Winner

 Hi Everybody,

I am too hot !! I used to be a fan of wall to wall sunshine but not anymore. I am permanently melting and Ruby doesn't like it either. The only one enjoying this is Ella, the kitten, who finds the sunniest spot in the garden to sit in and just lies soaking it all up. I just want it to cool down ... a lot !!

But the draw has been done and thank you so much for adding your full names it is much appreciated.

So the name this week is 

Peggy Spencer

Would you email me your postal address please to 
christina@card-making-magic.com
and I will get it sent off to you straight away.

Please be sure to let me know that you have it safely and I really hope you will enjoy playing with this lovely kit.

More tomorrow ...

Gold Embossing Powder

 Hi Everybody,

Todays card is using gold embossing powder  on pink card with a stamp set from the Altenew Monthly kits that I subscribe to.

It is a black base card and I have  added in another black layer that has been splattered with gold paint. I have die cut the image out with the matching dies and then added it to the card with foam tape.

It had been dotted with gold sequins and it is a DL size card that will fit into a standard sized envelope. So no extra expense there. 

And now on a completely different subject I am having the cataract removed from my left eye this morning and at least this time I know what to expect from the procedure.

I will be glad once it is all over with though and as I said before, if you are waiting to have this done then it really is worth it. It does not hurt but  I didn't think it was a pleasant experience.

I will try to get done what I can for the rest of the week but please think about joining Lou Collins and me on Facebook Live this coming Friday 12th August, to see the new collection that is being launched, and to try your hand at winning some prizes.

Talking of which .... don't forget to check back and see if your are the winner of last weeks give away as it has not yet been claimed, and it wont be there forever.

More tomorrow ...
