Hi All and a happy new week. Thank you for popping in at Jumbled Crafts. Happy T Day to my friends from Elizabeth and Bluebeard's Tuesday get together. Happy 4th Anniversay to their T a Day posts. This week we haven't been far at all as we both like watching Wimbledon so have stayed home and just had a short walk somewhere in the morning. Short walk meaning 10,000 steps if possible  This is my meal in a bowl and a drink. It is quick to make and means I can nibble at it with a fork and watch television with a nice cup of tea. It is a tuna salad with grapes. I was going to be really clever this week and make a tea cup and saucer with beautiful additions. This came about because I decided to clear out lots of old folders on my computer and this project was in one of them I made the cup ok, then thought WHY? It may or not get finished. The picture in the cup is how it should look. This week at Every Inchie Monday we have Buffalo as the theme I used an outline found on Google, made...

Hi All. I hope your week has gone well and that you will enjoy the weekend. Thank you, as always, for visiting Jumbled Crafts. I made another page for Art Journal Journey where Bluebeard and Elizabeth have chosen the the theme Summertime Love. I thought of the Summer of Love in the 60s The colours and patterns were a sign of the times and the message that was being put across was strong and powerful at the time. At Moo Mania and More their theme this time is Africa I designed an ATC with a mask shape I coloured then photographed and used digitally with a patterned background and giraffe brushes I made in Paint Shop Pro. I printed it out on photopaper and it has strong colours, ready to swap. Here are a few more of the plants in our garden taken yesterday by Vic  Rowan berries on a baby rowan tree that my daughter grew from seed  Astilbes campanula--the bumbles bees have a nest under this plant fennel-the seeds and leaves taste lovely  feverfew--good for headaches  ...

Hi All. Hope you are having a good week. It seems to be flying by for me though I do keep watching the tennis so no wonder the hours just disappear. Doing lots of knitting as well so I don't just sit watching television.   At Tag Tuesday we have started a new theme chosen by our teamie  Wilma who  has given us Cake--not to eat but to use on a tag. My tag today is digital and delicious-well without the mice it would be. Now to Go Tag Thursday and the theme this week is 'Button It' so you need to add buttons or a button somewhere on your tag. So I digitized a face and printed it out with a body then added a hat with knitted flowers and a cardigan to match. Her hands and arms are behind her back so you can't see any sleeves. :) As a bonus until Next Monday evening, any tags that you make we would love you to add them to the challenge at Try it On Tuesday where you could be chosen as one our TOP 5 or even get a place as guest designer in the future. Hope to see you at a...

Hello Friends and Followers. Nice to have you pop in today and thank you for your visit. At Tag Tuesday this time Wilma our teamie has chosen Cake as the theme I went straight out of the cake tin and into a Goth Wedding where the couple can't decided which cake to choose for the happy day. We have seen a few Goth Weddings when we have visited Whitby and they are terrific events with wonderful costumes worn by all. Vic isn't keen on me taking photographs of the Goths though I am sure they wouldn't mind. If you dress as they do I would think you crave attention. Their clothes and make-up are amazing. At Every Inchie Monday this week the theme the animal Fly As I have only being the heads of all the animal inchies this year I found a drawing of a fly's head--yuk. The colour choices are mine and may not be real Happy T Day if you have arrived from Altered Book Lover blog where Elizabeth and Bluebeard invite everyone to join in on Tuesday with a drink related post- or par...

Second post from me today. The weekend has flown by and we had a beautiful sunny day here today. Hope your weekend went well and thank you for calling in again at Jumbled Crafts. At Sunday Postcard Art the theme is Nostalgia/Times gone by and I couldn't resist making a postcard for this. This is my brother and me in the swimwear of the 1940s. The bathing costume I had on belonged to my mum but it would fit anyone from a baby to the biggest lady on the beach. It was an orange colour and faded a lot over the years. I made it into a tag as well for our challenge at Tag Tuesday  as the theme is Beach chosen by Joan You still have all tomorrow to join in with us there so hope you can make a tag before the new theme starts on Tuesday. Another fun theme then. Photographs of Oscar helping his mum with the chores Lots of office work to finish off in bed and Felix looks on in the background I need to clean out this dishwasher before anyone comes  in and sees it The hall floor needs a ...

Hello Everyone. I hope you are enjoying the weekend and fitting in some crafting along the way .Nice of you to call in at Jumbled Crafts-thank you. I have been watching tennis and doing more knitting so the craft room is filling up with fluffy creatures.  At Country View Crafts the theme this month is Things With Wings. I added a page to one of my journals. The background is painted in pale pink then I threw on some Cosmic Shimmer while the paint was wet. I left some to act as a nest and painted the other to form part of the page. This nest was for my coloured owl that I had cut from one of my colouring books Then I stamped on some leaves, added a quote and a couple of little flowers that I coloured in pale shades. I did the pale shades as More Mixed Media has anything goes as usual but with the option to add pastels. I would like to add this to Emerald City Crafts  as well as they are having their very first challenge and it is Anything Goes but it can't be digital. The nex...

Hi All. Hope the sun is shining where you are and you will enjoy your day. Thank you for making me a part of your  day by calling in at Jumbled Crafts At Go Tag Thursday the theme this week is In the Garden This is a digital tag for the theme with digital painting, effects and brushes. Then-------  Is this a tag? Not sure really but I am hoping it is. I did some weaving with wooden lollipop sticks to make some garden trestle then added flowers and creatures. It does hang up like a tag. Tag Tuesday has the theme The Beach chosen by one of the team, Joan . I have gone back to my childhood here though it was all different when I was young. On Holiday men mostly wore a collar and tie and we had our best clothes on even to go on the beach. We went together as a large family and there was lots of fun and laughter for the whole week. Doesn't look very much fun does it ? If you make any tags or tag related projects during the next 11+ days I hope you will join us at Try it on Tuesday...
