Just A bit Late for... WOYWW #644

Well, I'm back from where I've been...and finding myself a little rusty, as it didn't stop raining!!  It's WOYWW and although I did a post for last week, I was without internet for most of the time so it didn't get posted...It's still Wednesday so this is what's on my worktop this week! No crafting, instead while I was away, I had a lovely time shopping in crafty places, The Works, Trago Mills and The Range. There was more goodies but I've been playing with them and finding them new 'homes'... 

The best bargin was the tropical dies... they were £10 down to £2.50 and they even had their own magnet sheet. Then there's the magnet pocket folder. It's supposed to go in a ring binder case, instead, I just fixed the pages together with some little brass screws, (from an old storage box) That's it from me! If you want to see what's on a few more work tops just click over to the Stamping Ground!  And Join in! Thank you for stopping by!

How about A Saturday Freebie!?

 Hi crafty People, I'm not about to do a freebie...so how about this!? Confusion!? Just click on the image and save it to your computer!

Happy Birthday Mason Rain! Twelve today! It's a Monkey Spinner Card with a difference!

 Oh my giddy goodness! It doesn't seem that long ago, we were over in Seattle visiting him in hospital the day after Mason Rain Taylor was born! The thing that stuck in my head most was.....(apart from what a gorgeous baby grandson I had!) was the tills at the reception.  We don't have them over here, and I hope we never will! Anyway. Here's the card I made a little while back already gone off to Skykomish in the USA, a monkey penny spinner card... with a difference.  You said you were going to add a bit more to the front Lyn... (sez the voice inside my head) Yes! I have! but not on the front.... the inside!

It came to me in one of those light bulb moments... make a monkey spinner card with a difference, so I did. I had a few monkeys left over from Maria's card and the lovely jungle paper (The Works)  So set about planning my next move once the front of the card was finished. And this is  it!

It's a different card? With bears? No! well, yes, there's bears... but wait  for the next picture!

               

Dah dah! Here it is...it's a box card inside the spinner card! It all folds down flat to make a 5x7 card. All the papers are from a 12x12 paper stack called 'Jungle Dreams' from 'The Works'. I chose bears, because, quite often, Mason gets real live bears, in his garden! Now, hubby who is sitting opposite me, drinking his beer....(I'm posting this is a pub) has just said... "Isn't Mason 12?" and begins counting on his fingers! What!!? No! The card's gone off with 11 on it! Argh! Quickly, I start counting on my fingers too... "its' okay," he sez, still grinning... "He was 11!" Phew!  "Last Year!" Oh Poo! No one will notice! sigh! Well, there we go, that's my lastest make... I have done a video...but seeing I'm not around, and have no internet where I am, I'll post it next week! Thank you for stopping by!!

It's Wednesday's Freebie- On A Friday Sorry CLOSED

 CLOSED I thought I'd do three Gnomes...But they went a bit wonky so I did three other gnomes.  Cyril, Clyde and Brian with his cat, Pickle. Go HERE to download them. You can split them up,  do what you like, but no sharing, without the watermark. Next week I'm not about much but might be able to do a freebie, if I have internet. A comment would be lovely! Thank you for stopping by!

 

Wot's On Your Worktop...Not Wednesday #642 With a Touch of T for Tuesday

 Argh! It's bin a bissy week! I'm goin' Bananas! But never mind that! Happy Very Late WOYWW. I lost my secret key to the back door of Stamping Ground, again... but I'm here now...it's never too late to join in.  Here's what was on my workbench about an hour ago....

                            Above is what's on it now.

And to the left, is the card that made all that mess... it's not finished yet...it needs something else (and don't say the nearest bin!) I think I have one more penny spinner card to make...that'll be the boat, there's a couple more I haven't got...yet. This monkey card will be winging its way  to somewhere very soon, as it's a bit late. The first card I made I decided was a bit too twee. Think this one's a little bit better or will be when it's finished...

...and this is what my desk looks like now. Right! That's it...Up early in the morning, collecting my new glasses...the ones that go dark when the sun comes out... so not much chance of that happening very often!

Today, (being Wednesday and not Tuesday, and almost Thursday) I'll  add the next bit to T for Tuesday over on  Bleubeard and Elizabeth's post!) we took Lady Pam out for a cream Tea... (She's making a face, cos half an hour before this picture, she was in bed, snoring!  snoozing! We arrived at hers about Two-ish... "Come on," I said, "get your drawers on, we're going out!" and we had Scones with Clotted cream and jam!

