Well, I did say in an earlier post that I had to draw this weeks freebie straight onto the computer (as I'm house sitting dogs) and I have no scanner with me....and that it kept jumping about all over the place... so...this is what I ended up with! A Very Raggetty Teddy. He looks a bit like one of the dogs toys! Except, less holey and not so chewed! Thank you for stopping by.

Hello Crafty peoples! As you know I've been away, so I'm a little late with this card! I had it on timer but, it didn't go! Aggghhh! Over on Penny's Challenge a few weeks ago I was a winner with Niamh's Easter Picnic carton. And as a prize I was sent two digi's of my choice and a digi to use in one of their next challenges as a Guest DT member! Soooo here is my DT card using Eric and Erica from LeAnn's World 101
Because the digi was of two skaters, I decided to make a spinner card. Spinning-skating? Get it? Ok, here's more pictures! Above top is the front of the card. (Seeing it's meant to be displayed open) I used freebie die cuts from Magazines and also the skates were stamped and fusy cut and coloured with Promarkers. Inside the circle on the front is lilac vellum, which I embossed with lots of swirls depicting more 'skating' moves. I've also added gems and a little sparkle...
On the inside I typed out the sentements on the computer.... so the whole thing reads, 'I love.... Spinning Around With You!' and 'Have a Fantastic Day' (Font is called Curlz MT, just google the name to find a free download) There's plenty of room on the back of the card to add your sentiment and I think it could be given to a male or female and for any occasion especialy if they're skaters!

As you can see, this week my feet are firmly on the ground, not zip wire flying across the domes of Eden but, instead... I'm here. This is not my normal workbench. It's a glass table in the sunroom of where we are staying, looking after two dogs. I grabbed a few things and thought I'd stamp, colour and diecut crafty bits but not much has happened... yet, well not in a crafty way! The good news is, I can link up to Stamping Ground where the Queen of WOYWW abides but, on the not so good side, I'm having trouble connecting or commenting with other blogs and even my mailbox where I send my pictures to is being a little bit finicky. Anyway! Onwards!
"Woo's dat doing dat?"
"Don know... but I could choo dat big tyrer."
"Hmmm, me wanna go at dose orange ear protectors!"
"Wot they then?"
"Not Sure....could be big squirrel nuts."
"Tastie!"
Okay! Time to go. See you all next week in my real craft room! Happy WOYWW!? Thanks for stopping by! Stay Well.
I'm just buzzing!!!! Here's my Work Top for #WOYWW 681 this week Crafty People. No crafting but loads of crafty finds from our time away. So I missed last weeks WOYWW!? as we were away doing silly things in Cornwall celebrating John's Big 0 birthday, like dressing up in Hawaiian shirts and drinking cocktails, swimming and dunking in a bubbling hot tub! (Never been in one before and if you haven't you must give it a go...of course, getting out again can be a bit of a problem!) And!! We all did the zip wire! Not little Oliver, he was too small and not Big Pat...he was too big! Even Niamh, although she had to wear a weighted vest, zoomed down along side her dad Tom. (and no I didn't pee my pants but I did scream)
AAArgggggggggh! all the way down! Fantastic!
I also got tons of small dies from Crafty places from as little as 11p -13p one was even 3p! All the dies here were way below half price, even papers and lovely card and little journal books. So I had to get them! No more buying crafty stuff untill next year! (Oh...and the Harry Potter mug!)

Haven't joined in with T stands for Tuesday for a while as we've been away or had four legged furballs staying over, but I have been saving up some pictures... It was hubby's birthday so we nipped off down to Cornwall for a long weekend with the rest of our family and stayed in a lovely place, with plenty of room for us all. There was even a hot tub on the roof! I forgot to take pictures but someone did! Above, we're all dressed in Hawaiian shirts, mixing up drinks... below, the next day, me with daughter Emma, getting ready on the zip wire at Eden! (Yes, I screamed all the way! I'm so scared of heights! Video on Wednesday)
Then the waiters brought out some extra treats!
We did have starters and main courses, but I forgot to take pictures! The next day, they all went home and we drove down to Polperro (walked down to the village) and then visited a few places during the week. This 'Rook with a Book' was in Fowey.
Then visits to a ruined castle and some standing stones and of course, loads of craft shops!
Yay, at last the BIG 0 Birthday has arrived....we're not here so this is on timer. Hopefully. If I did yesterday what I was supposed to do yesterday and didn't pee my pants or turn grey over night, there might be pictures later!
Anyway...here's the birthday card, I'm not sure what it's called. I thought I read it was a fun fold gate card....but it isn't a gate card, is it. No. I think, what 'appened was... I started watching one youtube tutorial - nipped to the loo- came back and unbeknown to me, another tutorial had started! It's coggs again...I like using coggs. I'm not loving this card. I loved last years card and the year befores...and even the year before that and waaay back to 2014... There's something...missing...

| Closed and lying flat |
I did start making this card a while back in purple (it looks blue but it's purple) using 180gsm card from Hobby Craft, lovely colour but it was too flimsy, so I chose CenturaPearl, 310gsm Snow White with a hint of Gold from Crafters Companion, nice. I added all the toppers and bits but the card was still a bit 'bendy' so I hunted out the purple card I'd already cut out and scored and added that to the back too. There's room to write something and look! There's that missing cogg again! I must be going blind! It's been hanging there all this time! That's it for now, I'll try and add challences when I get back! Keep on crafting, catch up later! Thank you for stopping by!

It's Jinxie's birthday today. He's 16 and he adopted us when he was about four. He'd come and go and then finally he stayed and has been with us ever since.
 |
| Jinx in his little house, snoozing |
I asked everyone if they knew where he lived and everyone pointed back to my house! We'd go for long walks around the village hoping (and not hoping) to find who his owners were.
 |
| Snoozing on my craft chair |
It must have been about two or three years later when, we were being followed by a slow moving car, that turned around several times... creeping along....following us. Men In Black-thinking Jinx was in disguise and was really the evil Martion doomed to take over the World by using his yellow green eyes to hypnotize us all into committing hari-kari or worse strangle ourselves with long pieces of spaghetti. But no. Thankfully, nothing like that!

| Loves sleeping on our bed! |
"Oh yes, I thought your cat looked a lot like him...he was always going off. I have his mum and sister at home." (Just round the corner) "Jinx!" I called, "Me-yow?" said Jinx and came out.
 |
| Jinx, trying to get into the attic |
Jinx purred around my legs while me and the lady talked about him. She said, he was always going off, and was never like that will her, and if I wanted to come and collect his vet booklet and meet his mum and sister I could, so! He was then, from that day on, no longer the 'Lodger cat'
 |
| Jinx, having a 'sun attack' on the bridge |
My old craft room (bigger than this one) was made back into a bedroom (for when the grandkiddies came over) I'm sure Jinx thought we'd made it just for him!
Sorry about the pink cloggs...a dog chewed off the band and weirdly, I found that green one in a field the very next day!
