A little post from Me!! Tilda with a Bee!!

Stamp- Tilda with bee.

 Well! Hello little blogaverse of mine! 

It's been a long while since I've posted so I thought I bet swoosh away the cobwebs and tumbleweeds and post a card I made back in August!! 

Since August we have been busy with renovating our crafty garage into a little room for Little Mo to have a little more independence and continue to develop his skills of bravery!!!! (I say Little Mo but the truth is he is an 18 year old who towers above me now!!!!).

He is quite happily pootling doing his second year of his Level 3 in Animal Management and has a lovely little job in a local kennels as a kennel assistant which he thoroughly enjoys.

I am still pootling along making cards tough I haven't really been able to reach any of my stamps, dies, pens etc since we started the garage conversion because they are all tucked away safe for when Scott makes me a new crafty space upstairs in the house in Mo's old bedroom when he goes out to his new little room in the garage! 

Right, that's the pooter keys back in blag action and the dust blown away so I'll get back to assisting Scott with the new sliding doors we are putting in upstairs! I might be a little bit addicted to them but the space they give you back from open/close type doors in a smaller house like ours is phenomenal, our en suite feels soooo big now.....well......it would do if it wasn't full of my craft draws and boxes.....!!!

Huge hugs, Lou xxxx

LOTV Mans Best Friend...

 

Stamp- Man's Best Friend from LOTV.

( goldie oldie but still available in digital format HERE)

Papers- Cosmo Cricket Earth Love.

Dies- MFT Wonky Circles, MFT grassy Edge, Magnolia DooHickey Fence.

Morning all!

How are we all today? Good, I hope. 

We took Mo to college and I knew it was going to be a LOTV crafty kind of morning right away! I just felt it in my bones! he he!

And I decided to tackle that age-old Man card struggle too! it just had to be done! so out came my gorgeous golden oldie, Man's Best Friend stamp. I love this stamp so much, it's just so sweet,

I cut out my wonky circles die and then masked off the very bottom part before I stamped that cute little pair of snugglers so they were all 'even' in the frame with space around them. Then I popped the paper back into the die so I could distress ink my sky background in before I started to colour them up so that I had a lovely clean white edge around the circle.

A little splodge of distress ink colour and my cuties were done. I had some Earth love papers left over from another card so I decided to use them up on this make. I also couldn't resist a little die cut fence and grassy edge just to finish off the scene. 

Some makes just come together really quickly and in such a relaxing way. I really enjoyed making this one. I'm not really sure what I've got planned to do until I pick Mo up at 2pm today. We walked the dogs quickly because it looked like rain so a little bit of chilling out mummy time may be inserted into my day! At 4pm Mo has a quick 15min 1:1 at riding before watching to see if he thinks he might like to try joining a small group of riders for lessons from next week. He was absolutely terrified of the idea when we mentioned it but warmed up to it a little later so all we can do is try. ASD and anxiety can be such a cruel mix for him sometimes but we are so proud of him for at least watching to see what he thinks.

Right, time for me to go before I waffle on at y'all all day!!! Thank you for popping in, huge hugs Lou xxx

A little GDT for Mo's Digital Pencil challenges...

 

Images- 6 Baby Fairies (girls).

6 Baby Fairies (boys).

Papers- 6x6 Hideaway paper pad from Trimcraft.

Morning everyone!

How are you all today. I am so excited because I am doing a little GDT post for the challenge over on Mo's Digital Pencil challenge blog.

I just had to use those super sweet little 6 baby Fairies sets because it does just feel a bit magical that the world is trying to return to some normality and learn to live with all this COVID stuff happening. The thought of being able to fly to a friend and actually touch them one day again is just the best thought isn't it?! 

I kept my image nice and simple. I needed to horizontally flip one of my little fairy babies so that I could nudge them together in the merge to touch hands, eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep I LOVE it!!

Then a little bit of distress marker colouring and it was ready for some Lou froo.

The design papers are a golden oldie from Trimcraft but now and again we have to dip into our stroke only papers don't we?!!

Right, time for me to scoot! there is a cup of tea with my name on it!!

Huge hugs

Gorjuss Bumble Bee Girl...

 

Stamp- Bumble Bee Girl from Sugar Nellie.

Papers- My Dearest Sophia by Pion Design.

Morning all!

How are we all today? Mo has a riding lesson at 9am so I thought I'd nip into my blog before we leave.

Today's share is a make with a golden oldie (and sadly retired) Gorjuss Girl stamp from Sugar Nellie. I have a few of the old ones and have to say they are still my favourites. The quality of the stamps was just always so amazing from Sugar Nellie.

I coloured her up with my Distress Inks and added a little bling to her wings and tights...sooo hard to see in my poop Lou photography skills though!! lol!!

I also absolutely adore the Pion Desing papers from the My Dearest Sophia collection. The design on them is just so delicate and pretty. 

The little sentiment is a Taylored Expression one, along with the little tag die it is cut out with.

Right, must scoot and get myself ready for watching Mo. I have to admit I am still a little skittish after seeing him have his first fall a couple of weeks ago but he is a superstar. He got straight back on and hasn't once thought he wouldn't carry on.

Thank you for popping in, Huge hugs Lou xxxxxx
