Happy WOYWW!? #771. The Pile of Paper Grows!

 

Hello WOYWWERS! I know I did this post earlier...but it vanished! Where did it go!? Does it matter? Not a blinking sausage! I'll just type it out again, only this time, I'll try to get the smelling right....Blogger is still being a pain about loading up pictures. So I am a bit slow at getting things downloaded/uploaded to here. 

   Above, I'm in the Kitchen. I added more Stamperia papers, using Birthday money and Hobby Craft has sent me two £5 vouchers! Thank You! So I'll be popping over there at some point...

 I made some little filos/folders a while back, but didn't like the fact that some of the papers are upside down, so have been trying to work out how to cover them with out wasting too much of that lovely paper... anyway now that I have some more papers and toppers, I'll have plenty to play with! 

The very Top picture, my desk hasn't changed that much...I haven't tidied, just added to the pile..although I did manage to print out some more lables and used the card wrap-a-round from some pineapple tins (or it might've been tuna) There's some in that pile somewhere! (yep, right in the middle!)

Below are the labels I've done so far, just gotta ink them. I like to add them to the card, makes them look nice and sturdy, and if you hang them over the edge of a page there's still colour other than white on the back! Stacy's have come out a bit blurrrry this time but that's probably my printer, as the others are okay. I'll just print them out again. (and give the printer a good talking to!) 

 So that's it from me on this #771th WOYWW day! It was my birthday yesterday so scroll down or go here and email me if you'd like a freebie,  'Down The Dell' digi. Thank you for stopping by!

My Birthday Freebie For Everyone!

 

Waaaay back in 2022 I did a Birthday challenge, where everyone won one of my digis for entering and the winner received  a digi that nobody else had, or at the time couldn't have... all that will now change! I missed last year and was going to miss this year too but! I've changed my mind! Every one has the chance of owning this digi just by emailing me!! As the last challenge, this challenge will go on until April 12th, so plenty of time. This would've our 49th wedding anniversary. (I was 12) I'm sooo mad with him, coz he promised me we'd get to 50! Anyway, it's that easy! Just Email me, and I'll send you this 'Down in the Dell' digi. dragonsmoore at googlemail dot com

Don't forget...last weeks freebie is still HERE


T Stands for Lyn's Happy Birthday Tuesday!

 

Morning, Afternoon and Good Evening! It's Tuesday, Time for Tea... and other things  over on the Altered Book Lovers Blog, where you'll probably find, drink, food, mugs, spices and, other things! PluS! it's also my birthday today! We had a lovely family meal on Sunday, celebrating both Mother's Day and my zillionth birthday. I forgot to take any pictures. Shame. Never Mind. You'll just have to put up with my boring breakfast pictures! Or... last nights, tea time treat...

Francis and Sue came round, (famous for Airedale dogs and helping me out with John's bikes -MOTs Batteries and a few electrial jobs and the Garage) as I jokingly said, on FB, 'Save me some of that home made jam you've made!'....and they did! 'Loganberry and Fruit Explosion!' It's Yummy!!

In my 'staged' top picture, you can see this fabulous photo mix of family pictures, mostly of John from sis and bro inlaw.
Some of my lovely pressies came in this bag. It's lovely! Lovely Lovely! (Flowers and chocolates were wrapped inside.) But this bag??!
Lovely! Did I say lovely? It's sort of soft to the touch, and slighly embossed too, would make a fabulous Journal cover! Along with the little wooden die cut thingy!

 

Karen the cat lady, who owns the cattery, where Mr Jinx used to stay when we were away, sent me this lovely glass ball containly a pussy cat playing with butteries. 

 

This weeks Kombucha drink, no suger and made with different teas, is Raspberry and lemonade... then later...the 'purrrrfect hot Chocolate with squirty cream!

 I did say I probably wouldn't be doing a challenge for my birthday even though the last one was great fun, Umm? I've changed my  mind. There's going to be a freebie digi, but all you have to do is email me if you'd like it! I'm giving away the digi that was the prize to the winner last time. So only one person has even had that! More of that in the next post! Right, I've just got back from house sitting the Proff and his dogs, while Mrs Proff was out, so now I'm home I'd better go  do some food shopping. I'm suddenly hungry!! Have a great T for Tuesday Day! Thank you for stopping by

This Weeks Freebie. OddBall House.

Here's this weeks Wednesday Freebie...on a Friday! At last! I got waylaid by blogger again, still being mean and having to email myself to get the drawings into a different place to be able to upload here. It's a nightmare. Anyone else having problems loading images? Anyway, it's here now. If you can think of a better name, let me know in the comments. I was thinking of having a 'thing' for my birthday again next week...it's been a while...but??? Probaby not, seeing blogger's behaving so badly...it takes hours to get things done! And I'm really busy next week. So! Go HERE to download. If it's not there when you get there, just email me. I'll send it!

