The Open Sea

By
So, in amongst all the madness and mayhem of the last week and a half-ish there have been some wonderful havens of calm. One such haven was found at my friend Jane's workshop - please do visit her blog here at the Petite Fleur Paperie as she has some stunning work to show off.
On the day we made cards using the very masculine set - The Open Sea. This is a set I have very much fallen in love with now and will probably be adding it to my wishlist! - Take a look at the cards I made


The first one is a large A5 size card and is the one I have chosen to give to my husband today on his birthday. Along with the stamps I have used various inks and card stock in Not Quite Navy, Primrose Petals, Raspberry Ripple, Tempting Turquoise and Crumb Cake.



The second two are smaller A6 size cards and use the same colours as above.

So - is everyone looking forward to the weekend and the extra day on Monday? I must admit to being a little miffed as my This and That delivery would have probably arrived Monday and I will have to wait a whole extra day!! - Hope you all have a good one, please pop back tomorrow for my weekly Christmas challenge card. This week Mynnette has an awesome sketch for us - see you soon - Jacqueline xx

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.
