Good morning everyone!!! its Lou here today!!

Its my turn to share a make over on the Saturated Canary challenge blog today and today I have a little set I made yesterday.

I tucked some teeny little flowers from my stash in with them too. The sentiment is LOTV.

Hiyah everyone!! its Lou here today with a make for you to peeky at!!

I used the super sweet new Vampire Pumpkin to make a little wall hanging for my little guy. He LOVES halloween and it had to be for him as he tried to steal the coloured image twice before I even got it made into anything! cheeky monkey!!!

I coloured him up using my promarkers and tried to get his skin looking all vampirey. It does actualy sparkle but I don't think the camera picked that up, hey ho! he still looks cute!!!

Little sisters and Sandcastles with Creative Team Lou.....

 Image- Little sisters and sandcastles from Saturated Canary.

Hiyah everyone!!

Its Lou to post again today because our gorgeous Alby is off playing at CHA!! and I was in a summery mood this morning (....which is quite good as I was at work last night and haven't slept yet because its the school holidays and I have 2 gorgeous little peeps to play with!!!) 

So, after painting boo's nails and adding a little gem here and there ( ..pink on toes and blue on fingers!!!) and doing a smiley face on Mo's middle finger with 2 gems for eyes and a smile drawn in, I was deserted for skateboard practice outside. I sat in my crafty room and did a squidge of coloring while they played. Its so lovely to be able to do that. I coloured up the fabulous Little sisters and sandcastles image. Oh how I love this image! it so reminds me of the 2 children I used to be a nanny for! they go to lanzarote every year and they love the beach and I have a few pictures of them playing away in the sand! 

And oh my!! how about these awesome papers?!!! aren't they just gorgeous!!! I adore them! Mo as already stolen half the pile I printed out for ' Making stuffs'!!!!! 

Once I had finished trying to use as many of those gorgeous patterns as I could on my card I got to finishing off my image. I wanted it to look all distressed and like an old canvas photo so I dabbed some crackle accents all over it. I cannot get it to show up in the photo which is soooooo annoying but here is my best effort at playing to get it to show....

Right then, espresso is calling me big time so I am off to stoke up my Tassimo and sort that out....my head is starting to nod and I need to stay awake for the fresh fish man to deliver my fish! ( I LOVE fish and eat tonnes of it! so a £20 selection pack is just right!! yummo!! hope I don't eat it all tonight!! he he he he!!)
Please pop over to my blog if you need any more deets on the papers and stuff!!

Thank you for popping in!

Creative Team Lou and Violet Vintage...

Image- Violet Vintage.

Hello everyone!!

its my turn to post a bit of something here today and I saw a challenge I just had to have a go at yesterday!! some of my gorgeous friends are on the Creative Romance challenge blog DT and their challenge this time is No Designer papers.

Omg major gulp and leap out of my comfort zone but their creations got me so inspired I just had to pull up my slightly bigger then they were when I weighed a stone more 6 weeks ago big girl pants and hop outta that comfort zone!!!!

So I rummaged around my cardstock and found some embossed card, plonked it in the prinetr, spoke to Violet Vintage and asked her to print nicely, spoke to card and asked it even nicelier not to bleed when I coloured and spoke to texty stamp and asked it to stamp nicely on embossed card!!!! and wohooooo! it all came together!!!!! and even more amazingly for me I managed No Dp's and CAS all at the same time! go me!!!

I decided Violet needed some cool glasses to go with her dress and cool chick kinda look so after I had coloured up her eyes I added a little lavender promarker and some glossy accents.To stamp the text over her I used my frisket to mask off her legs and handbag and I really do love how that came out!

So if I can give you one bit of crafty fun today it is to step out of your comfort zone!! huge thank you's to the Creative Romance teamies for inspiring me to go for it!

Thank you for popping in to peek! hugs Lou xxx

Hi peeps!! its Creative Team member Lou here today with a little Parade make! she is just so adorable who could resist?!!!

I coloured her up with my promarkers. If you are a promarkers colourer here is a list of colours, this colour palette is my favourite and most used!!!! I love browns,blues and pinks!!

Hair- flex markers antique white,champagne,nutmeg and aubourn.

Skin- blush, sunkissed pink and coral.

Browns- sandstone,cocoa and burnt sienna.

Blues- pastel blue, denim blue and midnight blue.

Pinks- blush, sunkissed pink and coral.

Turtle greens- pear green,olive green and holly.

I love the summery feel to the papers too, the little patterned clouds are so adorable. Some one once asked me what I am thinking when I make my cards so I thought I would answer that over here because I am sure its how a zillion of you make your cards too.

I am always thinking happy when I create. I always try to imagine someone smiling and happy when they open it, I just love happy! so many of us can get sucked into negativity and its so easy to find yourself there too so just think happy!!!

Thank you for popping in on us today!
