Morning everyone!

It is with uber duber sad Lou face that I am blogging my last make for the Creative Romance challenge bog today. I have been so very, very honored to be on this team with the most amazing ladies, but Becky and Jen have taken that heartbreaking decision to finish the challenge blog after this last challenge.

I would like to take a squidge of time to thank the girls over there with all my heart for asking me to play along with them, I have loved it. So, onto the fun!!!

Our Final challenge is a nice open.....

Anything goes 

which will run for the whole month of December closing on the 2nd Jan 2015.

We are sponsored for our last challenge by Live and Love Crafts with a £10 Voucher.

I just had to use on of my so super cute new Fairy Christmas Fairies from Mo's Digital Pencil, oh my! this little trio are just adorable!! I chose the lil guy rollin' a huge snowball for this card but I felt guilty leaving the other 2 on my printed sheet !! he he he!!!

His hair is all sparkly, well, fairies are magical!!! I adore this card, it will be an uber toughy to let go off...wonder if I can send it to myself?!!! romfl!!!!

Right, off to play with little Mo and the pawsy troop! things are going so lovely with our little Dasher, our next job is building him up into a healthy little bundle like his gorgeous big sis, Furball princess Poppy. We are so proud of her, she has been just amazing with him. She is currently trying to teach him how to play with a ball, its so sweet, she keeps throwing it up for him and showing him how to catch it and then plopping it down in front of him to how him what to do!!! what a clever girl!!

Huge hugs for you all

Morning peeps!!

Ok so I am a bit excited today!! I am uber duber on love with the new sheep release from Tiddly Inks (personal fav is the Hope ewe get well one as I asked for that one for my mamma!!) They are just so much fun! I have 2 more on the boil for blogging when I get them finished but these 2 makes are good to go!!! I love .png files! they make it so easy to team up these baa-rilliant sheep with some of Christy's fabulous papers.

Now I have been brought up with my mum's sheep obsession...she has ornaments,slippers, tea towels, pictures, socks, teddies, hot water bottle, scarves...you name it she has a sheep on it so whenever I see sheep I think of her!!!!

On Mo's birthday she is going to sheffield for a huuuuuuge operation,the surgeon doing it in flying in from spain and has only done 2 of this operation before ..gulp....but he invented the method he is using so I am hopeful he knows what he is doing!!!!! I have seen the youtube video, its scary!! I will get mum to link me it and you can all euuwwwwww with me!!!!! 

Anywhoo, I made her this get well card......

Have a paw-fect christmas!!!

Papers- T Dawg Wordbook download.

Morning everyone!!

I have a super fun little make for you today. I made 10 of these little cards for my friend who is an absolute hero at our local RSPCA  branch. They are having a craft fair day on the 13th December so I am hoping to get a few more makes in!!

The papers in the T Dawg wordbook download are just so paw-fect for cute pet themed cards, I love them. I printed them out at half size so none of that cute bone detail was missed on the little stocking!

I think that the Kendrick Kat Wordbook is going to get the same use this week for some more with a kitty theme!! he he he!!

I would love to make a whole stack more of these as a thank you for my gorgeous little Dasher who we rescued from the local RSPCA kennels and we are picking him up today! I can't wait!!! roll on 2pm!!!!!!

I thought she looked sooo great too...then Mo came home from school..took one look at it and said...." Betty has a big red boobie mummy"....it was so matter of fact it was hilarious!! so here you have it, Betty merry and Bright with her big red boobie!!! lol!!

Its time for a couple of new challenges today so I sunk my teeth into both with an uber cute one make!! lol!!! I have had a hard tine getting back into the swing after my tummy bug last week so a no stress and fun make was just what I needed to perk me up!!

So, the challenges..!!

Over on the Tiddly Inks challenge blog we are having a Thanks/ Gratitude challenge 

Grab your favourite Tiddly Inks Fairy stamp or digital image and think Thanks!!

(**remember...We love to see any new creation, a card, 3D project, journal page etc

and...

over on the Passion for Promarkers challenge blog we are having a Blooming Marvellous challenge!!

So get out your Promarkers and go blooming crazy with flowers!! 

I decided to have a go at the lighter lines stamping again. Now, I will be honest, I kind of suck at it and need to practice some more (...ok...so like a lot more!!) but I do love that gentle effect that it gives so much.

I fussy cut around her and then popped her onto my card base with some foam so she stood out a bit!

Right, must dash, my tummy is rumbling louder than an earthquake!!!

Huge hugs for you all and Thank you so much for popping in on me

Morning everyone!

How did another monday fly in so quickly?? ok, I know! I can pretty much write off last week after being sick, I still feel rough and tired now but at least there's no icky feeling!! and we had a much needed family bubble weekend! Mo decided he is going to write a book too and made a start on that! love that little guy!!

Anyhow, its my turn to post over on the DTDF inspiration blog and I really had itchy use that silhouette and some lush papers feeling this week so I dug out some stunning papers from my bulk box buys and got to work.

I adore how this came out, I always forget how easy it is to use those 12x12 papers with my silhouette machine,it makes crafting sooooo much fun to slip out of card mode a little and use them for something neat and different.

I am going to fill the little cartons with travel mini's. Mo is going to choose them for his Aunty Lorraine and Uncle Stuart who are jetting off for chrimbles in the U.S.

Thank you for popping in on me,
