Happy Birthday to CAS-ual Fridays

By
OK - I'm posting late at night again so this will be a quick post again. I decided at about 9.30 tonight that I just had to make a card and came up with this


These orange and red flowers remind me so much of the marigolds my Grandpa used to grow years ago - I used to love the smell of them!
But I digress - today CAS-ual Fridays are a year old - happy birthday!
To celebrate the challenge this week is a Clean and Simple birthday card - hope mine qualifies.
The stamp set is SU Field Flowers and they are stamped in Pumpkin Pie, cherry Cobbler and Sage Shadow ink.

So no Dr Who marathon this evening, my husband and I (eek I sound like the Queen!) have recently discovered The Big Bang Theory and find it hilarious so we've been watching that all night!
Please pop back tomorrow as it's time for the 52 {Christmas} Card Throwdown again and I will have some Christmas cards to share with you - see you soon - Jacqueline xx

    OH MY WORD I AM SO HAPPY YOU FOUND THE BIG BANG THEORY!!! It's one of my and my DH's faves, too!!! If you don't mind creepy and a bit gross in sci-fi, then you'll like Fringe, too. But, back to the card. ;) LOVE the simply use of the beautiful images to create marigolds! FABULOUS! :) Have a great weekend!

Beauty of the Deep

I do love my nature stamps and I also love stamps of the sea whether it be above or below the waves. I have taken possession of a new set from the catalogue called Beauty of the Deep. I have made a card with this set as it lends it's self perfectly to the the new Boho Blue In Colour. It also has a gorgeous little fish which I couldn't wait to use - take a look Although I've mostly used blue ink I had added white highlights with a gel pen and then to finish it off a little sparkly blue gem. Thanks for stopping by today - if you wish to place an order or request a catalogue please drop me a message at  jacquelinenm68@gmail.com

Starting the Year with a Christmas Card

 I have decided to try and get on top of my Christmas cards early this year and so far it’s going well!!! Here is a card that has been made using the Sweet Gingerbread set - I love gingerbread houses and the stamps and matching dies are really cute. I used the sketch from  52 Christmas Card Throwdown  - this is a brilliant Christmas challenge blog (I started it many years ago with Mynn Kitchen) and it’s a perfect way to get organised with Christmas crafting. Thank for stopping by today - see you soon - J xx

In The Frame.

Yesterday was birthday and my lovely husband bought me some crafting stash. Unfortunately he duplicated an ink pad (Distress Ink - Tea Dye) but the craft shop where he bought it were very kind and let me exchange it for something else. That something was a fab little Crafty Individuals stamp. So I raced home, turned my craft room upside down looking for my EZ Mount, and made this card for this week's Less is More  challenge. This week the girls wanted a one layer card with the theme 'In the Frame' Here is my card I made this by first masking off an area in the center of the card - directly on to a 5" x 5" white card blank. Then using my brayer I added some yellow, blue and green ink to the card. The masks were removed and the image was stamped over the brayered square. Thanks ladies for another fantastic challenge - Jacqueline xx.
