Only a Week Late!!!

By
Good morning all from a very sunny and warm Bridgnorth!
So today I have a card to share with you that is my DT card for the 


which as the title suggests is a week late!


My card was extremely quick to make and uses one of the new hostess sets Soft Spring. As my Wisteria is enjoying a second flush of flowers this card is rather apt don't you think?


So a quick stamp in Basic Gray for the flowers and sentiment (Colourful Seasons) and a colour in with Highland Heather Blends (dark and light). 

There's still loads of time to take part in the challenge as it lasts for a month so get on over and take a look.

So the reason I'm late with this post is because I have have embarked on a new project. Unfortunately I'm not as able to multi task as i used to - fibro fog has put paid to that - but I'm finding it very exciting.

I've been a member of some card swap groups on Facebook for some time but recently I decided to start one of mt own

The Crafty Card Swap

Each month I set a few challenges (that's the best bit) and those who want to take part are allocated a partner and they swap cards.
|It's a great way of expanding your crafting expertise and fun when you receive your card in the post from your partner.

Well this post has gone on long enough - I have a day of gardening in front of me so I'd better get gone.
See you soon - J xx

    Hi Jacqueline. I've had a lovely browse of your blog over a cup of tea this afternoon and you've been making some gorgeous things. My favourite is this card - absolutely stunning! I've been using this set today as well, coincidentally, and I adore it. Thanks for letting me know that the drooping flower is wisteria. I didn't recognise it at all (it most certainly isn't wisteria in my card LOL) and thought it was laburnum! But I suppose it can be what we want it to be :) Have fun with your new project xxx

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.
