Morning peeps!!

How are you all this gorgeous monday morning? great I hope. I am still at work but I am sure it is a gorgeous day all the same! he he he he!! I will be home around 7:10am for a huge mug of espresso to keep me going for the school run and then its head to the pillow for the day when I get back!

Onto my gorgeous make for today! I do love this card, thinking of sending it to myself!!! lol!!! 

I am pretty lucky because my weekend always starts with my make for my blog post here on a monday and I always totally enjoy that make. I kick back, pop spotify on and just make away whilst my little guy pootles around enjoying his saturday morning! its fab. We are early risers so then we have all day to chill and play together, I love it!!

And lets be honest if you have an awesome set of Die-Namics Blueprints 3 and a pile of stroke only, use if you must Pion papers it makes card making super easy! there are so many awesome combo's it can get on your card base for you. I adore scruffing up edges and layering, it just makes it feel all homey and cute! I was lazy this weekend and crafted at the table in our lounge so it was scissor scuffing instead of my Distrezz it all tool but the edges still look scrummy and I do so love a layered up torny bit, I think they look so neat. My friend Chris taught me how to do that a few years ago at a demo and I always think of her when I do one of these. I added a little cotton twine bow to this one.

I am popping her over on the challenge on DP2 which is lots of layers.

Right enough Lou waffles boring you over your breakfasts!!!

Thanks for popping in

Hi peeps!!

Today I am having a pottering kinda day! you know one of those days where you just make whatever you fancy and go with the flow?! yup a kinda Spunky Sprite kinda day!!!! I love me so happy and she screamed happy at me this morning so I just had to pop her on some form of card!!!

It was very much a case of grab some papers from my stroke only pile, grab a Blueprints set with a bow die on it so I can play along with the challenge over at Papertake Weekly which is Bow Dies and just splodge it all on!! yey!!!! super fun!!

I coloured her up last week with my promarkers and a touch of sparkle, she's just adorable. You can just about make out some of the sparkle on her wings, flower in her hair and dress on this picture below, I am not sure I will ever master the showing of the sparkliness when taking bloggy pictures!!!

I added a whole tonne of little punched flowers too...I told you I was in a splodge it all on kinda mood!!! but to be honest the Dienamics Blue prints 3 set makes such a beautiful base and I really loved adding some teensy blooms to it for her to hide in!

Right, after being blurgh poorly yesterday my tummy is rumbling away for some lunch today so I am off to feed it!! Thank you so much for popping in on me

So pop on over to the challenge blog and drool over the rest of the girls creations, I am warning you that you may need a tissue before you go!!! the tags are just awesome and I will totally be bookmarking that one for inspiration!!!

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!!
