Friday Fun Day with lots of 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.

We've had lots of rain this week which we needed so not much going on in the garden but we did go to the Fishfarm and guess what we arrived home with a new fish.

 

I love visiting this fish farm it's such a lovely relaxing place.

You can't really see how big these boys are but trust me they were big.

These are a bit younger and more my price range.

It's not just that but I like to see them develop too.

And this is what we came home with as I don't have a yellow fish.....well I do now and he/she is settling in nicely.

While I was in the garden I noticed this.........

I wonder if you can see who's in there?

Hubby thought he was stuck in there and got him out but he obviously likes it because he came back so we've tipped it up slightly so froggie can get in and out as it likes.

Other than the fish farm we joined some friends for an afternoon of smiles.

This was just as everyone was leaving but it was a lovely day.

The hat is mine. I've had that for years but you have to take care of it as it's made of paper.....who would have thought that.

If you haven't seen it before you might like this.

Another of my Ai pics.

Though at the moment this one might be more appropriate...

What do you think?

This may be the last time I use this laptop as I have another one about to arrive as this poor thing is not behaving well. Despite having some work done on it about a year ago it's playing up again so not spending anymore time or money on it I'm afraid.

Have a great weekend everyone and

 thanks for stopping by.

Leave me a comment and I'll pop over to see what you've been up to this week too.

woyww - 898 - What's On Your Workdesk Wednesdasy.

        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!

Not exactly as what you might have expected to see here but I've been working on my Ai pictures again and thought they might make you smile.

Here are Daisy and Alfie enjoying the sunshine.

And here is the original photograph.

So what do you think?

I did make a card out of the cloud masterboard from last week.......

How's that?

That's me done for today.

Thanks for stopping by and hope you will pop over and visit the other desks.

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

Have a great woyww 

and 
happy crafting,

Masterboard Monday.

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

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

If you were around last week you may have seen this before.

If you didn't the information for making it can be found here:

The next part was to make the balloon dogs that I planned to use for the decoration of the card.

This is a stamp by Kate Crane which I then heat embossed which gives a good black line when the colour is added.

Used Tim Holtz watercolour pencils to colour and finished with Stickles Glitter glue on the eyes.

And so to putting it all together. 

I've cut out a piece of the cloud card and edged it with blue ink but you could layer it onto blue card too.

Not sure how clear this is but I stamped the sentiment onto a piece of clear Vellum and folded it round the design. 

Next I added the gold cord to the balloon dogs before attaching them to the cloud design and then to the card blank.

I couldn't resist adding another dog to the inside and a nice sentiment.

I had splattered the clouds with white paint but just felt it needed something else so added a few sequins too.

And that's all for now.

Hope you like it, 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.

I have to admit to being a bit obsessed with the Ai schnauzer pics I've been working on one with Daisy and Alfie.

This is one of the most recent.

This was the original photo.

My beautiful Daisy and Alfie.

It amazes me how it slightly adjusts the photo as well as adding the background and clothing for the dogs.

I love it and hope you like it too.

This is yet another slight adjustment of Daisy on the right by the Ai not me, she's sitting down now.

I am loving playing with this.

Not done much else as it's been too warm but we did have some visitors, hubby's sister and brother in-law who had been to the showground for an Antique Collectors Market.

I'm trying to avoid the sun after my unexpected hospital visit last week but think it's getting better.

Dog walks are now shorter than usual.

Have a great weekend everyone and

 thanks for stopping by.

Leave me a comment and I'll pop over to see what you've been up to this week too.

WOYWW - 897 - 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!

It's a while since I made a new Masterboard but I've been working on one this week.

Using another of my favourite cloud stencils, A3 card and Distress inks.

I think the products speak for themselves but if you need more details just ask.

You will see this again soon.

I have a plan!

So that's me done for today.

Thanks for stopping by and hope you will pop over and visit the other desks.

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

Have a great woyww

Make it On Monday.

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

I am here today to show you an old card and a new one:

I made this ages ago and then put the stamps away and forgot about them and what do you know it's here again!

The cake stamp is by Honey Doo Crafts.

I've used a Stampendous 'Streamers' for the background and added some Stickles glitter glue. I stamped this with first and second generation ink to give a faded look. I like this as it gives depth to the background.

The cake was stamped twise, once with yellow card and once with multi coloured card. 

Next I cut out the icing and added it to the second stamped image. Cut it out and position it on the background design.

Finish with a sentiment and Stickles glitter glue to the spots.

A small amount of watercolour pencil at the bottom of the cake helps to ground it.

If that's not enough I had a play with the cake colour using my Photo editing program.

What fun is that and you can make it any colour you like.

Hope you like it.

I would love to hear your comments.

Many thanks for stopping by and happy crafting,
