Autumn Collection.

By
Today is the 1st of October and this weekend is Harvest Festival in our village. I decorated the church gates this morning with brightly coloured chrysanthamums and this afternoon put the finishing touches to my autumnal cards ready for the 'Harvest Sale and Exhibition' at the village hall.  

This is one of my creations - since I saw this box idea on a blog a while ago I have made quite a few. I mostly make them with 4 drawers but this one has been made with 1 drawer and I printed off next year's calendar and stuck that on too. If I could have found any for sale in the shops I would have put a block of post-it notes in the drawer, but alas - none in the shops. Here's a close up of the front

I love the Autumn Days stamp set and here is another card I made using the little leaf stamp

These cards have been made using the gorgeous Stampin' Up Earth Elements colours - perfect for autumn.
OK - I need to get organised now and pack up all my stuff for the sale tomorrow. I'm hoping the weather picks up a bit so we get plenty of punters spending loads of money. Have a great weekend folks - see you soon - Jacqueline xx.

    I love all the autumnal colours so these are right up my street! What a great gift idea the little stationery drawer and calendar is! Hope the sale goes really well for you.

    I love these Jacqueline. The little drawered calendar box is so cute. Is that Bird on a Branch that I spy on the card? How clever to add the leaves to it. I must get my Autumn Days set back out - it's the perfect time now isn't it.

Beauty of the Deep

I do love my nature stamps and I also love stamps of the sea whether it be above or below the waves. I have taken possession of a new set from the catalogue called Beauty of the Deep. I have made a card with this set as it lends it's self perfectly to the the new Boho Blue In Colour. It also has a gorgeous little fish which I couldn't wait to use - take a look Although I've mostly used blue ink I had added white highlights with a gel pen and then to finish it off a little sparkly blue gem. Thanks for stopping by today - if you wish to place an order or request a catalogue please drop me a message at  jacquelinenm68@gmail.com

Starting the Year with a Christmas Card

 I have decided to try and get on top of my Christmas cards early this year and so far it’s going well!!! Here is a card that has been made using the Sweet Gingerbread set - I love gingerbread houses and the stamps and matching dies are really cute. I used the sketch from  52 Christmas Card Throwdown  - this is a brilliant Christmas challenge blog (I started it many years ago with Mynn Kitchen) and it’s a perfect way to get organised with Christmas crafting. Thank for stopping by today - see you soon - J xx

In The Frame.

Yesterday was birthday and my lovely husband bought me some crafting stash. Unfortunately he duplicated an ink pad (Distress Ink - Tea Dye) but the craft shop where he bought it were very kind and let me exchange it for something else. That something was a fab little Crafty Individuals stamp. So I raced home, turned my craft room upside down looking for my EZ Mount, and made this card for this week's Less is More  challenge. This week the girls wanted a one layer card with the theme 'In the Frame' Here is my card I made this by first masking off an area in the center of the card - directly on to a 5" x 5" white card blank. Then using my brayer I added some yellow, blue and green ink to the card. The masks were removed and the image was stamped over the brayered square. Thanks ladies for another fantastic challenge - Jacqueline xx.
