Welcome to Jumbled Crafts and finding time to drop by today. At Wicked Wednesday this week the ATC theme is Something Girlie. My background is made from some lovely card that Valerie sent to me and the image is cut from a calendar my daughter gave to me. I had to cut off the legs and arrange her sideways to get everything in but it is very Girlie I think. Sugar Creek Hollow has Hide and go Seek for the theme this time. So you have to have a hidden element to your project. The card I made with an embossed background edged with a red Promarker. A beautiful Gecko Galz image and odds and ends This is the inside of the card and as it is an A4 sheet of card folded in four-- There is a hidden tag made from a spool image with a needle and cotton added. The needle is safely encased in some clear plastic so not dangerous. Have a wonderful day everyone Love Chrissie x

Hello Everyone and a warm welcome, a special welcome to my latest follower. Thank you for dropping by and I really hope you enjoy the photographs I am sharing today as we had such a wonderful day out. Vic took 150 photographs so this is just a very small taster of what found us yesterday :) We went on the train to Scarborough which is a place we visit often but sometimes things can be quite different and you do see new things. We had only just got away from the train station when I saw this living statue. I just love them and first saw many of them in Barcelona but I have never seen one in Scarborough before. They stay still in the same position until someone puts some money in their box then they can change position. This angel offered me both her hands to hold so that Vic could take a photograph-then she blew me a kiss and wished me a happy day. How nice was that for a start. The next three pictures are photographs of somewhere we have been meaning to find for a while since AJ of Mor...

Hi All-nice to have you call in at Jumbled Crafts, always terrific to have visitors--thank you everyone. Great to see all the wonderful recycled pieces you made for our last challenge and now it's time for another challenge at Try It On Tuesday .  The theme this time is 'Animals' so lots of scope for this one and we can't wait to see what you make so do join in with us. Hope you go along and see what all the team members have made as they are all amazing crafters with different ideas on any theme. I made a Chinese hanging with the dates and Animals showing which years are which animals on the C dates of birth. This stems from going to see the wonderful Illuminasia exhibition in Blackpool earlier this year where they had posters with all of the years and animals. The background is a scroll from a Chinese takeaway that I cut down and painted orange. (I don't eat take aways but asked if I could have an old scroll and they gave me two.) I just painted it roughly as I t...

Hello All who drop in to Jumbled Crafts. Start of another week and I hope you will have lots of ideas and enjoy whatever you have planned for this week.  At Wicked Wednesday the theme is Support Our Troops I couldn't think what to do with this so I used a black ATC card and added two figures from Google and white text. They are sold by the Graphics Dollar Depot but I couldn't find out how to buy them in the UK. Next it is the turn of Every Inchie Monday and this week they have' throne' for us as the theme. Always wonderful ideas from my fellow inchiers so why not join us with one of your own. I drew/copied this shape of throne onto a piece of paper them cut it out and mounted it on heart paper. Thought you might like to see this butterfly that my husband, Vic, made over the weekend. We both love watching sport on television but need to have something else to do at the same time. Over the weekend we watched the Ryder Cup and I knitted and Vic made this beautiful butterfl...

Hi All. Hope you have lots planned for the weekend. I am up very early as we have paid for Sky television for a few days so that we can watch the Ryder Cup Golf. It all works through the Playstation so is a mystery to me but very enjoyable. Thank you for dropping by today. At Butterfly Challenges the theme this time is Autumn Colours I used Spiced Marmalade Distress Ink for the background and it was an old tag that I was recycling so had lots of texture to pick up the colour. Vic got some boxes from the loft that were full of things I had made ages ago and so I thought I would rescue a few things to recycle. The twinchie is one of them and so are the flowers. Nice to bring them back to life on this background using a new colour I haven't had for long. I am also going to enter this at two of the blogs where I always join in as they have the same theme-- Tag Along  and Moo Mania and More Now for another page for Art Journal Journey where the theme is still Living Beings.  The ...

Hello Everyone and a warm welcome to Jumbled Crafts today. Collage Obsession has just started up again and wants us to post something to test the new Linky. I have chosen few digital collages I did way back in 2005. Lovely to have the challenges back and can't wait to get going again. Don't have to be digital so do join in. Have a great day everyone and thank you for calling in Love Chrissie x

Hello Folks. Hope you enjoy the whimsical piece I have done today. I do love my Digital Indulgence for Three Muses Challenge . It doesn't have to be digital but I so enjoy using my Paint Shop Pro to create something. This week the theme is to alter a playing card and there are some great ideas already. My daft side came to the fore-think it must be the cooler weather :) 'His contract said he could do what he liked on his day off so here he is off to races.' Have a fun day all and thank you for popping in. Love Chrissie x
