Cupcake Break

Hellio :)

 Today I am sharing a card I made using the delicious Cupcake Stamp from DoveArt Studios for Making Cards Magazine. There was a  little rumbling at the time, as you could only get this stamp from The States. Uh-oh. Happy News UK Peeps. You can now get your mitts on DoveArt Studios Stamps at My Mum's Craft Shop. Just sayin'!

Spuddling!

Morning All :)

Of course, that's working on the assumption that the world has not ended and someone is reading this!

Sometimes when I colour up an image, I play around with it and make a couple of cards, without actually sticking down the image down properly. Which is why you might recognise this girly from 3 December. No, I didn't colour her twice, exactly the same. Although maybe I should have, as now I have two cards, one with an image and one without. Doh!

Smoochtastic!

Hello. Spontaneous, impromptu Fluffie here :)

It's a miserable, damp afternoon out there... The kind of afternoon that has me running for The Flufferie, biscuit (multiple) in one hand (long gone now) and mug of tea, in the other. Sweet Cheeks permitting, of course. Having persuaded The Cheeks to make a mahoosive tower out of Lego, we both got to playing. 

I enjoyed making this one, it's been a while since I had my pencils out. And it didn't take too long to make either. Brilliant, as there is one month until Christmas Eve. Well, for you normal Peeps there is. I still have, like months and months in FayeWorld...

 I'm pretty excited as Kitty has started stocking Paper Smooches over at My Mum's Craft Shop. Yippee! Mine arrived yesterday and I've been itching to get at them (yep, that's plural). So it's just as well it's a bit of damp squib today really. 

You know what else I like to do when it's yuck outside? Shopping. Online specifically. I can do it without venturing out. And... Not that I'm trying to encourage you in any way. (Ahem!) There's currently free shipping in The UK, (halved for Worldwide.) on any order, (minimum spend £5.) placed online at My Mum's Craft Shop, before midnight on 25 November. No codes. No messing. Just shopping. Happy Days.

Blue and Green should never be seen...

Ha! I laugh in the face of blue and green not being seen, as this is one of my favourite colour combos...

Morning Bods :)

You may have noticed I've been trying out some Inky stuff recently. Mainly because I've been having a bit of a crisis of confidence about my colouring, but let's not go there as I'm just beginning to bury that one. (I'd like to thank you all for your sweet comments about my colouring btw... thank you, it's so kind and means so much. But whooooaaa! Let's pull it back in!) But also because that minx, Kitty over at My Mum's Craft Shop has started stocking a whole load of Inky, Stampy, Stencily Stuff. Naturally, someone needs to try these things out.

I'm happy to report, getting messy is a lot of fun, and you can lose yourself dipping, spraying, splatting, drying, layering, sanding, stamping, stencilling...

A bird on the flourish...

is worth two in the bush?!

Hello Lovelies :)

Now, if you've been paying attention, you'll know, you've seen this layout from me before. But, I thought it lent itself well to a bit of flourish action. The flourish is completely vintage, we're talking at least 2009 here. And it's from a Christmas set. Yep, I've been looking at my Christmas stuff. Only looking mind! Christmas is ages away...

Mojo is still in the pub. As they say on tv, what's on the board, Miss Ford:

Mojo and Colouring - 2
Fluffie and No Stamping Creations - 3.5
Pending Mojo and Colouring Projects - 2
Pending Fluffie and No Stamping Creations - 2
Outstanding August DT Commitments requiring Mojo and Colouring Assistance - 3

Right, I think I'll take the rest of the day off!

Hellio Fluffers :)

Just as well I have that Lawyer (Thanks Sunshine) on a Retainer...

It has been mentioned to me, several times this week actually, (I cannot reveal the source, because then I'll need to take the Lawyer out of Retainer Mode and put into Use Mode.) that I drive around corners too fast. The words Stomach, G-Force and Sick have been mentioned. I can't see what the problem is... what are seat belts for, if not to not clamp you to the seat when you go around a bend at about 45 miles per hour, in fourth gear?

Apparently, I'm to imagine that all passengers are drinking a nice cup of tea, (can't be true if things are that bad. Surely alcoholic beverages would be more suitable?) and I'm to drive so that no one spills any. Hmmmm. I have a cunning plan... I'm gonna get one of those thermal drink beaker thingies that sit neatly in the pop out cup holder. Job done. That leaves both hands free for the phone, stereo and waving at people.

Tweet!

Morning Fluffers :)

Ok, I know, technically, owls don't tweet, but it's early and I couldn't think of a suitable hoot pun...

As you know, I'm a fan of having stash in the house that allows me to produce a card very quickly. Dedicated Birthday Diaries only work if you remember to look in them!

This owl is perfecto for creating a card for five minutes ago, yesterday. In fact, it took me longer to choose which papers to use and put together than it did to use them and put them together. I'd like to make a dinky felt owl with this die. I'll have to look in the Birthday Diary and see who's coming up...

Morning Fluffers :)

One day, back in spring (you know, that season where the sun comes out a little bit, but it still rains a lot?) Sweet Cheeks and I came across some frogs (maybe toads) doing what frogs (maybe toads) do best in the woods in spring. (Frogs (maybe toads) not bears, People!) Sweet Cheeks was a bit mystified about what they were up to. So, responsible mother that I am, I broached the subject of 'nature' and explained that the frog (maybe toad) on top was tired and the frog (maybe toad) underneath, was being kind and giving him, or her, (who am I to judge?) a piggyback.

There. Job done. No need for that awkward conversation in ten years or so now, I've got it all covered. Sit back and enjoy Tricksy Push All of Mummy's Buttons Threes.

So, with this delicate subject. In. The. Bag. You'll be able to imagine my reaction, when, whilst manoeuvering several tonnes of motorised vehicle at (un-specified) high speed down the A52, Sweet Cheeks said to me...

'Mummy, have you got a baby in your tummy?'

Nursery have a lot to answer for...

And, erm, maybe I need to allow more of my daily calorie intake for my night time foraging expeditions. Hmm.

I'm flying...

Morning Peeps!

I am, yet again, flying through today. We're just about to go and let the man who is going to fit our carpet, in. It's the last job over at the new house. Of course, once he's finished, I'll have to bite the bullet and finally start packing. Ten days is loads of time....
