Card & Gift Winner

Hello Everybody,

The card that is with this weeks gift was one I made some time ago and is in the style that I really enjoy making and so I hope that the winner this week will like the colours that I chose.  There are some lovely images on the A4 stamp sheet that is on offer and I am sure that you will have fun playing with them. 

All the Friday Freebies to the end of this year were all done well in advance and then scheduled to go out each week. And that has been a big help to myself knowing they will go out without any problem

There have been very few blog posts this week but that doesn't mean I have been doing nothing.

Tomorrow there is a short video about my newest collection, and there is more to come by the end of the year.

Craft Stash have been working really hard on my behalf to get these new dies and stamps out to you, but now it is time for me to do my part. There is one thing for sure and that is time marches on and waits for no one. I know Griff would have loved this new collection and he would be proud of whatever I achieve.

Those who met him will have been shown the films he has of me and my cards that he stored on his phone ... and he was never shy of showing them to anybody and everybody that would look.

So the winner of the card and gift today is ...

June Horrocks

please email me with your postal address to 

christina@card-making-magic.com

and they will be in the post to you straight away.

Thank you to everybody for your understanding and your kinds words they have been a great comfort  and support to me over the past few dreadful weeks. And thanks also for staying with me in the past and into the future

More tomorrow ...

Friday Freebie - Serene Beauty

Hi Everybody,

I am so sorry for the lack of blog posts this week  but if you read my blog regularly I am sure you will understand why.

Now this card is completely in my comfort zone with all the beautiful embellishments I have added to it.

I have used the oval die from my own brand Card Making Magic and it is available from Craft Stash 

The A4 stamp set was with Creative Stamping  in June this year and it has some lovely images and sentiments on it.

The video to show you some of my ideas is Serene Beauty   and includes this floral card to just a simple background

So if you would like to have this stamp set then please leave me a comment at the end of the post with your FULL NAME.

I will let you know in tomorrows blog post who has won both  the stamps and the card so be sure to come back and check.

All the winners are listed each week in the Winners Page so that you can check again if you wanted to know

More tomorrow ...

Card & Gift winner

Hi Everybody,

It's Saturday morning again and it's raining. I have tried to stay positive this week and get done all the things I needed to do. 

My little Ruby is a treasure and she is with me wherever I go ... and I mean everywhere. It's as if she is scared I will disappear too.

I think we have been good for each other over the last few difficult weeks and I would not swap her for the world. She is an angel in disguise.

The draw for the card and gift from yesterday has been done and the name of the winner this week is ....

Shelley Yalden

Please can you email me your postal address to

christina@card-making-magic.com

and they will be on their way to you straight away.

And the prize to Jean Marmo is now on it's way also ... and once again my apologies for the delay.

Could both of you please let me know that you have them safely 

More tomorrow ...

Friday Freebie - Scenic Swallow

Hi Everybody,

Well here we are in December already and I wish some one would tell me where the rest of this year has gone.

It has been a roller coaster of a year for me and the next one looks set to be even better.

Now the beautiful die set that is on offer today can be used in so many ways to grace your designs.

I used it in a somewhat different way for my card and in the video I show you how I got this result

Scenic Swallow

I combined this with another stamp set  and I was really pleased with it once it was completed.

You too can have fun with this die and so if you would like to have this then leave me a comment at the end of the post to be in with the chance

I need your FULL NAME to choose the winner and the name will be announced in tomorrows blog post so be sure to come back and see if it is you.

More tomorrow ...

Happy Birthday Vickie

Hello Everybody,

Today I wanted you all to share with me my youngest daughters birthday.

Both of my girls and both of Griff's daughters have been such a comfort to me over the past few weeks but today it is Vickie's day.

So you will get to see the card before she does as Ruby and I are not going round to her house until later today for cake and coffee 

Vickie is Dougal's mum and we all know that Dougal is Ruby's very best friend.

We have still  managed to take them both out on dry days for a good walk but as you can imagine Ruby is a little confused and follows me everywhere I go

So here's to a good birthday to Vickie XXX

More tomorrow ...

Hugs xx
