Once she was all coloured up it was time for some yummy paper fun a la magnolia stroke only stash of papers and a bit of distress ink!!! I can't remember where all my flowers are from, they just came out of the flower stash box and got glued in!! but they do look gorgeous in that little corner!!

Papers-Carta Bella Giddy Up Boy pad.

Bazzill cardstock- Ivy and Fern.

Dies-MFT Die namics Grassy edges.

coloured with Promarkers.

Moooo-ning everyone!!!

he he he he!! well, with a stamp as cute as this is just had to be done!!! 

I am at work at the minute so I am hoping blogger is being good and posting this for me because as soon as I get home from dropping little Mo off at school I will be crashing into bed!! night shifts are awesome but that head hitting the pillow moment can't come soon enough after driving to school and back!!!

I loved making this card! I even had the best cow skin pattern paper to make the card up with and I was so excited about that! I really do love Chrissy Armstrong's animals, they are just so beautifully drawn and so easy to stamp, plus too much fun to colour!!

And I couldn't resist layering up some grassy edges along the bottom too :) I think they look so sweet and it just makes the card pop a little.

I am on a not a lot or no sentiment at all thing at the moment. I don't know why really, I just seem to of forgotten to add them recently! I can think of some supercute ones for this little cow though so I better get on it and  add one before it goes in a little plastic bag to sit on my desk forever!! lol!! 

Thank you for popping in on me! I will be noseying in on you all when I get up later!!

Saturated Canary....Reader....

 Image- Reader from Saturated Canary.

Papers- MME Quilting Bee.

Morning peeps!!!

the gorgeous Saturated Canary DT have got a lovely post full of inspiration for you this morning, ooooooooh its a good one! you don't want to miss it, the creations are soooo pretty you will be drooling all over your pooter keyboard!!! 

And this gorgeous little wooden plaque using 'Reader' is my make. I used some of my stroke only MME Quilting Bee papers and some flowers from my stash, a bit of gauze and a die cut heart, glued it all on in a splodgy Lou manner and voila!! she was done!!

 I stepped out of the comfort zone of fussy cutting and just ripped around the edges of her and then added some distress ink, that was sooooo much fun! I am going to do that a whole lot more. She has some glossy accents on her glasses to get the real glass colour change look. I think you can just about see it on the first piccy!

The plaque is gorgeous, I got them  ages ago and they have just been sat (....admittedly under the pile of poo on my craft table and I found them the other day during the mass tidy up mission!!!) but ooooh I think I need some more now! 

Right then, I best go get on! I haven't done Mo's pack up yet and Scott is at work today too (...boo for overtime :(  I love my date days with Scott :( ...more boo for overtime....) ah well, more crafty time it is then!! romfl!! 

Thank you so much for fighting past the tumble weeds to come see me!!

Papers- MME Quilting Bee.

Dies- Die namics Layered Heart.

Die Namics Vine Border.

Hi everyone! Happy Monday!! 

awwwwwwww how totally cute is this little lady?!!!! I simply adore her!! I really loved colouring her up, a bit of promarker time on a sunday evening is always awesome for relaxing a Lou!!!

I have been practicing with my colouring over the last couple of weeks trying to perfect 'the not colour it all over but blend it in' thing and I love how she turned out. I made the bear all fluffstery by dotting my blender pen all over him.

Then it was time to have some fun with those gorgeous Quilting bee papers from MME, now I have to tell ya'll these papers are strictly stroke only but I just had to use them because they just walked up and made me!!! he he he he!!! but in all seriousness it took me forever to do that tear in the layer because I was sobbing at using the papers.....!!!!

I used a few of the scraps left over from my die cutting from my last card. I covered one of the little hearts with some of the paper, cut it out and then layered one of the top layer on it, cute!!! she is off to play in the Anything Goes challenge over on the DP2 challenge blog too!!!

Right, I gots to go! I have a day of snuggling and playing with the little guy before he goes back to school tomorrow. I have to say we have had the best christmas break this year. I made the conscious decision to have a crafting close down over the holidays and it was just fabulous to indulge in family time. My family is just my world and we loved spending it just doing family stuffs! yup, mostly just goofing around and giggling at my mum actually reversing her mobility scooter into into someone's motorbike and knocking it over......!! but aren't families just the best?!!!!

Have an awesome day everyone! Huge hugs Lou xx

Father and Daughter.......

Morning peeps!!

I hope you all had a lovely new year. 

I had some lovely relaxing crafty time yesterday. It was such a nice day. I crafted while Mo watched Lazy town...under the chair..on the floor next to me!!!!!! Poppy was not best pleased as that is her normal spot so she snuggled under my feet instead!! 

We went to my mum's for lunch with my Grandad and then had a lovely lazy afternoon at home. Scott and Mo popped out so Mo could buy himself some Tombstone Valley figures and Poppy and I did some 'Lie Down' training. She did fabulously bless her. She loves to sit on my lap! here is a picture of her yesterday afternoon showing me she still fits on my knee......sigh.......

Anywhoo, I had a birthday card to make for a gorgeous friend of mine and this is what flowed out of my crafty little fingers!! he he he!!!

I matched my promarker colours into my papers and just let it all flow away. I love love love this image,its just beautiful and a total joy to colour.

Right, I need to find some clothes for Mo and get us sorted for a dog walk, a little fresh air first thing in the morning is just the ticket!!

huge hugs and thank you for popping in on me

Morning everyone!!

I hope you have all had wonderful weekends. I had some crafty time all to myself on sunday afternoon and I enjoyed every minute of it making this little card.

There is something magical about white ink stamped on kraft card, I just love the look of it. The gingerbread house on the MFT Sweet christmas stamp set is just perfect for that christmassy feel, luckily there are some super sweet sentiments on the set to go with it so I made another tag to pop the sentiment on.

And oh my, those pierced tags stax are just soooo delicious to use, the little holes are so cute and they cut like butter, oooooh they are just so scrummy!! 

Some stroke only papers and gorgeous polka dotted ribbon just finished it off.

Have a magical monday peeps!
