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.


Hope this is the last bit of gardening for now.


I've given the lilac trees a good trim as I don't think they were done last year.


This was last Saturday at the Craft and Chat club.

 
Making sweet little felt jumpers to use as toppers for cards.


They look like this when finished.

The Red Arrows are back now as it's the end of their season but it's quiet today. 
I know people love seeing them as we do but they are very noisy when they are continually flying over housing which I'm still not sure they are supposed to do.



Hope all my UK friends had an enjoyable/peaceful fireworks Night.


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 - 909 - 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
our host Julia and she will explain.

So here is my desk for today!
I have a few photos to show you but will try not to keep you too long.


Been making a special card for a special friend.
Please don't look too close at the exploding boxes!


We used to teach Art together so hoping she would like this birthday card.


They are so much fun to make and the magic comes.....


that they are completely flat for posting.


The background card is by AALL and Create. The tape and dies were from Temu.


The stamps are Art by Marlene.

I still have some Christmas cards to finish but Birthday cards have to be made when necessary don't they!

And 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

Make it on Monday.

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

I am here today to show you a card we made at the Craft and Chat club on Saturday:


Not something I would normally make.
But how sweet are they!

The jumpers were made with felt and cut with a die, the small embellishments too. 
I already had the little coat hangers but you can make them using paper clips.
Before putting it all together I did backstitch between the sleeves.

I embossed the background card and layered it onto a red card background and then on to the card blank.

The sentiments are Rub On transfers, also something I don't use very often but they applied easily and look good.

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.

Hi, hope you've all had a good week.


I love this card. We saw it when we took Daisy to the groomers. It's so sweet.


She also has two guinea pigs.


I don't think they were too impressed with us being there.


They both hid in their little dens.


I think this one has got his eye on me.


More photographs of the Lincoln Monsters.


I hope the weather's been okay where you are, it's been very windy here in Lincoln but I believe it's been even worse in other parts of the country.


I've been back to Ai again and Daisy and Alfie have a change of costumes today.
I think it really suits them but what do you think?


This was the original photo.
Daisy is the little one. 
She is such a madam!

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 - 908 - 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
 our host Julia and she will explain.

So here is my desk for today!


Still working on the 'One Sheet Cards' but thought you might like to see this weeks Masterboard Monday card.
I've been making birthday cards, no wonder the boxes on the left are piling up with stuff.


Clouds are so useful for all kinds of cards but this is a Christmas card and if you want the details you can find them here:


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,

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:


Just had to get out the cloud stencils again but this time to make a Christmas card.
For this Masterboard you need several Blue Distress Oxides and a blending brush.


This was done on an A4 piece of card.
I like to scan and copy these so that I can make several cards and still have some left-over for another time. 
Great for Batch making.

And this is the first.

Diecut the bear and the base pieces then emboss the base pieces. I also applied a few stamped snowflakes and stickles glitter glue for added interest. 
I used a Sentiment stamp before embossing the base card. 
Layer this onto the cloud background and mount on to your chosen card blank. 
Finally I dressed up the polar bear and attached it to the snowy base and it's finished.


Cards like this only uses a small piece of the masterboard so there's plenty more left for another time.


I had to show this guy close up he's so sweet and I'm sure he'll turn up again.

I would love to hear your comments.

Many thanks for stopping by and happy crafting,

Angela x
