Home at Last ...

Hi Everybody,

Well here I am back in my own home and well rested after a good nights sleep.   I wanted to thank you all for the lovely comments and emails that have been left everywhere for me and I really value all your support.

Most of the names read out on C&C I could recognise as regular readers of my Blog and it was comforting to know that you are there watching.   I made mistakes and got things wrong but I am only human and it is scary in front of a live camera.

But overall I don't think any of the shows went to badly and some I was very pleased with. But now that I am home again I can get back to cardmaking and blogging.

And the first business in hand is the winner of the Friday Freebie card and that is YOU ....

Janice Wallace

so if you could mail me please 

christina@card-making-magic.com

as soon as you can then I will get the card in the post to you straight away.

The winners of the Spellbinders will be in the next post so that things don't get mixed up.

More later ...

Friday Freebie 035

Hi Everybody,

I have  not forgotten to include the Friday Freebie card and this one is in a lovely shade of Baby Pink.

I have used Seville from the Spanish Collection by Sue Wilson and topped it with  San Francisco from the California Collection

It creates a very pretty raised background and the verse from Lili of the Valley   has been stamped and embossed for the top.

The flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts  as is the pearl and diamanté centre to the bow.

The satin ribbon is from Mei Flower   and the pearl flourish is from Want2Scrap

If you would like to win this card then all you have to do is leave me a comment at the bottom of the page and it would be nice if you became a follower too.

The winner will be announced in tomorrows Blog post and then you have 48 hours in which to claim it.

More tomorrow ...

Hugs xx

Lovely Weekend ...

Hi Everybody,

I have had a lovely Sunday off before the busy week ahead although Saturday was spent preparing samples for the coming shows

I really hope that you will like some of the things I will be showing you over the three days and I have kept them easy to follow for those that are new to cardmaking.

I haven't had time to make new cards so this is one that I have shown earlier this year.

The butterflies are the Martha Stewart Monarch punch and I have added gemstones from  Want2Scrap  along the body line.

The ribbon is soft organza from Mei Flower and it is tied in a double bow.

The centre of the know is covered with a beautiful pearl and diamanté dazzler from Wild Orchid Crafts   and just gives a lovely finish to the ribbon

The background to the card is created from Sue Wilsons background to the French Collection and I have covered it in Glitter.

The verse is from the Sheena Douglass collection with Crafters Companion 

More tomorrow ...
