How to Clean Your House.....

HOW TO CLEAN THE HOUSE IN 2011

1. Open a new file in your PC..

2. Name it 'Housework.'

3. Send it to the RECYCLE BIN.

4. Empty the RECYCLE BIN.

5. Your PC will ask you, 'Are you sure you want to delete Housework permanently?'

6. Calmly answer, 'Yes' and press mouse button firmly...

7. Feel better?

Works for me!

Happy 80th Birthday, Les...I mean, Happy 96th Monica!

Yay!! Harry Potter in 3D was Fan-Tas-tic!! All the bits they missed out, were either missed out all together or came around in the end and sort of fitted in okay, Great battle, lots of action and special FX. Mind you, look at that dummy's arm on the body Hagrid is carrying near the end... (supposed to be a dead Harry) I wanna go again!!

See The Best Clips Here!!

Anyway, back in the real world!!!

John's 'step' dad is 80 (we think) this week, so I've done a card just in case! I've missed off putting the numbers on until I know for sure. Nothing worse than people thinking you're 80 when you're really only 79! Mind you, Les doesn't look anywhere near that age. (mean younger of course not older!) Okay, I can hear you say, that's not a very 'manly' card, more like one I would have given to my dad, as he always did like the idea of a hammock. I might swap it for a different one... after all... I do have all those football cards going spare, which I made last week!

Penny Black stamped image, coloured with ProMarkers, and 3D-ed. The Papers are freebies. I have already linked them, but if you missed that you'll find the blue spots HERE and the Kites called Summer Fete Issue 88 there (You may have to login as they are Magazine sites) And the font? Yes, that's a freebie too, it has little hearts for full stops and dots, I used a fine tipped pen to colour red. It's called HeartBreaker and you can download it HERE

I made this card with the Penny Black Challenge in mind... and a few others involving animals! Hope I'm not too late!
New Followers Hi and a {{{big wave}}} to Picnic...from Picnic's Pages. which is all 'pants' at the moment! (That's underpants to our American friends, not trousers...)

Wow! Its A Wizardry Wednesday

Wizardry Wednesday? Well it is for me! Yay! Off to see Harry Potter as soon as I get home from work this afternoon, so!! This is what's on my work desk this Wednesday. My doodlings for this weeks freebie. If you scroll down..no... all the way down to the next post..you'll find Wizardry Whiskers.

Also on my bench are some loo rolls...(yes...there are rather a lot of those!) a Harry Potter disc... (I hasten to add, it's not a real disc, I asked Hubby to print a Harry Potter cover onto a disc so I could turn it into a wall hanging or something, it already has holes in it.) ...a box with draws I might paint. (last painted in the 70's with 'pine' paint!) In front of it is a spotty bit of blue paper, part of a 5 pack freebie from Crafts-on-the-net HERE) just click the mag!...you might have to login though) ...cup of cold tea, bits of jigsaw left over from my Sunday card... Apart for all that, it's reasonably tidy (for me!)

So, I'm not here, this is on timer (hoping the morning will whizzzzz by so I can go and see Harry Potter in 3D!! anyone would think I'm about 6!!)
Now, if you want to join in, just wave your wand, jump on your broom stick or just disapparate over to Professor Julia's Stamping Ground, add your link to the port key and join in!

Puzzling Quirky Stuff!

Hello guys! I know, I'm late! You don't want to know why!!(trust me!!) and in any case, I bet you didn't even notice!
Here's my card for the new...

Quirky Craft's Challenge,

which has already started. It's Cazzy's turn this time round to set the challenge and she has chosen something...

Very Puzzling!

No, I don't mean that I think it's very puzzling, I mean that's the Challenge! Make of it what you will! or better still, pop over to the challenge blog and have a look at what the other DT and GDT's have come up with!! Some fabulous ideas and creations!
This fortnight we have two fabulous sponsors. How cool is that, which means there'll be two prize winners.

The Stamping Boutique and the gorgeous Crafty Ribbons

who are both supplying us with some lovely prizes!! Digis and ... yes you've guessed, ribbons!! I won some of the crafty ribbons at Easter and they are fabulous!! I'll have to get those pirate ribbons for my Pirate Panda!!
Anyway, back to my crafty project... I've made an easel card and used The Candy Shop digi from The Stamping Boutique, added my own background and a digital puzzle over the top of it, printed this out twice, coloured with ProMarkers, then cut out a few of the jig-saws from one and 3D- ed over the top of the other, I've also added extra faux stitching around the edge of the picture and puzzle piece to match those already on the Candy Store.

I've added my own fence and grass and just cut out bits for the path and tiny punched out flowers with sequin centres.

The sentiment 'Happy Birthday' was done on the computer and coloured green with a leaf Green ProMarker.

The font, is a freebie and was cut out using a Woodware punch. It's called Youngsook BTN and you can download it HERE or just Google the name.

I'd run out of black card, so the black you can see is really pink card coloured black round the edges with a black Promarker. Bet you wouldn't have guessed if I hadn't told you!! All the front additions fold down so the card can lie flat and fit into it's envelope, which a handy, as envelopes are very useful!

One Stitch At A Time - Flowers
Birthday Sundaes-anything goes
must have birthday sentiment

One Day Freebie ((Closed)) &Sneak Peek

Sorry, you missed this little puss-cat...so I'll just leave you with my puzzling card sneak peek instead!

Crafty Dragons Has Surprise Blog Candy!! CLOSED

Crafty Dragons is celebrating a Blogaversary!! With another year in blogland and a lovely surprise Candy box to win! (oho what could be in there?!)Hop over, follow the rules and join in!!

Panda The Pirate: Yo ho Ho and a glass of Milk!!

Ahoy there me Hearties!!! Here's a quickie card I made using my Panda Pirate. I think it'll make a great little card for a boy! I drew him a seaside background because he does look as though he's dancing on the sand dunes!

The backing papers are freebies from the PaperCraft Inspiration Magazine. These are available to download! (yippee!) Summer Fete Issue 88 look out for loads of others too.

I've coloured with Promarkers, cut out using a large Nestabilites scalloped circle~Skimmed a slice off the bottom and side of the card so the papers would fit, and so that I could add a shimmer of acetate.
The wavy bit at the side was going to be the bottom of the card but then the clouds would have been the wrong way round! (sshh! no one will notice!) I also drew the skull and cross bones.
The font is a freebie it's called Pieces of Eight. There's hooks, flags and skulls with crossed bones! It comes with that little map that I thought was worth saving and using too and another font Pieces of Eight Alt, which only has a few letters.
In side, I drew the sentiment and coloured over the font with Promarkers then fixed in another Panda Pirate, who is free until midnight next Tuesday!
Make a card using Panda Pirate and if it is featured in my Spyder Has Spyed post coming up later this month, you'll win a digi!!
