Evening all - Sorry I am so late - I finally got a little time to create a card this afternoon so I've used Rodeo-Rhoda (https://www.doctor-digi.com/women/rodeo-rhoda) I had intended her for a wild welcoming in of 2021 but "Hold On" seemed a much more appropriate phrase for this time when so many people are struggling and dealing with difficult situations. We can get through the worst of times, stay postive and if you can - keep smiling and having fun until brighter times and normality resumes! Hold on People 2021 is coming and the future holds much promise.
Sending lots of love,

So finally got round to finishing this card of made using the Three Wise Men (https://www.doctor-digi.com/christmas/three-wise-men) I wanted it to be all shiny and sparkly and found this gold paper thats just fab! (You know I said about starting Christmas cards early... still not done any more and it will soon be here!!) Hipe you areall having a lovely Sunday,

Afternoon - we have been busy doing more DIY this weekend - put a big light fitting up in a double height hallway was ... interesting / scary but ultimately successful after the old light smashed everywhere!! Could have done with some magic powers to help us from this Cheeky Devil (https://www.doctor-digi.com/cheeky-devil) but we've managed and it looks fab. The house is finally getting there... its only taken nearly 2 years since the renovations!! I enjoyed colouring this image and practicing my Black tones - its great for Birthdays or just a Hello for this time of year near Halloween. Dr Digi has the best fun and spooky images!

Afternoon - full of a cold this weekend so being quite lazy, done a couple of jobs around the house but thats all really so not much to report but sometime those weekends are just what we need every now and then. So as soon as I've posted this card made using Selfie Stick Sean (https://www.doctor-digi.com/animals/selfie-stick-sean) - I'm going to take the pooches for a run on the field and then that us... feet up, film on and a pie in the over! It may not be a wild weekend but that's fine by me! Hope you are all having the weekend just the way you want it!!

Morning All. So Sunday.... day of rest or day of chores. This weekend has been very much the latter for me ... probably because I should be studying for a course I'm on all this week and finding lots of other things I need to do instead!! But I do love doing laundry on a Sunday! Nothing better than getting into clean fresh bedding on a Sunday evening. so here is Laundry Day Louie (https://www.doctor-digi.com/laundry-day-louie) waiting for his birthday outfit to be cleaned so he can go out partying!!!
Have a great day - however you spend it & think of me trying to focus!!

Evening - How has your weekend been? We've had a lovely weekend - enjoying some sunshine and some walks with the dogs. This afternoon I have been colouring up Watercooler Walt (https://www.doctor-digi.com/watercooler-walt?search=water&description=true) Only really cool people can carry off a pair of salmon pink chinos! I think he is lingering by the cooler just to chat with his colleagues and he has no intention of doing any work - its just too hot!
Hope you have all been enjoying the nice weather but following Walt's example - staying chilled and hydrated!

Thought I’d share a slightly different post today... this is me colouring at the dining table - music on, cup of tea & doors open so I feel like I’m sat in the garden with the dogs snoozing around me. It’s how Sunday’s should be spent. There is sooo many other things I should be doing but honestly ... I just don’t want too!!!
This is the first time I’ve coloured up Valiant Vic (https://www.doctor-digi.com/valiant-vic) - I don’t know why as he is so versatile. There are some cracking new images over at the website too... some very apt to the current situation the world is in! And if you look carefully at my pic you may see a few sneak peaks of what’s to come!
Hope you are having a lovely weekend,

Afternoon peeps. How are you all doing? Did you enjoy the extra day this weekend for VE Day? or was it just like every other day? I had a lovely day - it was sunny and we had a socially distant picnic with our neighbours to celebrate VE Day. Lots of people put bunting up and it was really nice for a little chat with them. Im looking forward to when we can all get together properly but think its still too soon for lockdown to be lifted personally.
So since then I've had a little time this morning to colour this brilliant image up. Its called The Rolling Gnomes! Isn't that a fab name!! (https://www.doctor-digi.com/the-rolling-gnomes)
Right you lot - keep sharing what your are creating with your Dr Digi images.
Its time for my daily walk with the Furry one so Ill be back next week. Stay Safe

Afternoon - So firstly - apologies for being late today but at least I made it! Unlike last week - when Sunday came and went in a blur! Mainly due to working the weekend but whereas most people seem to be struggling with an abundance of time - I'm the exact opposite. Everything seems to be whizzing by! But I took some time today to colour up this fab image called Bob's Balloons (https://www.doctor-digi.com/bobs-balloons) as I wanted to try and get a see through finish with my balloons - I think they came out ok but there is definitely room for improvement.
I hope you are all well and healthy and enjoy crafting time.

