Ornate Flowers for Mojo Monday

By
Mojo Monday have two sketches this week - one round and one square. I have chosen to follow the square version - take a look


My stamp set of choice today is Stampin' Up Ornate Flowers (Friends Never Fade in the USA) and I chose some bright summery colours 'cos I've been feeling so cold, here it is


My colours are Tangerine Tango, Barely Banana and very Vanilla card stock, Lucky Limeade, Daffodil Delight and Peach Parfait ink. The ribbon is Very Vanilla gross grain.

This card nearly didn't make it - whilst crafting I accidentally cut the end of my little finger! After he had stopped laughing at me my husband checked me over and confirmed that I hadn't severed the bone and no, I wouldn't be needing to rush off to A&E for a transfusion and stitches - he then fetched me a plaster. No sympathy what so ever!!
See you soon - Jacqueline xx

    This card shows that you have a magic touch with this color scheme. I tried working with these colors last night, and it seemed like no matter what I did...they just didn't want to look pretty. You have put them together beautifully and in such a clean, fresh look.

    You can return the favour when he next has man flu! This is such a bright and cheerful card that has me smiling (and I'm about to go to work, so that's quite an impressive feat!)

    Lovely warm colouring here - a bit different from the weather outside but at least the sun is shining!!

    Gorgeous card, love the colors! Well, I'm glad you're okay ~ I had a similar accident during a Christmas class and luckily I had a nurse as one of the attendees who confirmed I wouldn't need stitches.

    Well I think you definitely deserved sympathy Jacqueline - those cuts are SO painful (I once had an altercation with a pair of secateurs!) I love those light bright colours you've used today! Vicky x

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
