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,

WOYWW - 907 - 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 needed a change this week so thought I'd have a go at using up some 12" x 12" papers using a One Sheet Wonder that I found on the internet.

I love these papers, they are double sided which is also useful for this project.

I will show you the cards when I've made them.

But fear not I do have a card to show you from last week's project.

Two cards made from the masterboard.

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,

Make it on Monday.

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

I am here today to show you another Christmas card and if you've got any of the Christmas ribbons lying around this is for you:

I bought a variety of these ribbons last year and never got round to using them.

So I got out this old embossing folder and some Kraft card to create the layer for the ribbon to go on.

Then applied some brown distress inks to the surface with a blending brush and splattered white paint which matches with those on the ribbon.

These are just a few of the collection waiting to be made into cards.

I attached a piece of red card to the Kraft card blank, mounted the ribbon onto a strip of red card and applied that to the embossed piece then onto the background card.

I felt it needed a little more to finish the design so added a few white die cut snowflakes which fit well with the ribbon design.

 I think that's about it for today. 

Don't get too excited but I may have a Masterboard on the way for next week! of course using up more forgotten craft stuff.

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.

Back to the craft Club again last Saturday. We had a lady called Elsa visiting to show us a card she had made using dies and broccoli........yes you heard me right.

We used the broccoli to pat glue onto the letters and then added the glitter and a little more on the rest of the card to represent snow drops.

These are samples made by some of the ladies.

They are a very delicate card and I think if I did them again I would add a darker colour to the die cut sentiment words so they would stand out more.

Other than that there has been lots of gardening happening.

We've been trimming the fruit trees and the weather has been kind to us too.

But still time for a walk in the park with the sun shining through thr trees.

Beautiful!

Even the swans are making the most of the warm weather.

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.

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!

Sorry! boring desk today as I'm busy trying to sort out the Cabin. I daren't let you in there as it's  a real mess right now.

The patterned Christmas paper is really old but hoping to use it soon. 

I'm working on C. Cards using left-over card bits too and I'm sure you'll get to see some of those soon. 

The Christmas ribbon is planned for a card as are the Christmas tree dies.

 I found the little packs of playing cards when clearing out the cabin but I have a plan for those too.......hopefully and you will probably recognise the die tucked at the back as it's a Tim Holtz by Sizzix.

Sorry I've nothing very interesting to show you but that's how desks are sometimes.

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

Make it on Monday.

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

I've been busy making Christmas cards, I know it may seem early but I have a class at the beginning of Novemeber to run and need to try and get ahead if I can as I know there are lots of other jobs to do at this time of the year.

Finished these now and they look like this......

Mounted onto coloured card and then onto the card blanks and of course a little Stickles Glitter Glue to finish.

I had a few that I added die cut trees on to them. Might make a few more of these. Another great way to use up that left over card.

I now have 32 Christmas cards at the ready.

Now what next? You'll have to wait and see!

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.

The weather's been lovely this week, mostly sunny and just a little rain which we need. The evening......

have arrived with the most gorgeous clouds.

These colours are quite amazing.

Christmas card making has taken up some of my time this week but also lots of gardening.

It felt like a great garden when we moved in years ago but it is hard work to keep it looking tidy.

Last week we had a day out to Rufford Park (Ollerton, Nottingham)

We've been visiting this park since they opened it in the early 70's. We started visiting it as they used to have some brilliant art exhibitions.

There still is a sculpture garden with some interesting art work....

even art work you can sit on.

This guy has got to make you smile.

This is the memory garden.

There's always something interesting to see.

And after walking round the garden you have to stop for a coffee and a bun at the cafe.

There's lots more to see but they are for next week, don't want to wear you out.

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.

I'm busy at the moment getting some Christmas card projects ready for my friends to put together when they have their class with me.

There's a mixture of card and paper here, Dreamees, Funky Fossil, The Works and Dovecraft. As I'm just starting a new card design I've not yet decided what to use.

I know that some of you don't make Christmas cards quite so early but I like to get these ready in plenty of time just in case!

So that's me done for today, well not really as I've got to go back and prep. more cards Lol!

If you're interested I'll show you the finished cards when they're all complete.

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 had a bit of a tidy up with the exploding boxes though not sure you can tell as I just filled them up again with half made cards that I intend finishing......honestly I will do it!

I had a few half made Christmas cards that I found when sorting the cabin (the job is not finished yet!) so thought I'd have a rest and play with those.

They're made with napkin paper, screwed up and sprayed with glitter then attached. I just love these penguins.

Of course I can't leave without showing you the finished journal page from last week.

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.

Make it on Monday.

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

I am here today to show you a card I've made based on this journal page:

I wonder if you remember this?

The mountains, clouds and some of the trees were drawn by me and the rest was added using stamps.

I liked it so much that I decided to draw another set of mountains but smaller. This is about 5" x 7".

I used the same stamps to complete the design and then decided it was a bit bigger than I wanted it to be so used Picasa (photo editing program)to size it down.

The card blank is 5" x 7" and the design was reduced to fit it. 

I added Stickles glitter glue and mounted the picture onto two shades of blue card before adding it to the card blank and a birthday sentiment.

This is a birthday card and I know you may think it would make a good Christmas card and the design may well appear like that at some time in the future but this is a birthday card for a friend who lives in the French Alps.

I know he'll love this.

And I would love to hear your comments.

Many thanks for stopping by and happy crafting,

So here is my desk for today! Though it has not changed since the weekend.

Sorry Mary Anne no journal page today though I have included instructions on Monday for the bauble page which can be found here. 

I have a few things to get out of the way before getting back to the journal.

You may think Christmas is over but here we have yet  more Christmas card production.

The Exploding box looks tidy though!

It's always about now that I like to make a few 

C. Cards ready for next Christmas and it's easier at this time of the year when I can still feel that Christmas vibe.

Sorry about the light shining on the plastic.

Tim Holtz Christmas trees and Snowflakes (they are around somewhere), Stampendous circular shape and an embossing folder though not sure what make that is. Finished with a sentiment and Stickles Glitter Glue and they are now waiting to be mounted.

The round thing in the box towards the rear left is a role of Christmas ribbon that I have a plan for.

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 but please excuse me if I don't get to you by the evening, I will get to you.
