Sketch Challenge at 52CCT

By
I can't believe how well the first challenge has gone at 52 {Christmas} Card Throwdown - I hit on the idea in late December, invited Mynnette to join me in the venture and we have 47 followers already!
So, this week we have a sketch for you to follow - take a look


Mynnette has charge of January and she has designed this fabulous sketch for us this week. Here are 2 cards that I have made  following this sketch



Card no. 1 uses SU Real Red, Lucky Limeade and Very Vanilla card stock. The robin is punched using the 2 Step Bird punch and Liquid Pearls were used to add the mistletoe berries.
Card no.2 uses blue card stock from my stash along with a piece of snowflake paper. Whisper White card stock forms the decorative piece running along the middle and I have added some silver foil snowflakes attached with brads.
I really hope you find the time to pop over and take a look and perhaps even join in - bye for now - Jacqueline xx

    WOW! These are stunning Jacqueline. I love the little robin, a great use of traditional Christmas colours.
    No blog, but off to make some Christmas cards now, using the sketch, of course!

    Thanks for visiting my blog :) I love both the cards you've made, but especially the robin one, as I love the ribbon you've put down the middle of the border. It's a small detail but very striking!

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.

Thank for stopping by today - see you soon - J xx
