A Card For Mum

By
When I started this card it was going to be blue, it all changed though when I practised my stamping on a piece of scrap paper - it was too good to be scrapped so I carried on


After stamping the green didn't look quite right on the blue background so I got out the green instead. For a splash of colour I added some dark red in the form of Cherry Cobbler.
My greens are Certain Celery and Garden Green, my stamp set is My Friend. The same stamp has been used twice to give a shadow effect.
My ribbon is red gingham and was given to me by a crafty friend as it was destined for another project but that fell through so I squirrelled it away ready to bring out for a special occasion.

It's been a strange sort of day today, the sort of day that doesn't really go anywhere. Hopefully it's about to get better as my husband is cooking up a curry - yum!
See you soon - Jacqueline xx

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
