Last Challenge of the year at 52 {Christmas} Card Throwdown

By
When I started this blog at the end of last year I did it so I would not be stressed or rushed making Christmas cards now. I succeeded and I hope you did too. This is our last challenge this year but don't worry we will be back in January with more challenges and ideas for getting you organised for Christmas 2013.
I couldn't have done it with out my team though: Mynnette who joined me at the beginning and Ruth, Louise, Danielle and Patty who joined us half way through the year - thanks ladies I'm looking forward to working with you next year.
For this week's challenge we are going Crackers - take a look


Interpret this as you wish - images of crackers, hats, toys confetti etc - you can even do a joke card it's up to you.
I'm afraid I didn't do anything adventurous - my card just looks like a cracker - take a look


This is actually a Diamond Fold card embellished for Christmas - here's another view


Materials
Stamps: Christmas Blessings
Ink: Midnight Muse
Card Stock: Marina Mist, Midnight Muse, Naturals White
Accessories: Scallop Border Punch
Other: Square Dies
(All the Stampin' Up supplies listed above and more can be ordered through me - just check out the details above in the top tab)

Good luck with the challenge find us HERE - bye for now - Jacqueline xx

    You know I love this card! It looks so complicated and I think it's a fold we have made before. But it is a cracker, and I'd never noticed that before! You are a card-genius to have thought of it!

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
