Workshop Coffee Filter Mini Album - Part 1.

By
As promised - here are some pics of what we did today at my workshop.

We made today a 'Coffee Filter Mini Album'. That is - we took some coffee filter bags and covered them top and bottom. This made a pocket into which we inserted some tabbed file pages ready to be journaled. These are the first six finished pages of my album - I will show you the reverse side tomorrow.
I used some Cosmo Cricket scrap book pages and inked the edges with some Distress Inks. The embellishments are all Cosmo Cricket as are the words and ribbon.
So the pictures are (from top left) - my Great Gran Rose, my Grandma Hilda - both of these ladies are no-longer with us, and my Mum and Dad on their wedding day. Bottom left - me as a baby (eek!) me on my wedding day and my two children
This is such a fun project to do and next week at my Thursday night workshop we will be making Paper Bag Albums - can't wait. See you soon - 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.
