Make it on Monday.

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

I have new projects to start the new month.

As I have so many patterned papers I decided it was time to do something with them and the easiest thing to start with are cards:

These are papers by AALL and Create and the butterflies too. 

I've not included a sentiment yet as this is going in the spare card box until I decide what it will be used for. Always good to have a card ready for that unexpected celebration.

This is a view of the card from above. If you are interested in this style of card I have instructions for making these here on the pages section above (Card Fold Techniques).

I have done these in two different sizes. The smaller card fits in a 4" x 6" envelopes and the larger fits in a 5" x 7".

The cards are finished with gems and Stickles Glitter Glue.

Men's Cards too, can't forget them can we!

These papers are by The Creative Craft Academy which sadly no longer exits.

And this one to use up some of my own stencilled background papers combined with some patterned papers also by the Creative Craft Academy.

This has to be one of my favourites.

Hope you like them.

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.

There's nothing like a beautiful flower to brighten the day.

I so love Orchids.

Daisy says hello.

As usual lots of dog walking and spring has sprung in the park.

Beautiful Primroses.

Daffodils showing their pretty faces.

The school children were in the park too with there teachers. 

They are so lucky to have such a great place to visit.

Even the trees are coming into blossom.

Fear not this is not the Uk this was sent to me by a friend who lives in France.

It looks so nice when you can stay at home and enjoy it right.

We actually did some gardening this week as we've had a couple of sunny days.

Other than that I've been busy making more samples for the Craft Club.

Tomorrow will be my first visit to the club since November. We don't have one in December and I missed January because of my cold so really looking forward to seeing everyone on Saturday.

And a few funnies to finish:

Well they might be funny it depends how you see them!

So that's who teaches them all the tricks!

And they have Dog walking tricks too. 

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 - 873 - 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'm still working on these pop-out cards but had to stop for a while as the exploding boxes was annoying me and decided we needed a tidy up.

I'm not sure there's a big difference but the good thing was that I found some stuff I had lost!

This is my collection of the pop-out cards so far.

I've used a variety of papers to decorate these.

If you are interested in making this type of card click here: Pages, and it should take you to the Craft Folds where you will find the materials list and instructions. 

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 review of 2025.

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

I am here today to show you a few more projects from last year:

Everybody's favourite the Fly Agaric.

And there little friend the snail, loved making him.

And this little fungi has been grabbed by a field mouse.

The hare is one of the earlier (very early) felted pieces I made.

These were interesting to make and are called

 'King Alfred's Cakes'

I decided it would be nice to have a baby Fly Agaric to finish off the group. It's interesting how these develop, hope I've shown you this here.

It's thanks to Sophie Wheatley for getting me back to this great craft.

I really need to get onto something new very soon! so watch this space!

Many thanks for stopping by and happy crafting, any comments will be much appreciated.

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.

I finally felt like going somewhere this week and we went to Meadow Hall in Sheffield just in time to use my voucher from Hotel Chocolat.

I am going to enjoy this.

A little lunch was the next visit at Massarella's, a lovely restaurant owned by an Italian family.

Interestingly they live close to the village where my family lived but that's another story.

I wonder if you can guess which shop has this large sewing machine in the window?

It's called AllSaints. 

A very modern and often grungy style of clothing for men and women.

Looking down from this shop to the ground floor.

My friend sent me these photos that she saw advertised.

I would have loved to see these.

Just a bit too far for a day out unfortunately.

That's about the interesting part of my week and a few funnies to finish.

That sounds like my two for sure.

All dogs take note of this in the frosty weather.

Now this looks familiar!

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 - 872 - 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 think everything is about to explode. 

This is what happens when I get loads of ideas swimming around and try and get all of them started before they disappear.

I'm going to be doing a class at the Craft group and need some samples for next month.

I've seen a card like this but without any instructions so been having a play with it to make a prep. sheet.

This is fun to make and I'm working on a few samples in different styles.

I love pop-up cards and this one is easy to make and goes flat for the envelope.

I will have an instuction sheet sorted for this soon and lots more samples then need to get back to my collage grids.

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,
