Who Lives in a House Like This?

By
I am just loving the new Holiday Home stamp set from Stampin' Up, it's really useful for quick one layer cards like this


Which is lucky 'cos this is my card for the new challenge over on Make My Monday. The theme is Halloween - can you tell which house is haunted?
The images were all stamped in a basic black ink and a moon was sponged through a post it note mask with Daffodil Delight and Pumpkin Pie ink - you have to use Pumpkin Pie ink on all Halloween cards - it's the law!

It is very Autumnal here now and my garden is full of fallen leaves - it makes a very pretty carpet of reds, yellows and oranges. It's my favourite time of year and I love to paint Autumn leaves - just like this one in fact


I painted this a few years ago but found it framed and forgotten in an old cupboard. I'm sorting out all my painting gear as I am thinking of starting to paint again and this was at the back of the cupboard where I keep my paints, brushes and paper - I thought I'd give it a bit of an airing just in case it disappears again!
See you soon xx

    Fun card - I think that splash of colour works really well and I love the little spider in the corner. Beautiful painting!

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.
