Trotsky Home Alone!

Good morning hope you are enjoying  the bank holiday weekend.

Today's card is for Dr Digi House of Stamps is Trotsky He is alone in the house, and feeling very pleased with himself!  Trotsky has just dug up a bone he buried three months ago and now it smells delicious!!!

The sentiment is from Funny sentiment sheet 02 the Armchair and  Lamp I have paper pieced.

You will find him along with lots of other fabulous image HERE more details on this card can be found over on myblog. 

Retirement

Here are a few of the finest Dr Digi images to furnish a retirement scene - coffee table, armchair (with drapery removed) and lamp.  Plus little references to the recipient.

The cd stacks and Ipod docking thing are my own creations.  Bit of a strange juxtaposition when you think about it!

I Love Tea

Ah, perfect cuppa tea.  Ambrose Dunderton assumes the typical Sunday slouch on his favourite armchair and matching pouffe.   The lamp stands on a rug, donated by the generous Mrs C from just down the road.

And what garishly randomly striped wallpaper would not be complete without the three flying ducks.  Ambrose's homage to the irresistable Hilda Ogden (of whom he spends many a happy hour daydreaming about in his comfy armchair).

Feet Up and a Cuppa and Lamp digi's available to purchase from Doctor Digi this very instant!

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.

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,
