Mixed Up Saturday Review of 2019 (part 1)

Good Saturday Morning Ladies,

I thought I would start the year with a look back at some of our 'Mixed Craft' posts that I have featured on our Saturday Posts, these particular photos are from January to June 2019, they feature crafts from Myself, Janet, Karen and Lynda.

The first two photos (above start the review of my Mixed Crafts)  starting with a boxed set of cards.

I then went on to make....

 These two items were made for a 'Bag Topper' Swap over on our Facebook Group

These were made for a swap that I did with Kay. I love how they turned out.

This project I made for a Covered Notebook swap.

This Covered Notebook was a gift i made for Danielle.  

Janet

This lovely Mixed Media canvas was the first of Janet's Mixed Crafts las year, (notice the blue)! Definitely Janet's colourof 2019!! 😉

I love how Janet decorated this beautiful cabinet, it would make a beautiful storage piece for any craft room, lets face it, we all need more storage, especially when it's as pretty as this .

Janet is definitely our Queen of Boxes and these are show why she holds that title! Absolutely stunning Janet. 

Thank you for sharing some amazing crafts throughout 2019 Janet xxx

Karen

Karen knitted this amazing Cable Knit cardigan for Alan, I bet he loved it, I love cable knit anything,  I made cable knit wide Hair Bands for my girls when they were little,  they loved them.

Dave the Seagull was one of many Crocheted creatures that Karen created last year, I love him, so different,  the good thing is he can't pinch your chips or poop on your head!!!

Laurence the Tiger was another of Karen's cute Kerry Lord animals.

Sophie the Flamingo is just adorable,  Kerry Lord has created some incredible designs. 

This is Bradlee the Squirrel, look at that incredible tail !!

Knothead, was one of Karen's quirkier creations,   they all have such lovely expressions though.

Thank you so much Karen for contributing so many projects to our Mixed Craft posts, I love seeing your creations and look forward to seeing many more this year. xxx

Lynda 

Lynda made this lovely Pocket Letter for a Swap on our Facebook Group,  I believe it was her first one, it was amazing, everything coordinates beautifully. 

I hope to see photos of your new projects soon Lynda, I bet you are itching to get back in that craft room xxx

Michele's Magazine Review 

Hi Sandra

Double feature the next 2 weeks to catch up!

Papercraft Inspirations has different free gift to the usual ones- a spinner card pack.

Here’s some ideas of what you can make using the free gift.

This article shows a different style of card-looks interesting.

Ideas for someone who loves golf!

I received a letter from the publishers saying that this is the last issue of Papercraft Inspirations as the sakes weren’t enough for them to keep printing it.

Cardmaking & Papercraft has lovely set free this month-Stamps, Embossing Folder & papers.

Here’s the first of 2 photos showing what you can make using the free gift.

Part two.

Interesting article on Technicolour cards.

Great free papers this month-ideas on how to use them.

That’s it for this week.
Happy Crafting.

Love Michele

Thank you so much Michele for the First Magazine Review of 2020, this feature is definitely here to stay, we all love to see what's featured in different magazines,  so thay we can decide whether the free gift and featured articles are something we would be interested in.

It's sad that magazines end up closing, but I guess there is so much choice, there are more die cutting magazines now

for definite, I was surprised how many new ones there were when Paul and I popped into Smith's the other day, then there are all the individual companies Quarterly Specials too, Chloe, John Next Door,  now even Phill Martin has one too!  So we are spoilt for choice.  I have noticed with my Creative Stamping Magazine some of the features are VERY similar to this time last year, so I was thinking of changing to a different one.

Thanks again Michele xxx

Michele mentioned Meeting up in March at the NEC Birmingham,  while the Craft Show is on, maybe booking a hotel so thst we can all sit and chat too,  the Craft show is on the 19-22 March, if any of you are interested please let me know and we will get into looking around for good Hotel deals etc.  I would love to meet up with as many of you as possible! xxx

I hope that you all have a lovely weekend Ladies, 

Love and hugs to all of you,

Sandra
