Hello Everyone from a wet and grey NE UK. The forecast says sun so it could come along any time soon. Nice to have you join me today at Jumbled Crafts--thank you for your wonderful comments and and all the encouragement they bring to me. At Craft-room Challenge this time the theme is Vintage Christmas As the challenge is being sponsored by Crafty Individuals I used one of their stamps for this card. The card was embossed with two Cuttlebug folders and the next layer had a free paper I downloaded and printed out. I made the flower by printing out some shapes in different sizes. Used Distress ink around the edges. I made another one as well with images from Gecko Galz and the free to use music sheet I found online. This is inked around the edges with Distress ink I will be entering these at My Perfect Life where Marina has encouraged me to make Christmas Cards by joining in her challenge  Have a lovely day everyone Chrissie xx

No Halloween visitors yet for us and there are usually quite a few by now--Vic says he will eat the goodies to help out--he is good that way. :) Hope your day has gone well and thank you for calling in. At Tag Along the Theme is Witchy Women Here is mine with a Distress Ink background and a digitized face with a witches hat I drew. I also added a little mirror and you can see my finger reflected in it when I took the photograph of the tag. Added some plastic stars as well. Wicked Wednesday want to see Things That Go Bump in The Night I made a background with the witch and the ghosts and I reckon the ghosts will soon be going bump when the Witch hits them with her club. This ATC is now printed out and ready to photograph but my camera battery needs recharging. Sleep well if it is night time where you are Love Chrissie x

Hello Everyone. Hope you are somewhere nice and warm. The south of the UK is supposed to be amazing today but here in the north it is wet, cold and misty so far--I am hopeful for later.  Enjoy Halloween if it is your thing and thank you for dropping by. At Collage Obsession they have the theme Bride and you can be spooky if you like-great news as my collages are often spooky even when it isn't Halloween I adapted a collage I had done many years ago-before blogs even. When I was a child we had a doctor who used to say, 'Come closer I don't bite'. He scared me when we used to go and see him. This is my original collage-heaven knows why we were encouraged to add a copyright mark to the things we did in those days as the model certainly wasn't my design though I did add my own flowers to her hair and maybe even gave her a bit more hair at the time. Everything else was mine though. Have a spookful day all Love Chrissie x

Hello and thank you for your visit to Jumbled Crafts today. Hope you will enjoy what you find and particularly the couple photographs I am sharing with you today First things first-- At Three Muses the theme is Take Fright Most of my digital collages turn out scary anyway so it nice to be able to do one that was meant to be frightening. When I was younger I used to have awful nightmares quite often and the after effects lasted for hours and hours so I have tried to show this in my collage. I haven't had a nightmare for many a year so maybe I am following the quote which seems like good advice. I would like to share a couple of things with you This is our Christmas Cactus which we only just noticed had come into flower as it is kept in a dark corner in the summer because it doesn't like the sunlight. It is a cutting from a very old one that had got shabby looking but always had lots of flowers every year and this 'baby' looks as though it will be the same. Now for the s...

Hi All. Great to have you here at Jumbled Crafts. Thank you for visiting and I hope you enjoy what you find here. Loved the Spooky ideas for the last challenge at Try It On Tuesday  great makes from everyone who joined in and there were lots of you- always great to have you join in with us This time the theme is Autumn Colours. Autumn is always so beautiful and I am sure you will have great ideas to show us for this challenge. If you need any inspiration then pop along the TIOT  and see what my fellow DT buddies have made this time. I used real things from nature that I collected near to where I live--some as near as our own garden. The first thing I did was cover all the things I collected with Vaseline and left them for a couple of days. Then I wiped off the excess and could straighten out the leaves and use them as I wished for the picture. The two little leaves on the bottom picture where cut out with scissors from a larger leaf after it has the Vaseline treatment. When I ...

Hello Everyone. Hope your weekend went well. Nice to see that we have lighter mornings in the UK now that the clocks have changed. Thank you for calling in at Jumbled Crafts and I hope you enjoy what you find here At Every Inchie Monday the theme this week is vegetables. Here is mine with a humble carrot on a gold background to make it look more regal. I love carrots and eat at least one every day-sometimes cooked sometimes just to nibble raw My Christmas card making is like waiting for a bus--you wait for ages for one and then two come at the same time. I am joining Marina again at My Perfect Life  where she is still making beautiful Christmas cards each week for her 48 week challenge-week 42 now. These are a bit similar but I thought I would try some simpler cards. I used some hammered card I had for a while and just folded the A4 piece in half. The papers were printed out on the computer and at least one was my own design. The sentiments were all free on Google long ago. The fl...

Hello Everyone. Here I am a bit late today but we did take advantage of the sunny weather and went for a walk. It is the annual scooter rally here in Bridlington this weekend so there are thousands of people and hundreds of scooters all over the place. The smell of the fuel they use is heady and takes me back many years to when I was a teenager. Thank you for visiting Jumbled Crafts and for all the wonderful comments that I receive. At Collage Obsession this week we are asked to do something Eerie and there is a photograph of Boris Karloff as Frankenstein that you can use. My collages always seem eerie--I think I go into Eerie mode when I see the word collage. Heaven knows where this one took me. The theme at Speed Craft Challeng e this week is Halloween. I would like to thank the team for choosing my tag as the winner there last week I have made a card to give to the children a few doors away together with some goodies I bought today Stripes using Promarkers, Nestie shapes and a han...
