Buttons and Bows at 52CCT

By
Hello - I'm back, my computer is feeling a lot better and I am now able to post again - yay! So after a week of doing nothing much I have two cards to show you today. It's 52CCT time again and this week is the Embellishment Challenge - Mynnette and I want to see what you can do with Buttons and Bows.
Here are my cards


I have had these mitten pegs in my craft stash for years and finally used them for this card - I added the little buttons - another horded item to finish them off and add a splash of bright colour. My ribbon is being held by the pegs.

DL style cards are not my favourites however I have a stack of them doing nothing and I though that one would be perfect for showcasing the fabulous snowflake ribbon. There are buttons on there - honest. They have decided to blend in with their surroundings - actually they are attached to the centres of the snowflakes on the ribbon!
Thanks for popping round to see me today - back soon to catch up with a workshop make. Oh - and before I forget, please pop over and visit Mynnette's blog 'cos she has some fab cards there too. Bye for now - 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
