Autumn Days

By
Today is a busy day as I am off to see Mum and Dad and of course Mum and me will be going out for some girly shopping and lunch so I have scheduled this post.
I made it Thursday afternoon while Bev was paying a visit and I have used the perfect stamp set for the season - Autumn Days - take a look


I love adding squares to my projects at the moment and this time I decided to add less squares and put some stamping behind them. I used autumnal shades from my palette of Stampin' Up inks and also added a little rust coloured ribbon. My aim was to make the leaves look like they were blowing about in the wind - it's been very windy here lately!
Hope everyone has a good weekend and the weather is not too chilly - bye for now - Jacqueline xx

    Oooh, love this squares idea! A perfect colour combo for Autumn too. You've done a fab job with the Autumn Days set. I struggle using this set but you've inspired me with this card. I'll be getting the stamps inky some time soon, thanks for the inspiration!

    This is a lovely card and I like the squares spaced out with the background stamping - great

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
