Bonjour!

Bonjour indeed as this month Make My Monday is coming over all French. Fliss has chosen this lovely theme and her first challenge for us is PARIS - ooh la la!
Here is my card


A great big 'thanks' goes to Fliss as she sent me some stamped images in the post, I teamed these images up with some stamped leaves form the French Foliage set - very appropriate don't you think?
I also used some Basic Black card stock and Pumpkin Pie ink.
We have a fantastic month of french themed challenges for you and a lovely new Guest DT - please pop over and take a look - there is also some fabulous Parisian inspiration there too. See you soon - Jacqueline xx

    Oh moi! I think this is lovely and really like how you have used autumnal colours as Paris is usually associated with Spring ...gorgeous! Suz x

    Your cards are really gorgeous - I love the embellishments and colours you have used for this particular one. I have a competition on my blog to celebrate World Card-Making Day (06/10) which is being sponsored by new craft magazine Make & Craft. It would be lovely if you could enter one of your cards.

    A really beautiful card Jacqueline. The two colours together are superb and so beautifully stamped. The leaves behind 'Paris' is so creative.
    Thank you so much for being so supportive of my first card at MMM. You knew how nervous I was and I'm so grateful for the kindness I received. Card #2 is almost ready (if I could stop moving things around it may just get glued!!).

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
