WOYWW - 793 - What's On your Workde

    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 not sure this is much different from last week though I have put the journal cover together (on the left) but no pages yet.

Been a bit obsessed with the sea for a few weeks, the image above is a Woodware stamp.

And these are some new AALL and Create stamps, so cute.

The Mermaid is by Kate Crane.

And this is the new journal cover ready to be filled, we'll just have to see what goes inside.

If that's not enough for you I used this to  

create a card on Masterboard Monday 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 Masterboard:

Yes there are some left-overs!

If you've been over to mine before you may well remember these papers I made some time ago.

The top one is the original and the others are the results of scanning and colour changes using Picassa a photo editing program.

I decided to use up some of the left over bits from an earlier project as I find it very difficult to throw them away.

And here is the card.

And to make it.........

1.Take a piece of card 5 1/2" x 5 1/2" and then cut the squares at 1 3/4" x 1 3/4" which will fit onto the card leaving a small narrow gap between each one.

The fish are by Kate Crane coloured using Tim Holts Watercolour Pencils and the plant is a Beachcomber die by Mark maker.

I finished the design with a sentiment stamp by Creafter's Companion - 'Enchanted Ocean' and some Stickles Glitter Glue.

I think it turned out okay but what do you think?

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.

Picking some carrots, I think the soil is a bit too firm for them which is why we have some strange shapes.

However they taste good!

Look at these two, not the best carrots but cute pair.

A few more pics from the Country Fair.

These are just gorgeous.

All handmade.

Some history of the County.

And then into the flower tent.

Interesting display.

Gorgeous roses.

Vegetables.

Cake, scrummy.

Cacti

You may have guessed by now that this is a real village show with lots of displays by the Women's Institute.

And the children's displays are next.

And when you get tired of all that you can visit the house of fun.

A couple of pics of some of my favourite friends.

Alfie relaxed as he sits looking through the window.

And I am helping my little friend with the potatoes.

In case you wondered I'm wearing a sun hat as I was sitting outside until I was called in to help Rosie with the potatoes.

She's good at the washing but not allowed to use the knife to cut the big ones.

Think that's about it so a few dog funnies to finish.

Now that's got to make you smile.

Might be a bit late getting round today as I have to go out but I'll get to you 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 - 792 - 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!

It's a bit boring today as I'm just starting a Mini journal and got distracted with something else.


I know some of you wanted to see how I would use the papers I made last week and the full details are here below this post.

You might remember them.

And this was my distraction, needed to tidy up a bit in the cabin as I hope to start a resin project soon.

And just finished this project....

But I'm all tidy now.

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 one of these Masterboards, yes I've made three:

A4 Masterboards this week so quicker to make but just as useful.

I have taken one of these and stencilled the back too.

'Lavinia Stamps' Stencils and 'Tim Holtz' Oxide inks.

Finished this off by making a Tuxedo Card.

You may be able to see that I added a little more stamping to the outside with one of Tim Holtz stamp sets 'Grunged'.

The images I've added are quite old and have been in my storage folder for some time.

I know the butterfly is a stamp and die by Tim Holtz but not sure about the moths.

The sentiments are by Tim too.

I blended distress black ink along the edges to create shadow and definition.

Hope you like it.

Just have to dercide what to do with the other two designs.

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.

Saturday was Craft and Chat Club again

and Jo Channon came to show us a card tutorial.

You can see here everyone gave it their best.

These are the samples Jo brought.

The technique is very similar to the Retiform masterboards I make but done on a smaller piece of card.

And here are some of my friends busy working away on their cards.

Oh! and I mustn't forget there was some shopping too!

Shopping, love it!

And if that's not enough we went to the Heckington country fair on Sunday.

This is one of the largest village shows in the UK.

The first time we went to it in 1988 the show just covered the village recreation ground and now it's covering several acres of land.

So here goes.

Vikings.

Bet Elizabeth will like that one.

It's so good to see these and so well looked after too.

We always have to go round and look at the old cars that are on show.

This is from the 1960s.

It was a lovely lady that owned this and it was in great condition.

Lots of shopping available too.

And some beautiful sheep.

But there are too many photos for today so I'll save the rest for next week so we'll finish with some funnies......

Probably true!

Have a great weekend everyone and

 thanks for stopping by.
