Todays Winner ...

Hi Everybody,.

It's a bit wet and windy here today but supposed to be brightening up later.  I really hope so as we are taking a walk over to the sea front this evening as the Red Arrows are doing an anniversary air show at 6 pm.

The Red Arrows never fail to put on one of the most amazing air displays and they are so exciting to watch.  Griff is going to try and film some of their tricks and we are both hoping it will be fine and a little warmer by then.

The draw for the Friday Freebie card has been done and the name this week is you ...

Friday Freebie 119

Hi Everybody,

A Spellbinders Texture plate has been used to get the Letterpress effect on this card and it is in a very soft pale pink.

I have layered it onto silver and white. It is really pretty and could be used for any occasion. The inside is lined on this one

The plate is called Lace and Frills   and it is quite large. The sentiment is Sentiments Three set

The panel has been wrapped with lace and white ribbon with a double bow attached from Mei Flower

The flowers and lace are from Wild Orchid Crafts and so is the pearl trim. The pearl flourish behind the flowers is from Want2Scrap 

If this is a card that you would like to have then all you need to do is leave me a comment.

From those comments a name will be chosen and the winner announced in tomorrows blog post ... so please come back and check if it is you.

More tomorrow ...

Hugs xx
