Pop up box card Tutorial HERE.

Good morning peeps!!

How are you all this fine friday?!! I totally adore friday's because Scott is off on a friday and its even better today because its half term so we are all together. We are going to take a lovely walk with the dog before heading out for the day.

So how cute is Skater Girl Wryn?!! oh my gosh too cute right?!!!!!! I absolutely love her!! and I had to have another go at these awesome pop up box cards. They are just my cup of tea, layers and dimension always makes for a totally fun and cute card.

I popped the tutorial up there with the links but I fiddled with it a bit for this one because I wanted a square box, so this one the little layers are 3x3 with a finished size of 6x6. I have made 3 of these uber fab boxes now!!

I added some die cuts and little punched flowers and edge punched the edges of the box too.

Here's a little closer shot of her in her scene!! I am going to pop her over on the  Layers challenge on the Papertake weekly blog as this is such a fun way to add layers to your crafty makes!

Right, time for me to get a cuppa and have a little blogster womble!!

Hope your day is just 'Beachy' !!!

Morning peeps of the world!!

So have you all woken up to a tremendous thursday?! I know we have!! we had oodles of mummy and Mo time yesterday which I just adore. I super love the school holidays for that and now Mo no longer worries about going back to school the holidays are just bliss. We enjoyed a wonderful walk in the sunshine with Poppy and Mo even took some time to sit and finish all his homework while I sat by him drinking tea and having a good old colour.

My card reflects my mood from super happy times. I am so lucky to have a tonne of sunshine in my life! Seriously, Swimmer is just to uber cute!!!! 

Here is the 'bit flashed out but hey the bling on the sunglasses shows' shot!!! romfl!!! they were just too cute not to get a closer peek on!! he he he he!!

I am popping her over in the Lovely Layers challenge over on the Papertake Weekly blog. ya'll know I love my layers!!!

and I can't resist a little piccy of my little guy and the Furball Princess for you all...

He always puts her lead around him like a belt (we have a double ended lead that attaches in 2 places on her harness) so that he knows she is safe and can't pull the lead out of his hand with any sudden movements. I LOVE how sensible he is like that. He has a seriously major bond with her, he doesn't really do people but the dog, oh my, he would do anything for her!! and I totally love how loose her lead always is when she is walking, see that lovely hanging bit with the bend in? she is just such a gentle girl. I love that she kept looking up to him and he kept smiling at her but could I get a good picture of that??!!!....errrr...Nope!! Anywhoo, I loved this piccy so had to share it!!

Right, got to go! cuppa's to be made and snuggling to be done!!

Huge hugs for you all, thank you for popping in on me

Morning peeps!

I hope you are all feeling loved this morning. I am, I got a rolo from Mo and Scott made me a beautiful card ( he has hallmark studio!!) and we have a day of family snuggles planned. We don't do gifts for valentines day as our little bubble of family life is love enough. People have been horrified in the past when I told them Scott and I don't do the whole gift thing! but we just don't need that kind of stuff and we love each other every single day so cards full of loving words are all we do!!

So onto my make for today!! I used the gorgeous new 'Birthday Balloons' from Saturated Canary. She is just so sweet. She has some sparkle around her but as usual dopey Lou struggled to get a picture of that!

I stitched around all the holes in my nestie and then tied a lil bow in the top where the 2 ends of my thread met each other!! the floaty ends of the coton are stuck down with some glue.

Right, I had better get my self into gear really! a day of snuggleage needs preparation in the way of walking the furball princess and hoovering!! he he he he!!

Huge squishy hugs for you all, thank you for popping in,

Hiyah peeps!!

I am flying in kinda late tonight with a tiddly make!! 

I had so much fun making this special card! its so funny because this was was a made for someone card and the lady I made it for was worried she was being a pain with all the bits she wanted me to include. 

The special lady it is for is an accountant...so I used my numbers sheet of paper from the Simple stories Smarty pants 6x6 pad.

She loves cottages...a la magnolia cottage!! and please could I pop text behind the cottage ( she had seen my other cottage card stamped on a book page) She is a very special mum...find a gorgeous poem on internet at verses4cards, print and stamp cottage over top, colour up with my promarkers.... et voila!! 

The daughter and her mum used to visit Tiggywinkles ( a hedgie rescue home) and she liked the fence I used on my magnolia card last week! I added a few punched flowers onto the fence and popped it out, then I cut out my hedgies from tiddly inks being sooo careful that I didn't snip too much off because I knew I wanted one behind the fence and one in front of the fence.

Go me! it turned out so cute I almost kept it hidden but Norris would of set Mooch on a mission to lick me to death so i thought I best send it!!! but I really do so love this card a zillion! there's a really lovely feeling that comes with getting everything someone needs into one little 5x5 card that makes me feel like a bit of a card hero!! :)

And before I go I must just share my little guys tiddly make for this week. He used his My Boys clear stamp set. I am soooo proud of him because he is really getting into the 2 shades for shadows and trying to get strands of hair in the hair, its so lovely and special to craft with him because he always knows what he wants to do! I think he can use my dies/ paper cutter as well as I can!!

(yeah...that's pen on his nose....!!)

and here's a few of him making it.....

( because his mamma is a photo clicking so proud of him kinda mamma!!)

awwwwww!!

and if I can squeeeeeeeeeeeze just a teensy bit more proud mamma in, this is what my little guy came home with today....

it has pride of place on our fridge!

Right, that's a whole tonne of Lou waffle for you tonight!! I am off for a quick cuppa before i head to bed and wohoooooooo! its half term so we can just veg out tomorrow!!

Thank you for popping on me!

Morning peeps!!

I am feeling the flower power this morning!! I just love this image, she is just magical. I spent last night playing away because little Mo has shared his cold with me and I needed to cheer myself up!!

I coloured her up with my promarkers and added a little bling to her here and there, (hopefully it shows up better in the picture below!) and then it was time to add some flower power! I die cut a couple of big juicy ones and then filled the rest of the space with some teeny punched ones, they look so cute scattered all over.

Isn't she just so gorgeous? I coloured her dress using the not put a lot of colour on thingy and I love how it turned out.

Right, I am off to remove all traces of dried snot from around my nose, try and sort out the super baggy black bags under my eyes and wrap up warm for the school run...then I am going to tuck myself up and try and get better!!! it doesn't help that its sucky girly time of the month too so i feel like I've been squished by a bus!!!

Have a super duper day all!
