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.

Daisy and Alfie are here today to welcome you.

Now how did that happen!

You turn your back and they've become Steampunk dogs.

This is the original photograph.

By now you might have guessed.....

I've been playing with Ai, completely new for me so this was a pleasant surprise as I had no idea how it would turn out.

I'm sorry dogs but there may be more of these to follow, just having fun with this.

I think it suits them but what do you think?

If you look at the photograph down the right side of my blog you will see 'Welcome Alfie' he is the smaller of the two dogs and now he's the bigger one to the left of the photograph above.

Don't be mistaken though.....Daisy's the boss!

So to the park.

Beautiful flowers.

And these little beauties popping up in my garden too.

I haven't much else to show you today so I'll finish now, I'm on my way to take the dogs to the groomer but I'll catch up with you soon.

I can relate to this one!

And whoever came up with this definitely know Schnauzers.

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 - 876 - 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've been meaning to do this since we came back from France but one thing and another and I didn't get round to it until now.

A little memory of the French Alps in my Ledger Journal.

A combination of inks, paints and Tim Holtz watercolour pencils.

I'm only half way there but it should be finished when I see you next week.

I did have a play with Ai too which was interesting.

This was the original photograph of Alfie and Daisy.

And this was the Ai edited photograph.

So that's me done for today nice and quick just how we like it.

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 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

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,
