Goodbye, Adios, Au Revoir, Auf- Wiedersehen, Tot Ziens, Hwyl

So this is it…time to say ‘Goodbye’
Having now stepped down from all my DTs it’s also time to step away from this blog for a few months while I ponder life, the universe & everything.
A humongous THANK YOU to everyone who has been following this blog over the years and left such encouraging comments.
An equally uber-mahooooosive THANK YOU to the amazing Design Teams that I have been so lucky to work with too.
I will still be making cards (behind the scenes), designing my garden inspired digi stamps over at Janey's Digi Designs & on Facebook as well as working on my garden blog Tidy Gardens by Jane, but for now…this is it….(sob, sniff, wipes tear from eye).
In the words of the legendary Arnie…
’I’ll be back’

Couldn’t leave without one final card using an image from one of my all time favourite designers, Mo Manning (AKA Mo’s Digital Pencil)Stamp – Big Guys Bike - Mo’s Digital Pencil

Thanks for having me xxx

Fabulous Darlin’

Greetings Earthlings!
Trust all is well in your neck of the woods.
A quickie from me today using an image from Mo’s Digital Pencil called Fabulous. Simply coloured with Promarkers with a Doodlebug Fancy Frills border, gem hairbands and a Paper Smooches sentiment.

New Digi Release–Wind Flower

New digi release at Janey’s Digi Designs, the Wind Flower (or Wind Anemone), which a certain Mr C has recently added IN BULK to the Tidy Garden.


As the sun comes out they open as wide as their petals will allow and when the sun goes down they huddle up as if to keep warm….beautiful spring flowers.
You can keep up to date with the Design Teams creations here and on our Facebook page here.

Heavenly Spring Scent

Popped into one of our local DIY stores yesterday to check out the plant section and it was such a sorry sight. Tray after tray of windswept pansies & frost bitten polyanthus half price. Daffodil, hyacinths & tulip bulbs reduced as only the foliage has popped up this year. It’s been a disaster for garden centres & alike who look to the flowers to encourage & inspire folk to buy. It’ll be such a shame if we miss the spring flowers this year.
The sun is supposed to come out today (HOORAH!!) so I hope to get some serious ‘pottering’ in the garden done.
I hope you get some sunshine too.

Sob! Sniff!

Tiz Friday….Yay!
Tiz also my last post for Doctor Digi’s House of Stamps (sniff!) as I have decided to step down from all DT’s to re-evaluate life. the universe & everything.
So for my final card for the Doc’ I’ve used the fabulous Tin Man with a message for us all.
It goes without saying that I’ve had the BEST TIME EVER being on the Docs barking mad team and I miss them already…lol
Now…the weekend’s here….pleeeeeeeze can we have some spring warmth!!!
What ever you’re up to, have a great one.

Golf Anyone?

Errrrrr……..NO THANKS!
I can think of several more interesting things I could be doing with my time rather than strolling around in the freezing cold, dragging a bag of heavy metal sticks and frozen balls.
Sheesh!
For a change, here in ol’ Blighty, it’s freezing today, there’s a gale force wind and guess what…it’s snowing…AGAIN!
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If anyone’s got sunshine & warmth, make a up the spare room, I’m coming over.

Latest Newsletter from The Doc’

Newsletter #18

 

Spring is in the air, according to the calender, and Dr. Digi
has taken a trip to the bottom of the garden for a new
batch of digis....

    

“Grimble Grumble” & “Gnome Sweet Gnome”
Click images to view the digis

“Grimble Grumble”, like all good Gnomes, is a house-proud
little creature and he has good reason to be, with such an
enviable abode. It certainly is a “Gnome Sweet Gnome”.

“No Place Like Gnome ” & “Slam Dunk Duncan”
Click images to view the digis

“No Place like Gnome” is a digi scene combining
Grimble Grumble, Gnome Sweet Gnome and Watering Can
to make a picturesque digi for those who like a challenge!
“Slam Dunk Duncan” is a pre coloured digi for those that
like a little of the hard work done for them, so they can
concentrate on card making.

“Watering Can” & “Grumpy Monkey”
Click images to view the digis

“Watering Can” is taking over from “Grumpy Monkey”
as this month freebie. But don’t worry you can still find
our furry friend in the Cheapies section for just £1!
 

The spot prizes keep coming and this time Jackie Wallace
hit lucky by placing our 2000^th order. You never know where
the next prize will be, so keep posting and ordering, and it
might be you next!

 

Keep crafting and smiling and we'll see you all in a couple of weeks.

Regards,
Dr. Digi

 

Barking Mad!

Pinch! Punch! First day of the Month and Happy April Fools Day!
When not skipping gaily around the flowerbeds like a fruitcake I can be found doing an Irish jig around the house.

Such A Chimp

Greetings Earthlings!
In some ways Grumpy Monkey from Doctor Digi’s House of Stamps and I are quite similar.
He spends all day picking fleas out of his pals, I spend all day picking the kids bits n’ pieces up. He swings from tree to tree, I fly from room to room.
Both of us prefer the great outdoors rather than being cooped up inside and he has a big, red bum which is where the similarities end!
At the moment he’s a FREEBIE so grab him quick & why not treat yourself to some other goodies at the Docs place while you’re there.

Forget Spring….Let’s Skip to Summer!

Ahoy me hearties!
I hope you’re all well &, in soggy, cold Blighty, looking forward to the long Bank Holiday weekend ahead.
We’re in the midst of some interior home decorating at the moment, as well as transforming the garden (again…lol). We’re starting with our son’s bedroom, out with all the Simpsons & Chelsea football club paraphernalia and in with something for the more mature young man.
The garden? Well, those who follow my gardening blog, Tidy Gardens by Jane, will know that’s a forever changing scene, I’m such a fidget!
My card today uses one of my own digi designs, printed twice, coloured with Promarkers with gem centres.
Enjoy the rest of your week!

Stamp – Icelandic Poppy (Janey’s Digi Designs)

Hey Buddy!

Hey all, hope you’re managing to stay warm n’ cozy during this weird spring weather we’re having.
I think we can safely say there won’t be a drought this year!
My card today uses Baron & Butch from Mo’s Digital Pencil, coloured with Promarkers & grassy embellishments using my new Doodlebug Fancy Frills.
Have a great week, stay safe n’ warm! xx
