Hello Everyone. Thank you for calling in at Jumbled Crafts. Wonderful entries for the Things with Wings challenge and it will be so difficult for all of us to choose a top 5 I'm sure. I know you will be eager to find out what is in store at Try It On Tuesday this time and to see all the wonderful ideas that my team mates have made to inspire you all to join in. The theme is 'Wish you were Here' This is what I made I started out with two photographs we had taken at the North Beach in my home town, Bridlington. One had the cliffs and another the kite in the sky. I played around with them in Paint Shop Pro to make one photograph and I digitized that to look like a picture. Then I printed it onto a postcard. All the additions were cut from a postcard of a railway poster that I bought a long time ago-well all except the sun which I found on Google and I just love it :)  So I had this idea to go and take a photograph of the postcard I made with the same view in the background. I...

I hope you are having a good day Second post for me today and it is another one for the Frida Kahlo challenge at Art Journal Journey. This Journal page is digital but I will print it out to go into my journal I fused all three of the pictures together and I think it shows the reality that she painted-they fitted perfectly over each other. Thank you for your visit Love Chrissie x

Hello Everyone. Lovely to have you drop in at Jumbled Crafts-thank you for the comments you leave which are always so encouraging. This week the theme for Every Inchie Monday is privacy. Not sure I have really captured privacy with my effort but I guess you are private behind a mask be it real or pretending to be something that you aren't to conceal the real you. A squiggly background with a little mask I made and an obscure head--you need to look carefully to see that :) Now to Country View Challenges where the theme is Word Play and also to Moo Mania and Mor e where this time it is texture. I chose the words first and then wondered how to represent them. I have had the wooden windmill for a while so that was just right for 'turning' as was the wooden screw emblie.  The wooden diamonds have points so they seemed right for the canvas. Windmill, diamonds and screws I bought from Crafty Emblies but not sure what happened to them. I say canvas but it is really corrugated ca...

Hi All. Nice day here in NE UK and I hope it nice where you are. Thank you for calling in at Jumbled Crafts. At Wicked Wednesday the theme is Mythical Sea Creatures I think my dark side took over here and would hate to think my creature is anything other than mythical. Tag Along has the theme faces this week I have had this part of face image for years in a folder so printed it out twice one smaller than the other. I stamped a butterfly on each and then decoupaged them to make the tag. Have a lovely day everyone Chrissie xxx

Hello Everyone and welcome to Jumbled Crafts. Thank you for taking the time to visit and I hope you enjoy what you find here in my little space in Blogland For the month of August at Art Journal Journey  the theme is Frida Kahlo. I have seen lots of works influenced by her art but never really knew much about the person behind the art. Thanks to Valerie's wonderful post at AJJ I know a lot more and I am looking forward to joining in and seeing what others make as well. This is my first effort which I hope is a tribute to the artist. I started off with white matte emulsion and whilst it was still wet I blended in various colours of poster paints. Then it was imagination time as I added some stamps, drawings and shapes. All highlighted with felt tip pens. I thought it only fitting to take the page outside to photograph with some flower but it was very windy and difficult to take anywhere else but in a sheltered corner of the garden. Have a wonderful day and I hope to see what you mak...

Hello All who pop in to Jumbled Crafts and thank you for your visit. A quick post from me as I am off into town and then walking to the old town as well so lots of walking again and, hopefully, before it gets too hot. At Three Muses this week the theme is seashells. Hope you have a great day Love Chrissie x

Hi All. Still quite hot here so I have been having a rest day after the long walk yesterday. We only saw the Gala from outside the fence as there was thousands of people turning up to join the very long queue. Also lots going on inside by the time we arrived so it will have been a crowded day for them in the full sun. We did see lots of the things because we walked around the perimeter. American vehicles display Helicopter rides--Sewerby Hall in the background The queue that kept growing all the time as people walked along the cliff top. And still they come---the view as we walked back home we live in the far distance on the other side of town. This time at the Craft-room the challenge is Green Inspiration and they have a beautiful picture board to inspire us Made this card using the picture for inspiration and wonderful Gecko Galz images. At Every Inchie Monday the theme this week is Orange Mines a bit boring--just an orange and an orange background Thank you for dropping by Jumble...
