And the good news is ........

yay - I have a working scanner again! I stole my husband's as mine really had bit the dust - still it's done him a favour as he now has more room on his desk!!
Today's card is inspired by the sketch challenge over on Splitcoast stampers - it was a very clean and simple design so I kept my card quite simple too

It starts off as a 5" x 5" cream card blank and I matted and layered some Baja Breeze and cream card stock - the sentiment banner uses the same. The stamp set is Vintage Vogue and uses Baja Breeze and Sage Shadow inks.
I am feeling a little shell-shocked today - I went to an AGM meeting last night (I'm the bookings manager for our local village hall) and I managed to come away from the meeting as the new secretary. How did that happen?! I'm sure that I wil be fine at the job - I just hope I can find the time speaking of which - I have a workshop that I need to finish preparing for. Really looking forward to that as we are making Paper Bag Mini Albums. I am half way through making up a sample and I've taken photos so I will probably post a tutorial on Friday - bye for now - Jacqueline xx.

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.
