Friday Freebie Is Back ...

Hi Everybody,

Here I am back again with the Friday Freebies and I am really hoping that this will work and all my problems are over with ... at least for now

This offering is from Die Cutting Essentials and is a Christmas theme and will be useful for any last minute cards you may have to make

It is ab easy to layer dies set of Santa's head and face along with his hat features and some holly.

Inside the magazine you will find lots of ideas and inspiration on how to use this and there is the offer of some downloadable papers and sentiments to compliment your designs.

So just in case you have forgotten what to do .. Leave me a comment at the end of the post with  your FULL NAME and then come back and check over the weekend if your name is the winner.

 And that is all you need to do to be in with a chance of winning this awesome gift ... but please remember if you don't leave me your full name then you will not be entered into the draw.  And in case you are wondering why it has to be your full name ... well it just makes it easier if two, or even three, of you have the same first name. .

I am happy to send this to you wherever you are in the world and you don't ned to have a blog to enter. Nor does it matter if you have won before.

More tomorrow ...

Project Life Kit

Hi Everybody,

In the time that I have been unable to blog I cannot say I have been productive. In fact totally the opposite 

I seem to have lost my drive and been so fed up trying to sort the problems out I have just wanted to hide from the world.

And to top it all off I had my eyes tested, as my eyesight is getting so bad, and it turns out I have cataracts that need to be seen too.

But in that time my latest kit from Altenew arrived and I did attempt to make some cards with that bundle.. 

They all still need sentiments adding to them but at least I have made a start again.

The flowers in the kit are quite pretty and can be added in any way you would like for your design . 

On these cards I have coloured my flowers all in the same tone and just added the die cuts to the card front with foam pads,

I used the embossing folder for the backgrounds and lightly rubbed ink over the top to bring out the pattern in two of them.

On the last two I have also added in some Washi Tape and I will add the tape to the envelopes as well. to complete the look

For this last card I have used one of each colour of flower and added them to a plain embossed background and this and the first card are both Slimline cards used in different orientations.

I will most likely turn these into birthday cards with matching envelopes and then they will be ready to send.

On another note I want to thank you for all the lovely comments that have been sent to me, both here on the blog, by email. 

And also to those of you who noticed something was wrong with the blog and took the trouble to email me and let me know.

Thank you so very much

The Missing Videos.

 Hi Everybody,

I am adding in the videos from the Pretty Book Collection that I have had to remove to get things working again and hopefully there wont be  a problem this time around Fingers crossed tightly and thank you for your help in checking things out with the buttons. It is very much appreciated, but you know what I am scared to try adding stuff in again in case it all goes pear shaped again ...                         

I shall wait with bated breath to see if everything is ok again and if it is then I hope you will enjoy the videos again.

More tomorrow ...

Hugs xx
