Fang-tastic Beast......


Morning all (.....just!!!),

Its Lou in with a make for you today and I was having an 'ooooooh lets mix and match' moment this morning!!!

I wanted to make a little something for my little guy who has had a rough couple of weeks and we are very proud of him for just pootling along in his normal Little Mo way despite feeling a bit mehhhh! (he's a trooper bless him, I think he fared better than mummy and daddy through it all!!).

So a good old inking of a couple of my fave stamps sets mixed together and oh my!!!! Shaker Pouches, soooo much fun!!! wahhoooooo!!! a Little Mo treat was made!! I took a squidge of extra time to pop a strip of the paper left from the front of the treat holder to cover the little treat holding part and it really lifted it so don't throw those scraps of paper away peeps!! 

The sentiment from the MFT Frightfully Fun Halloween set was just perfect for those cute little beastie fangs!!!

Hi everyone!

I'm sharing my make using Fairy Godfather. Isn't he just fabulous? I love him! and I decided he would be just right for christmas colours now I am getting into the swing of my christmas makes!

So a splodging of christmassy colours and a good old bit of glitter...which...as per Lou usual...totally doesn't show in the piccies! dang!!! maybe I need to wish for sparkly picture taking help?!! lol!!

Right, time to scoot. I am just not wanting to get going at all this morning! I need me some more weekend family bubble time.I just fancy keeping the door locked and keeping the boys of the house to myself for just one more day. We had such a lovely weekend walking around and watching movies that I just need a bit more of that.

Thank you for popping in

Cosy Pram.......

Stamp- LOTV Cosy Pram.
Flowers- Petal Lu.
Afternoon all!

I am almost defrosted enough to type after a wonderful morning of walking around geocaching with my gorgeous men (...we got soaked to the core in rain and frozen by cold winds but it was still excellent fun!!) so now I can just about feel the tips of my fingers to type I thought I'd share my latest LOTV make with you all.

How absolutely sweet is the Cosy Pram stamp? I found it the other day when I was having a stamp tidy up! I popped all my LOTV stamps into one draw and took the time to stamp each one out on paper and make a kinda file system so I can see easily which one is which!! well, you just need to now and again...any excuse to stamp them all out!! he he!

So a baby card it was! awwww cuteness!! and I couldn't resist using a few more of those scrumptious flowers from Petal Lu. They are so delicate they were just so perfect for this card. And of course, I have popped this cutie over in the challenge on the Petal Lu challenge blog.

Right, I am off to have my 3rd cuppa since we got home to continue the cosy up the Lou process!! then I am going to have a good sort through my MFT stamps and get them sorted into a draw of their own too. They are in about 4 different places now like my LOTV ones were so a good sort will help me see how many more I need.....eh hem...I mean see which ones I have....!!!!!!

Huge hugs and kisses, Lou xxxx

There's Snow place like home............

Morning everyone!

I'm in for you today with a make using Lawn Fawn Snow Cool. This is such a sweet little set and wahooooooooooooo! it's not geared to only being a christmas set! which was blooming fabulous as my friend's will be moving in a few weeks time and a winter new home card is just what I wanted to make!! yey!!!!

I had a couple of my little Die Namics Stitched Jumbo Fishtail banner Stax left that I had made up to make a banner for the open day with some Lou colouring on, they are so easy to make and a whole tonne of fun for just having some colouring fun. The post service devoured my first banner (...grrrrr....) so I made another as quickly as I could.

Because it was already made up, I quickly cut out another banner frame in paper to pop over the top of my made up banner piece to protect the frame as I stamped. I wanted my little scene to be confined within the frame.

I stamped my first little igloo and then masked it off to get the other 2 on there, placed either side of the first one.....( let's take a moment to thank the delicious Misti for it's help in the making of this card!! oh my days, I can't tell you how easy it makes it!!).

A little pop of putting the 2 super cute penguins popped up on some foam and then making up my little sentiment finished with a snowflake and poomf!!!! cute new home card a la Lou'd!! he he!!

