Crafty Cardmakers Challenge # 224 Christmas.

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.

Mary is hosting today and our challenge is Christmas.

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 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 but it's been one of those weeks when I don't have much to show for what I've been doing but as you all enjoyed the dog photos last week I have a few more to show you.

This was Stan as a teenager, already much bigger than Maisie.

He had a habit of demolishing anything chewable.

Another cute puppy pic.

Maisie puts up with quite a lot, including having her beard inspected.

 I'm not sure what to say about these two photos. I'm sure he must have been comfy on the one above and the one below just makes him look like a little boy that can't keep his jacket tidy.

These two, I just like.

And finally one of Maisie as a puppy. She still likes to get on the stairs but not sure her head fits through there now.

I did take some photos in the garden too on Tuesday morning when we woke up to find the place covered in frost.

 Looks like winter might be on it's way.

 Hope that made you smile a little.

Have a great weekend everyone and

 thanks for stopping by.

 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 # 496 - 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!

Actually it's been like this for a few days.

I'm still making Christmas cards though nearly finished.

This is one I've used for inspiration which I made last year but never sent out.

I have made some more similar cards which you can see 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.

 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 these Masterboards or more left-overs actually.

When sorting through some Masterboards from last year I found these.

They were made using Distress Oxides, Paper Artsy stencils and Gel Medium.

This is the card that I'm using for inspiration also from last year but using a different background paper and a Tim Holtz sentiment stamp.

I used some sparkle card for the die cut image on this card and a black for the sentiment then added some blobs of Stickles Glitter glue in some of the circular sections.

 Green Mirri card for this one though photographing it is not so easy.

This is easier to see the sentiment which was layered with two different cards, one black and one glitter card.

Hope you enjoyed looking.

 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.

One of the things I have done is to collect photographs to make a New Year Calendar so I thought you might like to see a few pics that I found.

I'm sure these will make you smile.

This was Maisie being weighed.

How cute is that though she didn't seem impressed.

This is Stan warn out after playing with his sock.

Not that he's much different now! He certainly knows how to relax.

And this is the first meeting which you will have seen before on my blog page. Maisie was just a year old here and Stan just a baby.

They used to call him Fat Stan because he was so much bigger than the other puppies in the litter.

Other than that I've been trying to clear the leaves away in the garden.

To my surprise I found this!

I'm thinking you might guess what all this soil is unfortunately.

Yes we have a mole, just hoping he stays down here and doesn't dig up all the garden.

Last Saturday was good as I went to the Craft Club again and started making a new Christmas Wallet Book using Graphic 45 papers.

And we made this little Christmas card. 

How sweet is the little Penguin.

  Hope you've had a good week too and a great weekend to follow.

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 # 495 - What's On You 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 some Christmas Masterboards at the moment. 

Need to get my cards finished as the time is getting shorter, just don't know where it's gone!

 The other stuff on my desk is from Art From The Heart when they had their Black Friday sale.

Think I might have some fun with these, when I get the chance!

So that's me done for today but just a quick note before I go.

Some of you were asking about the fabric leaves I was working on.

I am not sure at this stage how the they will be used as they are part of a larger project called Beleaf which is an Art in the Community project. When they are all finished they are going to be put together to create one large piece some time in the New Year so like you I await with anticipation.

 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,
