Sketch Saturday - Not a Card.

By
Hi folks - hope everyone had a good Bank Holiday. It was my husband's birthday today so we went out for lunch - very nice. We were going to work in the garden too but the rain put a stop to that. So I made this instead for this week's Sketch Saturday challenge : (see above sketch)



I decided not to do a card this time but a book instead. The image is from Pollycraft and is this week's Friday Freebie. The background papers are some basic yellow card stock, Anna Griffen pink polka dot and one of my own designs - pink check. The flowers are what I won a couple of weeks ago from The Craft Garden - aren't they fab? All the ribbons around the binding are bits from from my very untidy ribbon box and I used my Bind it All to bind the book and punch the holes. I also used a bit of Stampin' Up ink to ink the edges of the papers too.
Well that's all for now - see you soon with another challenge - Jacqueline xx.

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

 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
