JUMP FOR JOY

Hi Everyone

Happy Wednesday!  Middle of the week already!!

Just flying in and out quickly today with a card I have been working on over a few days .. .. ..not that it is intricate or anything out of the ordinary .. .. I just didn't have time to do it all in one sitting.

So here we go:




This used:

Image:  Penny Black "3702J" Jump for Joy!
Sentiment:  Lili of the Valley "Sentiment Tags"
Backing Papers:  First Edition Paper "Boho Chic"
Nestabilities:  Classic Circle
Woodware Punches:  Daisy
ProMarkers
My Trust Sewing Machine
Josy Rose:  Nail Heads
Brad, Eyelet and Metallic Cord from My Crafty Stash Box
and ... ... tah dah ....

Sketch Number Nine from my little sketch library


That means I have used all the ones I have put into my library now  .. .. so I have added another one today.  My little library is the first place I go now when I want to create something so I am really pleased I started it.

Thank you for all your lovely comments on my machine stitching. That comes from years of sewing fabric .. .. which I no longer seem to get time for .. .. but the funny thing is that the type of stitching I admire is where folk do two rows that all wobble, wave and cross over each other .. .. and I can't do that!!  I can only sew straight (ish)  LOL!!.  

Enjoy your day everyone.  I am hoping to get some big jobs crossed off my crafty list today!!

Catch you soon.

Love

    Hi Jules, another super card. Love the fun frog and the combination of papers. I think you are ace at sewing straight lines, especially perfect sewing round a circle! Even though I sew a lot I'm just not practiced at sewing on card and am guaranteed to make a wiggly mess of it. Hugs, Elizabeth xx

    Hi Jules. Love your card...yes all your straight stitching...brilliant, such wonderful attention to detail and I love your colour choice and pretty papers. As I said the detail is superb...the tiny heart in the flower, but I l also love the cleanness of the card.

    What an adorable card Jules! I love that frog, he is just the cutest hopping with his daisy. I love your choice of papers and embellishments. I have always been a fan of your machine stitching too, it's always so straight and how you stitch around a circle as neat as you do is beyond my comprehension! lol I too, am loving your sketches, they are so fabulous! Hugs, Brenda

    I love this card and the sketch and I will be spending some time tomorrow pinching this idea, sorry casing it, will be a perfect card for me to make for my Grandson's and I suppose their Mum and Dad but they have been in Australia for a month visiting my eldest Daughter and I have missed them terribly. So I will be Jumping for Joy at their return and guess what I have shot to look at my stickeroo's and I have the image, yippee.

    Thanks so much Jules.

    extra kisses for the idea!
