Made for Me ...

Hi Everybody,

When I got back home from my travels to Create and Craft there was a parcel waiting for me

Inside was this beautiful card and its' matching box that has been sent all the way from Michigan

I immediately emailed the maker to say a really big Thank You and I asked her permission to show it to you.

 And so this is the card with the lovely verse that Donna made just for me and it is standing in pride of place in my craft room

I showed you the Christmas cards that were made for me and I keep them all.

Thank for this one Donna you made my day

More tomorrow ...

Friday Freebie 045

Hi Everybody,

Todays card is cream and white and this makes the prettiest combination that would be suitable for many occasions

The verse is from  Sheena Douglass  and  there are several on the sheet with some wonderful  big Butterflies

I have added it to the  #4 die from  Spellbinders  Radiant Rectangles

And if you remember that  #1 is always the smallest die in any Spellbinders set you can work out which one it is.

The background is embossed with the A4 folder Ornate Butterflies from Crafters Companion

The flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts   and they are a wonderful addition to any project and the pearl flourish is from Want2Scrap

So would you like to win this card ??   All you need to do to be in with the chance is leave me a comment.  A name will be drawn tomorrow from those comments and the winner will be announced in tomorrows blog post.

More tomorrow ...

Victorian Collection - Royal Circle

Hi Everybody,

This card is made a little differently from my normal style and I did a video a few years ago on some other ways to create this  Cross Over Card

This one creates a pocket for you add a tag to and you can add a verse or sentiment to this as you wish.

I have  used dies from the  Victorian Collection  to create the topper and the circle die is the Royal Circle

The verse has been stamped and embossed in silver onto Labels Eighteen  and then added with foam tape

I have edged mine with some lovely braid and a dded some peach ribbon to the tag which I have added to the pocket

Today I will be back at home and into my normal swing of things.
I hope you enjoyed the Create and Craft shows and will join me again the next time I am there.

More tomorrow ...

Walk in the Park ...

Hi Everybody,

I hope you can join me today on  UK Create and Craft as I have several shows throughout the day.
8am, 10am, 12noon, 15.00, 16.00, 17.00, 19.00

But in all this busy schedule of doing the shows that have gone  "Live" to USA  ...  we managed to get some free time and went out to brave the cold.

On Monday we went to Ferry Meadows and wandered around the park .... but it was very cold

Never the less we went into the visitor centre and got some food to feed the ducks.

As soon as we walked near the feeding deck they swam towards us and as the food was thrown into the water there  was an absolute frenzy for the food.

The smaller gulls  created most of the fuss and they stole all the duck food

The were several swans too and  although they are such a graceful bird ... they pecked and bullied the ducks away.

We didn't brave it for very long as it was so very very cold ... but we did find somewhere for a very pleasant  lunch and whiled away a few hours in the pub.

This will be a lovely walk in the warmer months and I shall look forward to doing this again later in the year

See you later on Create and Craft and don't forget that the shows can be watched for up to seven days.

And can also be watched via your PC or even on Pinterest.

For my US readers you will find it on ...  createandcraft.com   Look in the Program Guide for Grand Calibur Touchdown Deal and also the Spellbinders Touchdown Deal

More tomorrow ...
