Happy Birthday to CAS-ual Fridays

By
OK - I'm posting late at night again so this will be a quick post again. I decided at about 9.30 tonight that I just had to make a card and came up with this


These orange and red flowers remind me so much of the marigolds my Grandpa used to grow years ago - I used to love the smell of them!
But I digress - today CAS-ual Fridays are a year old - happy birthday!
To celebrate the challenge this week is a Clean and Simple birthday card - hope mine qualifies.
The stamp set is SU Field Flowers and they are stamped in Pumpkin Pie, cherry Cobbler and Sage Shadow ink.

So no Dr Who marathon this evening, my husband and I (eek I sound like the Queen!) have recently discovered The Big Bang Theory and find it hilarious so we've been watching that all night!
Please pop back tomorrow as it's time for the 52 {Christmas} Card Throwdown again and I will have some Christmas cards to share with you - see you soon - Jacqueline xx

    OH MY WORD I AM SO HAPPY YOU FOUND THE BIG BANG THEORY!!! It's one of my and my DH's faves, too!!! If you don't mind creepy and a bit gross in sci-fi, then you'll like Fringe, too. But, back to the card. ;) LOVE the simply use of the beautiful images to create marigolds! FABULOUS! :) Have a great weekend!

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
