Second post from me today. The weekend has flown by and we had a beautiful sunny day here today. Hope your weekend went well and thank you for calling in again at Jumbled Crafts. At Sunday Postcard Art the theme is Nostalgia/Times gone by and I couldn't resist making a postcard for this. This is my brother and me in the swimwear of the 1940s. The bathing costume I had on belonged to my mum but it would fit anyone from a baby to the biggest lady on the beach. It was an orange colour and faded a lot over the years. I made it into a tag as well for our challenge at Tag Tuesday  as the theme is Beach chosen by Joan You still have all tomorrow to join in with us there so hope you can make a tag before the new theme starts on Tuesday. Another fun theme then. Photographs of Oscar helping his mum with the chores Lots of office work to finish off in bed and Felix looks on in the background I need to clean out this dishwasher before anyone comes  in and sees it The hall floor needs a ...

Hi All. Hope the sun is shining where you are and you will enjoy your day. Thank you for making me a part of your  day by calling in at Jumbled Crafts At Go Tag Thursday the theme this week is In the Garden This is a digital tag for the theme with digital painting, effects and brushes. Then-------  Is this a tag? Not sure really but I am hoping it is. I did some weaving with wooden lollipop sticks to make some garden trestle then added flowers and creatures. It does hang up like a tag. Tag Tuesday has the theme The Beach chosen by one of the team, Joan . I have gone back to my childhood here though it was all different when I was young. On Holiday men mostly wore a collar and tie and we had our best clothes on even to go on the beach. We went together as a large family and there was lots of fun and laughter for the whole week. Doesn't look very much fun does it ? If you make any tags or tag related projects during the next 11+ days I hope you will join us at Try it on Tuesday...

Hi All. Thank you for calling in at Jumbled Crafts today and for your support and friendship. Happy T Day if you are visiting from Elizabeth's blog and joining in her T Day post. All you have to do to join in is to have something drink related in your blog post. My drink related bit is at the end of this post. Happy 4th of July to my friends in the US. It is the start of a New Challenge at Try it on Tuesday today and the theme is Tags. You can make just one tag or add a tag onto your project somewhere so long as there is a tag it is fine to enter your project. If you need inspiration our wonderful team have made lots of things and also while you are visiting the TIOT blog please revue the rules. Not many of them but always good to stick to the guidelines when joining any challenge. This is a Bohemian Bazaar Upside Down tag and I have wanted to make one for a long time but never got round to fitting it in. I cut out the shape and covered it in an Anna Griffin paper. Then I painted ...

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...

Hello Everyone. Here I am back again already with another post. Thank you for calling in. I am happy to announce our new theme at Tag Tuesday where Wendy is hosting this time and has chosen texture as the theme for the next two weeks. Thank you to everyone that joined in with the Animals challenge your tags were amazing and such a pleasure to visit your blogs. Hope to see you again in the next 2 weeks. Not sure when I will pop in this week are going to be away. I knitted a tag with different textures of wool. A lot of it isn't wool at all with cotton, silk, synthetic fibres and even some ribbon in there. Vic wanted to know what it was for? Here is another tag for the challenge something completely digital with textures cut into shapes in Paint Shop Pro.  At Digitally Made anything goes but you have to add a quote this month. This is their second challenge and I was so thrilled to win the first one they had. It is so good to be relearning some of the things I did everyday way bac...

Hi All. A nice sunny day here today and I am pleased we didn't stay up all night for the election programmes as it means I am ready to go for a walk this morning instead of sleeping the day away. Thank you for your visit and any comments you leave on my blog. At  Tag Tuesday  you still have a few days to join us in he challenge.  Michele  has chosen animals as the theme. There is also a prize for a random winner and that is given by Karen at  Lunagirl I have made a very large tag with a eucalyptus leaf background and a sprayed paint and stamped paper I made. Then I added the cute koala mum and baby, found here , plus a quote. These have both been raised with 3D foam tape. A bit of fluffy wool as a tie as I imagine it feels like koala fur though I have never been lucky enough to stroke one. At Try it on Tuesday we started our new challenge this week and it is Steampunk so I hope to see you there as well Back in 2012 I made a few steampunk figures and I gave the...

Hello Everyone. I seem to have had a very busy day and done a lot of walking here and there so ready for a rest now and a look at what everyone has been doing today. Thank you for calling in to see what I have made. Go Tag Thursday has Road Trip/ Holiday as the theme this week. I used a piece of a very old map that is backed with canvas for my road trip. We used to go to Scotland for holidays when we had a car and the map is of part of Scotland Couldn't resist giving my home town a heads up for the holiday part of the theme. This tag is digital and created from an old Railway Poster. Moo Mania and More have theme hair chosen by Rosie and this challenge will last for 2 week. I found this strange hairstyle in one of my old folders so thought it would do well for a hair challenge. A reminder that there is lots of time to join us at Try it on Tuesday for the Feathered Friends Challenge and also at Tag Tuesday where Michele chose animals as the theme this time Hope to see you at bot...

Hi All. Hope you have had a good week. We have been away in Southport and the weather has been amazing. Lots and lots of photographs to sort out and hopefully some will be good enough to share with you in later posts. Thank you for your comments while I was away and sorry that I didn't manage to visit your blogs but the Internet was useless so we gave in and had an Internet free week. May do that every time we go away as it was really quite good once we got used to the idea. At Tag Tuesday the theme Anything goes still has another day to go so I am sneaking in with two tags that I made before I went away. This large tag is for Go Tag Thursday where the theme this week is Country but it fits anything goes as well. The theme at GTT is always posted for the following week so you have plenty of time to make a tag for there. I chose Italy as my country and added a background of famous architecture and a map of Italy as a second layer. The tag is covered in a mop up paper edged with D...

Happy Mother's day to anyone who celebrates it today. At last we have had a little bit of rain though it has quickly gone away and we have some sun at the moment.Thank you to all who call in at Jumbled Crafts any times it is always appreciated. At Gecko Galz this time the theme is Country Charm I made a tag using the Sunny Brook Farm sheet. The background paper I made digitally using the cockerel image. Country View Challenges have Flower power for their theme this month and I made a card for a friend. Not the sort of thing I would normally made but the sort of card she will love. I coloured a plain white card with Distressed inks then used a serviette on another piece of card to stick on top of the background. The flower I made from a piece of ribbon off of a chocolate box. Still another day left to join in at Tag Tuesday and you will be added to a prize draw if you do join us. Also over a week still to go in the Try it on Tuesday challenge so hope to see you there as well. Enjo...

Hi All. I hope you are enjoying the weekend. Nice that you have called in at Jumbled Crafts, thank you. At Tag Tuesday it is my turn to choose the theme this time and I chose Faces. There is a prize for one person who enters a tag and the prize is growing bigger all the time as I keep making more tags and they will be included with the prize. I used clock 'faces' for this tag and even a second hand from a real clock.  This one is digital and I have printed it out postcard size. The face is a poser tube from Outlaw by design and I bought it many years ago. I added the flowers that were made up by me. I will enter this one at Moo Mania and More  as well as they have a Headgear challenge . Looking forward to seeing your Faces tags Have a great day Love Chrissie xx
