I want no puns that this will be me in a few years time but I did however feel myself drawn to this image because of the bicycle.
Mummu’s Bike from Mo’s Digital Pencil
I took distressing to the max using blending techniques with Pan Pastels, embossing, tearing, rolling, fraying etc…
I know what you are thinking, that could be my backside and yes after the Christmas snacking I have to get right back on my bike to work it off again ha ha!
I used Copics and Chalks to colour the image, papers from the Good life Scrapbook pad some gems, Pan Pastels, embossing folder from Crafters Companion amongst other bits and pieces.
Next up is Gretha and she will have something pretty amazing to show you.

I don’t know what happened, I made my last card on 26th December, I had previously coloured the image days before, I started the mammoth task of tidying my craft room and everything just left me, it’s still not complete, I just couldn't face crafting, I felt down in the mouth and damn well lost.
Not knowing what to do on an evening, bored with television but just could not face getting any craft out, not even wanting to colour which I adore doing.
I contemplated just giving up, I felt quite depressed at the thought of messing the house up again as no matter how I try, it over spills into all of the rooms, Chris kept encouraging me to get my pens out but I just couldn’t face it.
Over the last 3 or 4 days I felt utterly depressed, deep, deep sighs, wanting to go to bed constantly tired.
Last night I forced myself to stay up later and get out my pens, I sat in the near darkness and started to colour, one image finished, move onto the next, move onto the third one, before I new it I had 3 images coloured, I put all of the pens away again cleared the table and looked at what I had achieved.
I’m hoping today to move onto the next stage of turning them into cards. Baby steps is needed here.
Thank you all my crafty friends for sticking with me and popping in to see if I have created anything to show you all.
This is the colourings I did last night.
Wish me luck in making cards today xxx

This is Ragged Martha from Mo’s Digital Pencil
Isn’t she gorgeous?

My Mam always feed the birds this time of year, mind you she does all year round, but she says we should make an extra effort in winter.
On Monday evening we are going along with Husband Chris to see him being awarded a medal for his long service in the Fire Brigade. It should be a very special evening with the family and I have a new posh frock to attend in.
I couldn’t be more proud of my man, I will try to nab some photographs of the evening and his medal to let you all see it.
Another clean and simple card for me using this gorgeous little chap.

As a child I remember rubbing a balloon on my hair to make the balloon static and sticking it on walls, on someone's back or anywhere that I could get it to stick. Of course my children did it too and in fact their Dad (Chris) still does it, I don’t think he will ever grow up ha ha!
Angelina’s Balloons from Mo’s Digital Pencil
I made an easel card with the image as I really didn’t know where I was going with it, I first punched out the heart on the card with the image and tied a bow around the top, knowing that it needed something else I matted it with blue card and then it sat there on my desk for a little while, I often do this, mainly because once I start colouring I get so carried away that I end up colouring several images up. So this was the one I played with a little until I was happy.
I coloured her in Blue, did you know that way way back Pink was a boys colour and Blue a girls?
I had a play with the metallic Pan Pastels, such intense colour, I had such amazing results using a Versafine ink pad and the copper Pan Pastels that I thought I would share it with you.
The fun of trying new products is in the experimenting don’t you think?
I used Tabitha by Mo’s Digital Pencil for my image as she is such a peach with her little kitty in hand.
I used a shimmer deep purple card and edged it with the versafine ink pad and a swirl stamp then dabbed on the metallic Copper Pan Pastel, the colour was rich and intense.
I used a cheap hairspray to set the Pastel.
Tabitha was coloured with the Graph’ It Markers available at Polka Doodles , again intense vibrant colour that makes your images pop.
