Back to basics

Hi everyone, just a note to remind you that me shows for La Pashe are tomorrow, I'm at Peterborough now sitting and relaxing before tomorrow.
I have a post set for the morning with peeks of what I will be demoing and times and links. I also have a freebie which will come in handy for those that buy the fabulous new decoupage sheets, so be sure to come back and pick it up. Ohh you might want to tape the shows too for some ideas.

If you remember I had my nails done a little while back and to be honest I was less than pleased with the result, I ended up having the false tips removed and having gel nails added to cover up the dreadful mess, my nails are still recovering so I have had them cut back as short as possible and had a product called CND Shellac over the top of them to make them look presentable.
So today a did a little bidding and won a starter kit of the product.

Life in the Old Dog–Lazy Mutt

Aren’t these fabulous? Lazy Mutt by Mo’s Digital Pencil I think any animal lover would love these.

I saw a card by Jane which had two of these on and fell in love with it so I knew I’d be giving them a whirl. If you are new to colouring and want something easy to colour then this is the set for you, the card was made very quickly in between my prepping for shows.

I just love the simplicity of it. Coloured with Copic markers.

Lazt Mutt 3

Lazy Mutt 2

Lazy Mutt 1

You get all 3 in a set for the bargain price of $5 thats around £3.25 in theUK

Do You Like Butter?

Can you remember holding a Buttercup under your chin to see if you like butter? we used to do that as children, if it shone yellow under your chin you liked butter haha! crazy huh!

This gorgeous little cutey is Baby Fairy Buttercup from Mo’s Digital Pencil 

Coloured with Copic markers and prisma pencils

The backing papers were from my stash, one is a DCWV and the other a K&Co, Some Prima blossoms and the most sumptuous silk ribbon from Ribbon Carousel.

For those that asked yesterday, no I didn’t have any ice-cream, I was good.

I Scream!

How on earth can a girl try to make the right choices in healthy eating when her two favourite boys are doing this?

I have been really sensible for the last two weeks and Chris is trying too, but he does keep caving in and needing something sweet, today my Mam called in and she mentioned that she couldn’t stay as she had Ice-cream in the car, of course Jack wanted one and so did Chris.

I give in.

Some Christmas Sentiment Word Art Freebies

A little Word Art–Freebies

I had an email the other day from a lovely lady asking about round sentiments, I have to be honest when saying it’s not something I think about very often, one reason being that it isn’t very often I add a sentiment and the other being that if I want one I just go ahead and make one, Sometimes we forget that what comes as the normal for one person isn’t or doesn’t come natural to the other.

So here is three that you can use, please follow my terms of use do not share and send people to here if anyone asks you for them.

Quite a Strop

Talk to the Bear by Mo’s Digital Pencil is quite the madam but adorable none the less

I kept this one Clean and Simple (CAS) as it has been a while since I did that.

Papers are old ones from my stash but I think they were a papermania one.

Ribbon is vintage seam binding from Ribbon Carousel, lace and a few pearls from mei Flower 

First Day at School

Such a big thing in a little child's life isn’t it? Out of the safety net that has led them through their life so far, i think it must be really daunting as well as exciting, I remember how tired my two were when they got home, full of chatter of what they had done that day. I also remember feeling quite lost without them and the constant check of time awaiting to go an pick them up from school.

First Day at School by Sassy Cheryl’s you’ll need to be quick to get him as he is in the bargain bin poor soul.

Coloured with Copic and Promarkers and a little bit of prisma pencils

The tape ribbon is from Ribbon Carousel I love it.

Dirty girl

Uh oh will my desk ever be tidy

New Images

Just Inklined has some new images this week and I think Over the Moon would make a brilliant Congratulations card for a graduate, something totally different that the young ones would love.

New from Just Inklined VIEW SLIDE SHOW DOWNLOAD ALL

Cat and the Fiddle for a young musician, and any of the Hick Dick Dock to mark a special time for someone, what a great way to bring a smile to someone you love.

Hick Dick Dock, Cat and the Fiddle, Over the Moon and Hick Dick Dock Shock

Sailor Boys

Don’t you just love it when colouring and all the colours just fit right, well this one did for me.

I sat and enjoyed the relaxation of colouring without having to rush it.

Sailor Boys by Mo’s Digital pencil I think Mo did an amazing job with this set.

Coloured with Copic markers and prisma pencils. paper from my stash, Prima blossom and ribbon from Ribbon Carousel.

I wanted the card to have a vintage look to it so kept the colours muted, I think I managed it.

This is the full set available from Mo’s digital Pencil

Fake Steak Bake - Slimming World Style

Once again I'm trying to be good and make the right choices in my eating, I won't be using the big D word as it sends me into a frenzy before I start.
I am trying to cut back on bread, not an easy task when it comes to lunch for work but last week I made pastryless quiche and this week I've made fake steak bakes for both myself and Chris.

Asda wholemeal pittas, tin of Aldi Hunters steak, mushrooms, onions.

Open pittas and stuff with the above place on a baking tray brush top with egg bake until golden viola a much healthier option.

Flexmarker Tutorial–Blending

I often get asked what colours I use in my colouring but to be honest I never know, I don’t really have a logic colour scheme as I just test on a piece of scrap card and if I like the blend I use them.

So one of you lovely ladies asked what colours I used for the Hydrangea I new I was going to have to do another to find out, so, it would be logic to do a tutorial video while I was colouring so here it is.

So before you click play, go and grab a cuppa and a slice of cake and sit back down to watch.

Letraset Limited Edition Winner

Oh my word I hope you can forgive me, this should have been drawn on Friday but as it was my Mams birthday all of my focus was on her.
