Where has MyDoodle gone?

If you visit this blog or my photo website, find a photo that you would really like to use as a greetings card or piece of wall art and click on a link to use the photo in MyDoodle you will be disappointed. You will see this message.

This message has been appearing for a while now and my attempts to find out what is happening have been ignored. I have emailed the link given to only receive another message telling me to use another email address to make contact. I do this but receive no response.

This is really frustrating as it means my blog and website is useless. If MyDoodle are redesigning their web page I don;t know whether they will still include my photos and if they do whether i will need to redo all my links.

I'm really sorry of this is causing disappointment but I really am trying to find something out and will post here if and when I get some sort of response.

Get well soon card

Get well soon card featuring Guzzler the greedy little pig. He eats everything he can get his snout into. He stuffs himself with all the other animals food including the farmer's breakfast and even eats the washing on the line.

The farmer's wife is not impressed and so to teach him a lesson the farmers arranges for several lorry loads of rotten vegetables to be delivered.

Guzzler can't resist and eats the lot which leaves him feeling very porrly and sorry for himself but has he learned his lesson?

Here he features on a get Well Soon card.

Not so square

Originally there was the option to create a square card with MyDoodle but now cards are all rectangular (either portrait or landscape).

You can resize square designs so they will fit the card using the creation tools available in MyDoodle.

This does leave you with quite a lot of white background which you could use to create a personal greeting. I am gradually adapting my square designs so they fit in better on a rectangular card.

Here are the most recent adaptations.

Purple Crocus

Follow my blog with Bloglovin

This photograph was taken of a purple crocus growing in our garden. I don't think it could quite believe that the sun was shining and so opened its petals to celebrate. The raindrops are evidence that it was still damp from all the recent rain.

Dandelion Clock

Dandelions may be a nuisance when they decide to grow in your lawn but they make fascinating subjects for photography. Once the dandelion sets seed and produces a 'clock' it is even more photogenic.

Hellebore

The hellebores in our garden have really earned their keep this yera. They have stood up well to the poor weather and have flowered over a long period. They have also provided a good subject for my photography.

Michaelmas Daisy

This image has been manipulated in Photoshop from a photo that I took of the Michaelmas daisies growing in my garden, The design was created with the intention of producing a design that would work well printed on acrylic or metal.
