WOYWW - 849 - 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'm preparing some diecut crabs for a new project, they are so cute.

These dies are by Waffle Flower.

And a peek at the journal page too.

There will be more to follow on this project soon but we've been away to see friends in France which is what the stuff was that I was doing, back now and trying to catch up on stuff.

Thought you might like to see one of the places we visited.

Jardins Secrets. 

An amazing place.

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 this Masterboard:

This will be the last cloud card for a while but I can't promise!

This is a Kinetic card today.

I've used a 6" x 6" card blank, Holographic base card and diecut clouds over the masterboard.

I embossed the sides of the cloud card.

The inks are all Tim Holtz Distress Oxides.

Kate Crane Balloon dog and finished with Stickles Glitter Glue and gems.

The sentiment is by Uniko Stamps.

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.

Last week was another car week as hubby was looking to replace his motor and the new one will arrive about the 11th September so thank goodness I don't have to suffer the searching again as he just ended up buying a new model of the one he's already got!! but it makes him happy to look at others first.

But if you fancy something a bit different what about these:

Crazy.

Interesting colours.

But this is my favourite, so cute.

Bank Holiday weekend saw the Steampunk lot arrive in Lincoln again.

Just a few photos which you might like.

Here at the Cathedral the visitors are collecting.

It is very popular now and well attended.

A few photos that you might like:

Beautiful.

No matter what your age, everyone has fun.

Even the birds are enjoying the day.

People spend so much time making their costumes too. 

Nothing better than sharing something you both enjoy.

I'm going to finish with this couple. 

This is one of my favourites.

Not everyone likes having their children photographed though usually Steampunk members are okay with it just remember, always ask politely first.

I have to say the little boy is so cute, love his costume.

This actual week has been busy but I haven't sorted my photos yet but you will get to see what we've been up to soon.

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 - 848 - What's On Your Workdesk Wednesdasy.

      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!

You saw this on my desk last week and I'm here to show you the finished page.

The desk is not a lot different today, the little tubs on the right are sparkle embossing pastes and some fine gems for shaker cards to come.

The stencil for this is by Altenew.

There's quite a lot of detail here and the information for making it can be found here: if you need it.

So that's me done for today however I know that many of you have been interested in the cloud stencils so I've included photos of the collection here.

Please forgive me for having so many as several are years old.

It's interesting the variety available. Some are realistic and some are quite abstract.

You may need to enlarge the photo to see these better. Sorry it's difficult with some as they are on a white background.
If you need to know anymore about them just ask.

 Thanks for stopping by and hope you will pop over and join in the visits around the other desks.

 I will get round but it may take me a while this week as I'm doing stuff this week!

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 another journal page:

At last I've escaped the clouds but I just love the stencils at the moment and I'm working on a new one this time it's based on the sea.

This one is by Altenew.

Distress Oxide inks naturally! to start the page off.

Several layers with different colours of blue, rotating the stencil.

So to the next stage a stamp by Inkylicious, just perfect for this design.

This sentiment just says so much.

I heat embossed the stamping to strengthen the image.

I have had this set of fish dies for a while and thought it might work the way my thoughts were going with this project. I cut them out in silver pearlescent card.

I like it so far but it needed more colour.

More stamping and stencilling made the design feel more complete but......of course it needed Stickles Glitter glue too.

I lifted some of the colour from the centre before stamping the sentiment by wetting it with spray bottle and dabbing off the colour. This helps the sentiment to stand out but it could also be done by using a wash of white Gesso too.

And that's it all finished.

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's felt very strange here this week as the dogs are in kennels and it's been very quiet though I have got lots of jobs done.

Normally we would have been away this week so booked them in earlier this year as the kennels are always busy at this time of the year so we've been out and about without them.

They are going to be there for two weeks but you'll find out soon where we are.

They like it there as they can bark and run around as much as they like but will probably be scruffy when we get them back.

So I will be quick today and finish with some funnies.

Please be aware these are Schnauzers but not Daisy or Alfie. 

I have more sense than to leave them alone.

    

Have a great weekend everyone and

 thanks for stopping by.

If I'm late getting to you please forgive me as I may not be at home today and that's all I'm saying for now.

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.
