Snowflakes

It's 52CCT time again and this week the theme is SNOWFLAKES - here is the first of my cards today



I have found a load of Christmas stash in one of my cupboards - it was some given to me a long time ago for my craft club. There is loads there so I snaffled a bit for my cards today! The green tree paper is actually 8" x 8" and it has been cut to fit a 5" x 5" card, I added some glitter to the trees and then embellished with some snowflake stickers.



I used another of the sheets of paper for this card and really didn't do much else except add a few flat backed gems and a 3D die cut snowflake in metallic purple paper.

OK - so far so good, this is my third attempt today to post this as my lap top is still refusing to behave it's self, I'm starting to think a visit to the shop might be in order - better start hunting for the receipt!

Please pop by Mynnette's blog to see her beautiful Christmassy creations and I will be back soon - Jacqueline xx

    I hope your computer starts to act appropriately. Sometimes I wish I could put my computer in time out! ;) These are FABULOUS--and I LOVE that you found supplies you haven't used and forgot about--I need to go through my stash! :)

    These are wonderful Jacqueline. I rather like the effect of those stickers and the purple snowflake is gorgeous! Good luck with finding the receipt - I think they go to the same place socks go to - you know, just one from a pair! Vicky x

    And where teaspoons go.... (to continue Vicky's thoughts above)
    I love how different these two cards are. I always tend to do the same sort of thing with snowflakes... must be time for a change!

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...
