Tiddly Inks Challenge #178...Scrap it!

Image- Awareness.

Morning everyone!!

Its that Tiddly time of the week again, over on the Tiddly Inks challenge blog, when the Tiddly Inkers roll out a new challenge and this week we have a super fun one to get your creative juices flowing!! its...

Scrap It!!

so...make a scrapbook page/journal page/project life/

mini album/mixed media canvas using your tiddly inks images.

(**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 **)

I can't help but scrap my little guy and with him having ASD, ADHD and his De Novo gain on his chromosome 10 gene and autism awareness month coming up here in the UK, I wanted to do one all about how awesome he is. He even wrote on the little jigsaw piece for me bless him.

Here's that cute lil guy's writing for his mamma!! ......

That delicious paper behind him was a freebie from Tiddly Inks a long time ago and is not available anymore but I LOVE it!  and being able to merge that little Awareness .png onto it makes it so much fun to colour.

I had finished my layout until we went for a wonderful walk around Rutland Water on sunday and then I had to squeeze in 2 more piccies !! he he!! well, that's what scrapping is all about for me! adding fun memories to the page!!

Right, time to go! my iron is calling me!!!!!

Morning peeps!

I hope you are all waking up to fabulous fridays? I love fridays because Scott works long hours mon-thurs and we get a bit of friday time together while Mo is at school.

And of course, its fab friday over on the Tiddly Inks challenge blog!! 

So my make was for my friends mum who broke both her ankles on holiday last week :( oh my :( both :( Luckily she is making a nice recovery now she is home but I wanted to just make her something to cheer her up while she was in hospital and Wryn New Wings  did just the job perfectly.

Well, that's it from me for today! we are hopefully going to finish off making the breakfast bar in the kitchen today. So excited because its going to look so lovely. The sun shines into our kitchen in a morning so sitting there with a cup of tea after the school run will be so lovely.

Thank you so much for popping in, Hugs Lou xxxx

Anyway, here's the inside of this cute little shutter card...

Bag Tutorial- Qbee's Quest.

Morning everyone!

I'm in with a super cute make this morning using Daddy's Girl UK. She was just what I needed for a card I had been tasked to make for my friend's daughter!. It went...she is going to be 21, she likes handbags, yellow, pigs and she loves rugby. 

So, I of course, headed straight for one of my oldest (from 2011!!!) but still favourite tutorials from Brenda over on her blog Qbee's Quest. This card has been magic to me since I found it all those years ago, you can seriously have so much fun with it and I will be eternally grateful to Brenda for this tutorial as long as I am making stuffs!!! 

And this is how it opens....

So the bag when its all done up is below.. The little pig is from Mama Elephant's Lunar Animals set.

...and of course, a little close up of her inside! she's just gorgeous.I coloured her up with the Harlequins Rugby Team colours as Ellie is a huge rugby fan and rugby player.

I made the little rugby goal posts from cake pop sticks and added her name to the top of them on a little banner.

I absolutely love this little card. I feel so blessed to of been able to work with such a gorgeous image and make such a personal little birthday card. That's where the magic is peeps!!

Today I have a date with a huge pile of ironing! Oh yes, I know how to rock my mondays! but in all honesty, I do adore ironing! there is something about the warm smell and watching the creases disappear that is so relaxing.

Hi everyone! 

Well, while the new Mama Elephant release and restocks are snuggled in customs for their 3rd week (...see..look how I tried to make it sound all cute and positive there?.... rather than OMG seriously customs just let 'em go..) I thought I would have a play with my...Mo's Lunar Animal set for easter ( ...in my defense this make is for Mo so I have redeemed myself for pinching his stamp set right?!!!).

I recycled a little clear box I had saved from christmas (..sigh..yes, I am always saving stuffs like this!!!) adhered a little design paper to the back inside and filled it with little mini mini chocloate eggs from B&M (.....there might not be many left in the packet................).

Then a little bit of fun with die cutting and it was done! its so cute I wannna squish it (...yes, and maybe steal all the lil eggs too...).

Thank you for popping in, hugs Lou xxx
