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 decided to go out on Tuesday as it was our Wedding Anniversary.

Nothing too special unless you like garden centres but it was a lovely day.

I love these guys.

These pieces of wood are interesting and are meant for fish tanks but bet I could have fun making things with them.

I can't resist checking the fish out but some of you wont be surprised at that!

Sorry about the light shining on the tank.

These were the outdoor fish mostly gold fish and a few small Koi.

Nice pond but couldn't see any fish.

Of course we had to have lunch which I might say was very tasty.

Other than that the grapes are starting to ripen in the garden.

But this makes them look much bigger than they actually are.

However, there are lots of them.

A few walks in the park to finish off today.

oo0oo

I know some of you have been wondering about something I mentioned about feeling dizzy, I'm seeing the doctor today as it's not gone away but all the tests they did at the hospital were clear. 

I have my suspicions, fingers crossed we get to the bottom of it soon.

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 - 899 - 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!

Everything is a bit in turmoil on my desk today.

I'm still trying to sort out the new laptop and back to the old one today...wish me luck!

I'm sorting through a few papers to make a new masterboard.

Chosen a collection by Clarity stamps which should make Sarah happy.

Started by ripping them up and arranging them on a sheet of white card but don't worry I'll let you see how it ends up.

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 the start of a new journal page:

Yes she's back with the cloud stencils again.

Thought I might as well do two pages while I was at it but you will have to wait until I've decided what else will go on here to finish them but I have a plan....honestly.

Back soon.

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 had lots of rain this week which we needed so not much going on in the garden but we did go to the Fishfarm and guess what we arrived home with a new fish.

 

I love visiting this fish farm it's such a lovely relaxing place.

You can't really see how big these boys are but trust me they were big.

These are a bit younger and more my price range.

It's not just that but I like to see them develop too.

And this is what we came home with as I don't have a yellow fish.....well I do now and he/she is settling in nicely.

While I was in the garden I noticed this.........

I wonder if you can see who's in there?

Hubby thought he was stuck in there and got him out but he obviously likes it because he came back so we've tipped it up slightly so froggie can get in and out as it likes.

Other than the fish farm we joined some friends for an afternoon of smiles.

This was just as everyone was leaving but it was a lovely day.

The hat is mine. I've had that for years but you have to take care of it as it's made of paper.....who would have thought that.

If you haven't seen it before you might like this.

Another of my Ai pics.

Though at the moment this one might be more appropriate...

What do you think?

This may be the last time I use this laptop as I have another one about to arrive as this poor thing is not behaving well. Despite having some work done on it about a year ago it's playing up again so not spending anymore time or money on it I'm afraid.

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 - 898 - What's On Your Workdesk Wednesdasy.

        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 exactly as what you might have expected to see here but I've been working on my Ai pictures again and thought they might make you smile.

Here are Daisy and Alfie enjoying the sunshine.

And here is the original photograph.

So what do you think?

I did make a card out of the cloud masterboard from last week.......

How's that?

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

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:

If you were around last week you may have seen this before.

If you didn't the information for making it can be found here:

The next part was to make the balloon dogs that I planned to use for the decoration of the card.

This is a stamp by Kate Crane which I then heat embossed which gives a good black line when the colour is added.

Used Tim Holtz watercolour pencils to colour and finished with Stickles Glitter glue on the eyes.

And so to putting it all together. 

I've cut out a piece of the cloud card and edged it with blue ink but you could layer it onto blue card too.

Not sure how clear this is but I stamped the sentiment onto a piece of clear Vellum and folded it round the design. 

Next I added the gold cord to the balloon dogs before attaching them to the cloud design and then to the card blank.

I couldn't resist adding another dog to the inside and a nice sentiment.

I had splattered the clouds with white paint but just felt it needed something else so added a few sequins too.

And that's all for now.

Hope you like it, I would love to hear your comments.

Many thanks for stopping by and happy crafting,
