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.

Back 2 Skool, Again.

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!!

A Flowery Banner

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

Okay!" said me, thinking, how hard can that be? But of course, I had to work out how large I could do the letters. Can't suddenly begin with a huge FLO only to dwindle down to tiny crunched up 'OW' at the end.
I did have a bit of a panic, me with my dyslexia thought for a frightening moment I'd put Followers how instead of Flower Show... two words I often get muddled. Because well, the word flower is an odd word anyway isn't it? It's really Flow-ers as in flow, but sounds like it should be flowl-ers as in flowlers, or flourers as in flour...as in cakes. Or maybe that's just the way I talk! It still doesn't look right to me...
I used a permanent black pen and then filled in the red and green with Promarkers but they don't seem too permanent to me. And are they waterproof too? I fear if it rains the Flower Show will run! Let's hope for a sunny day on Saturday!ps....who can spy the spider...?

and that Leafy freebie can still be found Here

I've found just a few of my digi's while hopping round all your blogs! If you see your card here, please chose a digi from my store then email me with your choice, and I'll email it back to you as a Thank you for playing with Spyder's Doodles!!

Isn't this just fabulous! I love the 'netting'. Chrissy used my little Scarecrow on a lovely Halloween stepper card. We're having a Scarecrow competition in our village all through August until this coming Saturday and there's been loads of Scarecrows with a TV theme, popping up in shop windows, gardens and hedgerows! I didn't thinkabout halloween when I drew him!

Chrissy also used Panda Pirate!

This lovely card was made by Anne from Copper Beach Crafts!

If you have a bigger picture Anne, I'll swap it!

Silver Scrapper Elizabeth has used Bob The Robin!

Ali from My Crafty Desk was the first Digger The Mole card I've seen and he was downloaded over 2,000 times!

Ali also made this fab Pirate card using my pirate map!!

And this Naughty Reindeer was made by Anne-Marie from Little Applefalls
So glad I found him Anne-Marie!

A lovely bright card was found over on Mystical krafts. by Alyna!

This little teddy bear was found over on Kobies Craft Corner!



And this Cosy Snowman comes from Paula over at Scrap Addicts Attic

I'm still hunting for a couple more I've seen but have forgotten where they are, there must be some more out there somewhere!! Digger Mole had well over 2,000 downloads. So watch this space!

Wednesday!! WOYW!?

Morning everyone!! Another Wednesday, another WOYWW and another wander around the World to see what everyone has been doing all week. Me? Not a lot. I have managed to get all the 'gold' on all the corners of my box (the bits that will still be seen after I've covered the other bits with decorative papers) I then decided that one of my other boxes could do with the same treatment, so have painted the corners of that gold too.

I also found the magazine from last year, which I was looking for last week, with the 'Make Me' article, which gave me the idea.

The only trouble is, they used The Mariposa Collection papers, which have a 'golden' inlay, and look beautiful, and of course, can I find them over here in the UK? No.... but I'll keep searching!! With any luck, this is what my box will look like when it's finished!
Right, I'd better stop typing this and get cracking on drawing this weeks freebie digi. Meanwhile if you feel the sudden urge to come and show us all your crafty space, hop over to Julia's Stamping Ground and join in!! It's that simple!!! Thank you for stopping by!!

Oho I'm in Print!

Ohoo I'm sooo excited! (Lyn does a jig!) I've just had an email from Ruth at Papermaking Inspirations to say they are putting one of my liccle cards into the next issue of the magazine! (issue 91 so be sure to have a look when you get yours!)

Even though you've already seen this card... or another one very much like it.. a few weeks ago here on the blog, here it is again! And!! Spyder's Corner even gets a mention too, so I'm a very Happy Bunny!
And to think I nearly didn't make this card! I made about three or four football cards in the end for a lady in her nineties to choose for her great nephew who was celebrating his 60th birthday. I thought she'll want something, well...boring! Like a like football, or a boot, (which is what she actually asked for) but no! She loved this card and her great nephew loves it so much, I'm told he's 'framed' it!
So... a great score all round!!! I did make the card again, so I could take some better pictures, that's the trouble when you use acetate, make sure you and your camera aren't in the picture too! For those of you who missed it last time, you can downlown these lovely papers free from Papercrafts Inspirations HERE They're called, 'Glad You're my Dad'
You will also find a few other freebie papers on the same page.
The font I used inside the card is also a freebie, it's called Idolwild, and you can download it HERE
