Winner ...

Hi Everybody,

First an apology for my absence this week but I have not been well. I am having a problem with my left hip and on Tuesday I went to get an X-Ray to see what the problem is.

 And then I was climbing on a chair to clean some glass shelves and I have twisted my right knee so at the moment I am in a bad place.

I know !! I know !! .... I shouldn't have been climbing on chairs, my daughter has told me off in no uncertain terms, but the shelves really needed cleaning and so up onto the chair I went.

 At present it is difficult getting up and down stairs but I will be fine again soon. 

Buy my second apology goes to Stacey Kowbel, who won last weeks Friday Freebie, because I have been unable to post it to you as yet. But it is here and I will get it to you as soon as I can. I am so sorry xx

On to this weeks winner and the name that has been drawn today is ...

Anne Owens

 would you email me your postal address please to

and I will get this in the post to you as soon as I can.

More tomorrow ...

Hot Foiling

HI Everybody,

So yesterday I got out my Minc Machine and played with some Hot Foils that I have in my stash and these are two of the card I came up with.

I made loads of backgrounds that can be used in the future from all different colours of foil and I enjoyed the playtime with them.

This first one was foiled on Kraft Card and I used an embossing folder to get this look

 This second one I created with transfer gel and a stencil on white card and both have used Gold foil.

I like the look of both of them. The flowers where some I stamped and die cut a long time ago they fell out of an envelope packet while I as tidying up

So I thought I would use them up to create my cards.

Both of the sentiments are from Spellbinders and again some I have had for quite some time, so I don't even know if they are still available.

These cards will go into my Charity shop donations and as soon as the shop re-opens I will take these, and 210 others, to them to sell.

More tomorrow ...
