Card Winner ...

Hi Everybody,

Once again the response is amazing and thank you to everyone for ALL your lovely comments.  I have got my "Film Crew" to do his weekly draw and the winner of the Lilac card is ....

Supernan Sue

The card is yours Sue and I need you to  email me with your address so that  I can post the card to you straigh t away. 

At the risk of  repeating myself ...you have 48 hours to claim it or it will be redrawn and then go to someone else ... (I sound like a parrot)

To break the post up I thought I would add this pretty card.

It  is created using one of the  Rachelle Ann Miller designs that are new in at  Crafters Companion 

The link will show you some of the other cute characters in the range.

This one has been colored with  Spectrum Noir and  for those that like to know ...

Colors used ...
Skin                    FS2 FS3 TN2
Hair/Teddy          TN2 TN7 TN8
Balloons             TB4 CG1  PP4
Skirt                   DG2 CG2 
Shadows            IG2 TB2

The white satin ribbon from  Mei Flower   and the white  flowers from  Wild Orchid Crafts   have been colored with the refill inks ... TB4 for the blue ones and CT4 for the pale lemon ones and I mixed them with the Isopropyl

I have sparkled the with  Glitter Magic  and added in some pearly swirls from  Want2Scrap 

So another card will be on offer next Friday ... but I hope you will visit again before then.

More tomorrow ...

Hugs

Friday Freebie 003

Hi Everybody,

Thank you all for being so understanding  and supportive of yesterdays post.

Norah  responded warmly and claimed her card straight away and I hope you like it Norah ... it's on it's way

So here is this weeks Friday Freebie and it is a very pretty lilac card ... and this one is complete with hatpin.but it is not removable ... unless you wanted to really pull it out of the flowers.

It is a 5x7 with the fold at the top and the card used is the 270 gsm Linen effect from Papermill Direct    This is the card I use for most of my designs and it is a really good quality

So the other suppliers are ...
Flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts  with the sparkle from Glitter Magic

The silver edged ribbon is from Mei Flower  and the pearly flourish is from Want2Scrap

To win the card all you need to do is leave me a comment and at 9 pm this evening a  winner will be drawn from the list and the name published in the morning.

And can I ask you please to come back and check, if you added your name,  to see if you are the winner because if the card is not claimed within 48 hours then it will go to someone else.

More tomorrow...

Hugs xx

Your Opinion Please ...

Hi Everybody,

This sounds like a rant and I really don't mean it too ... but as you know I have started to do a "Friday Freebie"

And so far over the last two weeks I have offered two cards to be given away.

On both occasions I have had to chase up the winners to claim the card and last weeks winner Kiwi,   has still not come forward.

This is the card that was on offer last Friday and the winners name was announced on the Saturday morning.

I added a reminder on Facebook for  the winner to come forward and claim the prize and still had no response and so I am sorry Kiwi  ... but you missed the boat.

If you add your name and/or  comment to any of my "Give Aways" then surely it is up to you to come back and check if you have won.

I am making the cards with all the lovely attachments to them and I am covering the cost of the postage too  ... all you have to do is let me know where you are.  I think that is a fair request.... don't you ??

I have drawn another name from the hat so that this card can go before another  Friday Freebie card is shown.

The new owner of this card is you   ...   Norah McPhee   and you need to email  me with your land address so that I can get the card in the post to you.....   christina@card-making-magic.com

There will be another card on offer in the morning.  But as a final request can I ask please that if you add your name then check the winners list and  let me know where you are,  if you are the winner,  as soon as you can.

The responsibility is yours to check  and not mine to chase you.  I will wait for 48  hours and then it will be too late ...  the prizes on offer will go to someone else.

More tomorrow ...

Hugs xx
