It's Wednesday WOYWW again!

Okay! Are you ready?! Get set... GO! Here's my Wednesday workbench, this WOYWW day, taken round about Midnight...so I might be having a lie in this morning!!

It's a bit tidier than it normally is...there's the digi I'm doing for this weeks Wednesday Freebie, not yet scanned into the computer and tidied up. A 'few' bits left from making some cards, a plaque I won from the lovely Christine, over on hope-chances.blogspot the other week. I still haven't decided how to decorate it yet, but seeing it's because of WOYWW and blog hopping that I won it, it might become a Woyww thingy, only I don't have enough W's! (There was only two in the packet!) Here's how Christine decorated her plaque (with a video too) There's also some new Ultra fine Promarker tips, some from Di thank you, who had candy and ended up sending three to everyone who commented!! (and some from Letraset thank you Gillian!)
And then we have an over head shot...There's some glue tubes flatten out and embossed... a House Mouse image from ScoopysStuff, (I won some blog hopping candy!) Thank You Sue!! I must get it coloured. The challenge this time, is fruit I think and he has a lemon! I was going to use that strawberry paper, but probably won't now.
And thinking of fruit, thank you to everyone who sent me blackberry jam recipes. I've now made some yummy jam, will post pictures later in the week! The shoe papers you can see are a freebie, links on an earlier post here
Well...that's it! Nearly one thirty in the morning, (I type real slow!) so see you later on today!! Meanwhile, off you go to see Julia, queen of all blog hops and the famous (infamous) Stamping Ground! Bye for now!

Hats, Shoe's and Handbags, oh my!

Here's a little card I made to 'get my mojo' motivated! I was doing my Quirky DT card over the weekend... and had these papers I really wanted to use... hats, bags, shoes to go with the digi I'd just coloured, but, obviously, the yellow and red coloured digi (Sunday's post) and these blue and pink papers just didn't go!

Then I remembered I had some Lili of The Valley images, which came free with PaperCraft Inspirations last month. (20 images!)

Don't you just love Lily of The Valley images!? The making of this card just came together so easily!
And guess what?!? I didn't use my ProMarkers, no! I used some watercolour pencils I bought from a pound shop ages ago, (but I must get some better ones!!) and!!! I just used one colour, with a pastel blue ProMarker to go around the edges and to touch up the beads and socks.
I've also cut the card down a little, so it isn't square, and to make sure the papers fit.

The inside I've left blank at the moment but I will probably layer it up a little more when I get some more red Bazzil card!
No one has it near me unless I drive miles!! (I guess it would be cheaper on line!)
I have made a sentiment ready to go on the front but it's not fixed yet and I couldn't decide what font to use, or where to put it!! What d'you think?? Sticking out of the side or tucked in behind the image?

The fonts are both freebies. This first one is called 'Pea kevinandamanda Funky' and you can download it only from HERE

And the second font is called 'A Red Bucket' and you can also only download it from the same place HERE (A good place to bookmark for scrap booking fonts!) Also always on my sidebar.

I've used a matching paper inside, which has the shoes and handbags in stripes matted over the last of my red Bazzil card.

Freebie Papers The Shoe/handbag papers are from Craft's Beautiful Magazine, issue 225. You can still download them HERE (you will have to login, make up a cool name and look in on the forum too! Stay a while there's other papers to find)
The blue gingham papers are also a freebie from Activity Village (always on my side bar) This link will lead you to all 'Dark, Pastel, and Brights', gingham papers (I used the small pastel blue here)
I wasn't sure the gingham would go at first, but I think they look okay now. The flowers were cut out using an Xcut punch, which was one of the very first punches I ever bought. Never got on with it from day one. It's never cut and always tears, or jams but I do love the shape of the flowers. The packet was damaged when I bought it, so the price had been reduced. At least by using gingham, the flowers have a bit of a ragged material look about them, but they are paper.
Other punches used were Nestabilities large deckled rectangle, Martha Steward fern and lace punches. (and counting the sentiment, Woodware and Crafts Too scalloped edged Oval)
I've added Stickles glitter to the papers and the flower on the hat, added a ballerina charm and used red Bazzil card for the layering. I've also used blue and white eyelash wool and the thin ribbon? Weeelll, believe or not, came from a new red top I treated myself to! That's it for now, thank's for stopping by!

It's A Quirky Red Hat

It's time for another quirky challenge over on the Quirky Crafts Challenge Blog. It's Cazzy's turn to chose the Challenge, and seeing our Sponsors Robin's Fetish have some lovely sets of digi's called The Red Hat Society, she thought it would be a great idea to have...