I had Hot Chocolate... I'm now going to travel back in time, to Two minutes before midnight...yesterday!  Thank you for stopping by!! Happy WOYWW+ T for Tuesday.

 Ps....And later on... Lady Pam had her hair done!  She's not bad for 90, is she!?

Have a great Week!

Happy Birthday Maria!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MARIA. Yes, I'm shouting. My lovely youngest daughter lives on the other side of the World! I hope Skykomish is sunny and warm today. Miss you loads! So here's the Birthday card I sent off. Before she was born, Maria was called Sprog and when she was first born, we called her Monkey...in a loving, cute way, of course. You'll have to be eagle eyed to see how old she is! Above is the card closed...

 ...And here's the card opened. It's quite a long card but folds up to fit into a 5x7 envelope...although, by the time I'd finished it was a 5 and a half by 7 and a half  envelope (don't you think it's about time they put halves on the laptop keyboard, with my old one you just press 'insert' and  have a choice...on this newer one, nothing happens!)

Here, you can see I've put 'Birthday' down the inside, it just about fitted...of course Happy is on the other side, and!! because I still can't find my 'A' I've die cutted the letter 'A' inside a little balloon.

There's plenty of room on the back to write your sentiment. The paper is from a 12x12 double sided paper pack from The Works, called  'Jungle Dreams.' These's lots of sentiments included in the pack. 'Stay Wild Moon Child' just seemed the perfect one! The Monkey's and cocoa nut trees came from a Craft Companion's penny slider kit, CraftStash do them too (and I still haven't made all I have yet)  I've used my Promarkers to colour them. The Happy Birthday letter die-cuts and circular one and the  Balloon 'A' too, all come from The Works including the balloon the Monkey's are holding. I think that one is cut from card but they looked great cut out in foam too!

Here's the making of the card. The card next to it was going on to
Skykomish too.. but I've decided that might be a little bit too soppy for a 12 year old Grandson!  

You can find how to make this type of Pop Out Show Stopper Card over on Sam Calcott's YouTube channel. Sam used the same papers! That's it I think! Thank you for stopping by.

It's WOYWW WEDNESDAY! #641 Better Late Than Never.

 

Happy WOYWW Day... it's quite sunny here, hubby's gone off to the tip with a load of garden rubbish as we haven't had a garden green waste bag emptied for about a month. Short of drivers. (That's doesn't mean they need short drivers, at this time I think they could be any height as long as they can reach the peddles and drive!) Now, I know I'm late connecting to Stamping Ground, where it's all at. But even though I have a 'secret way' to get in, the link doesn't stay open for long which is why I missed some of you last week and I was a bit too busy to work it all out again...so.... here's my worktops this week...  Top picture, is in my kitchen... a small haul from The Works and a pack of 100  Crafters 4x6 White Card, 160gsm from the Pound Shop. A Christmas Paper Pad 12x12, some Gliding sheets, A little deer light up Christmas Decoration, two packets of coloured card. And some Punch Pockets, I get through a lot of those,  as I keep all my downloaded backing papers and loads of other things in them inside Ring Binders.

What do you keep yours in? Of course I keep my 'real' 12x12 papers in Really Useful Boxes. My latest 12x12 (not counting The Works pad above) is 'Made By Elves' I can't wait to use that! I just noticed... so I've ringed it in yellow,  my latest Amazon box, waiting to be changed into a useful storage box, has a face! The two magnets on those Ikea pencil boxes above look like eyes and the fussy cutting scissors, his spinky hair!

Did somebody mention wires last week?! Here's the plugging in point for my Heat Gun, Printer, (that's in the hall) TV, and phone charger!

And, at last...my worktop this week. I've just managed to clear a few things out of the way...on the left is an almost brand new die cut Art Bin case, which I bought for £8 from a Crafty Charity Shop that was already filled with loads of dies and magnetic sheets, along with some Sizzix Big Dies... and then you can see I'm sorting out some of the dies and adding them to a magnetic sheet, which I was doing yesterday. I think that's it! A very late WOYWW from me, but I don't think anyone will notice! Now all I have to do is to open up that back door in  Stamping Ground! See you there. Thank you for stopping by!
