Piper and I had a busy weekend.
Our friends M&H returned from a suuuuper long honeymoon and I wanted to give them a welcome treat that they would NEVER forget!
There has been some brainstorming. Some planning. Some creative rhyming. Some shopping, and a huge amount of sneaky conspiring!
It was so much fun to set up this surprise. Take a look…
I’m sure it was fun to find, but it was also very fun to set up. Piper and I were in giggles all day!
We got so many laughs when we were walking down the street with this…piper kept pointing up and saying ‘cloud!’. CUTE!!

Hey guys! WelCOmE to AnoTHeR MANdaY MonDaY!! whoop whoop!
Todays card was one i made for my brother Russell. I chose to use some stamps to create a graphic style card, and i LOVE it!
I mixed some newer products such as the washi tape and bakers twine with some older pieces in the stash such as the gaffer tape and the chipboard hand. I find this is a great way to inspire you to use up all those unloved older supplies that have been gathering dust for way too long now.
See that metal disc? Its a big flat brad from Trimcraft from waaaay back- i just punched a hole with my trusty crop-a-dile. Awesomeness! I love the way that metal embellishment give a more masculine feel to a card.
It’s taken a while for me to post this but lets give Russell a belated birthday shout out anyways : Happy Birthday Bro!!

See you again soon.

No matter if I’m deep in concentration peering at my pc, or if we are on a conference call, or making tea in the kitchens, every so often Lisa will say “Lesley! I have a baby in my belly!!!”. To which of course i smile, give a mini squeal and say ” i Know, how awesome is THAT!?”.
Even though I went through this transformation only recently, it still blows me away.
So as the weeks passed by and L&N started making more public announcements about the growing bump, I wanted to make a congrats card for them, and OH BOY was i determined to have the words ‘baby in your belly’ on there.
It was a little, teeny, weeny bit of a mission, but I’m so chuffed it worked. I hunted through my stash and found some stamps to use. The word ‘baby’ was easy, ‘belly’ is mixture between BabY and hELLo. But it was all worth it.
This was my first real play with the spring distress inks, did i tell you how much i love that yellow! yummmmmm. its the perfect colour of happiness. I can’t wait to play some more with these ink pads. x
Congratulations L&N. love you and can’t wait to meet my new little ‘niece/ nephew’. xx
