Got The Blues.

By
Hi there folks - too hot to be outside again so I am in my craftroom crafting. Had my Thursday night club last night and we made Flip Albums. I will finish mine later and post it on my other blog in the next couple of days if you would like to see it.
Meanwhile I have made a card for the Daring Cardmakers challenge blog.

The theme is Silhouettes so what better stamp set to use than Stampin' Up's 'Pocket Silhouettes'. Also used S'U card stock and inks - Night of Navy, Brocade Blue and Bashful Blue. I used  paper punches for the butterflies and decorative borders.
But if that isn't blue enough for you - take a look at the card I made for my brother Peter - he's 40 today.

This card also uses my S'U stuff and one of my favourite techniques - brayering.
So there you have it - two blue cards, and if you do pop over to see the Flip Album when it's finished - that's blue too! I promise to use some brighter colours for my next card - really!!!
Bye for now - Jacqueline xx.

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

 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.

Thank for stopping by today - see you soon - J xx
