I'm back! a squidge later than I thought as there was a little hiccup between the consultant and the radiographer but all sorted now and the fluid in my wrist has a surgery date a looming!! de de demmmmmmmmmmmmm !! lol!!!

So I just had to share my DTDF DT make with you all! this  Petunia gets a piggy back stamp is just too cute and I have to admit to it being one of those stalk the posty moments until it arrived!!! and as for the  Avery Elle Wonky Stitches....well...they might just be my fav companion at the minute! I love the little effect they give around the edges and that tag is just too cute!!

Here is a little bling shot too! I so suck at getting photo's of the pretties on her skirt!!

Right, I am going to go and mildy de- stress now and try and stay awake for fetching Mo.! I am not sure I function well on the one hour of sleep after the nightshift thing!! lol. I have had 2 coffee's since I got home and now resemble the squirrel in Hoodwinked...


Snow Day...

Image- Snow Day.

Hi everyone!! I have 2 posts for today and I am starting with a bit of a wintery make! I just had to make a little shaker card using  Snow Day. I keep seeing gorgeous shaker cards pop up and I have to be honest...I suck at them!! i get all my sprinkles stuck to them and get the shaker bit all wrong so for this one I out my best concentrating hat on and made myself a shaker circle by cutting out 6 circles of card with my nestie circles!!!! go meee!!!

Then a few sprinkles , sequins and bits and bobs got plomped into the little share a la Lou and I stuck another piece of acetate over the top so I could make it into a little window that you could see my little cutie through!!

And don't forget.....

 Mo's HOT Summer Sale!!.

So it's the perfect time to get adding to your wishlist!!

Papers- MME Bramble Rose.
Afternoon all!!!

well i couldn't resist a play with this uber cute $1 Birdhouse image from Tiddly Inks. Its been sitting on my desk for 2 days all printed out and ready to be played with and it just tweeted at me to go for it today!!

It took me a while to get the card done though as I was chatting to my gorgeous budette Becky and she inspired me to go for a walk so me and my 2 pawsers went and had some fresh air before I put the card base together! it is such a beautiful day today though and I enjoyed every minute of fresh air.

I really do adore this cute little card!!! the little sentiment comes in the download too and I love the whimsical script on it. Right, I need a cuppa!! I am just starting to flag after an early start to the day with Mo and need a bit of a pick me up!

Thank you for popping in, Huge hugs Lou xx

Yo Yo Dapper Dan!!

Stamp- Dapper Dan.
Morning all!! 

The summer holidays is coming up soon ( oh boy , I am so on countdown! can't wait to get my hands on some mamma and me time with the squidger!!) and every year Scott and I get together some little bits to put in the mail for Mo for surprises! ( the postman is still kinda exciting to him and in the holidays its all mamma and daddy mail....yeah..its mostly icky bills but to him we still get mail and he doesn't!!) so this is my first Mo Mail make for this holiday!!

He absolutely loves yo yo's! we have tonnes in our house but each new one is exciting and I wanted to make him a special one as I had picked up a couple of plain wooden yo yo's on my travels to keep in reserve!!

Now..for the confession...this is actually Mo's stamp!! lol!! when he saw it he decided it looked just like him so he NEEDED it (...proud mamma moment, I have taught my prodigy well bwah ha ha ha ha!!!) I cut 2 little circles of letraset paper out and stamped just Dapper Dan's head on them. I coloured them both up the same and glued them onto the yo yo then gave it a good old spray with some spray varnish ( I wrapped the string round and covered the centre strip with masking tape before spraying away).

I can't wait to pop it in a little box and get it in the mail for him! roll on holidays!! 2 weeks to go and counting!!

Right, time for a cuppa and a good old womble in blog land!!

