Sketch Challenge at Simply Stampin'

By
We have a lovely sketch to follow this week at Simply Stampin' - take a look


Here is my card


I started out with a 5" x 5" card base on to which I added some Poppy Parade card stock and some of my new Sale-a-bration paper.  Then using some Very Vanilla card stock I stamped the two sentiments from My Friend in Lucky Limeade ink. I also used Lucky Limeade for my leaves, more of the Poppy Parade and DSP for my flowers. I added a little sparkle to the flowers in the form of flat backed gems.
I used at least four paper punches too - 2 Step Bird, 5 Petal Flower, Boho Blossoms and the Scallop Edge Punch.
There are some fabulous DT cards over at Simply Stampin' and they have a Guest Designer. It's a lady I have been following for a couple of years now and she does fantastic work - Monica Gale. Please pop over and take a look - I promise you won't be disappointed.

I've been feeling very chilly today so I 'm going to light myself a fire and curl up on the sofa and read for the rest of the evening. My husband is on kitchen duty and as we speak is poaching salmon steaks and stir-frying noodles mmmmm can't wait!!
Bye for now - Jacqueline xx

    Oh my goodness, this is GORGEOUS Jacqueline! I can't wait to get my inky mitts on the 'My Friend' set. I'm getting it as part of my birthday pressie from hubby and it is absolutely killing me to know the stamps are squirelled away somewhere in the house! Just a few weeks to go but patience has never been my strong point!

    Thanks so much for joining us at Simply Stampin' again and I really hope we see you playing along with us again soon - and do feel free to use the My Friend stamp set when you do! Ruth 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...

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.
