I'm Back.

By
Hello folks - it's good to be back crafting again, Dad is out of hospital and doing well so all is good with the world.
Today I arrived home and within minutes BF Bev arrived ready for action. We decided on two challenges - Mojo Monday - sketch
and the colour combo from Simply Stampin'
Unfortunately I don't have any Daffodil Delight, I do however have some Summer Sun which although is retired I still have a lot left.
Here is my card

I borrowed Bev's stamp sets again and used the Bliss set and the new Strength and Hope. I layered the moth on 3D foam pads and added a bit of bling for some sparkle. The ribbon has been ruffled by pulling one of the middle strands - quite a good effect I think.
I'm going to be busy this week I think - I've a lot of challenges to catch up on! - see you soon - Jacqueline xx.

    I never would've thought to use Strength and Hope with these colours and it looks great! So pleased to hear your dad is out of hospital and doing well. Vx

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