Huge hugs for you all Lou xx

Tiddly Inks #challenge 161- Anything Goes (with a Tiddly Inks image/stamp).

sentiment- Love you mostest.
Morning everyone!
I am in with my first post of the day and it is of course, a Tiddly Tuesday one!!! so its time for a fun new challenge over on the Tiddly Inks challenge blog and new images...and a $1 digi! whoot whoot!!! we LOVE tuesdays!!!!!

 so the next challenge is...

Anything Goes!

Grab your favourite Tiddly Inks stamp or digital image and set your Tiddly thang free!!!
(**remember...We love to see any new creation, a card, 3D project, journal page etc 
but you must use a Tiddly Inks stamp or image to be eligible for the prize**)

I didn't have any difficulty choosing my stamp to use today.I love this stamp so much, its so happy and cheery and makes me just want to grab each day as it comes! a little bit of die cut shape layering with my Blueprints dies and it was done! I absolutely love these dies for popping a card together, they make it so easy!!

So Mo's DR appointment went good again. He really does have the best Dr! we fired a bazillion questions at her as Mo needs a little bit of medication for his ADHD to help him at school but his autism causes a few problems for her with finding the right one so it was so tough.

I have to be honest and say the decision to help Mo with medication terrifies me but his Dr is soooo supportive and is only popping him on the very lowest dose and any sign of side effects and she says to take him off it right away....I love her!!!

Right, time to go! I'll be back in a couple of hours with another post so I'll see you then!! pop me a comment in if you want a little Lou visit today!

Lil Hockey Guy..........

Image- Lil Hockey Guy.
or... in Rubber stamp form- Hockey Player.
Papers- Bo Bunny Double Dot from my Bo Bunny offer box.
Hockey Puck border from Silhouette store.

I had a ridiculous amount of fun with this make using  Lil Hockey Guy.

And here's a video of how he works. I made the sentiment up myself..totally my humour..sorry peeps!! and printed it out for the slider part!! I won't waffle on at you all because all the links you need are ^ up there and here's a lil video to show you the rest!!!!


We are at clinic seeing Mo's consultant this morning with a view to trying some medication for his ADHD. They are worried about how he will go with it due his his massive levels of anxiety but we are going to try it to see if it helps the little guy at all. I am happy to admit I am terrified but my little guy comes first so I need to mamma up and stop worrying so. His consultant is so wonderful I know she would ot do anything that will not work for Mo.

Wryn the BBQ Queen..........

Image- Wryn the BBQ Queen from Tiddly Inks.
Papers- Nitwits All Fired Up.
Afternoon Peeps!

Well I woke up to 2 yummy new Tiddly Inks releases to play with today!! what a lovely surprise!! You gotta love Tiddly Tuesday!! .....I also woke up to a little man who "doesn't feel too tippy top" poor little dude. He has been a bit funny since the weekend saying he feels fuzzy and to top it off he got stung on the shoulder by a bee last night and it is sore bless him :( 

So I've been swinging between cheering up little not too tippy top dude and playing with the uber cute new Wryn the BBQ Queen .

I just knew she would be perfect for my anniversary card for august for Scott. He adores a BBQ and we often have a little disposable one for a little treat for the 3 of us for tea in the summer.

I made the little sentiment in word and then die cut it, its so cute!

Right, back to nursey mamma duties! huge hugs for you all and thank you for popping in

DieNamics Blueprints 24.
Papers- Bildmalarna An ocean with strawberries.
Hi everyone!!

I'm back with another Lawn Fawn So Jelly stamp set make again! these little sets are not only a fabulous price but a ridiculous amount of fun to play with!!

I used one of my MME coastal card blanks for this one and then some papers that are just so prefect for casual under the sea-ness, Bildmalarna An ocean with strawberries.

I also just had to get in using my DieNamics Blueprints 24  set...... again!! but it just makes rectangle cards soooo easy to make up and the little confetti dies that come in the set are just perfect for splodging around your card. Did you know that there are some sketches for you to use with the Blueprints sets too? you can find them all HERE.

Thank you for popping in, hugs Lou xxx
