HAPPY NEW YEAR

By
Hello everyone - I hope everyone's celebrations over the weekend went well, I'm sorry to say that I did not wait up for midnight and went to bed at a bout 10.30. Am I the only one or did anyone else think that there wasn't anything worth watching on the TV? Got woken by the fireworks though and then again at 2.30am when my daughter rolled in!!
OK so it's a New Year and what better way to celebrate than taking part in one of my favourite challenges Simply Stampin'.
They have a sketch for us to follow this week - take a look


I found this to be quite a challenging sketch (which is the whole point I guess) but after a lot of thought and deliberation this is what I came up with


My colours are from the new In Colour palette - Island Indigo and Lucky Limeade and some added Whisper White. I also used the Pennants Punch and the Boho Blossoms Punch. The stamped bird is from my Everything Eleanor set and the pennants were stamped with the Pennant Parade set. A few pearls and ribbon finished the card nicely.
Thanks for joining me today - hope to see you again soon - Jacqueline xx

    Oooh, very bold and dramatic colour combo, it makes for a very striking, eyecatching card! I love how the birdie is perched on the ribbon and the flowers between the bunting is a lovely touch!

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...

For one reason or another I haven't played this game for a few weeks - you know the one over on  Julia's blog  - go and see if you don't know what I'm on about. I have missed playing along as I love all the lovely comments left by fellow crafters and so I have purposely made time to join in this week. 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.
