Spring Magnolia

By

Today’s card is celebrating Spring and one of the flowers that blooms so magnificently at this time of year (in the UK).

I love magnolia trees and this year they are blooming all over the place - there’s even one outside my mum’s window at her nursing home.

So that being said I had to create a card with one on and this is the result - take a look 



This stunning image is from Stampin’ Up in the Online Exclusives page and it’s perfect for colouring in. I’ve used both marker pens and watercolour pencils for this and I am so pleased with the result.

I am entering this card into the following two challenges 

Freshly Made Sketches


CAS Colours and sketches




Well March sneaked away quite quickly didn’t it? And then Easter passed by too but what a lovely time it was especially as I got to spend time with my daughter, son in law and granddaughter.

Penny is 22 months now and loves drawing and colouring - good job Grandma (me) doesn’t mind the mess!!!

    If I tiptoe and crane my neck I can see the top of a magnolia from my window too! Haha, they are so beautiful it is worth it! You've captured their beauty perfectly. Thanks for playing at CC&S

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.

By

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.
