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.

It's felt very strange here this week as the dogs are in kennels and it's been very quiet though I have got lots of jobs done.

Normally we would have been away this week so booked them in earlier this year as the kennels are always busy at this time of the year so we've been out and about without them.

They are going to be there for two weeks but you'll find out soon where we are.

They like it there as they can bark and run around as much as they like but will probably be scruffy when we get them back.

So I will be quick today and finish with some funnies.

Please be aware these are Schnauzers but not Daisy or Alfie. 

I have more sense than to leave them alone.

    

Have a great weekend everyone and

 thanks for stopping by.

If I'm late getting to you please forgive me as I may not be at home today and that's all I'm saying for now.

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.

WOYWW - 847 - 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 said the clouds were being packed away but just had to do one more journal page first.

You saw this on my desk last week and here it is finished.

I have details of how to make this here:

The real today's desk is here.....

I've packed the cloud stencils away and got the sea stencils out.

The ledger page is ready for the next stage and the exploding box is filling up. A whole row of stickles glitter glue at the back there and some new Mini Distress Oxide inks on the left and almost forgot, some glitter paste on the right from Funky Fossil.

And that's me 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,

Make it on Monday.

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

I am here today to show you another journal page using the cloud stencils. 

I just love this Ledger journal.

I had so much fun making this:

Prep. the journal page with Washi tape and apply the clouds with a stencil and Distress Oxide inks. 

This one was a Waffle Flower stencil.

To make the rainbow all you need are circular nesting dies. Cut the circles in the different sizes with the appropriate colours and add the next smallest die to cut the card to create the rings.

These are the colours I've used.

With the largest circle (Red) I have only cut the small centre piece and then used the rest of it to attach the rings in place.
 

Once that's completed you can cut this in half.

This is such a simple way to make a rainbow without having to buy any special dies. 

I first saw it done years ago in a magazine and almost forgot all about it until I decided to make this journal page and I'm sure the technique will appear here again and the spare rainbow too.

The sentiments (Studio Light) weren't too easy to read so I've enlarged those for you.

To finish this I've added some die cut clouds cut out with Studio Light dies, stamped raindrops and added spots of Stickles Glitter Glue and that's it.

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.

Most of the time over the last couple of weeks has been taken up with work on the car that is the MGB.

Husbands can be quite useful at times! though actually I think he enjoys it, you have to keep your hand in with stuff like this. 

It's actually getting more difficult to find mechanics who know how to work on cars this age and welders too.

Hubby says it's the 25 year service (we've had the car for about 46 years) and he is very good at keeping an eye on it and decided there are things that should be replaced so we had a visit to MGB Hive to get the replacement parts and I came back with a couple of gifts too, they are nice people who love MGs.

It's a bit sad though as they have many MGBs sat around in the yard that have been left to rust away.

Someone loved these at some time and now they look like this!

I am just thankful that there are still plenty of these that are cared for which is why this company are still doing so well.

I do not intend to let this happen to my girl.

In the park this week the cygnets are doing well.

And these beautiful flowers despite the  dry weather.

More  Damsons than we've ever had before.

This is the second large bowl full and lots more to come.

Thought I'd finish with some car funnies:

Just a warning, none of this is adviseable.

I think not!

I don't think she will be very happy but they mean well.

And I hope my car never ends up like this though the MGB Hive have plenty they could turn into chicken runs.

Have a great weekend everyone and

 thanks for stopping by.

woyww - 846 - 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 this looks almost tidy!

Oh dear! clouds again!

The exploding box isn't too bad, nothing much different, there's a stamp at the back by Visible Image that is useful with clouds as it's got paper aeroplane stamps as part of the kit.

Another journal page this week much darker colours, it's looking like rain!

I love the pages in this Ledger journal, the text just adds so much to the detail.

A dull background like this needs some colour for sure and you'll get to see it soon but for now:

This is the one you saw last week and now it looks like this:

Lots more colour!

You saw me starting it last week and here it is finished.

Details are on the Monday post here:

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

Make it on Monday.

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

I am here today to show you what I've been up to but surprisingly not a card or a Masterboard but journalling today:

My new Dina Ledger Journal just has to be used so obviously it had to be clouds......sorry yes that's more clouds!

Washi Tape around the edge to start off and the Cloud stencil, this one is by Lawn Fawn.

Distress Oxide inks and the stencil and applied the colour with a blending brush.

I love this already.

I removed the washi tape but you can leave it on if you want, depends on what the plan is to complete it.

I added some Stickles Glitter glue at this stage.

And then had a play with some Die cut balloons while the glitter glue was drying.

I used some Clarity card to die cut the balloons.

And this is how I finished it.

The sentiment is Art by Marlene for Studio Light.

Be sure there will be more to follow in the journal soon.

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 recently.

These are the last of the photos from my day out at the Heckington show.

We're outside this time.

This is the group doing this year's Medieval 

re-enactment.

And of course we have to have tractors. These are old ones, the new ones are much bigger but it's nice to see these still actively in use.

Probably one of my favourite exhibits are the classic cars.

This is one of my favourites the Austin Healey.

And of course fun for the children too.

It looks a bit dull here but it was actually a good day, not too warm for the dogs and no rain.

This was a sweet little engine.

They're all very popular here.

Working all kinds of things.

Of course you can't have a country fair without animals. These sheep are very special to Lincoln and known as Lincoln Long Wools for obvious reasons.

And of course there was some shopping too.

I could have shown you lots more but I think that's enough for this year.

Except for a few sheep funnies:

Well it seemed appropriate Lol!

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.
