Mags Wilkie - Winner

Hi Everybody,

Today I am meeting up with Pauline Hickey and we are going to the Craft Show In leigh.
We went together a while ago and both of us bought goodies that we have since used on our designs.
 We go for tea afterwards to the nearby pub and we always have a really long natter about all sorts of things we have been up to. 

Ruby will be going to Vickies for the day, and she will  take Ruby and Dougal for a walk this afternoon as the weather is fine.
So a good day will be had by all.

In the meantime I have done the draw for the Altenew gift pack and the name today is

Braided Ribbon

 Hi Everybody,

This pretty Lilac card is created using the Landmark Collection from a good few years ago so if you already have t then maybe it is time to get it out again for another airing

The main feature on this card though is the braided ribbon that I have added around the heart shape.

It is a technique that I videoed 11 years ago when Griff did all my filming, My goodness how things have changed since then, but I thought that this too would be good to get out once again.

I am sure that lots of you may have tried this in the past and then forgotten about it. 

Many things that we do come to the same conclusion and that is such a shame as many of them are really lovely ideas.

This is the current video on this idea .. 

.

But I am also adding in the original video that was done 11 years ago

Sherry hay - Winner

Hi Everybody,

Yes!  another week has gone by and we are already into February. They say time goes faster the older you get and in my case it is whizzing past at a great rate of knots. I try to keep active and Ruby and I are going walking today, with my family, while it is fine. 

We are going to Lytham Hall and we usually stop in the café for coffee and cake at the end of the walk.
It is a good distance and we natter all the way round to catch up with each others news.
