52 {Christmas} Card Throwdown - Last Sketch of the Year

By
Morning all - here's this week's sketch for the challenge at 52 {C}CT


And here is my card


Very CAS this week and I have rotated the sketch, I've also used my Christmas Blessings set - here's the full list of what I have used

Materials
Stamps: Christmas Blessings
Inks: Cherry Cobbler (marker), Gumball Green (marker), Summer Starfruit (marker)
Card Stock: Whisper White, Cherry Cobbler
(Don't forget you can order all these items and more through me - please see the details at the top of the page)

This post is rather late for the challenge but please do pop over and check out all the other gorgeous DT cards.
I'm feeling very sad today as I have had to miss this year's village Christmas Fair. I do it every year but this year I am just too tired. This week has been full of doctor visits, blood tests and more treatment for my poor husband and the worry of that combined with the news that my granddad is still very unwell has caused a few sleepless nights. I just haven't the energy to do a Christmas stall so I have decided to give it a miss this year.
Good luck to all those involved - I know that my Craft Club Ladies are all taking part so I hope it all goes really well.
Have a great weekend everyone, see you soon  - 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.
