Colour Challenge at 52 {Christmas} Card Throwdown

By
As I write this post I am enjoying a programme on the t.v dedicated to one of my favourite bands - R.E.M so if I drift off or break into song I apologise!
I am of coarse writing this last night and scheduling it for today - if you can understand that!
So - it's Colour challenge time at 52 {Christmas} Card Throwdown - here are the details

A lovely simple selection don't you think - this has been chosen again by my partner in crime Mynnette. Please pop over and pay her a visit too.
Here is card no.1


And a close up of the baubles


They have been cut on my Cuttlebug, layered and decorated with some red bling.

Card no.2


This card uses one of the first Stampin' Up sets that I bought - it's retired now but still very useful and is called Wondrous Gift.
Here's a close up


I have completely exhausted my stash of red gems on this card!
Hope you can find the time to pop over and take a look, why not join in and get organised for Christmas. I have 5 cards made now!
Thanks for looking, bye for now - Jacqueline xx

      Both cards are lovely but the second is brilliant Jacqueline! I love the red gems on the black and white card! I know just what you mean about scheduling - sometimes I don't know what I'm doing, when and in which time zone! Vicky x

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...
