Above and Beyond

By
During the last couple of weeks Mum and I have been helped out a lot with various things. Here's one of the Thank You cards I made


For this card I followed the theme over on The Male Room Blog


I added washi tape down the side of the card matching up the pattern to create stripes and embossed a section of the card with my dotty embossing folder.

The colours came from the Colour Throwdown blog


I used Old Olive, Coastal Cabana, Smoky Slate and Basic Gray.

The layout was inspired by the sketch over on theFreshly Made Sketches blog


My stamp set of choice was Wetlands - perfect for males cards and perfect for the recipient who lives by the river where there are literally hundreds of geese!

Thanks for looking today - see you soon xx

    Very pretty Jacqueline. The water colored background looks wonderful with the image. I also really like the striped border. Thank you for playing along with us at The Color Throwdown.

    Great design... I like the "above & beyond" sentiment for a thank you note, and it goes so well with the birds, too! Thanks for joining us for the Color Throwdown!

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. 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.
