Ghosties!! This Weeks Wednesday Digi

Sorry you missed this one!
Some of you may already have one of my one day freebie ghostie images from last year but seeing I'm away, I've had to fall back on another ghostie digi. As you can see, this one was saved as a PGN, so it has a 'clear background' which means, if you print them straight onto your spooky backing paper, the ghosties should print out without the normal white background. All done on the Wacom Bamboo as I don't have my printer/scanner with me! (why not!!) So it's a bit wobbly (blame my wonky finger) Clicking the picture should take you to 4shared. Any problems email me!

As always, please don't share my digi's. If in doubt as to what this means, ask first!!! I'm finding my digi's on the most unlikely forums!
Links are always welcome but not the digi's themselves. This is why I've been using a watermark just lately. Don't forget I always love to see what you've made using them. Please leave a comment if you can! Thank you for stopping by!

Mason... again

Well.. I'm allowed...it's my blog!
"Take my picture too!" Tom tried to take a picture of Emma ( in the back ground) But Mason was having done of it!!
And who would want to come back to England when you have views like this virtually outside your back door??
Pictures by Tom.

I'm in The Dog House Again!

Are dogs clever or are they just plain dumb, or are they sooo clever they make us think they're dumb?!? (Paws for thought...) We went for a lovely walk in the forest yesterday... via the river because the dogs love the river. Today, (we're dog sitting for the week) we thought we'd do something similar, seeing it was sooo hot! (yes, it really is October!) But, no. George put his foot down, or in his case, his paw, and didn't want to get into the car. He usually tries to take a flying leap before we can get the back open. He made it quite clear he wanted to go down the lane where he lives. So that's what we did. The result was the same. Two whacked out dogs!
I haven't made any cards over the weekend because of not being in my craft room (aarrgh!!) but as The Goonies have just started on the Telly, I thought you might like a link to The Goonies Free Font
Okay, question. Who links the Goonies to The Lord of The Rings?!?
Followers! Hi and a BIG {{wave}} to Tracie, from The Crafty Touch I love your purse charm! Then Camerageek from The Meatloaf Sandwich Fab scrapbook layouts. I love the "BOO!" and also Chrisann from Give Me Time To Ink About it! A House Mouse fan I should think! Lovely Cards!
Bye for now!

This Month Spyder has 'Spyed' (September)

It's the end of September and time for another 'Spyder has Spyed' post, where I hunt around blogland to find if any of my digi's are being used on your cards or projects! I've found a few, and if you see your make here, pop over to the store, chose one (or two if you've used two of my digi's!) email me, tell me which , and I'll send it/them back to you as a Thank You for playing with my didi digi's! Not been able to make a lot of new digi's lately, so hopefully while I'm way next week House and Dog sitting (again!) I'll have time to I draw a few!

A lot of you called Digger the Mole a Hedgehog, so I'll have to do another version of him, looking more like a hedgehog! And talking of Digger, here he is!!

Isn't this fabulous! Ginny, from RubberMad, and all the way from California!! emailed me to show off her fantastic card for one of her three grandchildren, using Digger The Mole!

I love he's layers and soft colouring. Pop over to Ginny's Lovely Blog to find out what she used and how she made him look so fantastic!!

This super card was made by Jacynthe from Life in my craft room who used orange and green to bring this Happy Scarecrow to life!!

Another fabulous card made by Paula, from Scrap Addicts Attic,' Paula's not only used Wilma and Wizzy but The Haunted House too! Both these digi's are now in the store, ready for Halloween!

This Haunted Tree card was made by Sandy, called 'Sweet Memories From Stanley Avenue' Sally sent me a lovely story, which I hope she won't mind sharing.
The card is for my dear Aunt who is 86. She was born in UK but emigrated to NZ in the 60’s. She lived in Copnor Hampshire when she was young and there was a really weird tree in the bottom of her garden a bit like the tree that you have sent me. Anyway she is very poorly in NZ and not expected to be with us for very long … she came over to the UK in February this year and wanted to get to see if the tree was still in the garden unfortunately she never managed to get there … this card is just to send love and “sweet memories”
You'll find Sandy's blog, here!


Paula, from Scrap Addicts Attic also made this fabulous 'dark' card using the haunted tree! I love those colours together. Very Spoooky!

Chrissy from Chrissy's Cardland used Possy bear to make this sweet card. Chrissy coloured with Faber Castell pencils and blended with Archival oil, added Autumn coloured stones in the centres of the flowers, used papers from Graphic 45 Steampunk Collection and that gorgeous ribbon?? was from her door hanger! (Brilliant bit of recycling!)

I love this card with Kitty in the flower pot made by runzalot81 from Will Run For Stamps The sentiment is by HeroArts. I love that ribbon!
I did have a couple more but my computer must have saved them somewhere else. So if you see your card here,don't forget to email me and I'll send you a freebie...Now!! I haven't been putting many new ones in the store lately as I've been, on the pills!! and also away. But as I said above, hopefully there should be some new digi's arriving very soon! (So you might want to wait a bit!)
New Follower! Hi and a big (((Wave)) to Simone, who at the moment hasn't a link. October tomorrow! Pinch and a punch!!! Thank you for stopping by.

