Hi all

Happy New Year.... may it be a wonderfully creative one for you all!

here's a new digi of SHAKESPEARE

Lots of people asked for the images I used on the boxing day poster so I've made a collage sheet up, unfortunately these were meant for christmas tags and I didn't create digital stamps with them, but here they are in colour.

lots of things to look forward to in 2012... a collab with a certain fairy friend, new rubberstamps coming out in the next few weeks. looking into more crafty items to be made by The Octopode Factory, including chipboard and masks.

Tea time:

**NEW**Mad Hatter

The Dormouse

The March Hare.

As The Octopode Factory is quite proud to be English we felt it only necessary that we try to do our bit to help out in the riot clean-up.

The damage caused by the riots is said to be £200million... a lot coming from small businesses and leaving people homeless, out of work or just generally with their livelihoods burned down, smashed or stolen.

The Octopode factory has decided to help, so if you buy The **NEW**Mad Hatter, the March Hare or The Dormouse, 100% of the money with go to OPERATION CUP OF TEA. Which is involved in the riot clean-up.

So join the tea party and have a cup of tea!!

The 30 day song challenge: 12

2011-06-20T11:02:00.000-07:00

I've been falling behind a tad on this so i'll start were i left off..

A song from a band you hate♥

I really REALLY don't like Oasis. Everyone seems to know all their songs and love them and personally i completely hate them, their music isn't original and they seemed to insanely want to be john lennon..one of them did anyway. At least one of their songs is classed as 'iconic' but I just don't see the appeal of their music, i dont think there is anything mildly iconic anywhere near one of their songs..

Samples by Amy

The 30 day song challenge: Day 11

2011-06-14T12:54:00.000-07:00

A song from your favourite band♥

So Manic Street Preachers probably definitely class as at least one of my favourite bands.

The 30 day song challenge: Day 10

2011-06-13T13:04:00.000-07:00

A song that makes you fall asleep♥

It doesnt actually magically knock me out or anything like that, it's just a nice song that i would listen to if i had to choose something.

The 30 day song challenge: Day 9

2011-06-12T15:06:00.000-07:00

A song that you can dance to♥

The 30 day song challenge: Day 6,7 &8

2011-06-11T11:12:00.000-07:00

I admit im not very good at remembering this.

A song you know all the words to♥

This could really be any song, but i chose a song that i have to sing along to when it comes on. It's a tad bit odd because its from the program Horrible Histories(a british kids sketch-show) but it is a really good song.

A song that reminds you of a certain event♥

I did a dance to this in year 7 with my school dance club, it's slightly ruined this song for me which is a shame.

A song that reminds you of somewhere♥

I couldn't think of one for this. I couldn't think of any song that when i listen to it say, 'oh that reminds me of this place' sorry..

The 30 day song challenge: Day 4 & 5

2011-06-08T09:49:00.000-07:00

Yes, day 4 and already i'm forgetting all about it.

A song that reminds you of someone♥

This is probably the easiest one for me.

This song reminds me of my best friend Perrie. I Giorni was a song that Perrie introduced me to, strangely this is the exact video he showed me(the reason i call it the hippo song). I think it's completely amazing...it's more amazing when Perrie plays it on the piano though because, well he's amazing. I think you get the point.

I think anyone who hasn't heard it should take the time to listen to it..and anyone who has should just listen to it anyway.x

A song that makes you sad♥

All i did for this was choose the most depressing song by The Smiths i could think of(I love The Smiths!!).

The 30 day song challenge: Day 3

2011-06-06T06:43:00.000-07:00

A song that makes you happy♥

You can't listen to this song and not smile.x

The 30 day song challenge: Day 2

2011-06-05T09:32:00.000-07:00

Your least favourite song♥

This was quite easy. Even though this song is from an advert, i think it is the most hated song in the universe. I absolutely hate it... it is the most annoying thing in the world therefore has gained the title of my least favourite song.

The 30 day song challenge: Day 1

2011-06-04T10:19:00.000-07:00

Your Favourite Song♥

Rolling Stones~Ruby Tuesday

This is much MUCH harder then it sounds. I found it difficult to only choose 1, but alas i eventually chose my favourite song[or at least my favourite right at this very second.]

a Note about my digital images

2011-06-04T07:55:00.000-07:00

I do my digi drawings on A4 size so although you received a 6 x 4" image, the digi's can be made much larger without losing clarity. The beauty of digi's is the ability to re-size them... larger or smaller. My digi's are not just line-images, they have plenty of depth to them. Even if you don't like digi's ~ give them a go, you might be surprised! I know I've tempted some of the most staunch rubber stampers over to the dark digi side!

These are two of the new digital images available!

I found the webcam thingy on my laptop! I know it's quite sad but it kept me occupied for awhile...not for long though i find Blackadder much more interesting..

.Jack and Sally.

My dearest friend, if you don't mind I'd like to join you by your side where we can gaze into the stars and sit together, now and forever for it is plain as anyone can see we're simply meant to be♥

Seeing as this is one of my favourite films of all time, i thought it only polite to invite them to The Octopode Factory.
