Crafty Cardmakers Challenge 223 - Anything but a Card.

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.

Hi I'm hosting today and our challenge is 'Anything but a Card'.

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:

I made this using the Eileen Hull wrap around journal die. To this I added stencils and stamps by Dylusions and Tim Holtz.

I applied the detail to the masterboard using embossing paste and a stencil when this was set I applied the colour using Gelatos rubbing it back slightly to reveal the detail.

Die cut using the journal die and then stencil the inner section.

Colour with Gelatos.

To complete the cover I rubbed over Pebeo gilding wax.

The pages for the inside were cut using the Eileen Hull Passport die.

Stamping using Dylusion stamps and the images heat embossed.

Cut out the sections which will be attached. 

I used a ball tool to round the head a little before attaching with 3D stickers.

Once all the pieces are ready it's time to attach everything.

I added some ribbon to the tag, some small brass embellishments and glazed the face so I apologise for the slight glare.

I decorated some of the pages for the inside and added Dylusion stamped sentiments.

 So there you have it all completed.

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.

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 this week has been just as manic as the last one I have managed to take a few photographs on the way.

Saw this in the park on Thursday.

How clever is that hand sewn on a real leaf, love it!

We've had a few nice walks in the park.

The whole place is covered in leaves at the moment which helped me with my own leaf project for the Lincoln Art Ninjas.

So plenty of inspiration there.

 And here is Hendrix one of my doggy friends and a real sweetie.

 More squirrels too. 

This one was eating a mushroom, just hope it's not the magic variety.

And to finish of with a smile, here are Maisie and Stan in the newly decorated bedroom.

Note the matching fleecy jackets! which coordinate with the furnishings.

Coincidence really as they've had these for ages.

 These photographs make them look a bit like book ends.

They are a funny pair and don't like to miss out on anything that's going on. It's also interesting that they seem to copy each other a bit like a mirror image.

Anyway that's about it for today.

 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 #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

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 

and 
happy crafting,