Happy Birthday Mason Rain!

It's Mason's 2nd birthday today! Happy Birthday Mason! Wish I could be there. This is the card I ended up sending.

Thinking that a cheeky monkey in bright colours might be more favourable than the pastel coloured ark. (As long as he doesn't eat the bits!) which I made waaay back in February, then I found again...(I'm always losing things... shoes, glasses, car keys...)
I've used another Dustin Pike digi this time too, coloured it with ProMarkers, of course. I've decoupaged or 3D-ed him and added another candle as there was only one.
First I coloured about four monkeys, (monkies?? No, that doesn't look right!) kept one as the base, then added another whole image, so his hat and feet, which had been sliced off by the Nestie die-cut, would still be there. (He didn't mind losing his feet) Then added a tailless monkey, (Ouch!!) then just a head, (he was used to it by then!) and an extra present and candle... (If you understood all that, you're cleverer than me!)
I've used freebie brown gingham backing paper, which is available HERE. The green paper with chocolates dots came from Pink Petticoat.

The Font of course is a freebie, I've linked it before, it's called Baby Kruffy and you can download it HERE.
The top sentiment line is printed as it types out in 'Word' and the red was put into WordArt (on your computer) and coloured there too.
Inside I've used green paper for the insert to go with the green card and added a Penny Back Stickeroo. All fixed together with either silicone glue or photo glue.

This photo was snagged off of FaceBook. Mason playing with the Duplo Lego we sent him, via his Aunty Emma and Uncle Tom... Like I said. Wish we were there!
At least the card arrived this time, (You can see it in the pic below) not sure if the tiger card I made last year ever arrived, as they don't have a postman out there and a couple of my cards have come back, undelivered.
I will add some challenges later, have a few lined up but I've (ummm) lost my little note book... which is no surprise seeing the state of my craft room!! But it's toooo sunny to tidy up!!! Thanks for stopping by!

Where's WOYWW?! Somewhere in England

I've been away, (no, not locked away) so of course, my batteries are flat... I mean, my camera's batteries are flat! So...I've no pictures...yet.... but imagine this!!! A tidy craft room, with everything in it's place and all my projects Finished!!! In your dreams!

So...I'm off to bed, it's gone 2:30 in the morning, so this is already Wednesday...When you read this, I'll probably still be in bed, snoring! I'll get up, (fall out of bed) race to the kitchen, flicking on the kettle (an electric kettle for all our American visitors) get my (hopefully) changed batteries and camera (via the first port of call, the bathroom) rush back into my extremely tidy craft room (fibber) Rush out again and wake up poor hubby coz he had the memory card last, then (if I find it) scream quickly into said craft room and take a couple of fabulous (out of focus) pictures of some thing! (Trying to disguise the mess!) Then I''ll pop over to Julia's Stamping Ground, and join in with all the other WOYWWers, (probably doing the same!) it's that easy!! So go and get your camera and join in too! ps...if this post does appear with no pictures... I'm still in bed... and pictures will appear around lunch time... Have a great woyww
Bye for now!

Hi all you fabulous people! (oh-oh, Lyn's on the pills again!) No, I'm feeling a lot better thank you, but I'm not here, I'm some where else for a very loooong weekend.

Ok! enough, enough! I always wondered how they spelt 'awimoweh!' Bet you'll be singing that for the rest of the week now!! (I love the dog in the vid!) For this challenge we're sponsored by the lovely Digital Delights by Louby Loo who have provided some great jungle images for us on the team to use, including our GDT too! This is my make... coloured with ProMarkers.... I've used Dillon the Lion, which I've decoupaged, (printed him four times, the first one, I changed to PNG and printed him straight onto the paper animal paper, also available from our sponsors, so I didn't have to cut round his tail) The other tiger and giraffe papers are from Freedownload digitals. (There's loads of other papers. Link always on my side bar) The two fonts I've used are freebies. Crazy Loot BTN Inline and Apple Boy BTN (some sites do charge for this one) Other things used, Pink Petticoat paper (the green grass) black card (from Trago Mills) Nestabilities scalloped circles, Woodware paw punch, X cut border punch and as you can see, I couldn't make up my mind about the eye-wool...

So, over to you!! Make anything crafty you like with a Jungle Theme... Lions, monkeys, zebras, fur look papers, Jungle leaves, big paw prints. Come up with something fantastic and join in! Pop over to Quirky Craft's Challenge Blog and have a look see at what the others have come up with! In the meantime, this is on timer, I'm not here, back Monday, sorry for any smelling mistakes, might not have any internet connection...how will I survive? In the jungle, the mighty Jungle.....