Afternoon all - quick post from me just to remind you that I wish you all big rainbows after the storm passes and it will pass! This card was made using a new image called Over the Rainbow (https://www.doctor-digi.com/over-the-rainbow)
Stay safe xx

Afternoon - How is everyone doing? I hope you are all well and I hope you are able to enjoy some nice weather from your own spaces during Social distancing. The plan was to get out gardening today but the Lawn mower broke!! But thats no excuse to not get weeding so thats my next stop. I've also baked the Dog a cake today as its her 1st Birthday so we are going to unwrap some presents (Just treats I already had but she doesn't know!) and play hide and seek in the garden!!
I've been playing with a new image from Dr Digi called Malcolm the Miner this week. I wanted to make him look like he was in a tunnel with shiny coal and diamonds!! (https://www.doctor-digi.com/malcolm-the-miner)
Hope you are all managing to keep you and yours occupied. Stay home and stay safe!

Afternoon all. I hope you are all well and coping with the social distancing and self-isolation. I think we need to keep doing as much of the hobbies and interests as we can just differently. It been good to see clubs and societies adapting to finding remote ways to share and enjoy spending time together from afar! I'm still working and its pretty much business as usual for me at the moment - but know it wont stay this way for long. So if you can stay home - please do!! I know its frustrating but get all the group chats, facetime and zoom parties going!
Enjoy reading, crafting, gardening or music just like Gnome-o here in this card (https://www.doctor-digi.com/gnome-o) use the time to connect with people and most importantly STAY SAFE!

Morning all - So I'm back this morning with another card using the images featuring Dogs. This one is called Big Archie Butterthwaite (https://www.doctor-digi.com/animals/big-archie-butterthwaite) Im building up my collection now. I love this one... Perfect pairing these two. I can imagine them being grumpy together! Sat in the pub drinking and putting the world to rights! (Kind of what I did on Friday night but it also involved the dog, friends and burgers!) Been a lovely couple of days - sun has shined and i've finished studying so I've have some lovely long walks with pooch and some time colouring whilst watching the rugby.
Now its that time of year and we are off to the Garden center - I know - my life is wild!!!

Morning - Hows your weekend going? Its actually a really nice morning here - bit windy but sunny so we've been out for a walk and now time for him to do some glossing and me to study. Pooch is lay in the sunny spot. All would be perfect if I could just spend the day colouring but soon...
Now today I'm showing you Octavia the Ostrich who is feeling all fancy with her fluffy feathers. (https://www.doctor-digi.com/octavia-the-ostrich) She was funny to colour and would be great for a birthday, congratulations or just a card to tell someone they are ace!
Right better get on with it.... have a lovely day,

Morning... just still morning... Today I am sharing a card I made with Vera, Vince and Viki visit the vets. (https://www.doctor-digi.com/animals/vera-vince-and-viki-visit-the-vets)
You may have seen a theme in my cards lately as I use a lot of images with dogs on. I am building up a collection so that I can sell or auction some to raise a few pennies for the charity called High Hopes Dog Rescue where we got our Pup Skye from. They rescue and rehome dogs from Romania. Skye is just the most gorgeous gentle dog who adores every other dog she meets.
And Doctor Digi has soooo many fabulous and humourous dog images - they are just perfect for my fund raising efforts!
Have a lovely day... hope the storms hold off for you & don't forget the rugby later too!

Hello - I'm not quite as late as last week but still a bit slack on the timings! I was even up at 8.00am but still after trying to tire the pup out for an Hour & Half, then getting some breakfast and finally getting round to putting the finishing touches to the card which uses Salon Deirdery.... eventually I am here! (https://www.doctor-digi.com/-salon-deirdery-digital-stamp?search=salon&description=true)
I know I should be all sorted in advanced but honestly - I'm just not that kind of person. Pretty much everything is last minute and I generally work better under the time pressure or else I procrastinate... a lot! (Big word for a sunday!!)
So the rest of my Sunday is now to try and study for an assessment I have in a month - And I should have started this about 5 months ago so... think I've proved my point.
Anyways it's a grey drizzly day so staying in is the best thing for today... now just to sit and concentrate... but think I will make a brew first... then I will prob need to sort some washing out and maybe sort out a kitchen cupboard... etc...etc...etc... Wish me well!!
