WOYWW 86

Morning Bloggers,
I have got the terrible lurgy thats going around at the moment nose dripping you know the signs, even had a Flu jab and still got the nasty. Well today I am showing four cards that I made when I visited the Craftbarn on Saturday, where I had a class with the lovely Carol Cockbain. We made some lovely Valentine cards and a couple of Birthday cards. The class was very interesting as we used some of the new cuttlebug folders, mixture of metal leafing and of course the usual Martha Stewart punches - what did we do before these delightful punches stormed our shores !! Jenny Mayes of Hobby Art was there demoing and she gave me the lovely poppy that you can see on my table. Of course I bought a few stamps Jenny Mayes Poppy one and Paperartsy Hot Picks HPXT04EZ as it had a lots of lovely wording on it, a few Tando cut boards one said Mum and the other is a sweetheart shape. My Mums Birthday is next month so I should be well ahead instead of rushing!!!

Well Bloggers hope you have a fantastic day and do go and see the Queen of Desks herself the delightful JULIE who started this craze.
Lots of love and Hugs JO.xxxx

Today I am quite tidy as I have just finished my card for my daughter Jo-Anne's Birthday which is on the 16th so glad its finished and can give it to her later on today as I will not be seeing her on Sunday as she is going out with her friends to celebrate. On my desk you will be able to see a few more swirls and one of my quickutz tins which holds my Roxy Alphabet and my Martha stewart punch. Rubber mat which I use to put my heat gun on which is not on the couch and copics as per usual.

Jo-Annes card is done with Nesties and the stamp I think is Rubber Romance sorry cannot remember, have had it for ages. The card is one of the large ones from Craftwork Cards. The big round stamp is from LOTV.Well ladies/gents do pop over to Julia the Queen of all craft tables for a nosey around about 150 desks/Dining Tables and even floors. Lots of love JO.xxx

Morning Bloggers, ooh it's still so cold. I really do not like this weather. My favourite time is the spring with all the flowers popping up and new life. I like Christmas but not the cold. Well I am still making Christmas cards. I have been so busy at work. I work for an Estate Agent and of course it's the time of the year when everyone seems to have a heating problem and the clients are all phoning up with them and of course it's mainly me who has to sort them all out - headache's.Well that's off my chest now. Today on my desk is a couple of Whiff of Joy stamps, I really love WOJ they are one of my favourite stamps. My desk is quite busy - messy to some of you. I have also been using stencils with gold leaf and you can see some stamping up cards. I have to do about another 50 cards don't know where the time has gone and next week is my Sons' Birthday and have to get him something he said he wants a coat. Well
if you want to see other desks, go to Julia who started this and you will see lovely creations from over 150 people now.
Take care and keep warm. Lots of love and Hugs. JO.xxxx

Christening Card

Good morning everyone, not a very nice day. Did you remember to put the clocks back. Well I made a couple of cards on Friday night and finished them off last night because the Christening one had to go this morning.Happy Christening day Daniele.

Very Simple. Bought the cross off Ebay ages ago just put 4 Swarovski crystals on it. Used a scroll Martha Stewart around the page. Wild orchid flowers and ribbon from my stash. the Christening Word is an Old PSX stamp, I've a few of these  because they were so elegant. the Scrolls on their stamps were beautiful. Shame they went out of business. The Card was a Craftwork card blue smooth which again I have had for ages. I do like Craftwork cards.  My other card is one for the Aunty of the boy who is getting Christened today. Her Birthday is a day before mine.

Sorry it's a little light, but the light wasn't good for taking photo's. Used one again Martha stewart punches and a lovely LOTV present fairy. Coloured her in greeny copics, Ellie loves green. Used a Doily once again from Ally Pally, wish I could remember the Co. I bought them from. Coloured it with Distress inks. Used the blossom Nestie and another Craftwork Card basic cardstock. Used Green ribbon from stash.  Well I am off now to go pick my Darling Mama up, whoopee she's going to stay with me for a week. Hugs and Love to all have a lovely Sunday. Jo.xxxx
