Beautiful Card Designs Made Easy

Ann Topp - Winner

 Hi Everybody,

I am trying really hard to bring the numbers of subscribers up on both my blog and YouTube as for some reason the numbers are not rising.

 I have admitted in the past that it us very disheartening for all those publishers who work hard to add videos or posts and they do not get any response. And I am not the only one who mentions this fact.

On my Blog I have noticed, for quite some time now, that people are only leaving a comment when it is the Friday Freebie and at no other time and I feel that that is a little unfair on those that  do visit  on a regular basis. and leave me me a comment 

This is why I have said that I will give up blogging.

 But for now  I am going to try something different and that is that I will check back through the comments for the previous weeks and see what names are there and also for the Friday post,  and I am only going to add those names to the draw for the free gift.

This means that those who leave me a regular comment on my posts will see their names appearing more often as the winners on a Friday.

And this is another reason why you should leave your FULL NAME with your comment,  as some that show up are anonymous

My first one is named today and I am so grateful to these regular visitors and commenters. 

 Ann Topp

This week is for you Ann for all your support, and this is my way of saying a big thanks to you.

Please send me your postal address and I will get the pack in the post to you straight away.

Hugs.

  4. Hi Christina, I need to hold my hand up and admit that even though I read your posts every day, I don't always leave a comment. I will make sure that from now on I'll do so when I read the blog. I. for one, would really miss you if you gave up your blog. Luv ya Bejay Roles xx

  7. I have been a very, very long time follower of your blog, but a a fairly quiet one. I look at your creations for inspiration, but sadly, I just do not have the time to comment. I am so sorry others are not commenting either. For me, crafting is a hobby that I do when I can. I have a very demanding job and do not always feel like crafting, but I do like to read a blog post and see what the creator has created as this gives me inspiration. Most evenings, I like to quickly go thru my emails, then go watch a TV show because I do not have to think. I know writing a blog post, making your beautiful cards, taking pictures, etc is a lot of work and I truly appreciate all that you and other content creators do. Thank you, Kim in Texas

  8. Congrats to the winner. I completely agree with your statement about you having more comments on Friday as it does make it unfair to your regular visitors. I hope you continue with you blog as I love seeing your cards.

  9. O.m.g. Thankyou so much for pulling my name out for the Friday freebie. I am so chuffed but a little guilty as it's not all that long since I had a win ... But ... as they say ... you have to be in it to win it. So I will look forward to receiving it.
    It's such a shame you have to write about the comments being down again. I know I can't comment every day but I do try to get one in most days. And I have learned so many tips and tricks from you. I don't know what my work space would be like if I hadn't seen your tips for making cards from desktop leftovers. Thankyou once again Christina. Sending hugs 🤗 and best wishes to everyone. Please stay safe and well 🙏.
    Kind regards Ann Toppcards in Leeds

  10. Same goes for me. Sorry I haven’t commented more but I do like your style of card making and check every day. More often than not I try and make some of your designs. Janet Boyne

  11. I love your blogs Christina, and your little stories about your Ruby and Ella, and what you have been up to. We all love you very much. You are the first person I go to to watch the videos , and I would never have been a crafter if it weren’t for you. I only make cards for friends and families, you would think I was making them for a shop with all the stuff I have accumulated, and still keep buying more. Lots of love and hugs Anne Owens ❤️