 There is a coloured one.... go here...but I can only find the one with the watermarked...it'll turn up somewhere. So let me know and I'll send that when I find it! Have fun! Thank you for stopping by!

ps. Found it! and added the link!

The Binder Masterboard#2Always a freebie

 Okay guys...this has been sooo painful!! Trying to load these pictures up when blogger won't let me, is a nightmare... I think, what I'll have to do is sort the pictures out on my phone first and then email them back to myself because that seems to be only way that a choice on saving in 'download'  (which Blogger won't even consider down loading and goes straight to ERROR....) or there IS another button next to the download arrow that leads to 'Photos'  Trying to add it from the  Scan file on my laptop by using, 'open with photos' just brings up a completely black scene...so...give me a little time and I'll work it out and see if it will upload my two forever freebies. And then my normally  Wednesday one...(a bit later)

masterboard #2

 It worked!!! See above. Pictures might not be too good though... so just click on it and save!! (that's if you want to!) Now... I'll try the other freebie! Yep, that's worked too! And now the real Wednesday freebie.....First...I'm gonna get me something to eat! Back later!!!

What's on- or even Under-Your Work Top Wednesday??#770

Morning WOYWWErs! Pop over to Julia's Stamping Ground and join in!  I know. I'm a day late but Melt-Downs Happen! And blogger is still making it really hard to load pictures. This top picture was taken on my hall table, showing off the biggest masterboard ever. I'm using scraps, my coffee stained book pages and a 12x12 paper pad by My Minds Eye, which I bought in USA, at Ben Franklin Crafts, Seatle in September 2009, when Mason Rain was born! I thought it was a bargain- $24.99 down to $6.88 (whatever that is! a fiver back then?)  
I usually wake up about 3 in the morning and watch a few Youtube videos, one being by Sevenplaz, (Episode One of Mass Make March) where she used all sorts of bookpages to make tags with side pockets. I used two front pages from two small freebie Village magzines. They come every month. I haven't decorated them yet. Margarth adds loads of things like flowers, insects, beetles, mushrooms etc, even people. (I need people!) Great fun! Go see!
I put this picture on Tuesday's post, thought I'd include it again, as a Temu package has just arrived (One big one, and one tiny one) I've added the above dies to the latest simular Temu ones, using their see-through packets with magnet. I love Happy Mail! Slowly, I've added most of my dies in these storage packages now. And!! I've beaten blogger, I can now add my pictures to 'Photo's on my laptop, and make them smaller as well as add titles on my phone too! Yay!
I did say on that Tuesday's post that I would show the ringbinder, which I bought from a charity shop filled with WH Smiths A4 pounched Pockets, once it was covered with that very large masterboard I'd made....It all went well, until I realised all the extra stickers and lables I added later, I'd put on upside down! Well, with that rectified, here it is...I've also added four corner protectors. Got those from Amazon.
One more thing, along with my large Temu package...they separated my small bag of magnets! A 3x3 tiny box in a bag, luckily it survived the journey!
 
Well, that's it! I've got quite a bit of that masterboard card/paper left...without the added lables. I might scan it later and add it as an always freebie...the 'real' freebie is on its way, honest|! Thank you for stopping by! Hope you all had a fabulous WOYWW!?

A Mod-Podge-gesso-matte gel medium and what and when- Answer from Jo!

What I have so far!

 In answer to my question on her blog about different mediums etc, Jo (Let's Art Journal) added this in the comments on Tuesday. I'm sure like me, there's some folks baffled by what to use and when... I've learnt sooo much over the last few months watching You Tubers like Ceri The Crafter who spends time explaining, and tons of others that wizz though everything, I thought I'd add her answer down below so I always know whwer to find it! It might help those others too! Hope you don't mind Jo!

  Thanks for visiting my blog, in answer to your question: - matte gel medium and Mod Podge are similar in that they are both adhesive/glue/sealant mediums, however a branded matte gel medium like Liquitex tends to be of a higher quality so it's a stronger adhesive and it's a better sealant, making it easier to add other wet mediums over the top (and remove them) e.g. edging with ink and then smudging ink with your finger. You can buy both Mod Podge and gel medium as "matt" or "gloss", I prefer matt as it takes away any shine and makes pages more uniform as it's less noticeable than gloss, I've heard Mod Podge is thicker and brush marks can often be seen with the gloss one. Gesso is totally different and is not an alternative for matte gel medium. I tend to use "white" gesso which is a white primer used for priming canvas, you can also purchase clear gesso and black gesso. I find Gesso is useful for sealing surfaces making it easier to apply paints/inks/pastels to my pages, also gesso acts as a resist so when colour is added over the top of gesso it can be removed. Hope this helps. Happy T Day! Hugs, Jo x

 Thank you again Jo!
