#108 TOTALLY PAPERCRAFTS - MALE CARD

I know I know.....I have been gone ages - please forgive me - work and my life were getting in the way...back now - not left you......
While I have been away it was my birthday and Bex's 18th along with lots of other things....can't believe she leaves home this year for Uni - she wants to study law - touchwood she gets the grades....
Today as it's Friday - thank goodness - is another challenge over at Totally Papercrafts - and this week was my turn to choose - I chose "Male Card" - simple or what...
My card is using a fab Mo Manning image - love it - so my nephew....

 Coloured in with Copics and added some gloss - but no glitter....can you believe it..................

So come on check out Totally Papercrafts for this weeks fab sponsor prize and join in with me and my fabby teamies.
Enjoy your weekend - and Happy Mothers Day on Sunday to you all - relax and craft all day...
See you soon - and thanks for popping by - really appreciate it.

Gin Jaffa Cakes

These little beauties are home made Jaffa cakes but with Gin in the jelly...

The base is 2 eggs, 50 g caster sugar, 50g plain flour...add the eggs and sugar and beat for about 4 minutes over simmering water - or until pale and fluffy - add the flour until combined.

I then added only a small amount to bun cases - and cooked for 8 mins at 180 - take out of cases asap when come out of the oven - do not over cook them - think I did..well that's what my testers said...next time..............

Then make the jelly. Line a tin with greaseproof paper. Make an orange jelly with 65ml boiling water - when dissolved and nearly cool - top up to 125ml with gin or anything else you fancy. Pour onto the paper and leave to set in the fridge.
Once set cut out circles - the perfect size for me was to use a champagne flute.

Turn over your bun bases

And top with the Gin Jelly

Top with melted chocolate....hey presto......

Enjoy.....Entered this at Sassys - Show me Thursday.....Don't eat them all Cheryl!!
