So Grateful ...

Hi Everybody,

Thank you so much for all your kind comments and especially for all the emails sent into the Create and Craft show that went out "live"  yesterday on the 29th.

 I was amazed at the amount that were in that huge cup and it was lovely to see them all.

You are all wonderful and I thank you from the bottom of my heart for all the support you gave me.  I have had literally hundreds of emails since I got back home and lots of you want to know when I will be back on Create and Craft.

Well you won't have long to wait as I am back there next week for the 4 Day Deal which is using the new flower dies from Spellbinders.  I thought I had one show on Monday at 8 am .... how stupid  could I be ... and the clue is in the title ....It's a  Four Day Deal !!

I have several shows on Monday to start the week off  and the deal  will run till Friday ....  unless there is a sell out and then I can go home early.  I have never been so busy so please bear with me if blog posts are late.

But once things settle down a little I will be able to plan things out a little better.  The card that was the given away on the show has been claimed and that will not affect the weekly Friday Freebie that is on the blog.

And in all the excitement maybe the winner of the July Give Away has been overlooked and some I am extending the time limit and saying again that it was won by YOU.......

                        Julie Williams 

and I need your postal address to get the parcel on it's way to you as soon as you can please.

More tomorrow ...

Hugs xx

Today is the Day ...

Hi Everybody,

Well today is my big day on Create and Craft TV  and I do hope you can be there to share it with me.

I am going to be so nervous to start but I am hoping that I will settle down as the show goes on

This card features the Peace die and this is another that can be used in many different ways.

Use it as shown here but you can also use the flourishes alone to adorn another shape ... maybe with a sentiment

The outer frame to the card is what would be the waste but I have utilised it here to add to the card

It is very quick and easy to do and maybe I will get the chance to show you

Here is another with beautiful baubles called Heirloom Reflections and I must admit to really liking this die

But things are selling so quickly that by the time I get ready they will say ... "Everything is sold out so you can go home now .... "  and that will be me done .... cut off in my prime so to speak !!

So off now to get ready ... see you at Noon

More tomorrow ...

Picture Perfect ....

Hi Everybody,

These are some more cards that are featured on the Spellbinders Pick of the Week show over on Create and Craft.

This one is called Picture Perfect and there are lots of ways that it can be used.

On this card I have cut the main part of the die in white and layered it over the starry sky.

Glitter has been added to highlight the snow area and the windows have small pieces of orange card glued behind for the light.

The pretty Gingham ribbon is from Mei Flower

And this is another way to use the die for a different  look and the bottom part of the picture is glittered with Chameleon Glitter from Glitter Magic

The added pearls are from Want2Scrap for an extra effect.

I hope you will join me on the 29th July at 12 Noon when I will be doing my very first "Live" TV demonstration for Spellbinders 

The Link is ... Create and Craft TV  and at the top of the page you will TV schedule and Watch Us Live 

Clicking the "Watch Us ..."  link will take you to the programme that is showing at the time but look for Spellbinders Pick of the Week on Tuesday and that is where I will be.

The programmes are repeated so if you can't be there at the time then you can catch it later by watching on-line

More tomorrow ...

Spellbinders Team ...

Hi Everybody,

I am so happy  to tell you that I have been invited to join  the Spellbinders Team and that many of my cards have been featured on the Pick of the Week

That in itself is a great honour but I am also excited to tell you that I will be appearing "Live"  on  Create and Craft TV  on Tuesday the 29th July at 12 Noon.

So I am asking for your support please to come and watch the show and if you can then email in  and tell us what you think

These cards feature the new Heirloom Reflections used in two different ways.

One is as a complete ornament to decorate the front of your card.

I have done these in a soft antique gold with a glitter card on top that matches.

The beautiful flourish is from Want2Scrap and adds elegance to the card.

The other is  using just the  filigree portion to create a  background and both  of   these cards are on the show.

With another sentiment on it this card could be for any occasion so don't put the dies away once Christmas is over with ... this you can use all year round

I hope you will join me on the 29th and see what we come up with on the show

More tomorrow ...

Hugs xx
