woyww - 908 - 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 our host Julia and she will explain.

So here is my desk for today!

Still working on the 'One Sheet Cards' but thought you might like to see this weeks Masterboard Monday card.

I've been making birthday cards, no wonder the boxes on the left are piling up with stuff.

Clouds are so useful for all kinds of cards but this is a Christmas card and if you want the details you can find them here:

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,

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:

Just had to get out the cloud stencils again but this time to make a Christmas card.

For this Masterboard you need several Blue Distress Oxides and a blending brush.

This was done on an A4 piece of card.

I like to scan and copy these so that I can make several cards and still have some left-over for another time. 

Great for Batch making.

And this is the first.

Diecut the bear and the base pieces then emboss the base pieces. I also applied a few stamped snowflakes and stickles glitter glue for added interest. 

I used a Sentiment stamp before embossing the base card. 

Layer this onto the cloud background and mount on to your chosen card blank. 

Finally I dressed up the polar bear and attached it to the snowy base and it's finished.

Cards like this only uses a small piece of the masterboard so there's plenty more left for another time.

I had to show this guy close up he's so sweet and I'm sure he'll turn up again.

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.

Hi all there's been stuff going on here but not many photos to show you.

Monday out with the girls for coffee and a good old chat (no wonder I forgot the photo).

Lots of gardening and still trying to get the cabin sorted.

This was a bit of a surprise but a beautiful one to find and smells lovely too.

We are being surrounded by magpies at the moment. For some reason they have always liked it round here and have obviously had a good year.

More tree pruning at the front of the house this time.

Gave this one a good haircut. Hubby says he's glad he's not a tree, I don't know what he means Lol!

This was hubby trying to work on the computer, Alfie had cuddled up by the side of him but Daisy decided she wanted that place so just climbed on top of him. Obviously no one intends moving and Alfie just puts up with it. I think he just likes her, she's nice and warm.

"This my place"! no no "This is my place"!

They will certainly be wanting to cuddle up today as they've had their hair cut.

I took this photograph as we were driving back from the town. 

I wonder if you can see the green thing.

It is real, this is not Ai and it's the start of 'Lincoln Big' when they set up lots of oversized blown up monsters around the town.

They should all be set up by the 26th October and it carries on until 1st November.

How crazy is that!

 Just to finish, here is some information you need to know if you have a schnauzer.

It's unlikely that you can get anywhere without being followed! though I have taught ours that they have to sit by the door!

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 - 907 - 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 our host Julia and she will explain.

So here is my desk for today!

I needed a change this week so thought I'd have a go at using up some 12" x 12" papers using a one sheet wonder that I found on the internet.

I love these papers, they are double sided which is also useful for this project.

I will show you the cards when I've made them.

But fear not I do have a card to show you from last week's project.

Two cards made from the masterboard.

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,

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:

You may have seen this as it progressed and now it's finished I've got round to making it into cards.

After scanning and altering the colours .....

we have cards.

Some die cutting, embossing, stamping, stickles glitter glue and layering it all up and there you have it.

Hope you like them.

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.

We had a bit of a shock this week when the electric suddenly went off and you might know it was late at night.

Hubby did the best he could in the dark and realised it was something to do with the cable going to one of the filters attached to the pond.

Nothing could be done until the follwing day and we could not have known what we would find!

I wonder if you can imagine what this little guy had to do with it?

So the following day we went to try and find out what was going on. 

Hubby opened the box where all the cables are pluged in and there it was a tiny newt that had manged to creep in through one of the holes where the cables entered the box and it had managed to cause the electrics to fuse.

He was still alive but seemed rather dozy and wasn't moving very much so I found him a nice dark and damp place under a stone in the hope he'd get over his mishap.

Having sorted that we went into the park for a walk.

We have so many interesting old trees there.

When we got back we sat in the conservatory as usual for coffee and our usual visitor arrived and of course turned away as soon as I got the camera out.

They are so cheeky!

As we are approaching Halloween I thought it was time for Daisy and Alfie to change their costumes.

That seems appropriate.

(Ai obviously)

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.
