Ruth's Sketch

By
Good morning all - I have scheduled this post because I have having a few days break in exotic Shropshire. Actually I'm visiting Mum and Dad but it's good to get away.
Today is the start of a new month of challenges over on the 52 {Christmas} Card Throwdown and it's the turn of Ruth to choose the challenges. This week we have this lovely sketch

And here is my card


I've kept it very clean and simple and let the sentiment take centre stage and as it's Ruth's month I thought that I had better show the inside too - take a look

    Lovely! I really like the way you've framed the stamped sentiment. A very elegant card.

    Have a good time with your parents.

    Hello Jacqueline, I LOVE the way the sentiment takes centre stage on your card! A fab traditional colour combo and that gorgeous brad adds such a luxurious touch! SO happy to see the inside too! ; ) Ruth x

    I'm not sure which I like better - the way you've made the sentiment the focus of the card and the decorative way you've matted it, or the pretty bow with the fabby brad detail perched over the scalloped border. The traditional color scheme is great, too.

    I love how you made this a square shape and that the sentiment takes the main focus. Really lovely (inside and out).

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.
