Stacey Kowbel - Winner

 Hi Everybody,

I am so sorry I have not been around this week but as I said I have had major PC problems. My computer asked if I wanted to regain some space on my hard drive and I said “yes”  but it wiped everything else from the desktop. My editing programs … all my photos … all my videos and even my emails. 

I have tried to get some of them back with a little success but my editing suite is gone. I bought the full edition a few years ago and now I cannot get in touch with the company to see if they can help, so it looks like I may have to buy it all over again. 

It also tells me that some of my stuff is not compatible with Windows 10 and that my PC will not accept Windows 11 so I may have to buy a new computer and I really don’t want to have to do that. This has been such a pain and if Griff was here he would know what to do. 

Anyway on to the draw which has been done and the name today is 

Stacey Kowbel 

Would you please email me with your postal address to 

christina@card-making-magic.com

and I will get the pack in the post to you this week. I will also tuck into the magazine a little glue bottle pin so be sure to look for that and please let me know when you have them safely.

More tomorrow…… hopefully

Hi Everybody,

Todays offering is from Crafters Companion and it is a beautiful die and stamp set called Dragonfly Delight.

So if you would like this then all you need to do is leave me your FULL NAME  at the end of this post with your comment to be in with the chance of winning this gift.

You will need to come back and check if your name is shown as the winner as I have no way to contact you. If the gift is not claimed then it will be offered again at a later date to someone else.

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

Jenny Hurley - Winner

Hi Everybody,

 You will need to be patient with me for a while as something has happened to my computer and I seem to have lost all my work. All my videos have disappeared and I can't find the Movie Maker programme that I bought ages ago and so at the moment I am stuck and I do not know how to resolve the problem.  

I have tried to fix it but I get totally lost to say the least. I am very annoyed with my self and frustrated with the computer.

But I have done the draw for the fabulous Christmas pack offered on Friday which I am sure you will enjoy playing with. The name this week is

Jenny Hurley

Would you please send you postal address to
christina@card-making-magic.com
and I will get the pack in the post to you.

More tomorrow ...

Die Cut Sentiments

Hi Everybody,

Adding a sentiment to your cards is the perfect way to finish them completely.

 To say Happy Birthday. Thinking of You, Thank You, Sorry or for a Sympathy card they are instant additions.

Some of the dies have a shadow layer to them others are simply added to the card but Card Making Magic has lots for you to choose from no matter what the occasion.

This Thinking of You sentiment has been added to parchment and that doesn't detract from the beautiful background that it is added to.

Add the sentiment in Silver or Gold Mirror card to make it stand out or even black for a dramatic look.

There are many occasions, even this very simple  Love You, that are covered and you are sure to find one that suits your needs.

Just adding a Sorry to a card can make it a little more personal and is the perfect addition to a sympathy card.

There are other Word Builder Die Sets that have all the months in the year complete with anniversary occasions like Valentines day,  Wedding Anniversary occasions and even passing your Driving Test

You can build up any sentiment that you need to suit your recipient.

Blend in your sentiment to match with the monochrome cards.

This one has been added to an embossed background and the sentiment added to some plain blue card

It has been matched with the flowers and that will give you a uniform look that you are sure to love.

Add it to a box of the same colour and give with love.

More tomorrow ...
