Hi All. Beautiful morning here and no wind for a change so we are going to the car boot sale later to see what bargains there are to be had. Last time we went we bought an unused foot spa/massager for £3 and it has had lots of use already. Thank you for calling in and big welcome to my latest follower. Today I have a fusion journal page using a photograph of ours and also a photograph of part of a cross stitch picture my daughter did years ago. It is for Art Journal Journey where the theme for June is Masculine/Feminine and for Moo Mania and More where Anything goes. Hope to see you at both. Lots of effects and jiggery pokery in Paint Shop Pro. This was part of a large tapestry-one of many that my daughter did years ago when she was a cross stitch addict. Pleased to say she has recovered but is now a patchwork and fancy cake making addict--two for the price of one.;0) Difficult to show all the little cross stitches The photograph was taken in Peasholme Park in Scarborough. They always ...

Hello Everyone and a special warm welcome to my latest follower who makes the 140th friend to my blog. Thank you to all who visit, I always love to read your comments and to visit your blogs as well. The new theme at Art Journal Journey  started on Monday and I am sure it will bring in lots of wonderful ideas for Valerie and Susi's challenge  The theme is Masculine/ Feminine so lots of things to think about for me. I based this digital collage on the old rhyme that tells of the differences of the sexes My tag today for the fruit theme Tag Tuesday  is strawberriful I love the look of them on the fruit and veg stalls as they brightened up the whole thing. Have a great day whatever you are doing Love Chrissie xx

Hello Everyone A lovely sunny day here so I am off for an early walk before I settle down for a day of tennis watching. I do knit while I watch and have even started drawing sometimes while I watch so that passes as exercise I reckon. Have a lovely day and thank you for your visit. At Every Inchie Monday the theme this week is pillow. I hope this one looks soft enough to send you to sleep Next today it is farewell to Artful Times as they sadly close on June 3rd. I made this as my DT piece there on 9th May 2014 but I have altered it to wish Neet and Wendy Good Luck in what they are doing in the future. Before I made this I didn't even know what Mail Art was and I did enjoy all the different ideas at Artful. Love Chrissie xx

Hello Everyone, We have very heavy rain here today so it will be a crafting and sport watching day for me. Hope the weather is good where you are and thank you for visiting Jumbled Crafts and making my day brighter. It is the last day of the sea theme at Art Journal Journey  and I have really enjoy seeing all the beautiful works of art. Thank you to Susi and Valerie for making so many people happy with their wonderful challenge ideas and for showing all the entries together on Pinterest I hadn't got anything ready for this last day so I have just done a digital piece with some things from a page I got free somewhere but I can't remember where--if it is yours please let me know and I will add your name to this post At Collage Obsession the theme this week is masks My base for the collage is from Gecko Galz and the mask I had in a folder waiting for such a theme to come along. I added lots of effects and the flowers are a paint brush in Paint Shop Pro. Have a great day Love Ch...

Hi All. Nice to have you drop by Jumbled Crafts and a big thank you for your visit. Wonderful entries for the Sewing/Buttons challenge so don't forget to call back to TIOT next week to see if you were one of the top 5 we picked. Time for a new challenge at Try it on Tuesday  where you can see what the others in the wonderful team have made as well. The theme this time is 'Crowning Glory' so all you have to do is include a crown on your project then add a link to TIOT on your post and link it to us. You have 2 weeks to enter so get your thinking cap on and think who/what you might like to crown  I made a birthday card for a special friend. I drew a crown shape then printed it onto the back of a piece of patterned card. I also cut the letters from the same card using my Cuttlebug. I made the crumpled flower and added some jewels to match the flower.  Then I took a photograph of the card and made an insert of the image for the insert and added Queen for a Day Here is the cr...

Hi All who pop into Jumbled Crafts. Thank you for visiting and I hope you enjoy the projects that I have posted today. Not a bad morning here so I expect we will be choosing one of the many events here in Bridlington and joining some of the many holiday makers that have been here for the long weekend. At Every Inchie Monday the theme this week is envelope. Mine is a paper one that I made in Paint Shop Pro. and stuck onto felt. I have already seen two of the fab inchies others have made, an amazing sewn one and one all in beads. Difficult to imagine how different people have so many ideas. Moo Mania and More have the theme bottles this time and Art Journal Journey have the theme the sea for the rest of May so this page will be ok for both. I tried to paint a row of rocks that go out to sea and the water splashes against them-not sure that worked too well to be honest. When we walked along the beach I often make up daft poetry so I made up one for this page. Apologies to Wordsworth for ...

Hello Everyone. Hope you are looking forward to the weekend. Here in the UK it is a Bank Holiday again so a long weekend for many. Thank you for dropping by and making my day. Lots of sport for me to watch this weekend and also an event at Sewerby Hall to fit in as well. Just a reminder that there is still time to join us at Try it on Tuesday for the sewing or buttons challenge. You can use either or both, faux or real so I hope you will be able to make something for the challenge and have a chance to be chosen by the team as one of our top 5  At Art Journal Journey the theme is The Sea until the end of May and there are wonderful pages to admire from the many entries. All of the pages are displayed in an album each time so you can see the collection. This is a part of a photograph that I took, out of the window, at the cafe on top of our only high shop buildings. I changed it with effects to look like a painting. This is the original photograph with a nosy seagull looking throug...
