Scraps of Jade

By

 Don't you just hate it when you have loads of little scraps hanging around the place? Mine get thrown into a box never to see the light of day again! However today I decided to have a go at using some of them up. 

I fished out some of the Just Jade DSP scraps and die cut them with some of my Stitched Nested Labels. It was a bit fiddly fitting some of the scraps in but I managed to get enough to arrange on a C6 card base - take a look


I wanted to add some stamped images so I reached for my Butterfly Gala set - I don't use this one very often but I have a matching punch that cuts them out perfectly. 
The card still looked a bit empty so I added a hand drawn frame around it and a couple of sentiments - also from the Bytterfly Gala set. That and a few enamel dots finished the card off nicely.

This card will be entered into the challenge over at the 

Rainbow Card Challenge Blog

Thanks for stopping by today - hope to see you again soon - J 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. Thank for stopping by today - see you soon - J xx
