Dies- Die Namics Wonky Stitch squares stax.

Papers- Doodlebug Sweetheart.

Morning everyone!

Its time for another Stamp It Saturday. The Dream Team are colouring up and making some magic with Maurie's Penny Black rubber stamps every saturday. There are so many in rubber for those who love stamping that its an absolute dream to play with them, and this saturday its my turn!!

This time I chose His Heart (40-183)....(But don't worry digital stamp lovers!! this little cutie is in digital too!! With Love Boy...is available over in Mo's Digital Pencil store!).

I thought he was so adorable and of course I had to try out my new Die Namics Wonky Stitch squares stax. I stamped the top half of him, masking off the edge of my die cut square, and then masked him off to get that yummy scripty writing all around him.

This post is all scheduled up to post and I will hopefully be asleep after taking my tablets, lathering vicks vapour rub on my feet and propping myself up on pillows and blankets to try and stop the cough of evil!!!! it just isn't letting up on me in the night at all, which leaves my throat in shreddy yucky bits by the morning!!! lol!! but its the weekend and Scott and Little Mo will be home to keep me cheery so I am hoping for some getting better-ness with them around to make me smile!

Have an awesome saturday everyone,
huge hugs Lou xxxx

Morning everyone!

Its Fab Friday over on the Tiddly Inks challenge blog and I am a squidge late getting my blog post up, mornings are very hard at the minute as I need to get a handle on throat pain before I can function!! Dang infection!!!

But I so needed to get blogged so I could share this little bookmark I made for Mo with you all. If you are new to Tiddly Inks stamps/images you might not know that this image was actually made for my little guy a few years ago!!! I always find it quite magical when people use him too! Mo loves it!!

And if you all know my Mo...he reads...a lot...like all the time!!! so bookmarks are always handy! this one s one of the stix2 ones that come with a clear cover to pop over the bookmark to preserve it as it is being used (.....we get through a lot of bookmarks in our house because they are so used!!!!).

Right, I need to try and get dressed for the school run...especially as it will be happening in around 10 mins!!!!!

huge hugs for you all and don't forget to pop in on our Fab Friday post!!

Die Namics Tag Builder blueprints 5.

Morning everyone!

well I am still a struggling sicko zombie today!! I did however manage to pull myself into life a little yesterday to make a little shaker tag with my new sheepy stamps and dies!!! ( linkies under piccy). Mind you...it took me 7 stops and starts to get it done??? I need this virus to sheepy off!!!!

I haven't been able to split up and use all my die set as the banner die is faulty but popped an email off to MFT about it and can't wait until I can have a proper play.

Right, off to get a mug of boiled water and my wheaty bag and try and catch up on some rest, coughing, sleeping and sore throats are not buddies but I am trying to get them to work together on this thing!! he he he!!

Huge hugs for you all
