Merry Christmas xxx

Hi Everybody,

I wish you all a very Merry Christmas  despite the restrictions placed on us all by Covid 19.

My plans for the day have been totally changed, more or less the day after I told you what they where for a small dinner on Christmas Day.

Lets hope that next year will be better and we can all get together again and enjoy our families as we should.

As you will have noticed there is no Friday Freebie this week so I hope you are not too disappointed, but be sure to come back next week and see what is on offer as a special gift for the start of 2021.

See you soon ...

New Heart Box

Hi Everybody,

Just popping in, after a busy week, to tell you that my brand new collection will be featured on Hochanda this afternoon.

The Heart Box will be demonstrated by Pauline Hickey and I am sure she will have some beautiful samples to show you. 

So I hope you can join her to see what she has in store.

This box is created with the largest of the Heart Boxes and then I have covered it all with Jute to make it really different.

I even made the flower to go on the top with hessian and string, and of course the pearls add that litle bit extra too.

There are a lot of ways you can dress up this shape and it will suitable for any occasion. There are two sizes to  the Heart Box it will suit any thing from party or wedding favours to larger gifts like .... chocolates  !! And you can make the matching Card to accompany it.

I hope you enjoy Pauline shows

More tomorrow ...

Clean & Simple

 Hi Everybody,

I know not everybody likes my style of cardmaking with all its flowers and flounces so especially for them I have done a really clean and simple card using the Stunning Snowdrops Channel dies.

For this card I have inked the background starting in the middle and working my way to the edges with lighter strokes of Wilted Violet.

And the added the Snowdrops cut in plain white card to the top. I have wrapped this panel with purple ribbon and a bow before adding it to the white card base.

I have used he stamp With Love from the collection and then dotted it with lilac gemstones as a finishing touch.

I think it looks really cool and I wold be happy to get this for any occasion.

More tomorrow ...

Winners

 Hi Everybody,

Are you now ready for Christmas? I have managed .... with help .... to put up a tree because on Christmas Day I have my daughters and Grandchildren  coming for dinner. We are sticking to the rules and it is only for the one day but it will make such a difference to all of us to sit and eat together.

My eldest daughter is Vegan and so she is bringing all her own food with her. And if you remember last year I went there for a Vegan Christmas. But this year the turkey is calling for my youngest daughter and me.

I have now done the draw for the two Card Making Magic boxed kits and the names are ....
