Sour Grapes of the Blackberry kind!

By
Gosh - I am posting late today. My friend Bev came round to play this morning and refused to leave 'till she had finished her card. It was rather stunning but she wouldn't let me photograph it to put on my blog!
Today's card is made using my Simply Said set and is CASEd from one of the past Ideas Book and Catalogue

It's not a complete copy 'cos I changed the colours but it manages to use nearly every stamp in that set! The colours I used were Cherry Cobbler, Mellow Moss and Always Artichoke. I also used the sentiment from Vintage Vogue.
I have a 'man' card to share with you tomorrow - why are they so difficult to cater for? It's my Anniversary card to my husband - we will have been married for 20 years! We did have a little disagreement this morning though - his firm are providing him with a brand new Blackberry phone. I am sooooo jealous - I have been lusting after one of those for ages! I'm off now to cry in a corner - see you soon - Jacqueline xx.

    Ooooh another gorgeous creation! These colours make the set look rather sophisticated. About the Blackberry: tell him if you don't get one you'll scweam and scweam until you're thick!

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
