Folder and Journal page

Hello everyone who calls in and thank you for your visit. We have got a little bit of rain at last and the plants and the grass already look a lot happier. Still very cold though so not quite summer yet.

More Mixed Media have anything goes with pink if you like 

I bought some folders and hadn't a clue what to do with them, then I did a bit of sorting through things and thought it would be good to save different papers in different folders. I made a cover for the front by painting acrylic and then adding glitter and some gold Aztec metallics that I let drip in all directions. The face was one from a long time ago that I created in PSP and printed out. I added the pink labels as my extra. Had to cut the folder down a bit to fit on the shelf that I have decided will be a good place for all of them.

I will enter this at Altered Eclectics as well where anything goes except for cards etc.


At Art Journal Journey the theme this time was chosen by Gill and we have to get our thinking caps on to show out version of Elegance and Grunge


I started off with a  background very grungy and designed a face and grungy fascinator in Paint Shop Pro. This is printed out on photo paper and the colours weren't quite as I designed them as they should have matched the background.

Have a great day

Love Chrissie xx

    Oh wow. I love the pink and blue hair, but I also like what you have done with the folder. And your AJJ girl is definitely showing a bit of both. Love the digital art and the beauty of the woman's hair.

    I've found my ink doesn't always do what I think it should, because of the way the computer reads it (the specific color).

    Great Mixed Media cover Chrissie, and the elegant/grungy fascinator is very creative. I had a quick look round on your blog through the older posts I missed while away and I always appreciate the diversity of projects and your beautiful photos taken on your travels... xx

    Wow - two great pages full of energy and life. Love the shimmering glitter accents in the first one, and I recognise the wild hair of the second page only too well!

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...

T stands for inchie and tag

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...

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...
