Late as usual. Of course, silly me, if I didn't say I was late, who'd know? Join in with WOYWW over at Julia's Stamping Ground and pop in to Altered Booklover too. I'll mix up the pictures, just to add to any confusion. Top picture-not Tea for Tuesday but Hot Chocolate instead (with squirty cream)..Yum. I've pulled out my Christmas Mugs, so there should be a different one on every week until Christmas! (Says She, of never getting anything finished)
Anyway! I had some 'Happy Mail' this morning, which waylaid me even more, as I just had to have a play! and got out the iron board, which is really a pop up crafty table...and started crafting! So, above (not finished yet) is a halloween box card scene, love it! I'm going to fix it to a card, as it lies flat for posting. For once, I'll be early for next years Halloween!
I've been trying to keep up with Rach and Bella Christmas Crafts Collaboration 2023. (Sorry. Google won't let me link it).There's sooo many different crafters joining in making crafty stuff on their YouTube channels every day this month, that I've forgotten where I've got to! I was trying to download the 'Prompt'-the idea of course is that you can 'join in'. Ceri The Crafter was on in the week, making belly bands and tags, which got me having a go too and then I found a freebie 'fold out filo' download (Wonderful Watches) from Vectorian Designs on my laptop (nothing to do with anything I'm talking about) and I had ink! So! That got printed out and made. Seen above with the waterfall pockets. (I now have no ink!) I ended up sticking clock stickers on mine...(she does warn you in the video) as I had the clocks up side down on the front pages.
I went to a crafty fare over the weekend and won a small Christmas wooden stamp set and a flumpet in the raffle.. Then, below, I spotted this cute little Teddy at the same fair. Big teddys, were £3. Medium ones were £2 and the one and only small bear was a £1.... (all needing new homes)
Once home, I opened up his (still fixed to him) tag to reveal his price when he was new ...£39.95, so he instantly became my bargain of the week!
what a cute bear, and I love the Christmas mug. Happy WOYWW . helen '#2
ReplyDeleteLovely project, free, but at what cost? :D Ink is so darn expensive these days it might have been cheaper to just buy it LOL! Having said that it really is a lovely project. I might be tempted to print it in B&W and draft mode then use the bits as a pattern to make one with some of the massive amount of patterned paper I have that sits unused. You find the best stuff LOL!
ReplyDeleteHappy (late) WOYWW!

My printer is old! And I read somewhere I should get 400 printed sheets! I'm lucky if I get 40!

Sounds like you have had lots of inspiration this week Lyn. Bargain of the week indeed. Hope it doesn't go as far as court. Stay safe and Happy WOYWW. Sarah #3
ReplyDeleteI really hope it doesn't too and I also hope the young lady is getting good advice.
DeleteLucky you to snag such a great bear!
ReplyDeletebest, mae at maefood.blogspot.com
I know, I love him...I've put a mini book in his satchel!
DeleteLove all your projects! It is so easy to go down that rabbit hole of You Tube videos! They always inspire me to get crafting! I had to look up Flumpet - apparently it is a kind of horn, a cross between a trumpet and a fluglehorn, but I'm thinking that is NOT what you won! Great bargain on that very cute little bear...Have a great week, Lindart #16
ReplyDeleteI looked up Flumpet too, but google's page said...'this page is empty' but yes, you're right, I'm sure it is a horn too.! You were in spam again...I keep taking you out and am promised that you won't go there again...but you do!
ReplyDeleteOh, I love this little nice teddy bear, very cute .
ReplyDeleteAll the best
Violetta
He is sooo cute isn't he, I was sooo surprised when I first saw him that someone else hadn't already nabbed him!
DeleteOh having me a hot chocolate as I read this, yours looks scrummy in your Christmas mug. My you have been busy with the printing and making and I love the frumpet. Hugs BJ#12
ReplyDeletePleased I popped back, loving the mug so sweet. T he project you're working on looks brilliant and the teddy is so cute. Have a lovely weekend. Hugs Angela xxx
ReplyDeleteHi Lyn, your new teddy is fabulous and such a bargain! Thanks for the link to the folio download. I signed up 😊. Love your Halloween box, such a great idea. I do hope a court appearance will not be necessary . Have a great weekend. Angela #4
ReplyDeleteThank you Angela! Yes I have downloaded a few of the freebies and I think a couple of bought ones, but they use sooo much ink it makes them sooo expensive!
