This Weeks WeDesDay FreeBie! (and it's on a Wednesday!) CLOSED

 

  Oh my goodness, it's Wednesday...about noon! I have some visiting dogs all wanting to help draw the Wednesday Freebie! So, there's two...mainly because there might not be one for next week as we are off somewhere or just out or I'm locked in the Looney Bin (Are we allowed to say that now!?)

I have dogs eating my feet as I type this!

And here's one I coloured on the computer just for fun. A comment would be lovely! Thank you for stopping by! CLOSED

Whats On Your Worktop WEdnesday!? # 678

Morning! It's sunny here for another visit to Stamping Ground. I think I got round everyone last week, even if I didn't comment but I will! Here's this weeks crafty space, playing with a set from Lawn Fawn. Haven't done much crafting, as trying to keep 'tidy' as have dogs staying and they eat anything!

Last week. On the little table in the living room.

 And this peek from last week ... is now looking a bit like this...

 I can't show you it all until later in June. Happy June by the way! No more ATC's have arrived to show... 

UPDATE*** Sylvia's has just arrived!! All the way from USA!!  Thank you Sylvia! Super! I thought for a few minutes I'd missed sending her one, but I hadn't... Here's  Sylvia's ATC's.... The other's should be here by next week so I'll share them all again then.

Sylvia's ATC

Anyone wanting to share my 'second addition', or would just like one-non sharing-or an emailed one, just let me know! dragonsmooreatgmaildotcom. That's all I have time for today!  Freebie is HERE. Stay Safe.  Happy WOYWW!?

This Weeks Freebie, Better late than never...CLOSED

He's a house snail....He travels around  everywhere, really slowly. It's taken him all week to get here. I seem to rush about everywhere and nothing gets done. I've had him, the snail that is, in my head...no, not him, (oh yuk!) the thought of him, as Hubby's been  thinking about caravaning again, so we could zoooom off somewhere, only they are a lot bigger and taller, the caravans that is, not the snails, than they used to be. Not sure if one would go....or slide, down the side of the house anymore... Hubby menioned something about, guttering. Right, stop talking.

  This is Lola....(she was a showgirl...) making a mess in my Living Room, which is why I'm soooo late this week. She doesn't sit still for five seconds! Bless her! Thank You for stopping by! Happy Crafting!

Lookie See at WOYWW!? #667 ATC's

I showed you most of my ATC's last week, for WOYWW's 13th Anniversary. 'Connections'. Here they are finished and set out before they went off  to their new homes, after I'd added a few more bits. Everyone should be showing off theirs today, although the ones from across the pond will take ages yet. Why not pop over to Julia's Stamping Ground and see! ATC's everywhere I should think! I added Gems and numbers...and then decided to join the map up. That's why the numbers don't match, but the map does. On the back I've put which one is 'connected' to which...so, #9 will be connected to #4 and #8, number 2 in the middle will be connected to four others... like a secret code! Some arrived the next day, some on Friday and more on Monday....eeeks! I thought, I haven't done enough! So rushed around like a headless carrot and made eight more. This time in 'Portrait'. ...that must be enough now (although someone did 40!) Anyway, to cut a long story short...I suddenly realised, I'd posted every ones and only really needed to make one more-or they could've had #9 with the different envelope, but I'd decided to keep that one, I rather liked the idea of keeping, Seven of Nine too and desperately wanted to add StarTrek's Voyager to it... (I didn't there wasn't any room!)  I'm a little bit disappointed that there's no Elizabeth Line but I guess that'll take another three years and cost another billion pounds!  Here are the ATC's that arrived  so far...bloody brilliant!

First we have 'Julia's house's- connecting, then there's Annie's and Jo's with a card, bottom row, Jan, Lunch Lady, along with a little card, then it's Angela's (made her's in her caravan!) followed by Caro and and Helen H ! Now then??? seeing I made some more, (called Second Addition Connection) when I didn't need to...there's a few still going spare... Number One and two have gone. If you'd like one, just let me know!

Last weeks Wednesday freebie is still available here,  this weeks will be a bit late, as I'm very busy and the computer keeps doing silly things! Tom's pop up box Birthday card is finished and is here (with links to freebie papers) and.... I'm working on a DT card, below on the little table in the living room.

