Mini Christmas Wallet File.

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

I am here today to show you another of my favourite projects: 
This is a Wallet File.
I made this using Graphic 45 papers from the Christmas Carol set. I so love the gorgeous traditional colours.

This is the front with everything added.

The centre and flowers have been glazed with Glossy Accents and the berries with red Stickles Glitter Glue.

The instruction sheets below were something I wrote some time ago and just wanted to check them out again though to be honest I nearly always end up adapting them. 

So this was the first stage. 

I have taken more photographs though to be honest there is so much going on if I showed you everything it would just be too much to take in so here are the basics.

Started the Inner pages and attached the magnets which will be the fastening when the wallet is closed.

Central flap Pages Closed.

Open.

Back section started like this.

And finished here:

The inner sections completed.

Leaving room for photographs.

Stamped ATCs to decorate the centre, held in position by a belly band.

A few photographs added.

The wallet was completed with the addition of Stickles Glitter Glue, German Gold scrap, small white die cut snowflakes and ribbon.

I would love to hear your comments and hope you enjoyed looking.

Many thanks for stopping by, wishing you a lovely Christmas and a very happy and creative New Year.

As I wont be around on Monday, as you might have guessed, I'm posting this early.

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.

More walks in the park though some of them were quite wet ones this week.

The swans are still there and the cygnet is...... well not a baby anymore!

 My Vanda Orchid is flowering nicely.

Maisie and Stan are getting ready for Christmas though I'm not sure they're impressed with the suits but my mother will love them.

And the Christmas tree is looking nice too. If you look closely you may well see that it is covered in Teddy Bear ornaments, can't imagine how that happened! The fairy however is very old but my hubbies favourite and as he dresses the tree she keeps coming back.

And the squirrels are back.

Unfortunately so is the Mole, digging a little further along the garden.

I wish he would find somewhere else to dig.

Have a great weekend everyone and

 thanks for stopping by.

WOYWW # 498 - 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 in the middle of making birthday cards and a Christmas Wallet File which you will get to see all in good time but  for the moment they're under wraps.

The stamps that you can just see are by 'Dark Room Door' I so love their stamps.

The basket on the left is full of stamps and dies waiting to be used and popping up at the front on the left is a new Masterboard, everything else is more or less the same.

 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 - Christmas Cards.

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

I am here today to show you some last minute Christmas cards which are quick to make:

Not all Masterboards have to be made from scratch and for some of these I have used printed paper stock and then added more detail with stencils and stamps.

If you need something quick that's the way to go.

I added more  detail on the topper to match.

And if that's still too much because you really are on the 'Last Legs' then use the spotty paper as it is here and add some die cut Christmas trees and a sentiment and you're done.

Oh and don't forget to add the star too.

Sometimes simple is the way to go.

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.

And Christmas is on it's way. The garden always looks a bit dull at this time of the year so we need something to brighten it up but bet you can't guess from this photo what we've done?

Well everyone has to join in at Christmas so we've given the fish some fairy lights.

They look really lovely at night too.

Just managed to get some photographs before the light went.

The fish don't seem to mind.

Hope that made you smile a little. 

Have a great weekend everyone and

 thanks for stopping by.

And if you have smiles to share just leave me your link and I'll pop over.

WOYWW # 497 - 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!

Just a few of my final Christmas cards to be sent off just in time! but nothing else happening at the moment....at least nothing I can show you yet.

Just remembered that Heather commented about gluing these fine die cuts without getting glue everywhere.

I have two methods:

1. I have a small bottle that I fill with Cosmic Shimmer Glue and to this I attach a small metal spout adaptor (at the moment I can't remember where I got these from). 

I then apply the glue in tiny dots, if the die cut is quite small then I hold the piece with tweezers. Once you get used to it you can do this fairly quickly.

2. Is to place a thin layer of glue on a craft mat and pull the die cut piece through it which will pick up the glue.

And before I go... I received this gorgeous card from Shaz and Doug aka Shazsilverwolf. 
How gorgeous is that, lucky me! cos it's a beauty. Thank you so much Shaz xXx

 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,
