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've been having a look at last year's projects, always like to review what I've done before starting the new year so here are just a few which I hope will make you smile.

Naturally I had to include a few of my favourite shrines made in 2016.

Steampunk.

 

 

Alice in Wonderland.

At least she will be when she gets out of there!

 

 

 

Brilliant retreat with Ali and Ian using Powertex.

 Canvas piece that I made for The Craft Barn.  

 

Another Powertex piece that I made later in the year, in my Greenhouse actually as it's nice and warm in there in the summer which is perfect for drying out the Powertex liquid.

 

 

And finally my last two Shrines for 2016.

 

 
 
 

 

Hope you enjoyed looking at some of my projects who knows what might come next.

 

Other than those I also took some photographs in the garden when we had a few days of frost but sun too.

 

The ducks in the pond were walking on ice though it didn't last very long.

 

 

So that's it for today, I'm off to see what everyone else has been up to.

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.

Back to the Craft Barn - Colour Blooms.

Welcome to all my new followers, hope you enjoy the journey.
Hi everyone just here to let you know this is another project for the Craft Barn and it's now Live.

Been working with Colour Bloom spray inks and texture mediums this week and here is the finished project. Loads of layers made with moulded embellishments, stencils, inks and stamping.

If you would like to see how I made this then pop over to
The Craft Barn for full details.

I would love to hear what you think about my project and any comments will be gratefully received.

Happy crafting,

WOYWW 396 # What's On Your Workdesk Wednesday.

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

Hi Workdesk friends. 
Here we are for another Wednesday at the Workdesk. 
I am here again to show you:
"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!

 

Nothing much different apart from the project.

There is an old bird punch on the right just behind the little yellow Pink Pig sketch book, Tim Holtz Crazy Cat die behind that and even older chair stamp that I've used on this card.

On the left towards the back is a bottle of Finnabair Sculpture Medium but I haven't used any of it yet.

I'm working on a card with the Crazy Cats. These are the new smaller type. Been using my new Oil Pastels to colour the cat and quite liking them.

The exploding box isn't looking too bad at the moment but can't promise it wont get closer to explosion soon Lol!

 

I am trying to use up some old papers from my stash so used a 12x12 sheet for the background of this card rather than one of my own Masterboards. I will post the card again when complete.

 

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 and Happy New Year xXx

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

I am here today to show you a few projects made with some of my Masterboards, just a little look back at a few of my favourite projects from 2016 before I get started with new stuff:

 

Do you remember this one?

Sad me keeping all those old car tax discs but how well they worked for this card.

 

Cover for a family journal, Tim Holtz style.

 

Fun with Seth Apter stamps and dies, love them!

I have lots more Seth stuff planned for this year too.

 

Had to include some Crazy animals, you have to love them!

 

Lots of scrummy texture here.

 

Stencil crazy cards.

 

Sorry these cats get everywhere Lol!

 

And a nice bit of collage to finish off.

 Hope you enjoyed that.

I shall be back later in the week with my dimensional projects from last year then we can get started with some new stuff.

 

 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 though you probably can guess but we have been walking the dogs too.

My little friend has been round again giving us his Christmas song.

 

The Wier has been decorated for Christmas.

And Stan is eating his Christmas present.

Looks like he's enjoying it!

 

 

This was Tuesday, a bit frosty in the park today.

This is a strange photograph as it makes the lead look really long and Maisie really small, strange!

 

Everything is quiet as the builders are on holiday.

 

Frosty in the garden too.

 

And Stan is here to wish you all a Happy New Year.

Maisie is around somewhere!

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

Stamping Ground, our host Julia will explain.

So here is my desk for today!

 

I'm working on a Birthday card at the moment though it's a bit slow getting going, been slightly distracted Lol!

 

The crayons on the right are new and hope to get some practice in with those soon.

The Crazy Cats at the back will be used with the new card and the Sheena Douglas stencil.

The exploding box is looking okay at the moment but not sure how long that will last!

 

Bit quiet today but sure you will understand.

 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
