WOYWW - 845 - What's On Your Workdesk Wednesday.

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

Hi Workdesk friends. 
We are here for another Wednesday at the Workdesk and here is:
"What's on my Workdesk this Wednesday".

If you don't know what this is all about then please visit Sarah's Craft Shed and our host Sarah will explain.

So here is my desk, this was Monday!

I decided I needed to open the new ledger journal. That's a cloud stencil you can see on the top and I've  placed Washi tape around the edge before adding the detail and the Oxides and brushes are at the ready.

This is today and you'll get to see the finished page soon and hopefully more to follow.

I've also made another card which may look like the one you saw last week but it was made in a different way with a cloud die instead of a stencil and the details are on the Monday post here: if you're interested.

I used the water brushes on my desk to colour the balloon dogs.

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,

Make it on Monday.

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

I am here today to show you a card made with cloud dies.

I've named this post differently today as this is more of a background than a Masterboard.

You might have guessed what I've been doing here!

If you're fed up of seeing clouds then I'm sorry but there's more here today.

No stencils though, cloud dies this time and started by cutting out several strips.

If you're interested Lawn Fawn do a nice cloud die set though this one was by a company called Sunny Studio.

I coloured them with Distress Oxide Inks and then had a play around at positioning them.

This is a slightly different arrangement from above but you can photograph the layout you like best and then use that to position and glue them down.

I coloured the top of a piece of card with ink and then arranged the clouds starting at the top, glueing them down each time. 

I did add a little more ink at the bottom to finish it off.

I have made two of these as the first one was too thick when the clouds were layered up, so your choice of card for the clouds needs to be quite thin or it's difficult to trim and tidy up the edges.


And this is where I ended up.

Stickles Glitter Glue dabbed on, Kate Crane Balloon dogs and a simple sentiment and the cards complete.

I left the clouds slightly open at the top edges so that I could fit the balloon dogs in some of them.

Hope you like it.

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.

These are growing in my garden and getting bigger than I've ever seen them but it's unlikely they will ripen.

Still have a few photos of the Country Fair at Heckington.

We're inside the tent today looking at the Art and baking competitions.

Photography.

Sewing and knitting samples.

Gorgeous cakes.

They look scrummy.

Daisy and Alfie were well looked after too.

It's good to see that shows make sure our friends can get a drink too.

I have a few pics left over but will show hyou those next week.

Just to finish off I found these.

Some people are obsessed with Schnauzers and even make cakes with schnauzer faces.

And a couple of cartoons pics.

They are so sweet.

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 - 844 - What's On Your Workdesk Wednesday.

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

Hi Workdesk friends. 
We are here for another Wednesday at the Workdesk and here is:
"What's on my Workdesk this Wednesday".

If you don't know what this is all about then please visit Sarah's Craft Shed and our host Sarah will explain.

So here is my desk for today!

I don't want to be boring with this but you will guess from the colours that I'm making clouds again!

You know those times when you can't think of an idea to get started well I'm at the opposite stage where I have so many ideas going on in my head that I don't know which one to do first and just as I start something else pops up. 

Lots of distress Oxides at the ready hopefully the project will be finished for next week but don't worry I have a card to show you from my Monday post.

Details available here: or just pop down to the post below this one.

You can't help but love these balloon dogs.

And 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 one of these Masterboards:

I know you've seen lots of these by now but I'm still enjoying making them.

And something different today to add to them.

Kate Crane's balloon dogs, stamped, coloured and fussy cut.

Before adding them I layered up the background with coloured card and a piece of the cloud masterboard. Before attaching these to the card blank I cut three strips of accetate and attached them behind the card and a stamped strip of Velum too and attached the ends under the card.

Here you can see the stamps I used for the sentiments and the Balloon dog stamp.

And here they are attached to the acetate strips.

I did add some Stickles Glitter Glue to the clouds but it's difficult to see it here.

You can see here how the dogs stand out.

Hope you like it.

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.

It was Heckington Show last Saturday.

This is a real country show unlike many in Lincolnshire that are just shopping and advertising massive tractors.

These pieces of garden decoration meet you as you enter the flower tent.

These are all part of the flower and vegetable show.

This is little Tilly who is happy for you to have your photo taken with her.

She's a sweetie.

And Tilly's owner also has this sweet little fairground musical organ.

I have more to show you but we'll leave those till next week.

That's probably enough smiles but I'll finish with some Schnauzer pics.

Schnauzers like to keep fit.

And they are very intelligent.

Capable of many jobs.

Great teachers.

And even mechanics.

However my two would sooner spend there day on the Sofa given half a chance.

I'd do that too if I could.

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.
