Cards

Hi All from a dark, wet NE UK coast. Too awful to go for a walk yet but maybe the sun will come out this afternoon. A good time to craft and join in a few challenges and then maybe watch some tennis on television so no grumbles from me. Thank you for calling in at Jumbled Crafts on your travels

At Country View Crafts this month the theme is Feeling Blue.

I hadn't many blue things at all but used Distressed ink to dye a few things to match. The flower is stamped on parchment and coloured with felt tips.

Our Creative Corner have gone Topsy Turvy which is something to think about for sure


Think I may need a few of these cards as we always seem to be upside down at Christmas Time. I decorated the digital tree with brushes I made in Paint Shop Pro

Have a lovely weekend

Chrissie xx

    So blue and shimmery, just gorgeous! Love that second card, the sentiment is such a perfect fit and it really made me smile (sort of how I have felt the last month or so) lol.

    Hugs :)

    You first card is a lovely vision in blue... and a lot more finished than mine since I have lost all inspiration and enthusiasm! Your second one is really funny and clever, well done the topsy-turvy theme is not exactly easy...

Tag and Journal page design

Hi All. Thank you for visiting today and I hope you like what you see here. A fine bright day but colder today so I may fit in a walk later though I had some curtains to make before I do anything else. At Tag Tuesday this week the theme is Diva. I don't always remember to show my tags for there as you need to be a member and and do your own posts on Tag Tuesday's blog. I chose Elizabeth Taylor as my Diva she was so beautiful in films but definitely a Diva in her private life. Art Journal Journey are still drawing me in with the artists inspired theme so here is yet another page for the challenge there.  This was inspired by Damien Hirst though years ago I didn't feel inspired by his work at all when I saw some of it for real at the Liverpool Tate Gallery. We had gone there to see the wonderful Rodin sculpture 'The Kiss' which graced the entrance to the Gallery. Then we strayed into the next part and a whole wall was covered in dots. It didn't look like art to

Collage and Journal Page

Hello Everyone and thank you for your visit to Jumbled Crafts. I am in limbo bat the moment as my daughter had a operation yesterday and I am going up to Cumbria to look after her when she gets back home. Still not a clue when that will be but, I may go tomorrow anyway, as there are few trains from here to where she lives.  I want to be sure I am there for her return home. Not a clue when I will be back in Blogland so this may be my last post for a while. A collage of my entries for last month at AJJ Just spent an hour making a mixed media piece for Art Journal Journey where their new theme is For the Record. The host this month is Linda  and I am sure the theme she has chosen will be very popular as we are asked to think of a song that has inspired us in some way I have chosen a Burt Bacharach song that always made me so happy way back in the 70s. He wrote the song for Butch Cassidy and the Sun Dance Kid, a film I have seen many times over the years. The raindrops are a stamp by Ryn

Journal Page and Altered Box

Hello All. Hope your week is going well. I am enjoying a quiet week as the Care Home is still closed to visitors. I have been knitting lots more Twiddle Muffs as word is spreading that I am making them and people are asking if they can order one. I am not charging for them but may have to start asking for a small donation as the things I add to them have all run out now so I will need to buy some more. Art Journal Journey have 'If You Go Down in the Woods' and it is going well indeed This is a revamped version of a digital page I created way back in 2005. At the time I had a passion for painting my own fairies-afraid this one looks as though she is wearing baggy knickers under her tights :) It is so funny to find old folders with things I made a long time ago but I will enjoy changing them a bit I'm sure.  I am joining in at Dragon's Lair Challenge Blog where they have a grid for you to choose a line I chose Pink, Box and Bow as my line I covered a box for Easter as
