Valentine Moments for an anniversary...

Paper- Prima Princess.
coloured with promarkers.
Morning everyone!!!
oooh I thought that list of dies in the links up there was never going to end!! romfl!!!!! its a lot of fun with dies this card!

I had an anniversary card to make for my mum and dad so it was time to get my lovey dovey smoosh on!!!!

I was trying something new for me with this one, using lots of white. I keep drooling over my friend Nic's cards when she does it, they are just amazing so I thought I would have a go too!

The scalloped oval dies were just the right size to make a big rocker style card so rthats what I went for! i have never used them before so there was quite a bit of errrrrr, what shall I do with those before i got started but then after cutting the card base out therest of the card just rolled out! I love the way it layers up so beautifully with the white and just a splash of colour.

Then I added a few more die cuts and wohooo! it was done!!

Thank you for popping in

Digi layout fun....

Papers- Memories in Sepia from Funky Hand.
Afternoon peeps!
I am late popping in today with a couple of pages that I made digitally! I have a digi layout up above and also my digi project life page below.

I used the super gorgeous new Memories in Sepia download from Funky Hand to do them, its just gorgeous..

Memories In Sepiea downloadable backing papers
I do love to have a good old digital play around because it is so easy and satisfying. it is often way too easy to forget that you can use digital papers in this way and print them out for making cards with!!!

This set of papers was just perfect for the only holiday Scott and I have ever had along without little peeps or furry peeps!! we had 2 days in paris and it was wonderful, we did so much walking I thought my feet might drop off but I so enjoyed every single minute! 

Right, got to go, I need to slice some chicken for tea, stir fry tonight, yum!!

Poppy Pixie.....

Morning everyone!!

I thought I would share another super cute image from Christy Croll's new release in the Tiddly Inks shop this week! I am just so in love with them!!

I decided to go for a little 3D project again and make a little treat box with an easel card attached. I love a little bit of pop!

Here it is all opened up...
I added a little flower to the front of the draw and popped the twine through it to make a drawer pull. I can't wait to pop something in there for someone! its so sweet.

This is what it looks like closed. It refused to squish down without a finger prod for me to take a picture!! lol!!!

Right, I am off for a cuppa and quick clean up of my table before the school run!

Thank you for popping in

Little Fawn.....

Image- Little Fawn.
Morning everyone!!

I hope you are all well and having a wonderful week. I decided to colour up my gorgeous Little Fawn from Saturated Canary yesterday. I was a bit excited about her because she is just so whimsical, I love those little twiggy antlers.

I decided to go kinda mossy with her hair as I decided she was a child of nature!! she actually has a bit of sparkle....
Isn''t she just the cutest?! I made some dotty evening cloudy sky. I really like that! it was a bit of an experiment but I LOVE how it turned out.

So I can't be the only mamma who is missing their mini peep this week now school is back in action?!! I have been kind of wombling around the house (trying to restore order under the piles of half term toys left around...like  everywhere!!!!) but the sad truth is I just LOVE having holiday time with my little guy. He rocks my world! but do you know what the best thing is?! he actually wants to go back to school now! daft as it sounds that is just so amazingly special for a mummy who has had so many years of sobbing and desperation from him not to go at the old school. I feel like I am in an uber calm bubble with his schooling now he is so happy at the school he has been at since november,its just wonderful!!

Right, time to feed my furball princess! she is kinda staring at me from where she is sat next to me because she knows its breakfast time!!!

Morning everyone!!

I am so excited to share another one of the new releases from Christy over in the Tiddly Inks store, they are just the most awesome release!! can you tell I am totally taken by them?!!! they are just magical!!

I used some EXTREMELY stroke only papers for this one!! aren't they just beautiful?! and for a little bit of magical umpf I added some little beads to some of the flowers. It was fiddly but they look soooo pretty. I attached them with glossy accents and then splodged a little glossy accents over the top for good measure!!!

Sassitude.....

Coloured by Promarkers.

Happy Bank Holiday monday peeps!!!

I have been super practicing my CAS cards and I have this little cutie to share with you all today!!

Now if you are a lover of CAS the Die- Namics Blueprints range from MFT are just the best for helping you on your way to quick and easy CAS cards. The dies just do it all for you, I absolutely love them. All I needed to do was arm myself with a stamp, promarkers, yummy papers and glue and go for it!!

Sassitude is just adorable! I layered up her skirt by stamping it a couple of times on the papers I was using and then paper pieced her up. Her little sentiment is so cute too, she has a selection of sentiments but this one was Mo's pick! I love it when he helps me choose bits to use!!

We had a lovely easter day yesterday. Mo loved his little hunt from the easter bunny! this is the note the easter bunny left for him....
and here's some little bunny tails....
he he he he!!! Mo loved it!! and all the tails were found in no time, phew!!! great news for the little baby bunnies!!!

Right, got to go, family time and brekkie making is waiting for me!!!

Thank you for popping in

Mini rolled roses...they're not just for paper!!!

Felt- Red.
Ribbon- Green Polka Trim.
Hi everyone!!
I am just stepping in for our gorgeous Jane, who is poorly with a really sore back, sending huge but gentle hugs your way hunny xx, over on the DTDF inspiration blog today.

So I was in a play mood with my  Die- Namics  Mini rolled roses this morning. They are just gorgeous and with the red felt they make the cutest little roses. And the felt from the shop washes so well. I made my little Mo a pocket for his t-shirt last year and it has been worn and washed so many times and still looks fabulous!!

So I stole a few baby grows from my friend who has just had twins! he he he! and then got to playing. I cut my roses and then rolled them up and stitched them closed with some red sewing thread. Then I made some little bows with my Green Polka Trim and sewed each rose onto each bow.

Then I sewed one little bow and rose onto each little footsie on the babygrow. Awwwwwwwwwww so cute!! I love it! here's a little close up.....
Thank you for popping in!

Divas by Design challenge ..Bundle of joy...


I'm back peeps!!

Its time for a new challenge over on the Divas by design challenge blog and this week its a theme...

Bundle of Joy
so think babies and cuteness!!

I was so ready to chill out and colour last night, yesterday was tough on me!! lol!! Mo took a huge tumble down the stairs and hurt himself, leaving a big hole in the wall with his head....again.......and then he had to go have some big blood tests done at the hospital but he was so brave and the nurses were absolutely awesome. They could see he was worried and agitated as soon as he arrived so they used a freezing spray to get his bloods right away rather than pop magic cream on and make him worry for 45 mins while it numbed. They also said he must be double jointed like me because of the angle they had his arm held at so he couldn't see the process!!! lol!!! 

So a little bit of magnolia cuteness was very much the tonic..oh and catching up with GOT too!! lol!!

Have a fabulous day everyone
huge hugs Lou xx
