Make My Monday is back!

By
We took a month off in August but we are back with a great new theme for this month - Vintage. Val has chosen and she kicks off September with - Vintage Fashion.
This was a tough one for me as I'm not really a vintage fan however I scoured my craftroom and finally found a CD-ROM which was free on a magazine and I got to work - here's how it turned out


This is from the Debbi Moore Shabby Chic CD and is taken from one of the design sheets. I don't have a colour printer at the moment so I printed it in black and white and coloured it with Promarkers. I inked and sponged with Brushed Corduroy DI's and added some pearls along with some seam binding ribbon.
You can visit us at MAKE MY MONDAY and take a look at all the other gorgeous vintage creations - pehaps even have a go yourself - 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