A Red Hat Challenge!

The only thing your projects must feature, is a red hat or a hat with a lot of red on it, such as a wide red hat band, or red flowers, or a red feather...glitter etc... O...K, sez me slowly, someone, very close to me, who I shan't name, has just mentioned... Father Christmas and a ...gnome....right...onwards and up! The first thing I thought of was my sister-in-law's red hat at my daughter's Wedding. It was gorgeous!! So of course I just had to choose Jeanette Red Hat Gal from our sponsor. (Not that Debbie looks anything like Jeanette Red Hat Gal!) I sliced a little off the front of the card, to change the shape a bit and so you can see the yellow and orange dotty paper inside. I've 3D-ed and layered Jeanette Red Hat Gal, coloured her with red, gold, yellow and green ProMarkers, added loads of Stickles glitter, a red metal heart shaped brad, paper and felt flowers, red gems and a 'hat pin' to the bow. The bow/ribbon did look a lot redder in the dark hours of this morning, but once out in the sunlight to take the pictures, I could see it was a little closer to cerise pink than cerise red, but I don't think anyone will notice! The leaves were cut with a Woodware punch from a scrap of paper coloured with the same green ProMarker. The corner details were cut from a Provo craft diecut, using my trusty old BigShot. The papers I used were a free set exclusively from Simply Cards & Paper Craft ages ago, Nitwits The Never Not collection. (You can still buy them!) Think this is my first card using yellow, red and orange! (For my Tuesday tip you can see the white blu tac in this pic)

I've layered lots of different shapes up with red Bazzil paper. The sentiment, 'Have A Very Happy Hat Day!' I did on the computer. Nothing inside at the moment, until I decide where it's going, but it will be a Happy Birthday card...for someone who likes hats...(Debbie's birthday's in November) .

The Font I've used is a freebie, (some sites charge) it's called Troutkings BTN: or just Google the name. There's a background digi freebie at the moment from Robyn's Fetish, you'll find it here why not add it to your challenge make! A Tilda wearing a red hat, a Dustin Pike dragon would look spiffing in a red hat and not to forget...Robin's Fetish, The Red Hat Society digi's! I've found a few Challenges I hope this will fit into. One of my next cards coming up also has a red hat.. thank you for stopping by!

A Quirky peek and some distorted modern art?

I've been designing a logo for my 'new venture'...this is it, but distorted...any idea what's in this picture?? I love pressing the buttons and seeing what happens...hope I can untangle it!!
I do have a question...
I've saved the image as PNG with a 'clear' background, (Not blue as you see here) thinking that when I add this to my Web page, it will show the sites back ground, as it does if I place it over a printed background on my computer, but so far, it just turns black when I add it to the site. So any idea's on how to over come that, would be great!
Here's a Quirky sneak peek of my DT card, ready for the new challenge over on Quirky Craft's Challenge Blog, which starts on Sunday evening. Not clues, just another blurry picture and like the one above, it could be anything! Have a great weekend!

Latest Pictures of Mason Rain

As I've been a bit busy with my new 'venture', I've no cards to show you, so I thought I'd add a few pictures of Mason Rain... My little grandson is growing sooo fast! He'll be two next month.I want that one!

Watering the garden...


Where's the river?

It's Raining!

Riding the wagon


Could do with that boat now!

Sorry You Missed this one

Here's this weeks digi. I'm calling her Missy. She was going to be a gnome on a swing but his legs looked a bit odd, so I scrapped that and drew this cat instead! Can't go too wrong with a cat! Please don't share my digi's, send people here to download them, I'd love to see anything you make. Clicking the picture should take you to 4share, any trouble, I'll email it to you! Please leave a comment if you can! Thank you for stopping by! Sorry You Missed this one!

It's That WOYWW Time Again.

I've pushed all my 'stuff' out of the shot of the camera (I mean, I've carefully tidied all my crafty goodies away) The floor is spotless (fibber, I can't see the carpet!) and I can now get to my computer easily! (after climbing over the boxes heaped up) This is what's on my bench this morning...not a lot!! (It's the bits that fell off the pile you can't see!) So if you have a crafty space you'd love to share, you know where to come...shoot over to the Stamping Ground and join it!
This has got to be my SHORTEST What's On Your Workdesk Wednesday post ever!!! (Where's Lyn, and what have you done with her?)
