Happy New Year.

By
Happy New Year to everyone - hope it's a good one. Hope you all had a lovely Christmas. Mine was very strange. Because of the snow and travel problems me and my husband had to spend Christmas apart so that was very sad. But that is in the past - it's a new year and time for some crafting!
Today's effort was inspired by the Clean and Simple challenge on the Splitcoast Stampers site.

It uses the 'Kissing' technique - you take a large stamp (in this case the scribble tree from Wondrous Gift), ink it up (Cherry Cobbler) and place it face up on your work top. Then you take a smaller block stamp  (Flight of the Butterfly) and place that on top of the large stamp and then you stamp it on to your paper. The image from the large stamp takes on the shape of the block stamp.
I also used Simply Said to stamp around the card edge and on to the the card in the middle and the sentiment is from Butterfly Prints.
I am off now to blog hop around all my favourite blogs - if you leave me a comment and tell me where you are I could visit you too!
Bye for now - Jacqueline xx.

    Hi Jacqueline. Sounds like it's been a difficult christmas, I hope you have a better, happy, new year. Love this card. We'll be doing the kissing technique at my class a week on Saturday and this is a great example. Love it.

    I love the way you've used the little flower to make a decorative edge to your card. How upsetting to have to spend Christmas without your husband. You may need to book a special holiday together to make up for it! Happy new year Jacqueline!

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. 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
