Being Prepared.

You know as a maker of cards you would think that I would be able to reach for the perfect card anytime to send out at the drop of a hat. No - that's not my style at all. Birthdays, Anniversaries and even Christmas cards are all done in a mad last minute panic!
So imagine my surprise when late last night I discovered that I had made a Father's Day card - yes a whole month or more before the event. Now I really shouldn't gloat about this 'cos I know if I'm not careful I shall put it away and a) lose it or b) forget I've even done it or even c) my daughter finds it and nicks it to give to her dad!!
Anyway here is the card
This card follows the sketch over on the Clean and Simple Stamping blog and uses some of my favourite colours - it just so happened that I hadn't cleared up after making my last card and they were already out on my work surface - Chocolate Chip and Crumb Cake - mmm sounds like a dessert!!!
OK I'm off now - I got up super early this morning to post this as I have to dash off to work soon - so thank you for stopping by - see you soon - 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

Starting the Year with a Christmas Card

 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
