Vintage Christmas

By
It's week 23 at Make My Monday and we have a brand new challenge theme chosen by Suzi B. It's a CHRISTMAS  theme and the first challenge is VINTAGE/TRADITIONAL.
Here is my card


I have really gone too town with my embossing powder - it's all around the edge as well as outlining the red poinsettias. The vintage images are some I was sent by my good friend Cath and fit in so well with this theme.
Please find the time to pop over and have a look as we have a lovely Guest Designer - Mynnette for the whole of November.
See you soon - Jacqueline xx

    Oh, I love that you went to town with the embossing powder! The effect is A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!!! All that gold is so holiday-esque (a new word I made up just for your card!)!!! Beautiful job! :)

Yikes - I'm a bit late posting today, but when I got into my studio this morning I had forgotten that it looked like this I had a big family lunch yesterday and 'cos our house is so small, I have to keep stuff moving from room to room in order for there to be enough space. So I got to work straight away and now my desk looks like this There is a hidiously green magnetic board complete with snail magnets that I won in a raffle - just right for altering, some wooden drawer knobs onto which I will attach some foam to use with my disress inks and my chipboard albums from last week that I didn't get round to doing. Also found when clearing from one room to another was my old jewelery display board which will soon be converted to a card display board and an old set of corner shelves. All they needed was a quick flick of a J-Cloth and a spray of Flash (oops advertising - other cleaning products are avaliable) and they now stand proudly in my craft room displaying my most recent cr...

My work space is quite long and this week I have managed to use up all available surfaces .........with mess! starting at the left hand end  This is the devestation left from yestersday's Project Tuesday challenge and some atc making. Moving on This is where I usualy do all my 'messy' crafting hence all the Distress Inks and paints. However at the moment there is a rather large pile of paper work in the way (meeting minutes and accounts etc) - this really needs to be tackled asap - however still moving on This is the other end where I am piling up all the bits and pieces for my workshop tomorrow night - we are doing medallion cards - so much to do so l...
