Out of a Hat 71

Hello Friends and Followers where ever you may be-always great to have drop into Jumbled Crafts and I hope you have time to say hello. Just noticed that I have reached 100 followers which is a real milestone-thank you.

This week at Out of a Hat Creations we have a new guest designer for the month of August so I hope you will pop over to find our more as I am sure most of you will know her and love her many makes.

The theme this week is numbers and endless ideas popped into my head.


This is what I finally made as I found the clock numbers on the car boot sale for 20p-I did ask if the chap had the rest of the clock pieces but he hadn't unfortunately. Those would have kept me happy for some time on Steampunk projects I'm sure.

I used part of a strong packaging box as a base and stuck a piece of Crafty Individuals paper in the middle of it. Then I stuck on the clock numbers after spritzing them with Gold Cosmic Shimmer. Next I masked the numbers and stuck all sorts of things around it. Hand made flowers, dried up runner bean seeds, lace etc. Then I sprayed the whole lot with silver paint and let it dry. A light spritz with the gold and some blue, here and there and all ready to remove the mask from the numbers. The last things I did was add the quote which is one that I love

The piece is going to be the top for this old jigsaw box but I haven't finished the box yet. The jigsaw had too many pieces missing to pass it on. We do test them sometimes for the charity shop but they want them with all the pieces intact. The boxes are usually really good and very strong so I keep those and some of the pieces as well for crafty projects.

Hope you will visit Sam, Janet and Sandra to see their makes for this week.

I'd also like to share this with Rhedd and Rosie where the challenge this time is Time

Love Chrissie x

    Wow, what a brilliant dimensional collage - I love the metallic look, and the clock numbers look brilliant. As you say, shame he didn't have the rest of the workings! Really wonderful make, Chrissie.

T is for Tag Tuesday and Inchie

Hello Friends and Followers. Nice to have you pop in today and thank you for your visit. At Tag Tuesday this time Wilma our teamie has chosen Cake as the theme I went straight out of the cake tin and into a Goth Wedding where the couple can't decided which cake to choose for the happy day. We have seen a few Goth Weddings when we have visited Whitby and they are terrific events with wonderful costumes worn by all. Vic isn't keen on me taking photographs of the Goths though I am sure they wouldn't mind. If you dress as they do I would think you crave attention. Their clothes and make-up are amazing. At Every Inchie Monday this week the theme the animal Fly As I have only being the heads of all the animal inchies this year I found a drawing of a fly's head--yuk. The colour choices are mine and may not be real Happy T Day if you have arrived from Altered Book Lover blog where Elizabeth and Bluebeard invite everyone to join in on Tuesday with a drink related post- or par...

Hello Everyone and thank you for the wonderful comments you left while I was away. I did have internet a few times but not for very long so I haven't been able to do my usual blog rounds. I will be back to normal now and look forward to seeing your makes. At Tag Tuesday dear Wendy chose Textures as her theme and it is going well. You still have a few days left to join us there with your textured tag so I hope to see your makes This tag is made of fabric that has metal drops on it. Haven't a clue how they do that but it was from quite a nice old tee shirt that I cut up. I used a plastic doillie and a metal adornment from a belt as well. Go Tag Thursday has Star or Stars as the theme for this week. Good to see more people joining in there as well. A bit of a tag revival going on I think. This is a digital tag with free to use tattoo designs and a background I made in Paint Shop Pro. At Art Journal Journey the theme chosen by Rosie is circles and runs until the end of the mon...

Hi All and a happy new week. Thank you for popping in at Jumbled Crafts. Happy T Day to my friends from Elizabeth and Bluebeard's Tuesday get together. Happy 4th Anniversay to their T a Day posts. This week we haven't been far at all as we both like watching Wimbledon so have stayed home and just had a short walk somewhere in the morning. Short walk meaning 10,000 steps if possible  This is my meal in a bowl and a drink. It is quick to make and means I can nibble at it with a fork and watch television with a nice cup of tea. It is a tuna salad with grapes. I was going to be really clever this week and make a tea cup and saucer with beautiful additions. This came about because I decided to clear out lots of old folders on my computer and this project was in one of them I made the cup ok, then thought WHY? It may or not get finished. The picture in the cup is how it should look. This week at Every Inchie Monday we have Buffalo as the theme I used an outline found on Google, made...
