Use Your Stash at TIOT

Hello Everyone and thank you for visiting Jumbled Crafts.

Lovely entries for the 'Wish you were here' Challenge at Try it on Tuesday and now it is time for a new challenge which I am sure you will love as it is Use Your Stash.

 Pop and see what the rest of the team has made as I am sure you will be inspired to join in with us after seeing all the great ideas.for the challenge this time

I made a decorated a gift bag.

I assembled a few things that were stashed away and used the bag, the flowers, the spider's web stencil and the 2014 Demi Moore diary that my daughter bought for me just so I could cut out the pictures. I also used a Crafty Individuals stamp to cover the pink card as a background--it had never been out of the packet before.

I sent for some bags ages ago and when they arrived I realised they were the wrong size so they were hidden away in a cupboard until now.

 The bags were just too long so I decided to cut off the bottom then--

---stick the top inside it. This made the bag shorter and stronger as well. Then all I had to do was decorate the bag. The back is just a piece of patterned paper to cover up the join. I know some people will be saying that I could have made it smaller by folding the bottom again but I am useless at bag bottoms-anyone have a link to an easy tut I can follow for this?

Can't wait to see what everyone makes so do join in.

Have fun

Love Chrissie x

A Mixed Bag

Good Morning All. Wet and Gloomy here but I got up early and hope to have a crafting day. Thank you for dropping into Jumbled Crafts and enjoy whatever you have planned.

At Every Inchie Monday the theme this week is Quick

I used to love ballroom dancing and my favourite dance was the quick step so that is what I have chosen to put on my inchie this week. I decoupages the skirt and legs to give it dimension.

At Moo Mania and More the theme is Hot Summer and we have had a really lovely hot summer

I made a small postcard and added a Moo, some Tanda stamps and a freubels freebies image.

Last but not least I did another Frida Kahlo page for Art Journal Journal

I found this lovely photograph of Frida and digitized it, added the quote and printed it out. Then I just picked out little bits to colour in pale shades. I think it will make a nice front for a Frida Kahlo Journal

Hope you all enjoy your day

Hi All and welcome to Jumbled Crafts. Thank you for dropping by and I hope you like what you find here

This week at Wicked Wednesday the theme is Something Sweet

I did a bright background with Dylusion spray inks then found a picture of a tub of ice cream and did a few addition to it.

At Tag Along the theme is butterflies and there are some very beautiful entries already.

My background is shaving foam technique with some spray inks The butterflies are cut from a page I bought a long time ago from our local craft shop. I put them on foam pads to raise them up from the tag.

That's all so far today but I may be back later with more.

Have a wonderful day everyone

Card and collage

Hello Everyone. How quickly the days are passing this week. I can't believe it is already Thursday and half of that has gone as well. Nice to have you find time to call in even when the time flies by so quickly--thank you 

At Tando Creative Challenge this time the layer is Lovely Layers and you have the whole of August to join in

I made this card for our neighbour who is moving to Scotland to help his son and family. We have loved having him as a neighbour and will miss him lots.

I made the papers for the card in Paint Shop Pro but the card with the butterflies on it was given to me by a friend so I cut some of it out into the shape for a layer on my card.

Then there are three of the beautiful Tando Stars from a grab bag of stars and also a bit of ribbon to add some extra colour to the top of the card.Think it may be 6 layers altogether.

Now to Three Muses this week where  the theme is Friends.

It is lovely to have friends and I have had many in my life--still have one from when I was 7 years old.

Then there are friends you wish you hadn't had and this collage is meant for one of those :(

Well I can't be nice all the time 

Hope your day is going well or went well if it is evening already.

Love

Journal page and tag

Hello to everyone who drops in to Jumbled Crafts and thank you for your visit. Always lovely to have people comment and to know I have so many friends in Blogland.

At Art Journal Journal it is the Frida Kahlo theme and there are some wonderful pages to admire in so many styles.

This is my fourth page for this month and I am sure there will be more from me as I really enjoying doing them

I used a background that I had already made and printed a picture of Frida onto it. Then I sat and looked at her and the page sort of evolved as though she was inspiring me to create it. Hope you like it.

I keep forgetting to show my Tag Tuesday tags even though I have made one every week since I joined. This week the theme is Song Titles

I love the song Send in the Clowns so I made a tag for that. The image is one of a sheet of four that a friend sent to me years ago. I haven't a clue who painted them as the copyright on the sheet is a distribution company. I did use all four of them to make a picture which hung on our bedroom wall for years so this is part of the picture recycled.

Hope your day goes well.

inchie and canvas

Hello Everyone. Nice to have you drop by Jumbled Crafts--thank you for taking the time to visit.

 At Every Inchie Monday this week it is Plum as the theme. I can't imagine what others will come up with for this theme as I could only think of the fruit--can't wait to see what is made for it.

I decoupaged the image and the plum name so it added some depth to this inchie.

At A Vintage Journey their theme is Time Flies and your work must have Tim Holtz techniques and products.

I used Distressed Inks on a craft sheet with water splashed on for the background. Then I added some Distressed Stain and sprayed here and there with Cosmic Shimmer mist. The middle is a part of something I made a while ago and I am recycling it to add some texture. The flower is made with the Tim Holtz Tattered Die and the clock I have had a while and not sure what make it is. The cogs are TH as well, the bird as I had that sent to me--I think it may be TH .

I followed the metal tape technique by Tim to make the tag with Time Flies on it

I love these mini Distressed Ink and have two sets of them now -it is good to try the colours before I buy the bigger version.

Have a nice day everyone

Hi All. Hope you are ready to enjoy the weekend whatever you are doing. Thank you for making a visit to Jumbled Crafts part of your day.

At Wicked Wednesday this week the theme is Leo

My daughter is a Leo and she is awesome in so many ways. Always has had cats in her life and she still has 3 -She is the fierce lion where business is concerned and softy lion that does lots of crafts and charity work. This is for her as it can't be easy to be AWESOME :)

Tag along has the beautiful theme Marie Antoinette this week

I found the picture on Google and themed my tag around the colours and the dress. I used a brass stencil by 'dream weaver' for the bows and flowers and coloured them with Distessed ink then added the same colour to my hand made flower. I found a bit of heart ribbon to match as well.

Happy Crafting Everyone
