Sketch Time at 52CCT

By
That's right folks - it's Saturday and time for a new challenge at 52 {Christmas} Card Throwdown and this month Danielle is choosing our challenges.
This week it's Sketch week - take a look

For my card this week I have used some retired stamps and my Stampin' Write markers


Such a lovely set don't you agree? I decorated inside too - take a look


Materials
Stamps: Pines and Poinsettias (retired), Sassy Salutations
Ink: Early Espresso, Cherry Cobbler, Gumball Green, Lucky Limeade - all Stampin' Write Markers
Card Stock: Whisper White, Naturals White, Early Espresso
Paper: Candlelight Christmas DSP
Accessories: Dimensionals
(See the tabs at the top of the page for all the details on placing orders and special offers).

I'm off now - visiting my Mum and Dad, they are finding it hard sorting and closing granddad's house so I am going to lend a hand. Granddad's ashes are also going to be interred while I'm there but - it won't be all sadness. It's Mum's birthday too so hopefully some good times too.

I can't wait to see what you do with Danielle's sketch and don't forget to pop on over and see what the DT have done this week too.
See you soon - Jacqueline xx

    This is a lovely card - I do like the pine cones, and that bold sentiment inside is fab!

    I hope all goes well closing up your Grandad's house - I remember doing a similar thing with my mum when my Nanna died. It turned into a day of shared memories as we found things that Nanna had kept from my childhood - hugs to you x

    This is just stunning, Jacqueline! LOVE that pine cone stamp--I didn't get that set and am now slapping my forehead because of it, lol! Good luck with your task--it's never fun to have to go through an entire household. HUGS! :)

    It's a stunning set Jacqueline and it looks gorgeous made into tiles like this. I like the way you overlapped your outer two with the middle one. It's so difficult mixing the sad with the happy but I suppose that is life. Take care, 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.
