Final Winner

 Hi Everybody,

Thank you so much for all the lovely comments this week on my decision to end the Friday Freebie and for your understanding on why I had to do this. It has been running for quite some time now and there have been some lovely gifts, many with extras in the pack ….. and some even made by my own fair hand.

I am not closing down the blog and I will still be doing blog posts as much as I can though they may not be everyday as in the past.
 I am thinking that maybe I will do blog posts from Monday to Friday with the weekends free

I will try also to add a video every week probably,  on a Wednesday, so I hope you will still continue to watch and leave me a comment.

 I want to do a mini series on making flowers using things like paper and card, felt, hessian and organza and of course foamiran. Would this be something you are interested in ?? If you are leave me a note in the comments.

Now onto the winner for the last Friday Freebie and the name this week as my final winner is someone who has posted on a very regular basis throughout the week and not just on Fridays, and left me some lovely comments

Ann Topp

So if you would email me your postal address please to 
christina@card-making-magic.com
I will get this posted off to you straight away. Be sure to let me know that you have it safely and there will be some extras in the pack too that I hope you will enjoy playing with 

Your Ideas

I want to do some videos on making flowers using items like felt, hessian, organza, foamiran as well as card and paper, and I would like to know if this would be of interest to you. Please let me know in the comments.

Also if you have any dies tucked away in your stash that you haven't used for a long time and maybe forgotten about then if I have the same, or similar dies, that could be another idea for a video.

Bye for now ...
