As promised here is the name of the winner of last weeks Friday Freebie ... sorry for the delay but I have been gallivanting around the country. I have left it until today as I didn't want to get the monthly prize mixed up with the free card.
So the new owner of the card is Lynda Brock you need to email me ... christina@card-making-magic.com ...
with your postal address and I will get the card in the post to you immediately.
So while wandering in and out of the shops in Chester I just had to see what Primark had to offer in the "Bling" lineThis is what I came up with and it is an amazing collection that cost me very little for the items I got.
They are all elasticated bracelets with lovely enameled patterns on the tops and they will look really good in the centre of a flower or bow.
As I use them on a project I will tell you it is a Primark bracelet and show you a close up of the item used.
But they are really pretty and they are metal and not plastic so they won't look cheap and nasty on my work.
And on my return home there are three new Spellbinders dies waiting on my door mat just calling for me to play
So over the next few days I will add some cards and I will list the dies so that you can see what they look like.
More tomorrow ...

ReplyDeleteWow wow wow. Thanks for sharing this tip. Would never have thought of using primark bracelets on cards.
Thanks Christina we don't have a primark in Australia but i'm sure we have something similar so I will be on the lookout for bracelets what a clever idea for bling.

Congratulations Lynda. Christina I am glad that I am not the only one who buys "junk jewellery", I have a shop where I buy their broken items very cheap and break it down further to use on my cards, although I do wish we had a Primark here in Australia my daughter was obsessed with them on our last trip back "home", thanks to my cousin who introduced us to the world of Primark.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Lynda. Christina I wish we had Primark here in Australia as my daughter is obsessed with their clothes, thanks to my cousin introducing her to it on our last trip "home". I'm glad I'm not the only one who uses jewellery on cards, I have a shop where I buy "broken" jewellery very cheap and break it down even further to use. a lot of it is diamante things so I get plenty of use out of it.
ReplyDeleteLovely to see the pictures of Chester. It's over 25 years since I was last there. I love the old Roman towns.My favourite is York.
ReplyDeleteNothing like that here in Australia.
Can hardly wait to see the new spellbinders and what your magic will do with them. With the new bling and new die I know we are in for a treat. Thanks so much for sharing.
ReplyDeleteYou really do have some fantastic ideas, just wait for the next shopping trip with my daughter!
ReplyDeleteMany congratulations Linda very well done, something to treasure.
Hugs
