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.


How pretty are they.
This was a visit to Downtown Grantham.


This is a very big store selling all number of things.


This little guy was watching us through the window.
We call him the lunchtime visitor, we also had aHerton visit but I was more bothered about getting rid of him than taking a photo. 
When you have a koi pond you really don't want heron's visiting.

Wednesday I was with friends teaching some card making.
They are not crafters but with some help they can make some nice cards.


Brilliant day and good to see everyone.
That's me bottom left (stood up).

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 - 910 - 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!


The desk is a bit different this week! 
Better watch out for those exploding boxes!



Forget the tidy organised desk, I'm trying to finish those Christmas cards with the One Sheet Wonder technique (instructions here) that I showed you in October but just kept getting distracted.
However those little snowmen are shouting to me. 
I'm trying to ignore them but we'll see.

So that's me done for today.

If I'm a bit late getting round please excuse me I will get to you but I'm teaching some friends today, they will be making Christmas cards if I can keep them on track!

Thanks for stopping by and hope you will pop over and visit the other desks.

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:


If you were around last week you will have seen this before. 
I seem to have an obsession for clouds and for the white bear so more Christmas cards using both.


Only slightly different from the last ones.


Thought some shiny scarves might be nice this time.


And a patterned scarf too.


The stamps are really useful as they can be bent into fit curved shapes.
Maybe something different next week, we'll have to see.

I would love to hear your comments.

Many thanks for stopping by and happy crafting,

I would like to enter this card in the following challenges:

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,
