Mousey tent card!!!

 card and box- Tent Treats Card by Kim from Cuddly Buddly

Morning Peeps!

Oh how I love love love saturdays!!!! we have had a deliciously lazy morning! I have baked a banana bread and a Coconut Lime loaf so our house smells yummy...and full of calories!! romfl!!!!!!

I wanted to share this awesome tent treat card from Kim this morning. I have to admit that the tent treat cards are my thing at the minute!! The little mice come up all coloured and ready to either decoupage up a bit or just use the topper, its fab because the box comes in the download too and a patterned paper is in it too. I used the patterned paper  that is is the download to print on the back of all my pieces so that the pattern follows through. They are just so much fun and I LOVE this download from Kim because she also included the option to have the circle blank to decorate as you wish!! squeeeee!!!! so here it is all empty.....

 and here it is after some Lord Tim tattered florals die and martha stewart butterfly treatment!!! how cool is that?!!! I love it!!! 

There was even a spare topper left after I had printed these 2 out so I can add those to a normal card blank and make a cute card to match the set!!
Right, gotta go!! need to so spend some time with this little squidger here....

He's sooo cute!!

Have an awesome day everyone!!!!

Thank you for popping in on me!!!

Fabulous Friday!!

Morning Peeps!
This morning I wanted to share aTiddly Inks card I made a while ago because this cute little kitty is back in the Tiddly Inks Store!! yey!!!!

He is just way too cute!! and of course the piccy is linked to help you find them too....:) and there are a whole tonne of gorgeous ideas on there too from my awesome Tiddly buddies in the gallery pictures in the kitty listing there in the shop too!!


I am feeling a little sad today, my dad and my little sister are going back home today :( the 3 weeks they were here seems to of just flown by so quickly. Its a funny thing because even though I don't get to see him everyday I always feel so much safer when my dad is in the same country as me!
I love that I can ring him whenever I want to and know he will be awake because he is in the same time zone, I love that I can actually squoosh him when I see him instead of hearing him on the end of the phone and wishing I could squoosh him, and what I love most is seeing him with Mo. Mo absolutely adored seeing his grandad and aunty colette,now all I need to do is win the lottery so I can go have holidays with him at his home in the seychelles!!! :)


Right better get my sorry little self into gear really as I need to get dressed for work...though I think it would be so much better to go on pj's!!!
thank you for popping in on me, have an awesome friday peeps!

Getting Funky on a sunday!!!

Papers from Wishes and Kisses from Funky Hand.

Morning Peeps...well just barely! its almost lunchtime here!!! :) we have been having a very lazy morning here in the Daubney household. Mo and I are still in our pj's and scott has just got back from walking the fluffy princess so she is softly snoring on her bed and Mo is watching 'Journey 2 the mysterious island'.......again!!!! he he he!!! its a lovely little peeps film. Its so cute because everytime they make it through the cave we hear "its beautiful" then " I need a mini elelphant..." 

So I thought I would share a little book I made using the awesome new Wishes and Kisses cd rom from Funky Hand. I had the 'you're engaged' colourway to play with and I love it! it is just about perfect for everything!!!! especially a beach loving little mo.......

 I used the giftcard template to make a little folder to hold some of Mo's favourite beach piccies in. I trimmed a slither of each of the photographs for the page of my little surfer dude! I popped a mini eyelet through each one and a bit of twine, I really like the effect it made.

 The best thing about Funky Hand cd roms is that Anice takes a very long time making sure that all the papers in each colourway go together tickety boo no matter which ones you choose. For this next page I chose 2 totally different papers and they look awesome together. I ripped some big holes in them to poke a little mo and his poem through!!

 For the last couple of pages I used 5 different papers, you can just about see the little green paper cut with my cheery lynn die behind the piccies of me and scott with mo-ster.
I cut the mummy and daddy with my lord tim chip block die and some scraps of yellow card from my scraps box...which is completely over flowy again and I need to sort that out....:)

Now, while I remember Anice will be on Create & Craft on wednesday morning at 8am and 11am so don't forget to tune in and see some more awesome samples and the Wishes and Kisses cd in action!! if you can't wait until then there are some fabulous videos from Anice over on the Funky Hand website.

Right, I had better think about getting dressed really. We are off out for a big family of 12 meal with my dad and my little sisters. I am so looking forward to it because my big sister will be there too and I haven't seen her properly for a few weeks. Watch out chinese restaurant here we come!!!!! Mo is especially excited as Boo and Jake haven't been before and he wants to show them everything they can choose from!!!!

thank you for popping in on me

Saturated Canary challenge 21- Bling it out!!!!

Image- FIN-Tastic from the Saturated Canary Digi Shop

Paper- Rainbow Stripeys Stripes

Gingham yellow from Craft the Year Away

Afternoon Peeps!!

Its that time of the week again when the canaries over on the Saturated Canary Challenge Blog set you into another awesome challenge (..squee! I have loved the last 3 saturated canary challenges but this one...oooooh!!!) and this week we want you to...

Bling It Out!!!!

super yey!! what crafty peep does not love a bit of bling and sparkly???!!!!! I went for bling in the form of yummy glitter!! I used my copic spicas on her bikini and my glitter for some sea. The beach ball and bucket are made with a pearlescent red card too so bling,bling,bling baby!!!! :)

The card itself is a biggy, its a 7.5x7.5 inch one and its pearlescent too, hard to see in piccy :( I made the cloud background on it with my faded jeans distress ink.

The Funky Hand papers are just perfect because they remind me of deck chair fabric and each towels!!! and the yellow is my hope that the UK will see a summer soon.......he he he!!!

The little bucket and beach ball are a Hello Kitty sizzix die. I tied some twine around the bucket handle. The sentiment is pooter printed onto some MFT flag stix die cuts. I LOVE my flag stix!! they are such a yummy die for just making something look real neat! I wrapped a bit of twine around the sentiment and added a little starfish charm to it too.The doily was sitting on my crafty desk (...yeah..all who know me well will know everything sits on my craft desk....!!!)so it kinda got splonked on there too!!!

The funniest thing about making this card was of course my little Mo. He sat happily watching me colour in on sunday and then he said "mamma, do you know that girl must have steel swimmy bottoms on because that shark is going to bite her butt"....oh my did I giggle!!!!!

So, Please pop on over to the Saturated Canary Challenge blog and see what my awesomely talented teamies have made to inspire you along your way!!!

Thank you so much for popping in on me!
