International Ambassadors Blog Hop

Hi Everybody,

The International Ambassadors are hopping again and we hope you will join us on another informal trip to see what is going on this time in other parts of the world. It is a great way for you to get to know us and see our individual styles


Our roles as Ambassadors are to introduce you  to some of the beuatiful new designs that are coming onto the market

And to show you what you can do with the dies that you buy and help you to get the most from each and every one.

There are only five of us but we are based all over the world with Christine Emberson and I based here in the UK.

I hope you will vista Linda in Australia, Yvonne in The Netherlands and Ursula in Germany.

Leave them a comm-net to let them know that you popped by and maybe you will visit regularly once you get to know them

We had so much fun last time  with the Victorian Collection that we thought  we would like to inspire you again.

This time around we are featuring the Spellbinders Laced with Love Collection
and as it is Valentines Weekend we thought it a very appropriate  set of dies to use

So this time I have the honour of starting off the Blog Hop and here are the other stops along the way ...

Christina Griffiths ... you are here
Linda Lucas  ... your next stop
Yvonne Van De Grijp
Ursula Langhammer ... not participating this time
Christine Emberson


My choice for this blog hop is  Lonely Hearts  as I just love the versatility of this die

I have a couple of photos to show you of the cards I have made and there will be more as the year goes on.



Have fun 

More tomorrow ...

Hugs xx

    Hi Christina have followed you on Create and Craft and found your Blog through Christine Emberson. I love your style of cards and the two today are beautiful. Having looked at some of your other cards, are your sentiments made by using rubber stamps or are they computer generated, especially the John Lennon sentiment. Have a nice weekend. Gemma x

    Good morning Christina, I am having trouble finding the Laced with Love collection, to see all the dies, but I love the fact you have made cards with the negative as well as the positive. Both are very intricate. Would you consider making a video to show this ? X Ros

    Popped by to see you, as a result of being a regular to Christine's Hope and Chances. Pretty card - you can't fault Spellbinders for design. (I just wish they coated the dies to make them easier to remove the card).

    Wow, these cards are just luscious! I love seeing examples of what can be done with a particular die - my imagination sometimes fails me when I look at just the die.
