Angelina’s Balloons
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?

NutCracker
I’m still having fun using the Graph’It markers, it is unbelievable just how vibrant they are, I don’t have a full set but what I do have is wonderful, I have the rest on my wish list. They are available at Polka Doodles at a very good price.
My card today is with the Drummer Nutcracker Soldier from Just Inklined
I used the reds from the Passion set :- Coral, Tomato and Ruby and also a little bit of Plum on the shading.
Blues from the Everest set :- Sky, Celestial and Lapis
Black, Cool Grey 7, 5 and 2
Yellow from the Sunny set :- Citrine, Banana and Mimosa
Skin :- Nude and Peach
Other news for me this weekend is that I picked up my new bike, love that it has front suspension, no wrist pain after a long ride, I did 15 miles today to try it out and I was very impressed.

Bewitched–Graph’It and Metallic Pan Pastels
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.
Colours used
Green - Pistachio, Lime and Tuscany
Orange - Apricot, Mango and Halloween
Skin – Cotton, Powder, Skin and princess Rose for the blush
Purple- Orchid, Amethyst and Lavender
Yellow – Citrine, Banana and mimosa
Grey Cat – Cool Greys 3, 5, 7

Domestic Goddess
I’ve been very busy behind scenes lately making loads and loads of samples for our next launch at La Pashe. So yesterday I became a domestic Goddess and here is my results.
It has been ages sice i did this sort of thing because quite frankly it just doesn’t go hand in hand with being good and choosing the healthy options in food, especially if like me guissy pig comes to mind.
I know you are counting them knowing that one is missing.
It was fun getting to this stage, I may even confess that some icing just fell into my mouth.
Some icing swirls.
And some cheating wafer daisies
Yum yum do you think?
Now before I let you go thinking that one of the cakes is buried deep inside my tummy, here is the reason and it isn’t Grandson Jack.
As you can see from the one in front of the decorated cupcakes I didn’t eat any because…..
They’re FAKE they are props for my next launch.
