Hello Everyone who pops into Jumbled Crafts and thank you for your visit. This is the first of two posts I will be doing today as there will be a new challenge at Artful Time s later so I will be showing my DT piece for there. It is a great theme for a lot of you so hope you will join in. This week at the Twinchies Challenge  the subject is idols. This is my take. I just found a picture of an idol statue and printed it out twice to fit on a twinchie. I decoupaged one of the images to give it more depth then drew the dots down each side. This is the second page in my journal for the 2014 Craft Barn Challenge  The challenge is 'Quotes and Lyrics' for the whole year but we are given words to include for each challenge. The words this time are Silence and Dazzle-you can use either or both. I made a 'dazzling' background but most of it has been covered up with my silence images and quote.  The background was splodged acrylic paints. I found the little girl covering her ears...

Hi All. Still gloomy weather here but we are in a better place than a lot of people in the UK and I send my love to all of those and hope things improve soon. This week Collage Obsession  has the theme bridge. I have stuck to making a digital collage again though I may decided to print all of them out and made a book at some point. For this collage I took a few of our photographs that we took last year when we went on holiday to Berwick-on -Tweed. There are 3 bridges there quite near to each other and all are spectacular in their own way. The very high one for trains-a very old one that wasn't built for today's traffic at all but you can still pass over it on foot or bicycle I think-we walked. Then there is a new road bridge following the same route as the old one but it it very busy with all sorts of traffic all the time. We did go over that a few time by bus. The reflections in the rive are amazing from all of the bridges. these are some of the photographs I have combined. Ju...

Hello Everyone. Hope the weather is ok where you are and that you are not in a part of the UK that has floods. We have had lots of rain but nothing seems to be flooding so far. Can't believe that it is Monday again already and time for another Inchie at Every Inchie Monday. The theme for this week is 'Ballet' so I chose Swan Lake. Resized the swan image to fit the inchie then coloured the background to make it look like a lake. I am still keeping up with Marina in the Christmas Card makes and using the wonderful 52 Christmas Card Throwdown  challenges as inspiration The theme this week is 'dry and wet embossing' all on one card. I used a Cuttlebug folder for the background of the card then stamped and embossed the tree image. The stamp is an old one by 'Anita's' and the gold embossing powder is Stamp-n-stuff, Gold Tinsel-opaque. I added the sentiment which was on ribbon and the lace I coloured with a red Promarker. Nice to have you pop in today and hope...

Hello Everyone--nice to have you visit today. It is a beautiful sunny day here and when I finish my cup of mint tea we are off for a walk somewhere. Can I just add a reminder about he challenge at  Artful Times  where we have the theme Asian/Oriental/ Horse. Any or all three is what we are looking for and almost a week left to join us there. Hope you find time to make something At  Tag Along  this week the subject is 'Baby It's Cold Outside' I used this image that I found on pinterest as it looked just right. I coloured it with Promarkers to add some colour to the tag that I had made with a very pale shade of blue. The fabric snowflakes were from my friend Sandra and the bling from a very old Christmas card that I have been saving for this sort of make. The ribbon has snowmen on it so I added some of that with a blue brad. The theme at Craft-room Challenge is 'The Age of Aquarius' This instantly made me think of  a 60s song but they do suggest something watery f...

Hi All. What a wet and dark day it is here so far and isn't it nice to be able to look at a bright and cheerful screen and visit online friends. :) Thank you for visiting me as well. At Twinchies Challenge Blog t his week the theme is glass. I used a small heart shaped mirror for my glass and mounted it on a red heart die cut and a twinchie shape that I coloured with Distressed inks in various colours. I added the little flower to cover up a chip in the glass-a solution for very problem so they say :) I took the photograph in the the window and you can see the reflection of the window frame. Now to Use your Stuff  where the theme is Lots of Colour I made a front for my new journal  that will hopefully reflect some of the words on the outside and maybe even some of the colours. I covered a piece of card the size of the front with a very crumpled, flowered serviette and well gessoed it and made it  even more crinkly. Then I cut-out shapes from my bits of card stash, using d...

Hello Friends and followers and anyone else who finds their way to Jumbled Crafts. Looks like being a crafting day today as the rain seems to have come to stay-could be sunny later though. Every the optimist :) Yesterday I found Collage Obsessions Challenge Blog  and I haven't a clue how I found them but I am so pleased that I did. You can do any sort of work so long as it follows the theme but why I was pleased was because they accepted digital creations. It is a long time since I did a purely digital creation and I really enjoying doing this sort of thing so I am hoping to join in the challenges there and get inspiration from the others. The challenge this time is the 'in colour of the moment' which is 'Radiant Orchid.'  Have a great day everyone Love Chrissie x

Hello Everyone from a cold, foggy and frosty Bridlington. We had planned to go for quite a long walk along the cliff top but it definitely isn't the day for that sort of adventure. It is lovely of you to take the time to visit Jumbled Crafts-thank you. This week at Tag Tuesday the theme is Myths and Legends I do love dragons but I only have the one stamp with a dragon on it so I used that as my Myth. It is made by Abracadbra and I have had it for years. The background is some patterned card and I used my home made 'gelli' plate to add a bit of texture to it. I found the Tolkien quote on Google and thought it would fit nicely. Here is another Christmas Card as I am still joining Marina in her attempt to make one each week. Someone who commented on her post suggested other places for her to add her Christmas cards. I used one of them as inspiration for my card this week. At 52 Christmas Card Throwdown  they have a recipe challenge so I tried my best to follow that. I will e...
