Happy Birthday Jase!

Well, hello there and a Happy New Year to you all! 

Today, I have a card to share with you that I have made for my brother's birthday - he loves football and his favourite team is Man United.  The card took me two days to make in total, as I coloured the embossed football backgroung myself using my new Promarker pens that I got for Christmas!!  I came up with the idea of having a penny roller football on the bottom, so once Mam had cut the slot for me (mine was a bit wonky!) I attached 2 pennies with a circle of foam pad between so that it would roll along the slot...

...The picture is one from the Boys2Men CD-Rom and I coloured it with Promarkers.  Hope you like my creation and sorry for not posting very often, I hopefully will be back soon with something else to share.  Thanks for dropping by, it means a lot...Little Man X

Spooky Halloween card...

Good morning, bloggers!  Hope you enjoy my creation, it took two days to make!

I've made a spooky Halloween card using the Frankie digistamp from Ella's Design's A Year in Cards disc.  My Mum kindly let me use her Promarkers to colour it and I have put some on my wish list for Christmas!  As you can see, I added a bit of gliter on the cobweb, my spider was made out of a ladybird because we had no spiders, so I coloured the body with Black and made the legs out of peel offs.  I added some die cut bats, a ghost, skeleton and R.I.P. letters...

...On the inside, I have wrote BOO! out of die cut letters and covered the card with skull paper from Ella's Design Boys2Men CD, which I inked with Vintage Photo Distress Ink.  A circle cut using Spellbinders, which I have inked with Antique Linen gives you somewhere to write a message.  Thanks for dropping by to see me and I hope you like my card and next creations!  Little Man X

Dumper truck...

...Good evening, everyone!  I've done this picture by hand, using instructions from How to Draw Cars and Trucks...

...I coloured the drawing with my Crayola felt tip pens and used different yellows, browns and greys to give the truck some shading.  Thanks for dropping by and seeing my creation - hope you like it!  I'll be back with some more creations soon, Little Man X

Things to make you go mmmm....

Hi everyone and welcome to my first ever blog post!

I've been in the kitchen this morning, baking lemon drizzle cupcakes.  The recipe is from Gorgeous Cakes by Annie Bell and is meant to be a large tray bake, but I thought it would be nice to do them as cupcakes...

...the top is drizzled with a lemon and sugar mixture and lemon icing...

...they are REALLY tasty!  Hope you're not drooling too much!  I'll be back with some new creations soon, Little Man X
