Beautiful Card Designs Made Easy

Friday Freebie 001...

Friday Freebie 001
Hi Everybody,

Thank you so much for all your Birthday wishes yesterday ... made me feel quite special.

Well here we go with the first card in the
Friday Freebie 

 and the card is only available for one day.

It is a 5 x 7 card and uses the Crisscross pattern for the background which has been studded with pearls from Want2Scrap

The flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts and they have been sparkled with  Glitter Magic

The wide ribbon is from my "Stash" and it has been looped through the label die under the sentiment.

Now obviously I will need lots of comments as to offer the card to just one or two wouldn't be enough.

So  for this card I am setting the target at 50 comments.

I know some of you visit and don't leave me a comment but with 949 followers already then 50 should be do-able

At the end of today I will add all the names  into a hat and my "Film Crew" will draw one out.

The winners name will be announced in the morning and then you will need to contact me with your address.... and the card is yours.

Does that sound fair ??  I think so ... So join the followers and start leaving your comments ... the more the merrier

More tomorrow ...

Hugs xx