Tiddly Inks challenge #194...Kapow!!!

Image and sentiment- Avenger- Masked Hero.


Morning everyone!

It's time for another fun challenge here on the Tiddly Inks Challenge Blog and it's time for some Super Hero fun!!! the Tiddly Inkers want you to think.....

Kapow!!!

 So think super hero images, masked avengers and fun!!

 (**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 **)

I absolutely love this challenge. Christy's little hero's and masked avengers are just some of my absolute favourite images. They are cute and fun and can send so many different messages.

Avenger- Masked Hero even comes with her own little sentiments (...did I mention that this cutie is just $1?!!!! super bargain!! he he!!). I just adore her!! teamed up with some super cute hero themed papers and it all just comes together.

I fussy cut her, popped some bits of her out on foam and others adhered right to the card to give her the look of flying above the BAM part of the paper.

Don't forget to pop over to the Tiddly Inks Challenge Blog and see what the amazing Tiddly Inkers have made for this challenge, they have blooming rocked it!

Bookmark cuteness.........


Images- Mini and many friends from Tiddly Inks.
Morning everyone!

I hope this tuesday morning finds you all well. I have been a bit off colour!! Its quite silly because it's totally my own fault. I am allergic to egg protein but I have been trying to introduce a bit more egg into my diet and it was all going ok until yesterday!! I won't give you all the gory details but it has left me feeling very under the weather!!

So I needed a relaxing crafty something to do to stop me moping around while Little Mo enjoyed some Club Penguin time on the computer! I decided on making some little bookmarks. We get through so many books in our house,it's nice to dress up those pages to hold with something super cute!!

Here's a better piccy of cuteness!!
Today the little guy and I are going to coffee and card with our gorgeous friend and stampin up lady, Mandy. Mo loves going and really looks forward to it in the holidays so I am sucking up the yucky feeling and looking forward to some craftiness!

Thank you for popping in on me.
Huge hugs and love Lou xxx

Mighty Oak......

Image- Mighty Oak.
Flowers- Petal Lu.
Morning everyone!!

It's my turn to post over on the Dream Team blog and I absolutely loved making my card this week.

Mighty Oak is just the cutest little bringer of autumn fairy I have ever seen!! such a swweetheart. So a splodge of die cut cropping and some Lou fave colours and my lil fairy was all done. I love that little acorn! 

And I broke out the gorgeous flowers I won from Petal Lu. Oh my!!! they are so delicate and pretty! I adore them. Lucinda packed a box full of my fave colours and then a few others too that all go together (which was a massive help because I get so stuck in the colour comfort zone and really don't know what else to add into the mix!).

So we are on half term break now and I am so happy. I love having my mini squidge around. Today we have not a lot planned. Just woofer walking and Mo wants to play a little club penguin and roblox after that as we don't get time to do that in term time at all. 

Have a wonderful day everyone. Huge hugs and love from me xxxxxx

Mo's Dream Team halloween blog hop.....

Images- Come Hither.

Hi everyone!!

Its that exciting time of the month again for a Mo's Dream Team blog hop and this time its an Halloween theme picked by our lovely Debby.

Here's the Blog Hop run in case you lost on the way......


Don't forget there are two $5 gift vouchers to spend in Mo's shop to be drawn from the participating Dream Team Designers comments so... make sure you pop in and comment on everyone's post for the blog hop to be in with the chance to win!!!

I have had an 'image crush' on most of the Heartless collection since they came out!! I LOVE them! I have used Dare tonnes but never felt brave enough to go for Come Hither or Heartless until now!! gulp!! but Debby's halloween challenge just yelled at me to bite the bullet and get them.

Then instead of using just the one I decided they would be great fun for a halloween merge. So much fun because I love them together!! 

Here's a piccy of them with their bling showing. For some reason I can never really get it to show on a full card shot?? I think I need to sort out my lighting positions big time but here they are close up..eeeeeeeeeeeeeeep!!


Right! got to go!! have fun hopping peeps!
