Sketch Challenge

Here is the sketch for this week's challenge at Simply Stampin'


And here is my card


I started with a base of Crumb Cake and then I used some small pieces of Chocolate Chip and Very Vanilla for the matting and layering. The scalloped edge was created by stamping the circle from Just Believe twice and then cutting them in half. Inks used were Melon Mambo and Chocolate Chip - I also used a bit of Melon Mambo spotty ribbon. Stamps were mainly Just Believe with the butterfly from Flight of the Butterfly stamped, cut out and added to the top circle.
Can't stop - got to tidy the house as I am having a Stampin' Up Party on Saturday. I can't believe that the new catalogue is 2 weeks old and I haven't ordered anything yet!
Thanks for stopping by to take a look today, see you soon - Jacqueline xx.

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
