ATS - CAS

By
Good morning all - this is a scheduled post as I am running around like a headless chicken at the moment! I'm making a batch of 21st Birthday party invitations, student planners, trying to get my daughter to start thinking about packing for uni (she leaves in 3 weeks) and I've sooooo much committee work to do that crafting has to take a back seat at the moment. OK moan over  - did you know it's time for a new challenge at Addicted to Stamps? This week our theme is CAS - or Clean and Simple. We would like to see cards made very cleanly with few or no embellishments.
Here's my card


I have used stamp images from the Reason to Smile set and I have used Whisper White and Calypso Coral card stock, Calypso Coral and Lucky Limeade ink and Calypso Coral ribbon.
There are more fine cards in the dt line up over on the blog - I do hope you have time to pop over and say 'hi'.
Bye for now - Jacqueline xx

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
