Stamp- Wedding Couple from LOTV.

Hiyah Peeps!

Well today was a funny old day! wonderful day with Mo and he loved catching up with his little buddies outside and had his hair trimmed (...well..when i say trimmed I mean more that he let Cheryl 'tickle' the ends with her scissors!! see he is on a mission to grow it long!) but he did have his fringe cut and Cheryl thinned it out with her 'magic' scissors so he isn't too hot. And I got to work on this pretty teapot for a friend who is going to a wedding soon. 

And then my mum rang to say my Dad had been rushed to the hospital from the Dr's surgery as he had had a heart attack. He is ok now. The bloods they took are showing the enzymes and the ECG for heart attack so he has been admitted for a couple of days and is waiting for an angiogram to see what damage there is and what they need to do regarding treatment. So I am hugely thankful tonight that he is ok and I have had some truly wonderful messages on my facebook that have made me feel very uplifted. I am always a happy bunny anyway but some love is always most appreciated when you have had a bit of a shock.

So tonight I got on with trying to keep busy and finished off my little teapot. I seriously needed the fun that this gave me tonight. The cutfile is just amazing. Its from SVG cuts and I linked it up there under the top piccy. I wanted to add a little something special for the couple getting married though so inside the lid I stuck my little stamp....

 he he he! too cute right?!! and when you pull it all out you can see the little pennants I made with the scraps of patterned paper I had left.

 Here's the little teapot lid bit all on its own...

 and here's the little couple a little closer in. You can just about make out the bling and shine.

I added a little lace to the bottom of the teapot and lid and then die cut some rolled daisies, butterflies and magnolia heart swirl branches to decorate the lid.

Right then, I am off to bed! I need to put today to bed!! thank you for popping in on me

Morning everyone!!

I hope you are all waking up to a wonderful wednesday. I am! I feel sore from yesterday's dentists torture but its the school holidays and I am loving soaking up some Mo time. 

Todays share is one of the new Tiddly Inks images that were released yesterday, Poppy-licious. 

On the day I coloured this little cutie up it was Autism Day so for my little Mo I coloured her up in blue and I love how she came out. All I needed to do was add some yummy papers and a little ribbon and bow. I glued a little heart onto the top of the bow just to finish it off.

I hope you all have a great day

Hi everyone!! I am back!!!

Now, I am so pleased I can type this and not talk it as I have just got back from the dentists after having a filling and I am all numb! I had to have 2 syringes of anesthetic into my gum as it was a wisdom tooth at the back and was real sensitive so there will be some straw drinking and no eating for a while in this house! Mo however thinks it is hilarious and is giggling at me everytime I try to answer him!!

So on an uber happy note there are new spring girls in the shop!! I am so excited because they are just sooo gorgeous. I am going to share one make today and another on friday and if I can squeeze in a little crafty time today there might even be all 3!! so here they are...

Did you like the way I linked all those little piccies in for ya?!! just the be helpful....!!!!

But seriously...How cute are they?!!! I love them!! so I got all girly and pretty with this card.

I am popping my little springy girl make in the Spring has Sprung challenge over on the Papertake Weekly challenge blog.

wow...its so hard to drink a cup of tea and swallow it when half your lips and half your tongue is numb...... 

Thank you for popping back in

So I decided to make a matchbox accordion album. This kind of thing is a bit new to me but I still had the Prima Free Spirit papers sat on my table in front of me from another make so I decided to get on the task!! the little sentiments sheet was screaming use me so I snipped it up and popped one on each part of the album.

A little bit of love.......

Papers- Prima Princess.

Dies- Die Namics Layered Heart.

Hi everyone!

I am late posting my make today because we have just had the most awesome day watching Mo at his school play. We were super lucky as we got to go twice! Mo felt he needed us there and lets be honest..who wouldn't want to see that cutie do his thing twice?!!! he was so brave and he sat so beautifully waiting for his part which was quite near the end! he kept telling us over the past few weeks while they have been practicing ..

" I can't get up early mummy, I am the surprise person who is losted"

So cute!! all the children did so very well, there will be a lot of proud mummy's and daddy's tonight and I can't even begin to tell you how hard Mo's teacher and her TA have worked on the play, they are amazing.

When we first sat down in the audience all the children kept coming upto me in little batches to say thank you for their chocolate treats I made. It made me feel like a million dollars...but I think I turned crimson in my cheeks too!! lol!! Mo saved me with a snuggle!!

I made this card with Pocket Valentine from the magazine is called Complete Cardmaking Magazine and it was issue 47. It may still be available as a back issue HERE if you look but I am not sure.

A bit of yummy paper (..oh my..this paper is soooooo yummy!!!!) and a couple of flowers were all she needed, she is just so sweet in herself!!

Thank you for peeking

Yarghhh!! piratey chocklits!!!

Box- Skull Topper box from Samantha Walker.

Chocklits...made by me! 

Morning peeps!!

well yesterday my day was full of making chocklits and little boxes for them to go in for Mo's class at school.

They are doing their school play today, Pirates of the Curry bean, and they have all been working so hard on it I wanted to make them all a fun little something to celebrate.

I got the little box from the silhouette store, its a no glue one so it was a case of cut 20 and then pop them altogether.

Then it was onto the chocolate! oooooh that was the fun bit!! I needed 90 little pirate themed chocoloates so my little pirate ice cube tray from Mutiny bay at Alton Towers came in super handy!!! (...I actually made more then 90 but some may of fallen foul to quality control..........)

Right, I had better get my butt into gear. We are watching Mo's play twice today! in the morning and this evening. I have conned him into the evening performance by telling him its not really that late because the clocks went forward!! lol!!

Thank you for popping in
