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.

I couldn't resist it, Daisy and Alfie have gone Steampunk again (Ai manipulated)

from this original photo. 

It's interesting that the Ai even adjusted the photo slightly too. Very clever.

Last Saturday I enjoyed a day out at the Doncaster Craft show.

This is the Make and Take part where you can join in with some crafting.

  

Not too busy when I arrived but it soon filled up.

I always like to stop off and watch the demonstrations.

This is not just for paper crafters and there's plenty for those who love fabrics too.

If you need to update your sewing machine you can do that too.

Not that I need another sewing machine but I still love seeing the new stuff.

And there's lots of them.

But I can't ignore the beautiful card samples.

That guy is so cute and yes it looks like Christmas is on it's way.

Thought you might like to see this guy too. He stands near the entrance and is covered in paper flowers.

Not sure he'd make a good race horse though.

Other than that it's still been warm here so not much happening in the garden but the grapes are getting a bit bigger.

I think that's enough for today.

Stay cool and have a great weekend.

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

WOYWW - 893 - 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!

Not very exciting though, I've been having a rest as I had a busy weekend.

This is a great magazine with freebies by Woodare. 

Look forward to playing with these.

A few new dies which I'm sure you'll get to see soon.

My busy weekend was spent at the craft show at Doncaster Racecourse.

I may not do so much sewing now but had to pop along to see what was on display.

This machine was very well behaved unlike some older embroidery machines we used to use!

I am so pleased to see these and the number of people interested.

Lots of fabric stalls too.

But that's enough for today.

So I'm done.

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,

Make it On Monday.

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

I am here today to show you a new journal page:

I started this weeks ago and then left it.

It's often a good idea to start something and then leave it for a while.

Then I decided it was time to do something with it.

This was quite relaxing and fun to make.

The design is often called Neurographic Art. very relaxing and fun to work on.

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.

The stream in the park has dried up which is very unusual and quite worrying.

And the frogs have taken to the water in the pond filter box, lucky frog I say!

The grapes are getting bigger and starting to drop down with the weight but although there are lots of them....

and Alfie is  checking for falls it doesn't mean we'll get any that are edible.

We did get a few last year but they were quite small so we'll see.

The bees are enjoying the flowers and we've put water bowls out for them too.

The cygnets are growing well. 

We hadn't been in the park for a while so it was a surprise to see how big they are.

Very little sorting done in the cabin this week as I need to be in there early in the morning before it gets too warm but I did find this amongst the collection.

Thought you might like it.

Daisy and Alfie have been wearing their cooler coats, I could do with one of these myself actually!

Have a great weekend everyone and stay cool.

 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 -892 - 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!

I had a bit of a tidy up with the exploding boxes though not sure you can tell as I just filled them up again with half made cards that I intend finishing......honestly I will do it!

I had a few half made Christmas cards that I found when sorting the cabin (the job is not finished yet!) so thought I'd have a rest and play with those.

They're made with napkin paper, screwed up and sprayed with glitter then attached. I just love these penguins.

Of course I can't leave without showing you the finished journal page from last week.

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 

and 
happy crafting,

Make it On Monday.

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

I am here today to show you a new journal page:

I made the background with a stencil and Distress Oxides and then added the fish stamp. 

The circling fish are part of the Altenew stamp set and the turtle and clown fish are from the die set.

They look fiddly to make but the way the dies are arranged in the packaging gives clear instuctions of what to cut and how to build up the image.

This is probably one of the simplest die sets I've used considering the details.

The other black fish are a stencil by Funky Fossil and the background a stencil by The Crafters Workshop which I layered in different positions to get the depth to the sea.

I found some vellum and stamped a sentiment on it and added it to the design. 

It's nice as it's translucent so doesn't block out any of the detail.

I finished the design with some Stickles Glitter Glue but then you might well have expected that Lol!

Just a quick close up and then I've done. 

Hope you like it.

I would love to hear your comments.

Many thanks for stopping by and happy crafting,
