Scrappin' with Summer Silhouettes

By
I have a scrap book page to show you today made using the Summer Silhouettes stamp set - I love it so much!
I also have a great fondness for Crumb Cake card stock and so I used that as my base - take a look


My banners were actually scrap pieces - I just stamped and sponged them (much better than binning them don't you think?)
The photos are of my Grandma and Granddad - no longer with us now, Granddad passed away at Christmas so this was quite an emotional piece to do.
I will add some journaling later before I put it in my album.
Here's a close up


Aren't those flower heads stunning?
My little journaling tabs were made by inserting more scrap strips into  the Blossom punch half way so it only partially punches I think it gives an interesting shape and also uses up more scraps!

Materials - Stampin' Up
Stamps: Summer Silhouettes
Ink: Crumb Cake, Gumball Green, Pumpkin Pie
Card Stock: Crumb Cake (12" x 12") Naturals Ivory
Accessories: Blossom Punch
(Unfortunately Sale-a-bration is now over however Stampin' Up still has a Summer Mini catalogue on the go as well as the Annual catalogue. Please feel free to place an order with me, I can have it delivered direct to your door. Please e-mail me or see all the details in the top tabs).

I am writing this and watching a film at the same time - it's Steel Magnolias. I've seen it loads of times and it always makes me cry - a lot. Guess I'd better go fetch a box of tissues!
See you soon - Jacqueline xx

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

 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.
