WOYWW #494 - 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!

Due to other distractions the only thing I've worked on this week has been the leaves so nothing very exciting I'm afraid.

 I've done both sides. One side actually looks like a leaf and the other side is decorated with insects.

So that's me done for today nice and quick.

 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 some left-over Masterboard:

You may remember that I made these a couple of weeks ago and used the black and white to create a Christmas card.
Today I'm showing you how I used the coloured pieces.

 

Left-over from an earlier project it looked like this:

 I seem to have a thing for Kraft card at the moment and decided to stamp straight onto the Kraft card blank using the house stamp.

I then fussy cut the houses on the coloured card and separated some of them so that i could arrange them across the card for added interest.

Finished the design by adding a sentiment , Shine Bright by Visible Image and Stickles Glitter Glue in the windows..

  But I didn't stop there as I still had more of the card left so I ripped it down one side to give a grungy finish and attached it to the card blank and added the Stickles Glitter glue again.

The New Home stamp was a freebie from a magazine.

You can see here that I left the torn side loose to give more dimension to the card.

It's simple but just adds more interest and the sentiment is only attached on it's left side.

I'm really enjoying working with these stamps so you can expect to see more soon. 

I would love to hear your comments.

Many thanks for stopping by and happy crafting,

Friday Fun Day.

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 didn't want to miss seeing you all though my week has been a little uneventful due to the number of visits to see Mum and Dad but pleased to say they will both be home today all being well. 
Between sorting that we've been busy decorating one of the bedrooms which has taken longer than it should due to lack of time but it's nearly finished which is just as well because the new curtains and blinds arrive next Tuesday. 

But I do have a photograph to show you which should make anyone smile.

Stan doesn't like being left out so he had to join in with the decorating.

I had to do a close-up just to show how comfy he was resting his head on the dust sheets.

However he did move.....once! but not very far!

We call this position 'The Flat Frog' but don't ask why Lol! because I've no idea.

Maisie on the other hand kept well out of the way, don't think she's

 into decorating!

So not much there but should bring a smile to your face.

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 # 493 - 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!

I'm working on decorating some fabric leaves for the Beleaf  in Community Project which is to try and bring people together through art and other projects.

As I've had these for a while I thought I'd better get them done.

The two stamps are by Indigo Blu and turned up when I was having a sort out. I have to say that I have never used these which I can't believe, how bad am I! 

Finally these which are not actually on my desk today but though you might like to see this Masterboard.

This is what it looked like when completed.

Somebody who should be around today might just tell you what I used this for Lol! though you might have an idea by the space that was left without detail.

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

happy crafting,

Crafty Cardmakers #222 -' Lots of Layers'

Welcome to all my new followers, hope you enjoy the journey.
Hi! back again to tell you that it's time for another challenge over
at Crafty Cardmakers.

Judy  is hosting today and our challenge is  Lots of Layers .

As usual you can enter anything you fancy, it doesn't have to be cards, as long as it meets the challenge. 

Hope you will join in.
And here is my project for the challenge:

This is a Christmas card with a difference. 

Created on a Kraft card blank.

Lots of layered trees, die cut deer both using Tim Holtz dies. 

Heat embossed snow which was splattered paint with white embossing powder. 

Die cut tag also with Tim Holtz dies.

A layered sentiment and the matching coloured gems complete the design.

The trees and one part of the layered tag were die cut from this piece of card which had been coloured using Distress Oxides and left-over from an earlier project.

  The other die cut pieces were from this Masterboard which was made using a snowflake stamp and heat embossed with white embossing powder by WOW.

 I hope you will pop over to see what the rest of the DT have been up to and maybe join in the challenge.

I look forward to seeing what you come up with too.

 Happy crafty card making.

Friday Fun Day.

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 been a bit difficult to get much done as we've been trying to sort out stuff for my parents but I have a few photos that you might find interesting. 

Not sure what was so interesting but Maisie obviously thought there was something in there.

Lots of beautiful pumpkins.

And if you don't know what to do with these how about this....

We found this in the park. Someone has been very imaginative with their art work, it's certainly different and made me smile.

This lady was in the care home where my father is at the moment.

She is quite scary looking but the oldies didn't seem to mind and she has a lovely toothy smile.

There was a funny thing that happened while we there. 

The staff had decorated everywhere with pumpkins, witches, skeletons and spiders.

Outside one of the toilets there was a full size skeleton against the wall. My husband was waiting to leave when one of the residents walked up to him, looked at the skeleton and then said "Is there a queue for the toilet?" 

I don't think she was joking either!

Something else we found in the park this week.

 It is approximately 298 miles from Fife to Lincoln so this little pebble has travelled a bit.

And finally, not something any of us would want to happen.

We had a lot of wind some weeks ago and a tree fell on this bungalow, they have just got round to removing it.

Sorry the photos not too good but took it in the car as we passed.

That is a scary thing to happen I'm sure you will agree.

Stay safe everyone and have a great weekend,

 thanks for stopping by.
