Try it on Tuesday Happy Holiday

Hi All. Welcome to Jumbled Crafts and thank you for dropping by.

Here we are with a new challenge at Try it on Tuesday where the theme is Happy Holidays. You have 2 weeks to  make anything you like so long as you follow the guidelines and the theme.
If you pop to TIOT you can see what the rest of the team has made and you will get some inspiration, if you need any, to join in with us.

As we live at the beach and have lots of lovely countryside around us we like to visit cities when we go on holiday. It means we see museums, art galleries etc that we don't see where we live. Also love exploring the quieter areas of places away from the touristy bits.

The postcard was inspired by ones that we used to send to my Gran when we went on holiday many years ago. She said it felt like she had been there with us to see all the pictures. Not sure if they still make this sort of card as I haven't seen any in recent times.


I printed out an old post card back. I had to sign it Christine as she would never have approved of me being called Chrissie 

If you pull up the tag the pictures drop down from under the flap. All the photographs were ones we took in Lincoln on holiday.

This shows the side view and how it folds into the postcard front.






These are the photographs I used. The large one was taken from a boat on the river as we went for a trip.

Have a great day

Love Chrissie xx

    Oh Chrissie this is wonderful…and not just because it is my home town! I love how you have made a fold down flap with all those lovely images! The Waterside pub is one we used to eat at regularly! I am going to see my brother who still lives there and I have requested a tourist day as there are so many changes since I lived there! Hugs, Chrisx

    The photos are great and the postcard idea is clever. I do similar things on scrapbooks if I have a lot of photos for one page.

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...

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...

Hi All. Last post from me for a week or more as we will be visiting daughter Linda and her husband in Cumbria then off to North Yorkshire after that. Not too sure when we will be back it all depends on the weather and our energy levels. Hoping to have internet connection sometime but will catch-up when I get back if not.  At Tag Tuesday we have the Texture theme chosen by our team member Wendy. Everyone is welcome to join in with us with their take on the theme. You can use any medium you like to create your tag This tag has corrugated card and ordinary card in the form of butterflies. It has texture paste. wood, a mirror, complete with me and my camera trying to take a picture. Mustn't forget the bit of fluffy wool as a tie as well. I would like to enter this at Go Tag Thursday  where the theme this week is Anything Goes. Don't forget to enter there if you make a tag this week for anywhere else and especially if you make one for the texture challenge. Try it on Tuesday stil...
