Swit Swoo!!!

 Morning peeps!!!

He, he,he!!! what a way to be greeted on my blog !!!!! by a nice pair!!! romfl!!!!

I made this cheeky card with an SVG shared by connie, please take a peek at her blog. Thank you Connie, its a really fun cut.

 I have made these bra and panties cards before but with having my new MTC I wanted to have a go at cutting one with that!!!! I get so excited about using it!!!!

I embossed the  bra panties with divine swirls to give them a lacey look and tied some black satin ribbons on the sides of the panties for a bit more swit swoo-ness!!!!! I added a little heart 'tattoo' with a little heart gem I had in my bitsand bobs box!!!

I added a little ribbon and a heart charm I bought a while ago from Clare's fabby shop, cloud 9, in horncastle. I added a bit of bling to the bra too!! couldn't resist!!! lol!!!

This card is for a friend to give to her boyfriend who is going away for a few weeks for valentines day! hope he likes it!!!

We had a lovely lie in this morning, Little Mo didn't wake up until 6am but poor Scott has woken up feeling really yukky. It has taken him an hour to get out of the bed but the daft bat has taken himself off to work now, I do wish he would of just stayed home today and rested a bit. I think he might have vertigo and he feels all icky and dizzy whenever he is not laying down.

The kettle is calling me to get another cuppa before I go to work so I will see you all later!!

Thank you for popping in!!

Huge thursday hugs

Playing with my new MTC software!

Hello Peeps!!!

I have had a fabby night out in my little crafty garage playing with my new Make The Cut software that my mummy bought me for christmas and I have to say I am loving it!!

The card base is a file from an amazing lady called Penny Duncan, please check out her blog if you have been thinking about MTC as she has some awesome tutorials and help on there (for dim wits like me who don't really know what to do with the software after wanting it for months!!! lol!!!!)

This one was her centre riser card and I love it. I have actually made a couple (but one has the gorgeous new Betty on it from Funky Hand so you will have to wait a little longer for that one!!!!)

The heart is cut from my All Mixed Up cart and  I heat embossed the top part with some copper powder the papers are from my stash and I really couldn't tell you what they were but i liked the colour of them!!
Sorry for the dark and gloomy background, had to use my flash because its so dark here!!!!

Right then, I am off to tuck myself up in bed ready for catching some zzzzz's now!

Mo's digital pencil too challenge.

Good afternoon peeps!

I have had a lovely day with my two boys here. My big boy Ryan is a bit snuffly and coldy but has been quite cheery and Mo was just very very pleased to see him and has cuddled up to him almost all day (bar a few disagreements on toys and such!!!)

While they were playing this morning I decided to have some time in my crafty garage so left daddy with the boys and headed out for some me time!!

I just had to use my new 'Wonderful Day' digi from Mo. Isn't she just beautiful? I fell in love with her and loved colouring her up so I could enter this weeks challenge over on Mo's digital challenge this week which is Bless the beast and the children. I am hoping that the gorgeous little hummingbird counts as an animal because he is so sweet.

I have never entered a challenge over there before and I was in awe of the awesome cards the DT have created, well worth a visit just to drool over them!!!

I treated myself to Make The Cut yesterday with my pennies from Santa and have been having a little play today, nothing exciting or cut yet but just playing to get myself used to the program.

Well I am going on a little blog womble now whilst the boys are watching their movie before bath time, can't wait to see what you have all been creating now.

Huge Hugs

Lou xxxx
