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've been away for part of the week and only just got back so although I have lots to show you it will be next week for it all appears but here's a clue.

We've been out on our travels to see some old friends that my hubby used to work with in a very different part of the country.

If you know anything about Lincoln where we now live you will now that we don't have hills like this as most of Lincolnshire is very flat.

Some of you may recognise the Cat and Fiddle which is well known in this country as it stands at the top of the peak District and is much loved by walkers. 

This will explain it better......

The Cat and Fiddle Inn is a former public house in the English Peak District, close to the border between Cheshire and Derbyshire. It sits on the A537 road from Macclesfield to Buxton, which runs across a high and remote area of moorland. A section of the road is known as the "Cat and Fiddle Road" after the inn. The building is some 1,689 feet (515 m) above sea level, and it was the second-highest public house in Britain before it closed in 2015 (the Tan Hill Inn in Yorkshire is slightly higher).^[1] In 2020, it reopened as a distillery, shop and bar.

And here we are arriving at Maccelsfield.

More to follow next week.

The dogs were pleased to see us back as they have been in Kennels for a few nights.

Daisy's examining the garden to make sure everything is as it should be.

See you again 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 - 879 - 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 will do my best to visit as many as I can this morning but I will not be at home for a while so it may be later in the day or even tomorrow but I will get to you.

This was actually my desk at the weekend and if you were here on Monday you may have seen this already.

I've not really done much as regards Easter cards this year so thought I'd do something in my Ledger Journal.

The images are 'Art by Marlene' but if you want more information you can find it here which is the post below this one.

Hope you've had a nice Easter. 

For those who haven't heard, I've got my Laptop back which was fixed by a great guy locally and much cheaper than Currys wanted to do 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 new journal page:

It's a while since I used the cloud stencils but now seemed like a good time.

The stencil is by Waffle Flower, inks are Tim Holtz Distress oxides and the images Art by Marlene.

The sentiment is by Appleblossom designs and the little birds were drawn by me!

I completed this with a little pencil shading and some Stickles Glitter glue.

Hope you like it.

I would love to hear your comments.

Many thanks for stopping by and happy crafting,

Happy Easter,

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.

At the Craft Club this week.

 

 

If you were around on Wednesday you will have seen some of this.

Great company and a lovely place to craft too.

 

 

We were making Peekaboo cards.

 

How much fun was that.

 

And a nice surprise.

 

 

This was the card I entered for the challenge:

 

Seems to be all crafting today but I have been out in the garden too.

  

 

Gorgeous Camellia coming back to life. Ours are a bit later than some as it's a quite shelted where they are so they don't get so much sun.

 

Pretty tulips.

 

 

Fruit trees coming back to life too.

 

And my Bonsai are waking up. You have to be careful at this time of the year as the soil can start to dry up when the sun comes out.

 

And finally.....

 

Here's Alfie, he was watching me type this but obviously decided it's all too boring so he decided to sit on the bottom of the stairs in the sun which shines through the window of the front door.

He knows all the best places. 

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 - 878 - 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 working on a borrowed computer at the moment as my laptop is not at all well but will do my best to keep in touch with you all.

 

Anyway this is my desk for today.

 

 

You might have guessed by now that this is not my usual desk but the one I have at the Craft and Chat club which was Saturday.

 

 

This was the beginning before everyone arrived as the tables were full later on, it's a lovely church hall.

 

 

We were making Peekaboo cards.

 

 

So much fun, I'll be making more of these for sure.

 

 

When you open the card the inner part moves forward to show the hidden section. I've stamped my sentiment there.

 

This card was made with Stamperia papers, sticky backed fish, die cut tentacles and Stickles Glitter Glue.

 

I will be putting the instructions for this card on my blog very soon......when my laptop returns or the new one arrives!

So that's me done for today, nice and quick.

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,

Update! the laptop is done for! sadly, so I need to look for a new one. I will be out part of the day but will be back to check on you all later.

Make it on Monday.

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

I am here today to show you a new card despite my Laptop deciding to give up, so working on a borrowed computer but will do my best to be here:

 

 

These are Peekaboo cards and so much fun to make.

One is made using some free Alice papers from a magazine and the second one is sea based papers by Stamperia with some fish stickers and diecut octopus tentacles.  

The folds work so that when you open the card the inner part moves forward to show the hidden section part of the card, I attached a sentiment on this one and an image to the other.

 

I finished these with Stickles Glitter glue and gems. 

I would love to hear your comments.

I have instructions for making these cards if anyone is interested. Find them here: 

Many thanks for stopping by and happy crafting,

Angela x
