Bank Holiday "Give Away"

Hi Everybody,

I hope you are enjoying the Bank Holiday if you are in the UK and that the weather is being kind to you.

This is the latest "Give Away" and it is going out on a Monday so that it doesn't get mixed up with the Friday Freebie

It will run until Sunday and then the winner will be chosen.

So this pack contains a mixture of beautiful Wild Orchid Flowers  and don't forget that they are doing a lovely mix of flowers and embellishments in smaller Starter packs 

I am also including some pearl "Bling" from Want2Srap   and one of the new 3-D embossing folders from Spellbinders.

The Merry Christmas folder was exclusive to Create and Craft but is now available to buy and I have one to give away.

All in all a good prize to win and if you would like to be in with the chance then you will need to become a follower and leave me a comment.   If you don't do both then you will not win.

This is simply because I want these prizes to go to my faithful followers and those that I know will come back time and time again.

And would you believe that last months "Give Away" was not claimed ..... and that amazes me ... why would you add your name and then not check to see if you are the winner ????  Especially with such good quality products.

As always I am happy to send the prize wherever you live and you don't need a blog to enter.

Beautiful Sunflowers ...

Hi Everybody,

I promised to do a video tutorial on each of the Spellbinders Flower dies when I showed them on Create and Craft and I have kept to my word.

We filmed  another one today  using the Stargazer Lily and I will add that  another day.

So for this one I am using the  Sunflower and this was one of my favorites and it sold out very quickly.

This was a very simple card to make with just a couple of layered panels and some ribbon.

The  single flower is the main focal point with the addition of a pearl flourish from Want2Scrap

The little verse is one of a set from Lili of the Valley




On the show I did this in yellow and then re created it again in pink and that was very pretty so I hope you will try the flower in different colors if you added the die to your collection

Tomorrow I am  adding a  "Give Away"  that I think you will like.

But as the  last prize was  not claimed I  have to say that if you are not a  follower and you don't leave me a comment then you will not be eligible to win the prize.  You will have 48 hours to claim the prize and I will need your postal address.

If you add your name  then the  responsibility is your to  come back and check  if you are the  winner for either the  "Give Aways" or the  Friday Freebies.

More tomorrow ...

Hugs xx

Friday Freebie 022

Hi Everybody,

Well here is the first card that I have made with a coloured image on it that I am offering as a freebie and this is Joanie from Mos Digital Pencil

She is an un colored digital image that you need to buy and so once you have paid for it you can download it to your PC and use it  ... no waiting for the postman to deliver it to you.

It is colored with Spectrum Noir and the color list was added to the original post with this image.

The ribbon is from Mei Flower  and it is a really soft gingham in turquoise

If this is a card that you would like then all you need to do is leave me a comment at the bottom of the blog post.

Later today the name will be drawn by my "Film Crew" and I will announce the winner on tomorrows page

Somebody on Facebook seems to think that I am giving the image away for free and that is not the case so can I stress clearly that it is the  CARD that is being given for free with the image that I have colored and not the digital image.

If you want to color this image yourself then you will need to BUY Joanie from Mos' Digital Pencil

More tomorrow ...

Hugs xx

Believe ...

Hi Everybody,

This is a small card created using the A2 matting basics from Spellbinders.

I have added in the list of dies at then end of the post and it was a very quick card to make.

The ribbon is from my "Stash" and so I can't remember who made it ... I just know it was some that I got at a Craft show.

The flowers and the bows centre are both from Wild Orchid Crafts 

The little round sentiment is from
 Lili of the Valley and I have stamped it in Aged Mahogany and embossed it in clear powder

It is a sentiment that I have used many many times as it says so much

So altogether a quick and simple card that would suit many occasions.

More tomorrow ...

Hugs xx
