Masterboard Monday Use it or Lose it.

    Welcome to all my new followers, hope you enjoy the journey.

I am here today to show you a card made with this Masterboard:

This is a piece from an earlier project but still plenty of it left over.

The masterboard was finished with embossing paste and gold leaf.

The balloons were cut with some Clarity papers and the embossed card was done with a Tim Holtz embossing folder then mounted onto a piece of white card and later on to the card blank.

I love these balloon dies as there is a great variety of different ones.

The curved part of the Masterboard was cut with a die by Memory Box.

I finished the design with some coloured gems and a birthday stamped sentiment and that's it.

Hope you like it.

Lots of balloons left so you may well see those again soon.

I would love to hear your comments.

Many thanks for stopping by and happy crafting,

Friday Fun Day with Smiles.

    Welcome to all my new followers, hope you enjoy the journey.

Angela here again to show you what I've been up to this week.

This was last Saturday at the Craft Club.

Everyone who joined in my class had a great time and produced some lovely cards.

I was looking at ways to use double sided card. 

I love it but can't stand losing one side but with these cards you get to keep both.

These were some of my samples.

If you were around earlier in the week you may have already seen these here.

And some quick cards to use up all the left-over card.

The rest of this week has been quiet for me as hubby has been away again visiting schools to check the teachers marks but don't worry I have lots to do.

Monday, I decided to catch up with my housework which I would normally have done on Saturday.

Tuesday, ironing but don't worry Felting in the afternoon with Sophie on the Felting Fungi club.

Wednesday blog visits and another felting class.

Thursday hubby came back and he's got Friday off so we are going to Meadow Hall, Sheffield for a day out for shopping or as hubby says shopping hell! misery guts but he is taking me and he has a voucher for M&S so he might just buy something which will be a miracle as most of his clothes I have bought at some time.

So that's it really.

Still not got the car back but she should be ready next week.

Daisy and Alfie are at the kennels this week

I found this doggy check list that tells you how they feel. 

Daisy was a bit under the weather when she came back from the kennels last time.

Her tail was definitely number 7 so got this out as a check list. They don't get as much sleep as they have at home.

There was nothing wrong with her I think she was just tired and in a couple of days she was chasing Alfie round as normal and her tail became number 1 in no time at all so we'll see what she's like when she gets back on Saturday.

Have a great weekend everyone and

 thanks for stopping by.

And if you would like some more smiles you just need to pop over to see what our other friends have been doing this week at Annie's for
"This Week's Smiles" and you can also share your  smiles too.

WOYWW - 835 - What's On Your Workdesk Wednesday.

    Welcome to all my new followers, hope you enjoy the journey.

Hi Workdesk friends. 
We are here for another Wednesday at the Workdesk and here is:
"What's on my Workdesk this Wednesday".

If you don't know what this is all about then please visit Sarah's Craft Shed and our host Sarah will explain.

So here is my desk for today!

Now you didn't expect to see this. 

I did a class for the ladies at the Craft Club on Saturday and here I am stamping and embossing on some Vellum for them while they start their cards which ended up looking like this......

one of my samples.

Other than that here are some of my felting projects which Neet wanted to see.

Some I've done with Sophie on her Fungi club and some are older pieces.

Here is my Shrooman and his mouse friend though I'm not sure he's finished.

So that's me done for today.

 Thanks for stopping by and hope you will pop over and join in the visits around the other desks.

 I'm off now to see what everyone else is up to.

Have a great woyww 

and 
happy crafting,

Manic Monday well Saturday Really.

    Welcome to all my new followers, hope you enjoy the journey.

I am here today to show you some cards made at the Craft Club:

I didn't want to rob you of a missed post but I've been busy all weekend so today I'm showing you some cards made at the Craft Club.

I love double sided papers, I buy them and then can't use them as I can never decide which side to choose so I gave it some thought and had a good look round and this is what I ended up with and hope you like them.

Many of the double sided papers are almost card and will stand up when mounted onto one sheet of Base Card but if it doesn't they can be attached to a card blank too.

The papers are so beautiful that I didn't want to cover some of them so I used Vellum to stamp the sentiment before attaching it inside the card and left it lose at the bottom so that the patterned card is still visible. The stamping could be done in other colours too.

The back of this card was decorated with a flower cut from the left over pieces and coloured cord added. 

You can finish these anyway you like but I've kept everything nice and flat as they will be posted.

On this one I added a layered card for the inside.

For once I have enjoyed using these paper.

And if you have any left-over pieces here are some simple cards to use up those bits. Some stamping, gems and Glitter glue gives you a pretty and fairly quick card but you could add more to these if you wish but we all need a quick card sometimes.

I would love to hear your comments.

Many thanks for stopping by and happy crafting,

Friday Fun day.

   Welcome to all my new followers, hope you enjoy the journey.

Angela here again to show you what I've been up to this week.

It's not often you see this but I'm actually using my sewing machine today.

I had decided to wash some cushion covers and when I removed the filling it looked like this so thought I had better make it a new cover.

Now that looks better.

Fruit trees looking good too.

Apples.

You may remember I said the other week that my car has gone in for some work to be done on it so we popped in to see how it's going.

And here she is, new wing and undercoat. 

So far so good.

Another week or so and she may be coming home. 

It's so good to find someone who knows how to do these jobs.

On Wednesday we went to a funeral of an old friend. It's always sad when you lose people close to you but he has done so well as 29 years ago he had a new kidney which was only expected to last for about ten years but was still going strong when unfortunately it was found that he had cancer. Still hard for the family to lose him.

The rest of the week I've been been felting and gardening and the usual housework stuff.

So I'm going to finish here with a few thoughts for the day.

How true.

Sad but true.

Which just proves it's better to not leave them on their own for too long.

Have a great weekend everyone and

 thanks for stopping by.

And if you would like some more smiles you just need to pop over to see what our other friends have been doing this week at Annie's for

WOYWW - 834 - What's On Your Workdesk Wednesday.

     Welcome to all my new followers, hope you enjoy the journey.

Hi Workdesk friends. 
We are here for another Wednesday at the Workdesk and here is:
"What's on my Workdesk this Wednesday".

If you don't know what this is all about then please visit Sarah's Craft Shed and our host Sarah will explain.

So here is my desk for today!

This was last week but thought you'd like to see what I did with some of it.

Details here: 

If you were around Monday you will have already seen it.

Today actually looks like this:

Quiet really but there is a reason.

I will be out today as we're going to a funeral but I'll get round everyone hopefully when we get back but that could be late as we've some distance to go.

A lovely card and ATC, thanks to LLJan and Julia.

Also on my desk today are these washi tapes. How gorgeous are they!

Not a clue yet what I'll do with them but couldn't resist them so here they are.

Some very old butterfly stickers that keep turning up and some stencil paste.

This border was the remains of the pieces cut out for the card above so I've attached it to a piece of card but so far nothing else, got brain fog now Lol!

So that's me done for today.

 Thanks for stopping by and hope you will pop over and join in the visits around the other desks.

 I'm off now to see what everyone else is up to.

Have a great woyww 

and
