Baby Blossoms Owl.

By
It was so gloomy, wet and grey this morning that I decided to make a bright and cheerful card. My Baby Blossoms stamp set has been out on my work desk for a while now so I thought I'd give it one more airing before I put it away.
As always Bev was round for our usual coffee, craft and chat and Louise popped round too - we had great fun but my card seemed to take on a life of it's own and ended up totally different to what I expected it to be! (Too much chat with not enough concentration me thinks!!). Any way take a look


I used a variety of colours from the In Colours and Brights sets and also my gorgeous 2 Step Owl Punch. The label that the owl is sitting on has been raised up on 3D foams as have the cut out roses.
So - it is still gloomy, wet and grey here and I have to go out to a committee meeting tonight, really not looking forward to that but as I am the secretary I had better go don't you think?
I shall be back tomorrow with another Less is More card for their 1000 submissions attempt - hope you can make it - Jacqueline xx

    I love it when a card takes on a life of its own while you chat and have fun. It's turned out beautifully although the owl looks a bit surprised that its nest has turned out to be a bed of roses! It's always horrible going out in the dark especially when it's raining but I hope you enjoyed the meeting when you got there. 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
