Showing off some late cards!

By
I've been at mum and dad's two weeks now and unfortunately still no crafting. Good news though - daughter is visiting tomorrow hopefully bearing boxes full of craft stash!
Meanwhile I've been getting used to my new surroundings and finding places to stash the stuff that I did bring. I have the little room I'm sleeping in (and sharing with the cat) and a corner in the garage.
So while I haven't been crafting I do have some pics of cards on my pc that I haven't blogged and these are a couple of Valentine cards - they can very easily be converted to everyday greetings cards as I've used stamps not specific to Valentine's day.


This one uses the very versatile Lotus Blossom (Sale-a-bration) and a variety of pink markers ranging from very light to very dark. A silver ribbon bow completes the ensemble.


This one uses Pleasant Poppies again coloured with markers. This is another design that could be changed - just use a Happy Birthday sentiment or similar.A few randomly placed gems complete the card. I enjoyed making this card - clean and simple and one layer!

Thanks for stopping by to take a look, hopefully when I unpack my craft stash and make some cards it wont be too long before I post again!

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