Mydoodle

CreateToday has undergone a complete overhaul and now goes under the name of Mydoodle. At the moment they don't now offer complete designed cards just a selection of images (including mine) that can be used to create your own card and add a personal greeting.
My apologies if this means some of my posts are out of date but I'm afraid this is out of my control  - I must admit to feeling a bit miffed that all the cards that I have designed are no longer available and I am trying to make sure that all the front of card images are available for use when creating your own cards If you find one of my cards that you would have liked to use but can't find the front image then email me and I'll see what I can do.

Autumnal

As we have been out and about over the past few days we have noticed that the trees are looking very beautiful so I couldn't resist taking a few photographs.

The first two were taken at Bretton Country Park.

Farm Animals

This collection of photos of farm animals would make good subject for greetings cards. I've chosen photos that look as though the animal is speaking so they lend themselves to the addition of a caption.

What is cuter than a meerkat?

This group of photographs were taken during a recent visit to an Owl Sanctuary

It was little wonder that the creatures were on permanent alert as birds of prey are flown at the centre each day.

Maybe your dad prefers diesel.

Just to add to the collection of photos that could be used as a Fathers' day or birthday card for a train enthusiast is this photo of a diesel train.

The train should have been pulled by a steam engine as it was due to attend York Railfest but the steam engine broke down.

Fathers Day card - Scripps Garage

THis card was based on photos taken at Goathland in North Yorkshire. Goathland was the village used as Aidensfield in the TV series Heartbeat.

The front of the card is a shot of Scripps' garage and the inside photo is of one of the Ford Angla cars used as police cars in the series.

The greetings at the front of the card can all be removed and your own greeting added so you can use the designs for any occasion. Some greetings would also suit a birthday card for your dad.

Fathers' Day card for a gardener

These two cards were designed using photos that I took At Ryton organic garden and Benningborough Hall. The front and back photos were taken in the ornamental vegetable garden in 2004 so no doubt the garden has undergone many changes since then.  

The inside photo of the ancient lawn mowers was taken at Benningborough.

The greetings at the front of the card can all be removed and your own greeting added so you can use the designs for any occasion. Some greetings would also suit a birthday card for your dad.

Fathers' Day Cards for the steam enthusiast

If your dad is 'into' steam, then here are a couple of cards that he may enjoy.The greetings at the front of the card can all be removed and your own greeting added so you can use the designs for any occasion. Some greetings would also suit a birthday card for your dad.

The first is based on a photo taken at Goathland station in North Yorkshire. Goathland was the location for the TV series Heartbeat and so also doubles as Aidensfield.
Front 
Inside

The second photo was one that I found in my husband's photo collection and was taken of a traction engine at a steam rally in 1969. It wasn't actually a sepia photo but the addition of a sepia tuint seemed appropriate.

Fathers' Day Canal Designs

These two cards were designed using photographs that I took when walking along a couple of canals. The greetings at the front of the card can all be removed and your own greeting added so you can use the designs for any occasion. Some greetings would also suit a birthday card for your dad.

The first one is taken of a fairly local (to me) canal near the RSPB reserves at Fairburn Ings.

The second was by the canal at Tiverton where you can enjoy a horse drwan canal trip.

Fathers' Day card - first lot

The subjects for the first lot of Fathers' Day cards are photos all taken when we had a day out in Whitby. The greetings at the front of the card can all be removed and your own greeting added so you can use the designs for any occasion. Some greetings would also suit a birthday card for your dad.

The first one is taken looking across the harbour to the lighthouse.

The next card is based on a photo of 'The Grand Turk'- a replica eighteenth century frigate. This is quite a star as it is used in films and TV.

The third card is based on photos of a steam tram located again alongside Whitby harbour. Tram rides could be taken around Whitby.
