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 was Heckington Show last Saturday.

This is a real country show unlike many in Lincolnshire that are just shopping and advertising massive tractors.

These pieces of garden decoration meet you as you enter the flower tent.

These are all part of the flower and vegetable show.

This is little Tilly who is happy for you to have your photo taken with her.

She's a sweetie.

And Tilly's owner also has this sweet little fairground musical organ.

I have more to show you but we'll leave those till next week.

That's probably enough smiles but I'll finish with some Schnauzer pics.

Schnauzers like to keep fit.

And they are very intelligent.

Capable of many jobs.

Great teachers.

And even mechanics.

However my two would sooner spend there day on the Sofa given half a chance.

I'd do that too if I could.

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.

WOYWW -843 - 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!

Stamps, glue, scissors, handbag, pretty cup.....bet you're wondering now!

Not my real desk, this was Saturday at the Craft Club but thought you'd like to see the card I made.

And yes I've used the cloud papers again for this and some lovely die cut balloons.

We'll be back to my real desk next week.

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,

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:

Yes more clouds!

It does have some Stickles Glitter glue on parts though I'm not sure it's clear here.

I make no apologies, I'm still loving the clouds.

I embossed the clouds with a Spellbinders embossing folder. 

(Sorry the colour is a bit brighter here, I think the light was different when I took the photo).

Instead of filing over the embossing, this time I rubbed over it gently using a blending brush with a very light amount of ink added.

The card below was made at the Craft and Chat club on Saturday.

I've die cut some balloons (Clarity Papers) to layer on the top.

Finished with a sentiment stamp.

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.

My lettuces are getting a bit overgrown they seem to have a life of their own but they do taste good.

The clouds have been gorgeous this week and very artistic, great ideas for my next Masterboard.

I was a bit surprised when I picked some of the beetroot, they are a differtent type

 than I usually grow and much lighter coloured.

I have some more photos on my phone but it's decided not to let me access them, maybe next week so finishing with some funnies.

When you feel under the weather get a schnauzer.

Now this is a big Schnauzer!

The giants are gorgeous but you will need a bigger sofa!

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

WOYWW - 842 - 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!

The exploding boxes are busy and there's a pile of stuff on the left too just waiting to be used but I've been busy making some quick birthday cards so everything else had to wait.

You may notice the waterbrushes at the back which are also waiting to be used but I have a plan for them.

And here are a few samples.

All you need is a 6x6 card blank, double sided patterned paper, stamps of your choice, stickles glitter glue and coloured gems.

I did make another card using the cloud Masterboard which you can see here if you would like to see it.

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,

Masterboard Monday Use it or Lose it.

     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 have already used part of this one and had a small piece left-over from the earlier project so thought I'd try a new embossing folder on it by Spellbinders to add extra detail. 

This was only meant to be a test piece but it worked so well that I decided to make it into a card.

I rubbed over the embossing with a file to remove the colour and show up the detail then layer it up with matching colours.

It's not easy to see it but the birds were covered in Stickles Glitter glue to help them stand out.

And a little detail for the inside.

The birds are from a set by Oakwood (Sunshine and Showers) and the sentiments by UNIKO.

I love being able to use up the leftovers and there's always a way. 

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.

I had a great day out at the Doncaster Craft show on Saturday.

There were lots of people there including a gang from Hobbymaker.

And it's not just paper crafting, if you like to sew you would love this show.

Great collection of fabrics.

This company had so much available that it was difficult to know where to start.

The layout was amazing and so much stuff.

You know those weeks when nothing really happens....well this has not been one of them!

Sunday we went to the fair in the park, lots of charities have stalls there.

Tuesday we went to Chapel St. Leonards near Skegness. 

It was heaven, so quiet and the dogs loved it too.

The cooler air was a pleasure.

This is where the Observatory is based and a cafe too. We had a bacon sandwich, very nice.

This is Alfie getting into his position for a rest after the walk.

I'm not sure how he stays on but this is his favourite spot.

Thursday we went to the Garden centre to get new walking trainers for hubby and of course breakfast in the cafe.

Finally a few instructions from our friends Alfie and Daisy.

And Alfie says:

And Daisy has something to add here:

They had their hair cut last week so I thought this might be what they're both thinking.

And finally:

Have a great weekend everyone and

 thanks for stopping by.

So here is my desk for today!

I had a great day out Saturday at the Craft Show at Doncaster and I'm still sorting out a few things that a bought.

Sorry about the glare.

 I have stamps, embossing folder and a stencil by Waffle Flower, UNIKO, Inkilicious and Spellbinders.

I'm sure you will see these again soon.

It's been uncomfortable here this week and standing at the desk has not been much fun but I did make a quick card with another of my cloud stencils and thought you might like to see it.

If you need it the details can be found 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.
