Yes, I left school, twice. There was me, working
(slaving) somewhere unmentionable, for months and months, when along came these two men in black who told me I had to go back to school for a few more weeks. I wasn't happy! The whole class started banging on their desks and burst into a chorus of
"I Hear You Knocking..." (I had knobbly
knees!)
Not happy with this card. Can you see why? Run out of silicone glue last week. Hubby kindly said, 'let's go and find some' (after first suggesting I use the stuff left over from the bathroom) Well, miles out to the nearest craft store, bought some, not my normal stuff.
Stick it! by DoCrafts. It was meant to be clear but it came out white, runny and sugary, like golden syrup goes when it's a bit old, and sticks to the tin, which looks like it's going rusty...(not that we keep our golden syrup that long!)
I'd already coloured and cut out four little moles ready to build up, so there's four layers, plus the smiley face, the flower and his glasses, which I also added Glossy Accents to. I put it all together and look, the glue's seeped through! Great big stains of greasy glue on
Moley's face, arm and body. So, I'm never going to buy that glue again! But apart from that, I'm very pleased how Moley turned out. You will find him
HERE in my store, Spyder's
Other Corner.
This easel card did start life as a sketch from one of the magazines I have, but I can't find it now! Things used were,
Bazzil Card, My
digi,
Promarkers,
Woodware punch,
Quickutz, Candi, buttons, ribbon,
Skool brads, black brads, sticky stuff used on carpets, to stop them from slipping and Glossy Accents.
The sentiments were done on the computer. (White on black)
The font is a freebie, it's called
Crazy Girlz Blond BTN and you can download it
HERE where there's a few more types of the same font if you want them!
There would be more
pictures, but my camera's on charge!
Today I achieved two things... one, the zip file and the spell check on my computer had disappeared. Now, I NEED, my spell checker. It automatically checks blogger as I type here, and also when I type your comments, and without it's help, you'd never understand a thing I type! But, after Googling said problem, I found out how to reload one and use a code to re-install the other, so, big toffee apple for me!! (Or in this case, a gold star!!) I've found a few Challenges hope my card fits in! Village Fete tomorrow ....helping mum.... wish me luck!!
Challenges
Had to add this spooooky card from Paula, Scrap Addict's Attic!! Fabulous!
This happened last week. I couldn't believe it when mum told me. They'd just finished their lunch, dad was having a snooze on the sofa, mum had got up to take the plates back out into the kitchen when she noticed 'policemen' coming up the garden path. "Oh Jim!" sez mum, who had a kidney out a few years ago due to cancer,"There's policemen! what on earth can be wrong, quick you go!" Mum, thinking they were bringing bad news, shook dad awake. "You go!" Dad, who still has to wear a catheter after a spell in hospital three months ago, wobbled to his feet a bit puzzled. They are both in their middle eighties and hard of hearing. Luckily they opened the front door before it was bashed down, to armed policemen in full riot gear and tracker dogs! In our sleepy village we never see policemen and never ever with guns anywhere! There were police cars and vans everywhere. Mum said they wanted to search the house, they were all around the house, out the back, in the garden, out in the road. "We just didn't know what was going on! They were looking for someone with guns and knives!" One of the policeman's walkie talkie started buzzing and crackling and they rushed out, spoke to a neighbour then, quickly drove off again! "Wow!" said me, "Luckily you didn't go to adjust your catheter dad, (it's hidden, a tiny thing strapped to his leg) they might have thought you were going for a hidden gun or knife!" Of course, they'd made a mistake. My mum and dad aren't gangsters, although they did go as Al Capone and his moll to Emma's eighteenth birthday years ago! Hopefully someone from the police will apologize, it's a wonder they both didn't keel over with heart attacks!
the initials of the challenge, abc (called an acronym according to Caro.. but don't ask me, I can't even pronounce it!) I've chosen to use some of the back to school images to make this little.... book mark.
images with Promarkers, making two of little Katy reading her books, so I could cut her out and fix her over the first image with some 3D foam pads. These were only suck at the top leaving the bottom half clear. Now she can 'hang' on the page, or peep over the top, letting you know what page you're on, and less likely to slip out of the book. I've left a little space between the other images so a name can be added, or other things like, 'keep out of my book, nosey!' Okay, that's it from me... it's your turn now! You can make anything you like, as long as it isn't a card!! Thanks for stopping by!
Here's one of my digi's. Wilma and Wizzy the witch with her cat, flying on her magical broomstick, on a Halloween Birthday card.
rkers. The second image was fixed straight onto the first, minus the little spider swinging from Wilma's hat. With the third image, I cut Wilma off her broomstick, along with Wizz the cat and the broomy end of the broom, and Wizzy's tail too, so I could do a bit of 3D-ing.
Martha Steward spider web boarder punch and fern punch. The bats are actually the cut outs from a Martha Steward bat corner punch.
s, no link but this just has to be you at blah-to-tada. all out the back and in the dark!
It's Wednesday and another WOYWW!! and time again to scoot around all over the place to see what's on everyone's crafty desk! Here's what's on mine...yes...I know, bigger pictures showing you another mess and almost the same as last week, but not quite. The start of a card, a freebie stamp from a mag and some papers I might use on my box, but I don't think so. Bit busy this week, so a very short post from me! I know... I don't believe it either!! I must be sick.

This is what I've been up to today. Mum said, "Do us a 'Flower Show' Banner for the Fete on Saturday."
ps....who can spy the spider...?
