!!

Then I added a rose that I coloured up with my lilac promarker ( I often buy white ones so I can just match them in with my pen choices!! 

I added my skully charm onto my pin and heartlessly stabbed it through....carefully pushed it through my rose and glued the little arrangement on.

The little ticket is one of the sentiment that come with Semi Sweet, I LOVE IT!!! so in the end my make felt like me!! so its ok to step out of that colour comfort zone peeps......for like 5 minutes!!!!!!!

Thank you for popping in on me!

DP2 challenge.... Anything Goes with optional critter cuteness!!!

Image- Out There from Mo's Digital Pencil.

Papers- an old freebie from Mo.

Hi everyone!

Its time for a new challenge over on the DP2 challenge blog and this time its a super fun one, chosen by Our lovely hostess Tracy, we have our "Anything Goes" theme as well as the option of creating a "Use a critter on your card" project. 

I totally had to go with Out There. I just love it, it so reminds me of my little Mo and Holly dog when she was alive, they went everywhere together and totally adored the beach.

I used an old freebie of Mo's for the paper in this one. I printed it out twice so I could get some pop on that bracket part and cut out the little stars for some pop too!  and just added some little clouds in there and a little twine for fun.

So that's me for today folks!! I get a little longer crafty mamma time today as little Mo is on a school trip to the space centre so I am just playing with a magnolia stamp and my pens .....and wishing the time away to 4:30pm when I can fetch the little guy and hear all about his day!!!

Huge hugs Lou xx
