So Sorry

By
I should have posted this a while ago but have been dealing with a personal 'thing' for the last 24hrs so I'm sorry if you have visited expecting to find my 52 {Christmas} Card Throwdown project for this week.
It's a special week as it's week 5 - we don't get many of those and so we have a special challenge reserved for these weeks - take a look

Take a look at what I have made and then I will explain how I made it.

 


I've decorated a wooden peg with some scraps of Christmassy paper and then attached some pine fronds which I punched from green card stock. I stamped an image from the Pines and poinsettias set and added some glitter. Finally I punched a bird using the 2 Step Bird Punch and made him into a robin. And that's it - just the thing for clipping together all those Christmas lists and receipts don't you think?
Please pop over to the blog - there are some wonderful creations there this week and not one card amongst them! 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 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
