A little update

By

 Good morning, it's been a long time since my last post!

My mum has Alzheimer's and it's been a bit of a struggle. So bad that in early July I suffered a breakdown.

Thankfully I contacted the right people for help and I have been slowly getting myself better. I have some lovely carers who look after mum five nights a week and I am now having some day care care - today is the first Tuesday morning and I have four lovely hours to myself.

While I was recovering however a small heart problem was picked up and I have been diagnosed with Atrial Fibrillation so time to myself is doubly important now.


Not much crafting has been done except a little beading and knitting - things I can do next to mum. She's not very happy with me and makes me feel extremely guilty for leaving her with a carer but I am determined that I am going to do some papercrafting again!

I do hope you are still out there as I am hoping to start sharing my creations again. I also have a Facebook page so you can join me there too.

Please leave me a comment to let me know you are still there and I will hopefully see you soon - J xx

    Oh Jacqueline, I know that it's the hardest thing not to feel guilty, but don't. You have to take care of yourself so that you can be there for your mum. I look forward to seeing your crafting creations again, but don't rush. Take care, sending love, Deborah xx

Starting the Year with a Christmas Card

 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

Beauty of the Deep

I do love my nature stamps and I also love stamps of the sea whether it be above or below the waves. I have taken possession of a new set from the catalogue called Beauty of the Deep. I have made a card with this set as it lends it's self perfectly to the the new Boho Blue In Colour. It also has a gorgeous little fish which I couldn't wait to use - take a look Although I've mostly used blue ink I had added white highlights with a gel pen and then to finish it off a little sparkly blue gem. Thanks for stopping by today - if you wish to place an order or request a catalogue please drop me a message at  jacquelinenm68@gmail.com

In The Frame.

Yesterday was birthday and my lovely husband bought me some crafting stash. Unfortunately he duplicated an ink pad (Distress Ink - Tea Dye) but the craft shop where he bought it were very kind and let me exchange it for something else. That something was a fab little Crafty Individuals stamp. So I raced home, turned my craft room upside down looking for my EZ Mount, and made this card for this week's Less is More  challenge. This week the girls wanted a one layer card with the theme 'In the Frame' Here is my card I made this by first masking off an area in the center of the card - directly on to a 5" x 5" white card blank. Then using my brayer I added some yellow, blue and green ink to the card. The masks were removed and the image was stamped over the brayered square. Thanks ladies for another fantastic challenge - Jacqueline xx.