All good fun, oh, and we have little Lola (she was a show girl...) the Chihuahua coming tomorrow later to day! Yesterday! Happy WOYWW!? See you all in a few hours...now, it's time for some kip! Thanks for stopping by!

Tom's Finished Pop up Box Birthday Card

 I was going to add a birthday number....but the card wasn't big enough for that! At last, Tom's card is finished, although, with this type of fold away box card you (meaning me) can go on adding things forever! After a lovely day exploring gardens and houses and having a picnic, we took it over to him along with some birthday money, never know quite what to buy, apart from a house, car, a superzonic racing bike, some rock climbing shorts or anything StarWars. 

The Card.  This one with fit into a six and a half square envelope, as I went over a bit, but you can make them any size and shape.  There's loads of "how to make"  on YouTube. Sam Calcott has this one  and here's one that's very easy and this one and many more. I've added toppers to all my panels, but that's up to you.

Most of the sporting stamps I used came from Creative Stamping magagazine, #92 (Jan 2021) The peeping cat above came from  Crafter's Companion...

 and this other cat is from their 'Smitten as a Kitten', Penny Slider Cards set.(Love them both!) Oh and the mice! Lawn Fawn of course!

Both the  letter die cuts used here and the bearly seen ones in the front were from either The Range, Trago Mills, or Hobby Craft.  (sorry about my gluey thumb!) I coloured everything with my ProMarkers. Any 'Ink overs' I used Vintage Photo, Distress Ink. Anything else was scraps from by stash. The tiny racing bike is from a freebie set, Bike Riding Set by Chantahlia Design...there's tons of freebies over there, go look see!

And, last picture... I made the back look like a door  and added a key hole. That tiny little bow on the cat came from a hangbag set of dies I picked up at the Charity Craft Shop in Lymington for 50p, I also got the matching shoes! Might make another Pop Up Box card  using handbags and shoes!

 

  

 

 Hoping to add this to some Challenges later ...I've just recieved some ATC's I wasn't expecting! How Fab is that... all nine of mine have gone off... so, I'd better get crackin' and make some more!! Thank you for stopping by!

I forgot to add the...

Happy Birthday Tom!

  It's Tom's Birthday today... (son-in-law) so, of course, I thought I'd better get on and make him a card before it's tommorrow! And...hours later, this is where I am. It's looking a lot like a door inside a box. Not finished yet... It's the little bits inside the box I'm having trouble with, they're either too short, so fall out or too long and bend... so I'll see you again later on, when it's finished! Have a great weekend!

This Weeks Wednesday Freebie....On A Thursday! CLOSED!

 Evening! Here's this weeks freebie...I know, I'm late. Internet conection doing a wobbler on me~but it seems to be fixed now! Shhh! Fingers Crossed. So, here's BBQ Kitty. Probably will change where the hats are at some point, just so there's a bit more grass. A
comment would be lovely! And don't forget to show me if you use any of my digis! Thank you for stopping by! CLOSED

ok.....stop laughing!! Someone's just said, they thought those chef hats....."Togue Blanch"  where CAKES !!

13th Anniversary of WOYWW!?And ATC Swap!

  Hey! Morning! Yes, it's another WOYWW Anniversay! The 13th, and we're, us, them, me and many more, are doing an ATC Swap. All conjured up by the Queen of Blog Hopping, Julia and her Stamping Ground. The theme is Connections...so of course my brain first went, huh? 

 

And then a light come on in Brian (because I often spelt brain that way) and I thought of, The London  Under Ground connecting people everywhere. All those miles of tunnels and did you know, there's just as many under the underground almost forgotten forever. 

  I wasn't sure if we were 'showing' them  or not....so, I decided to show mine anyway, and wondered what everyone else was doing.  I've probably got it all wrong, but never mind, I had fun making them... Started off with the map, added bits of puzzle and arrows. Then thought I'd emboss them with a worldwide postage style embossing folder, of course I had to have those little icon, like on Google, showing where places are, but I only had four wooden ones, so made the rest out of card. I've also added some small stamped coggs.

 I've made nine all together...the 9th one having a different envelope as I run out of the planes and maps 12x12 paper (from The Works) I used for the others, so I might keep that one for myself.

 So! I know three of them have  already been spoken for, so if you'd like to swap, just let me know! Have a Happy Swapping WOYWW! (Hoping to join in later...can't get in at the moment)
