Make it on Monday.

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

I am here today to show you a collage card with a rotating mechanism, now that's got to be fun!:

I made this as a sample for my dear friend Cindy.

The design was done on a 6" x 6" card blank.

It was a quick card to make as I used some printed paper to cover the card blank then diecut the Tim Holtz cog dies (Sizzix) and used those to decorate the inside.

The front has a few rub-ons by AALL and Create and I used some washi tapes too. 

The whole thing was finished with Stickles Glitter Glue to give it some sparkle.

Hope you like it short and sweet today.

I would love to hear your comments.

Many thanks for stopping by and happy crafting,

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 been watching Crufts this week and so has Daisy!!!

She just sat there watching.

First she watched the agility, she was very impressed.

She could not take here eyes off the TV.

Not a sound from her either.

Next the flyball.

She sat there mesmerised.

She will watch the TV when she sits on the sofa with hubby but never known her sit here to watch the TV.

And Alfie's opinion.....

Bored with that!

The cushion should read sleeping in Progress!

He even looks grumpy.

Google says:

A "Grumpy look on a dog often characterised by a furrowed brow, droopy eyes, or tight lips -is:

a way for them to communicate discomfort, stress or simply to show that they are not in the mood for interaction.

Sounds about right!

But he does like a walk in the park...

And there was plenty to see this week.

Great Fungi.

Other than that we've been to Downtown (Grantham) again for a bit of shopping pleasure......well it was for me at least.

And a nice lunch too:

Scrummy!

Nice Cafe too.

And yesterday met up with the girls again (retired teachers having fun).

Too much talking and forgot to take a photo which I usually do Lol!

And a few extra smiles to finish.

Bet that was fun to make.

Not by me by the way.

That explains a lot Lol!

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 - 875 - 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 to make a man's card this week and just couldn't decide what to do so he's getting a birthday cake.

I have had this stamp for a while so it's good to see it out and being used.

I stamped it a few times because I couldn't decide how I was going to finish this.

So I have fussy cut pieces from the stamped images and collaged them together attaching them over the one above.

Next is how to finish the card off?

This would have been easier had I decided to do this at the beginning but no problem I masked the cake and then stamped the sentiments, allowed it to dry and then edged it with green ink, mounted it over black card and then onto a white card blank.

I think it will do!

Finishing it with Stickles Glitter Glue.

So that's me done for today.

But due to a special request this is just for Mary Anne.......

I'm not really sure whether Mr Hare has been on full view here before but he's certainly been around so here is a better view for you Mary Anne and his friends the mice and Shooman.

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 card made using one of my favourite fold techniques:

I have lots of printed papers and these cards are a great way to use them up.

The papers above are by Stamperia.

 

And these are by Crafter's Companion.

These cards are much bigger than the earlier cards which fit envelopes, 4" x6" and 5" x 7". This one fits 6" x 9".

If you missed my samples from this technique last week you can find them here:

I have definietly fell in love with this fold......she says until the next one!

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.

Apart from the usual shopping and cleaning this happened!

It's only once a month that we get together but what a brilliant day it is!

I made these Pull-Out Fancy Fold Cards which some of you may have seen earlier in the week.

So pleased with these.

We've had some lovely days this week too so been gardening and the dogs love this as they get to stay outside longer.

Can you see someone by the fence. He likes it over there as it gives him a good view of the garden.

He brought little dog out with him and found a nice stick to chew.

Daisy's around somewhere but who knows what she's getting up to.

The Koi are all getting more active.

The white one is giving you the look as she wants her dinner!

The daffodils are looking good.

And the sun is warming up the cabin too, it doesn't know yet but it's got some sorting out coming very soon.

So that's it for this week so a few funnies to finish.

Or even in the garden!

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.

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 that looks more like it, a mess! 

I'm busy making more card samples. 

The little box on the right has new washi tape in it and on the left some 12" x 12" patterned papers.

The cards are different from the ones you saw before, a new pop out card for me.

I have more samples on my Monday post here:

And instructions for making here:

And I do have this pretty fungi that I started last week, it needs a little more work to finish it though.

This is a Tawny Grisette.

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.
