New Challenge Blog

By
Whilst visiting some blogs today I came across a new challenge blog

Grab our badge!


This Tuesday saw the start and their very first challenge asking for cards with a very unfamiliar theme - take a look


When was the last time we saw the sun and I don't mean fleetingly through scudding black clouds but shining down from a sky of blue?! Hmmmm.
Anyway my card can be viewed from two different angles - 



So this could be a card to the sun 'cos I'm sure we all do miss it, but really it's a card for a friend which is why it's also for Mynnette's Spread the Love campaign

Blog Movements

My sun is die cut on my Cuttlebug and the sentiment is from Up, Up and Away - coloured with markers.
Thanks for stopping by today - hope you've had a good one - Jacqueline xx

    I love your layered sunshine Jacqueline and it looks sweet with the little flower and sentiment. Perhaps if we ALL make sunshine cards, it might actually make an appearance! Vicky x

    This is wonderful Jacqueline! I hate to say it, because I'm not a winter person at all, but we have been seeing a bit too much of the sun here in Montana lately - it's been HTT HOT HOT the past couple of days. Your card made me smile though - just love it!

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
