Birthday Cake

Have you shopped Bits and Bobs at Dr. Digi's House of Stamps?  If not, you need to check out what's available such as this fun Birthday Cake served up in Dr. Digi's House of Stamps' humorous fashion.  Rather looks like a cake I'm famous for making!

Tea and Sympathy from Tea Trolley Dolly

Every now and then life seems to interfere with the smooth running of our day to day activities. At this point we all need a Tea Trolley Dolly, she'll dispense that golden goodness and things will look a little brighter. Throw in a sticky bun as well and you'll definitely be able to see the light at the end of the tunnel. If, heaven forfend, you are not a tea drinker, I'm sure Dolly will have some coffee stashed away somewhere.

You can find Tea Trolley Dolly HERE and also the individual tea mugs HERE.

Star Trekin'

Sometimes there is a certain film or tv series that really captures the imagination.  This can become an all consuming passion in which the hooked partake in realistic fully costumed renditions of favourite scenes.  Svetlana is no exception.  Here we manage to capture a glimpse of her just prior to transporting herself to such an event.

Her front room (or 'parlour' as she pronounces it in her heavy LiLithuanian accent) is quite the shrine to the popular interstellar travel series that is Star Trek, circa 1968 - The Original Series.  Complete with glittery floor covering (a DIY attempt to recreate the Starship Enterprise) and a blow-up globe, Svetlana feels right at home.

Svetlana Queen of Uranus can be transported to your own hard drive for the token gesture of two English Pounds.  Her occassional side table is also available for 50p, and if you too desire the Bloomin' 70's wallpaper, this can also grace your creations for £1 - be sure to check the multi buy discounts though on the papers!

Knitting Champion

Knitty Nora, who once was the Knitting Champion of Kendal in 1953, is still very active in knitting circles and regularly donates all her finished items to a refuge for abandoned animals.  These sad and neglected animals find great comfort in Nora's misshapen knits and her weird and wonderful colour combinations are most welcome to the chameleons.

So here is a snapshop of Nora in action, proudly displaying the Champion of Kendal 1953 trophy.

You too can have your very own Knitty Nora (with or without sparkly pink fluffly slippers) as she is available to buy right now.  And to finish the scene, the trophy and coffee table have been added.

Shade Embarrassed

I treated myself to a Filofax after Christmas (my local Staples was closing down and the half price sale was too good to miss) with the intention of adding Birthday's, Anniversaries and addresses to it.

After 3 months I have got as far as addresses.  So you can now see why I love this lamp digi.  And you will too at 50p!

I've already used one of the cards.  And you'd think it would be easier for me to get the Filofax prepared in advance.  Nope.  Too much like being organised!  Plus I can then spend the time I would have lost in actually doing some neat writing on thinking up witty captions.

Make it Monday Paint Can

  The recent Dr Digi sponsored challenge over at Make it Monday produced some fantastic cards.

one which really caught our eye was this imaginative card using Paint Can from our Bits & Bobs

section.  Meihsia  did a marvellously colourful card and we love it.

Flirtin' With Furniture...

Oh snap! I did it again. As serious as I may try to be, there's just something so fun about these terrific images at Dr. Digi's House of Stamps, you can't contain the comical outbursts.   Here is a very clean and simple card using the wonderful Armchair image from the Bits n' Bobs section at the Dr.'s Store and a little flirty love note written on my PC.

I think it makes a very fun and flirty masculine card for Valentine's Day. What say ye?

Thanks so much for your visit and ya'll have a great one!

Hugs n' Happy Stamping...

You Turn Me On...

I'm sort of moving a bit fast forward on the holidays here, but thought a change of pace from making Christmas cards would be nice, so we're visiting another favorite holiday of mine, Valentine's Day.  For those of us who enjoy making cards for our main squeezes, but find it difficult to make it 'masculine', I'm hoping this offers you some worthy inspiration.  It's a bit grungy with a hint of flirty fun.

This card would not have been possible were it not for the cool little section over at Dr. Digi's House of Stamps, titled Bits n' Bobs.  Dr. Digi himself has offered up a collection of singular 'prop' images to use however your creativity sees fit.  The image I selected is none other than the Lamp, which I have paper pieced the lampshades.

To see how frustration aided in the making of this card and catch a peek at the matching gift box, hop on over to my blog, You Made Me Ink! and check it out. But first....stop in and say hi to Dr. Digi and peruse the amazing images available to you!

Hugs n' Happy Stamping,
