Bright Blossoms and a Sketch Challenge

By
Not been feeling too well this weekend - I think it maybe the stress of the last couple of weeks taking it's toll however I did make a card this afternoon whilst taking things easy and watching one of my favourite Sunday films - The Goonies, I think they must put it on every Sunday on one of the channels!
I followed the fabulous sketch over on this week's Simply Stampin'. You really should take a look 'cos it's a good one this week take a look

Don't forget though if you do have a go you should use Stampin' Up products - just like I have on my card right here


I have used a square card base to mat my Twitterpated DSP on to along with some Basic Gray and Whisper White card stock. The stamp set is Bright Blossoms and also the sentiment from My Friend. My colours are Real Red, Island Indigo, Lucky Limeade and Pool Party.
Going to settle down now and watch Silent Witness or Witless Silence as my husband calls it!
See you soon - Jacqueline xx

    A really lovely take on the sketch. I must make time for this one this week as, I agree, it is a cracker. Hope you feel better soon.

    Sorry to hear you aren't feeling so hot! Perhaps it is part of the let down your body needs after the past couple of weeks with your Grandad and then coming home to your normal routine that was waiting for you. Hope you get caught up on your rest and feel great soon! I love the Goonies - reminds me that I should rent it soon, just because o) So... wonderful card too! I love those flowers along the edge and the colors that you used. Hugs!

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.
