Sunflower Card

Hi Everybody,

I am adding a card today that I made when we did the Craftathon last week. This was an appeal to raise money to help the people in the Ukraine.

I am sure that by now you are aware that we raised over £7000 and this will go in some small way to help, and I know we all wish that there was more that we could do.

There where some lovely projects created on the day and many names that many of you will already know.

Later on today Lou Collins, who as one of the hosts on the day, will be on the Craft Store showing you the latest of my collections called Butterfly Trails.

I have sent samples to her to show you what the dies can help you to make and I have several videos lined up as well. This set is so versatile and I am really happy with it.

More tomorrow ...

 Hi Everybody,

It’s been really fine here today and the same is forecast for tomorrow too. Ruby and I will be out for a walk and the good news is that her biopsy results have come back and she is all clear. Her wound is healing nicely and I am so happy with all this.

The draw for the Fairy die set has been done and the winner this week is

Friday Freebie - Fairy Wishes

Hi Everybody,

Todays offer is from Crafters Companion and is a lovely large Fairy Die that will cut beautiful borders along the edge of your cards,

The Die Cutting Essentials magazine will give you lots of ideas on how to use the die as well as many tips and tricks for other techniques that you may like to try.

If this is something that you would like to have then all you need to do is leave me a comment at the end of the post with your FULL NAME.

I need your full mane to be able to identify correctly the winner. If two or more of you have the same first name then it becomes difficult and of course anonymous could be just about anyone. So please check that you have added your full name ... your real name and not your media one ... otherwise your comment will not be entered into the draw.

Be sure to come back and see if you are the winner over the weekend. 

I am happy to send the pack to your wherever you live and it doesn't matter if you have won before. 

Good luck everybody

More tomorrow ...
