Colour Challenge at 52CCT

By
That's right we have a colour challenge this week for you at 52 {Christmas} Card Throwdown and it's just a simple combination of red and white - take a look

 
 
 
My card is just as simple - hope you like it
 
 
All I've used on my card is the main image from Come to Bethlehem and some Real Red ink. I doodled a frame around the image too. Don't for get to visit the other DT entries to get some inspiration - they have made some stunning cards this week.
 
I'm away at the moment visiting Mum and Dad as they live very close to Telford. Dad very kindly gave me a lift there yesterday as I attended the Stampin' Up Regional Training day there.
I had great fun and came away totally inspired and buzzing with new ideas.
I also had the great pleasure of meeting the lovely Vicky - my upline (link in the side bar) and we had great fun trying out some new products and mingling with all the other lovely Stampin' Up demos.
I also swapped loads and I will blog those when I get home.
Have a great rest of the weekend - Jacqueline xx

    Simple but still a fab card Jacqueline! I love the doodled border, it makes the image anchored and complete somehow.

    Sounds like you had a wonderful time at the SU! training day and came away inspired!

    It was brilliant to meet up with you at Telford Jacqueline and it was a very inspiring day - not sure my poor brain can cope with all the excitement! Love the simplicity of your Christmas card and the way the frame continues from that gorgeous image. Vicky x

    Drawing the border and connecting it with the image is all the embellishment this CAS card really needs. Super job!

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.

Thank for stopping by today - see you soon - J xx
