Blunder Woman (pre coloured)

 I think we all have a determined older lady in our lives, I think I am becoming that determined older lady in my life! Blunder Woman is my hero and she can still rock the outfit. She tells things to you straight, and gets on with stuff, protector of the nice ones in life, scathing of the nasty ( possibly a little too scathing I have been told)!

You can find Blunder Woman HERE, the fab new BLAM papers HERE and the sentiment is from the Birthday Sentiment sheet HERE, Have a good weekend

Skater Stanley

The kids are in school

The skate parks are full

With Grandads out on their boards

A cut on the lip

The odd broken hip

Skating has its rewards!!!!

Stanley is out getting his daily exercise, he can do a caballarial with the best of them (no I have no idea what that means either, I just googled skateboarding terms)

You can find Skater Stanley HERE, hope you have a lovely weekend, I expect my Poet Laureate award in the post

Trevor the Troll

This may well be how some of you felt on New Year's Day after a bit too much celebrating. I felt perfectly fine because I fell asleep in my really comfy armchair at just gone 8pm, briefly roused at around midnight when the fireworks went off then up properly at 7am to get ready for work! 

You can find Trevor the Troll HERE, perfect for the grumpier people in your lives!! Hope you all have a good weekend

Nightcap Derek

I have to say that Nightcap Derek is one of my favourite images, not least because this is the third time I've used him this year. However it was my Dad's 76th birthday yesterday and I thought this was perfect, he's fond of a nap or several and his present was the very exciting pair of slippers!

You can find Nightcap Derek HERE and the sentiment comes from Funny Sentiments Sheet 2 which can be found HERE. If you could send get well wishes to Dr Digi this week, we'd be grateful, he had a frontal lobotomy procedure this week and I think Mrs Digi is seriously regretting leaving him with a bell in the bedroom whilst he undertakes a couple of days bed rest.

Hope you all have a good weekend

Mr Hoppy and his Chopper

There's been a lot of talk this week about Back to the Future 1,2 and 3 (they should have stopped at 1), however Mr Hoppy is taking us back to the past, my childhood to be exact. I loved my space hopper and could do the Rubik's cube in record time (once my cousin sent me the solution!). I wasn't allowed a Chopper as it was a boy's bike and we actually had a Commodore 64 (best game was Manic Minor) but I eventually got my Sony Walkman! 

If you want to go back to the past then you can find Mr Hoppy HERE or Chopper HERE, also check out the fantastic cassette papers ( C30 C60 C90 GO) HERE.

Hope you have a good weekend

Sugar Plump Fairy

In days gone by Deirdery was a ballerina extraordinaire, dancing with the likes of Barishnickersov, Nearenuff and Wayne Sleet. However time has passed and poor old Deirdery, like many of us, is not quite as svelte as she once was however every now and then she puts on her tutu (or should that be a threethree these days) and dances away the stresses of the day.

You can find the Sugar Plump Fairy HERE, also check out the other new images this fortnight, actually don't check them out unless you want nightmares bwahahahaha!

Have a good weekend, I will be baking cakes tomorrow for the refreshment stand at The Wags and Wellies Sponsored Walk at the Society For Abandoned Animals in Stretford this Sunday

Sofa So good.

Morning - blimey It's Sunday again already and here is my latest creation using Dr Digi image called Sofa So Good.

I love this image - so many times I've come home to find our dog in this exact position on the sofa... although he's not quite this big to take up the whole chair! I know my Dad will appreciate this card as the dog has always got the best seat in the house, to the extent that when I was a kid I got the floor if the dog had already claimed his spot on the Sofa!! Spoilt creature! It certainly is a dogs life in our houses...

Anyway - we won't talk about rugby today... the win last night did little to redeem them! Question is who should I know support??

If you would like to know exactly what I used to make this card - pop over to my blog.
Enjoy the rest of your Sunday and I'll be back next week.

Brünnhilde

It's my Mum's birthday this weekend (74 years young) so I thought I'd have someone sing those birthday wishes, who better than Brünnhilde, her voice packs a punch!

You can find Brünnhilde HERE, hope you have a wonderful weekend

Toolshed Ted

Ted has been carefully tending his seedlings, they are aloe plants and he is planning on finding the secret of eternal youth, although he possibly needs to get a move on! He has needed his wellies this summer but still hopes he might be able to break out his flip flops if a rumoured September heatwave comes to pass (something to do with if America gives a weather system a big enough shove to get it across the Atlantic).

You can find Toolshed Ted HERE and the most fantastic Seedlings papers HERE (second only to the biscuits paper in my humble opinion). Hope you all have a good weekend.

Nightcap Derek

I think we all have these types of mornings, I know I do! Had a day out with a lot of walking yesterday so I wasn't particularly keen on doing either this morning. You can find Nightcap Derek HERE.

Hope you all have a good weekend, think it s supposed to pour down here, what a shame, all the more time for colouring and crafting!

Ambrose King of The Waves

Well today here in Manchester you need your wellies and your waterwings, just to go outside and only the bravest of souls would get in their cars and drive to our nearest beach! Ambrose has taken a break from his search of the deep seas to  build a sandcastle and have a 99. Fridays on our road are known as Kenny days as that's the day most of the kids get their ice cream fix from Kenny the ice cream man, there are those who make the claim that every day should be a Kenny day but the parents are winning the war- so far!

