WOYWW - 896 - 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!

Been working on a birthday card.

This is it finished.

He who will receive it will not be anywhere near here so it's fine for you to see it.

I love this stamp, it's very useful. 

By Honey Doo Crafts.

The background is also a stamp but can't remember at the moment what make it is. Good for backgrounds though.

On the side an old Dylusions stamp set.....now I might just have a play with that again soon.

I have been playing with some other old stuff too. Tim Holtz papers.

Looks a bit Halloweenish but I just thought they would look good in my Grid journal.

Not sure what I will finally do with these but it's very relaxing doing them as I don't really think much just cut, rip and tear then attach the bit's, add an image and some texture and that's your lot, just about.

If I'm stuck for a card, I just cut one of the grids and mount it onto a card blank, add a sentiment and you've got it made. Love it X

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 - Collage Grid Journal.

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

I am here today to show you more fun with my Collage Grid journal:

I have had this collection by Tim Holtz for ages and when clearing the Craft cabin I noticed them so here goes.

These would be great for Halloween cards.

After a lot of tearing and cutting and attaching the 

pieces I went over them with a stencil and silver embossing paste.

I like it but needed a little bit of colour so added some Stickles Glitter Glue too.

Time will tell how I use this and whether I add more colour, we'll have to see.

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 where I was last Saturday taking the class.

We were making a butterfly card not that we actually made a butterfly but the effect looks like one as it opens and shuts.

The ladies really enjoyed making this.

These are my samples.

Despite being tired after that full day we went to Heckington country show on Sunday.

Lots of fun for the children.

I went into the tents too. Beautiful flowers.

Very talented crafters.

Love these.

There are some very talented artists here.

Love the felting too.

These look like real buns but they are actually crochet.

Now these are real buns.

Nice cakes too.

It's great to see so many people getting involved.

Now these are real buns.

And to finish off for today, a great collection of vegetables.

That was one very busy couple of days.

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 -895 - 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.

This was my desk on Saturday.

And this is my display of the samples I made for the club.

These are called butterfly cards because of the way they open inside.

They are fun to open and everyone loved them.

The group were well behaved and made a great job of the project.

Such enthusiasm! but we did have time for chat too Lol!

And my desk at home looks like this.....

Not got round to tidying up since Saturday.

Sunday went to Heckington country fair so by Monday I needed a rest but there are one or two things on the desk you might like, amongst the mess.

Don't know if you've seen this before, I remembered I'd got it when sorting out some other stuff.

This is one of the cards I made for the craft club samples.

I made the papers with a stencil.

I like to scan them and then change the colours with a photo editing program.

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 Masterboard:

I think you may have seen me do something like this before, it's one of my favourite techniqus to use up strips of waste card that are too small but too good to bin.

There's just so much you can do with those small pieces.

I have plans for the finished masterboard, you'll have to wait for that as I've got a busy weekend but I'll be back 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.

We went to a party at the weekend and I completely forgot to take any photos, guess we were enjoying it too much. The weather was lovely and we all sat outside.

At least it's cooled down a bit here in Lincoln though still no rain but we're off to Heckington country show on Sunday so it will probably rain then! It still tremains the largest village show in the country.

The Dykes (man made drainage ditch) are very dry which are normally a very important part in Lincolnshire to control the water. 

Lincoln is very low with an average of about 9 metres above sea level so flooding would definitely happen without them.

You can see here that they are quite deep and generally they have far more water in  them. 

These guys are  doing some maintenance while the water is low. There are some smaller dykes too which usually surround fields and parks.

Some of the bigger ones were started when the Roman's were here so well done them.

What have I been doing?

Staying indoors when the sun was out.

Watering my friends lovely flowers as she's away this week.

Keeping my own veggies watered and the Bonsai too.

My artichoke is coming along nicely too.

And the grapes though, I think they could do with some water.

Getting ready for my class on Saturday at the Craft and Chat club. 

You'll get to see the cards I've planned for the class next week.

And some felting too this week.

These are Violet Webcap and yes they really are this colour though a little darker than they appear here.

If that's not enough we're off to Heckington Show on Sunday so looks like being a busy weekend.

Interesting walk round the park.

The Squirrels are increasing in numbers.

And we found this pebble, so cute.

The Wisteria have decided to flower again too, they obviously like the warm weather.

I'm going to finish today with a Schnazer smile.

And that's Schnauzers for you 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.
