Morning everyone!!

I hope you are all having a good week and ready for the weekend? Mo and I have had a wonderful week of holiday fun and mamma and me time and today Scott is off so we are off on an adventure to spoil Darwin hamster a bit ! he he he!! Mo will love it!!

So its Fab Friday over on the Tiddly Inks challenge blog and the Tiddly Inkers will knock your sox off with gorgeousness today. I decided to go for a fun with my stamp and Kraft card kinda day.

I bought this Kraft card a little while ago, its smooth and white on the other side so not like normal Kraft but such fun to colour on because I am never sure how it is going to dry out. I love how this one worked though and gave my little owlies some awesome white dots to pull them out onto the card, it works so cute!!

And I LOVE the little 'you're a hoot' stamp that comes with the stamp set, it makes it a perfect little fun make for friends.

Right, got to go! Family fun to be had!! he he he!!

A very excited little Mo this morning as he was taking his teacher gift for one of his very special teachers who is going out to teach in Qatar. She has done so much for Mo I wouldn't know where to start with thanking her, it would be never ending, but here is the little guy with his cake that he baked all by himself ( Lemon Drizzle) and mamma made the pennants for him! he was so proud bless him and so very very happy when he gave it to her and she was really excited.

Hi everyone! 

I'm back with a 2nd post for today because I so wanted to share my DTDF inspiration post. Its another of the makes I did for the Die Cutting Essentials 4 magazine.

Our brief was ladies birthday cards using the new Die Namics Build able blooms stamps and Die Namics Build able blooms die set. And we had a gorgeous summery colour palette to follow too. I used my flower dies nd stamps to make some clouds and a sunshine to show how versatile the sets are!it was so much fun to put together and of course, the felt cut like butter for the little textured clouds.

I used one of my favourite stamp sets to go with my card this time, The Whole Herd stamp set. Its just so sweet and I adore the sentiments! they are just perfect!

Right, got to go! today was so busy with Little Mo's hospital appointment which ended up lasting 1hr 15mins while his 2 DRs decided what to do for the best for Mo. But they were amazing and very thorough and have decided to hold off on surgery for 6 months to see how Mo goes, unless he gets really sick again in which case they have given us a number to ring to sort out a quick little op to see what is going on.

Thank you for popping in, Hugs Lou xx

Morning everyone!

Its my turn to post over on the Dream Team blog today and seeing as we spent our saturday on Little Mo's sweetie stall raising pennies for our local RSPCA at the fun dog show I just had to use  Bella hearts Bronte. There were so many gorgeous dogs there and Mo loved it. He raised a whopping £27.20 selling his little 20p mixes and 10p lollies and you would honestly of thought that penny jar he took to them at the end was full of gold, he was so proud of himself.

We are off to the hospital today for Mo's tummy appointment and I am so hoping it has got a bit better and they don't need to look into surgery so keep your fingers crossed for us!!

And don't forget!! over at Mo's Digital Pencil its....
