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.

Daisy and Alfie are here to wish you a Merry Christmas and hope it was a good one.

They wont however hang around for long as there's

playfighting to be attended to.

That was last weekend but on Christmas day we went to see my mum.

The care home always try to make things nice for everyone so today it was all set up for Christmas dinner.

In the hall you are met by baubles on the poster which were made by some of the residents.

I thought this was rather cute too.

Mum was in good spirit today.

Not bad for a 95 year old.

The care home are happy for you to take dogs in but we thought one at a time was enough so we took Daisy in this time after dinner and she was very good.

 

She's laid on the bed with mum, resting her head on the rail. I think she rather liked the comfy blanket.

This was yesterday!

I am beginning to think that somebody here thinks he ownes the place! 

He does look comfy though.

Hubby had left them for a while and this was what I found when I came back.

It's got to make you smile though.

I don't know how he gets into these positions!

When you look at him from the back it's even more interesting.

He doesn't look impressed that I've woke him up either.

But it obviously didn't bother him for long Lol!

Look at that face...the sign of perfect comfort!

Who needs funnies when you've got these two!

This dog has no respect for my furniture!

Have a great weekend everyone and

 thanks for stopping by.

And if you would like some more smiles you just need to pop over to see what our other friends have been doing this week at Annie's for
"This Week's Smiles" and you can also share your  smiles too.

See you in 2024.

Hugs Angela xXx

woyww - 760 - 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 the 
Stamping Ground, our host Julia will explain.

So here is my desk for today!

Not sure how many of you might be around today and not doing much myself, the desk is resting until I get chance to play with my new toy which you can see here.

As I'm sure you would expect there is very little going on here today.

I did have a bit of a tidy up and little reorganisation of some equipment that was getting in the way but other than that it's been quiet here.

The purple bag is part of my Christmas present. I wonder if you can guess what's inside? The colour might be a giveaway.

I will show you more next week.

Hope you've all had a lovely Christmas.

 Thanks for stopping by and hope you will pop over and join in the visits around the other desks.

 I'm off now to see what everyone else is up to and I'll see you here again in the New Year.

Have a great woyww 

and 
happy crafting,

Masterboard Monday.

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

My final Christmas card for 2023.

Hope you're all having a lovely day.

You've seen this Masterboard before.

You can find the details here:

Time to use up some of those die cut snowflakes too.

I would love to hear your comments but I'll let you off as you might be a bit busy today Lol!

Many thanks for stopping by this year and happy crafty Christmas and New Year too.

Friday FunDay 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.

This was Sunday at the Supermarket.

Makes you think it's Christmas!

Been to the Garden centre again, this time with friends.

I so love the Gnomes.

Now I wonder if you can see what position Alfie and Daisy have got themselves into?

Poor Daisy what she has to put up with.

It's not often you see Daisy from the back but her coat is interesting. It's quite unusual for a Schnauzer to have this stripe down their back. Her Mother was Black and Silver and her father Pepper/Salt so I guess she has a bit of both.

This was Wednesday.

Hubbies Christmas present, picked it up today.

Thursday went to pick up the Christmas cake for my mum.

A lovely lady we've known for a long time makes them, guess it saves me the job and it's a family tradition that her husband joins in with the mixing so I wouldn't want to spoil his fun!

Arrived just in time for me to show you. 

Mum's going to love this.

Hoping you all have a very happy Christmas, it will be all over by the time I'm back here again.

Have a great weekend everyone and

 thanks for stopping by.

And if you would like some more smiles you just need to pop over to see what our other friends have been doing this week at Annie's for

Sending Christmas hugs,

    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 the 
Stamping Ground, our host Julia will explain.

So here is my desk for today!

Hi all, not very exciting desk today. 

Think I lost some of my vigour after making all those Christmas cards.

Still got those printed Masterboard samples on the desk. 

The tag die is not new but not been used yet.

The box on top of the exploding boxes is rolls of foil and you can just see some old Tim Holtz stamps there too.

New crafty stuff. 

Some hot foil plates, guess what I'm having for Christmas! and the balloon dogs are from Spellbinders and Altenew.

And that's it really for now.

So that's me done really.

We're going to pick up hubby's new car this morning but I'll be back later to see what you've all been up to.

 Thanks for stopping by and hope you will pop over and join in the visits around the other desks.

Have a great woyww 

and a very happy Christmas.

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:

I've used a Visible Image Snowflake stamp for this Masterboard but rather than using the ink direct to the stamp I applied the ink to a stamping block, sprayed it with water and used that to stamp with which gives a slightly less defined finish rather like a watercolour effect which I like.

The set comes with some small stamps too which I stamped to create a more detailed background.

I've cut a piece to fit a 6"x 6" card blank and embossed it with a spotty embossing folder.

Splashed on some more ink, added the die cut sentiment and silver sequins.

I love the slighty messy appearance on this card and hope you do too. 

If you're like me and send quite a few cards this is quick to make once you finish the Masterboard.

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.

Well what the dogs have been up to really. 

This was the day it snowed over-night but it's gone now.

Alfie has never seen snow before and Daisy hadn't seen so much so it was fun for both of them.

Here they are having fun in the garden.

However.....

Alfie nearly ended up in the pond as he decided to walk along the edge that was covered in snow. 

He is obsessed by fish food.

That was enough out there in the cold so we went indoors and Alfie and Daisy have there Elf jackets on to keep them warm.

Not sure they are very impressed!

As usual Daisy got fed up first and decided it was time to go.

If you like seeing Alfie and Daisy you might lilke these too.

Schnauzers are very good at opening Chritmas presents...whether you like it or not!

They are very clever dogs as you can see.

And they can dress up as small reindeer to join in with the festivity.

They love to play oin the snow.

But best of all they love to be in the warm enjoying a cuddle and like it or not giving their loved ones a sloppy kiss.

Above all they are just too cute.

Have a great weekend everyone and

 thanks for stopping by.

And if you would like some more smiles you just need to pop over to see what our other friends have been doing this week at Annie's for

Happy weekend with hugs,

WOYWW -758 - 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 the 
Stamping Ground, our host Julia will explain.

So here is my desk for today!

As I've finished with Christmas cards for now I thought I'd move on to something different.

These birthday cards were made using scanned Masterboards.

You may remember seeing these before as I made the original some time ago (2019 actually and you can find the details here). 

The technique is called Faux Bleaching. It's messy but fun to do and I like the finisherd effect.

You can expect to see more fun with this Masterboards soon.

So that's me done for today.

 Thanks for stopping by and hope you will pop over and join in the visits around the other desks.

 I'm off now to see what everyone else is up to.

Have a great woyww 

and 
happy crafting,
