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...

Hi All. Hope you are having a good week. It seems to be flying by for me though I do keep watching the tennis so no wonder the hours just disappear. Doing lots of knitting as well so I don't just sit watching television.   At Tag Tuesday we have started a new theme chosen by our teamie  Wilma who  has given us Cake--not to eat but to use on a tag. My tag today is digital and delicious-well without the mice it would be. Now to Go Tag Thursday and the theme this week is 'Button It' so you need to add buttons or a button somewhere on your tag. So I digitized a face and printed it out with a body then added a hat with knitted flowers and a cardigan to match. Her hands and arms are behind her back so you can't see any sleeves. :) As a bonus until Next Monday evening, any tags that you make we would love you to add them to the challenge at Try it On Tuesday where you could be chosen as one our TOP 5 or even get a place as guest designer in the future. Hope to see you at a...

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...

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. We seem to be having more than our share of rain the last few days and it is cold as well so a good time to do some crafting. At Tag Tuesday ,  Joan has chosen The Beach for our theme for the next 2 weeks. Hope to see you there with your ideas for the beach theme. Any format or size of tag you like so long as it has Joan's theme on it.  For my second tag for this theme I have gone digital. The background is one of my own photographs taken at Filey  and I think the quote is true for me. Go Tag Thursday always give a head's up for the week ahead and I try to be ready with a tag for that. This week the theme is Butterfly or Butterflies This was sort of a happy accident tag as I ran it through a Cuttlebug folder then painted it with Aztec Metallics silver. It was taking ages to dry so I used my heat gun and it curved at the sides so I have left it that way. The flowers were cut from a piece of wallpaper and the butterflies from birthday cards Here are photographs of ...

Hello Everyone. Hope your week has started well and thank you as always for visiting Jumbled Crafts along the way.   Our new challenge at  Tag Tuesday.  Just to say thank you for the wonderful entries to the texture challenge last time and that you can always use any style tag you like at TT, 2 weeks to enter as well so hope you will join us. This time our  teamie  Joan has chosen The Beach. Lots to see and enjoy at the beach for sure. For this tag I concentrated on the things you could find on the beach. The seaweed is a rare find as it was blowing along the Prom on a very windy day and had dried out. I collected the bunch and brought it home to use on projects and now it feels like fine leather. The 'net' is a bag that had satsumas in it and I collected the shells from our beach. The bit of wood I found in the garden and the head and bird was sent to me years ago by a friend. Happy T Day if you have arrived from Elizabeth's wonderful Tuesday get together...

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...