You can find Ambrose King of The Waves HERE and you can find the pre coloured sandcastle HERE. Have a look at the wonderful waves, you can find them HERE, the latest set of fab Dr Digi background papers New Wave. Hope you all have a great weekend

Big Archie Butterthwaite

Meet Big Archie Butterthwaite, as you can see both Archie and his dog Butterball have not been shy when it comes to pies and pasties! However who's to say that this week the papers might not announce that pies and pasties are good for you after all, preventing the catastrophic inconvenience of an ingrowing toenail or the pain of a boil on the bum!

You can find Archie HERE and the sentiment comes from Funny Sentiment Sheet 2, to be found HERE. Hope you all have a good weekend

It's Time For Tea

I have a cup of tea by my side as I type this,! Sadly we have no biscuits; as chief shopper in this house I only have myself to blame. This card features one of my favourites, the good old Jammie Dodger, I don't eat Rich Tea as they don't have good dunking qualities, nothing worse than losing half a biscuit to the bottom of your mug of tea!

You can find all these images plus the sentiment on Tea Time Sentiment Sheet 01 and my new favourite set of papers, Tea and Bickies, can be found HERE.

Hope you all have a good weekend, we have our annual summer fair at the Society for Abandoned Animals this Sunday, I am manning the barbecue so have fingers and toes crossed for no rain!

Mycroft

Well, who could blame Mycroft, after all it has been rather warm this week and I am sure he was only trying to cool down! My five cats (yes I know Crazy Cat Lady status achieved) have been chasing the shade round the garden and the youngest two can't even be bothered to object to each others existence anymore!

If you want to add the delightful Mycroft to your collection then he is HERE. Hope you all have a lovely weekend and find some time to enjoy the weather wherever you are.

Walkies

A few of us older UK residents may remember a 'wonderful' Sunday afternoon TV programme ( I think it was back when we had just the three channels, very deprived we were) featuring a certain lady called Barbara Woodhouse. A dog trainer, I don't know about dog trainer but she scared the living daylights out of me! The word 'Walkies' was drilled into my brain back then so much that when I hear the word I shudder. However Dr Digi has started to reverse that effect on me with this wonderful image featuring Daisy Bumblethorpe being walked by her dog. I am currently looking after my Mum and Dad's dog, he's getting on a bit now, but he still bounds in a geriatric fashion to the door when I come in, tongue lolling.

You can find Walkies HERE, and these fabulous backing papers called Polos HERE, the base layer of the card reminds me of my parents wallpaper back in the day when I was being scared by Barbara W! Hope you all have a good weekend, a bank holiday here.

LIGHT LUNCH

Another fantastic image to work with today it is called Light Lunch and he is  having  a whopping  feast. His poor little workers are looking exhausted carrying that suckling pig and just look at all those dishes to be washed up!!

LIGHT LUNCH from Dr. Digi's House of Stamps

You will find this image along with lots of other fabulous images HERE

More details on this card can be found over on myblog.

Grumpy Monkey

Well he shouldn't be grumpy because it's Friday and the weekend but we all have that curmudgeonly person in our lives! Grumpy Monkey is just in need of some bananas or even better some banana cake, then he'd be a happy monkey swinging through the trees! Maybe he will get that on his birthday!

You can find Grumpy Monkey HERE, one of Dr D's £1 bargains, and the most excellent sentiment HERE, have a good weekend, eat as much banana cake or any other cake as you can!

Green Fingers and Thumbs

It's the time of year to start coaxing those seedlings  and giving them ideas of what they shall become, in this case a large marrow or a very fat cucumber! We used to have marrow a fair bit as a kid, but I never see it these days, mind you I don't go anywhere near allotments so that might be why! I'll have to ask the person I gave this card to! For a 50th I would usually go mad on the sarcasm on the front of the card but being the nice best friend I am, I couldn't do that. Nope........ I saved all the sarcasm and rudeness for the inside of the card!

You can find Green Fingers and Thumbs HERE, hope you all have a good weekend

Biffo The Clown (pre coloured)

It's the weekend in just a few hours, you'd think Biffo would look a little more cheerful, although Biffo has been around for a few years now and the prospect of children's parties full of noise and e numbers does not fill him with great enthusiasm, he'd rather be down the pub with a pint watching the football!

You can find the cheerful Biffo (Colour) HERE, his black and white counterpart HERE and the top part of the sentiment HERE

Cake and Candles - I love the Cake!

Gosh - Its Sunday again and this week has flown by but I loved seeing the BRAND NEW images on in the shop.

I love this new image - called Cake and Candles. It is so versatile and an absolute essential image that can be used again and again. And the beauty of all Digi images you colour it or paper piece it to match any of your stash. (And I know you all hoard crafty like I do!)

Don't forget to post your creations on the Pinterest board - I love seeing what you create.
If you want to see more details and the Recipe for my card have a look HERE on my blog.
All for now - Till next week,
Lilibet (:(|)x
