Hi Everybody,
I have had a lazy start to my day because Ruby and I didn’t get up till 9.30 ish !! But at least it’s not raining at present so that’s a bonus point. I really hope you are all staying safe wherever in the world you are and that this horrible virus will find a vaccine soon. My personal thought is that we will never be rid of it now that it is here but that we will be able to control it. How that will affect life in the future is anybodies guess.
I have done the draw for the lovely boxed kit by Joanna Sheen, that is on offer from yesterday and the name today is ...

Hi Everybody,
Next week I will be continuing with the boxed kits as I have several more to give away. They are all quality kits filled with lots of "goodies" for you to play with. Sadly some of them are own and do not get claimed though I must admit it's not many.
But for now this is another chance to win the Victoria & Albert Papercraft Collection that was offered a few weeks ago and never claimed. Some ones loss then will be some one else's gain this week.
If you add your comment be sure to come back and check over the weekend if your name is shown in the blog postInside this kit you will find 83 paper and toppers for your designs, along with stamps, dies and an A6 embossing folder.
Plus the magazine will give you lots of information and inspiration that you may like to try for yourself .
Now if this is something that you would like then all you need to do is leave me a comment at the end of this post. The winner will announced over the weekend so be sure to come back and check if your name is shown
Some things to remember …
1/ You will need to leave your FULL NAME
2/ Your comment will not show up until it has been moderated
3/ Come back and check if you are the winner
What more can I … say Good Luck everybody
More tomorrow …

Hi Everybody,
Thank you for taking part in this weeks draw and I hope the winner comes forward to claim it this time. There may be many reasons why some one doesn’t come back but it is sad whatever the reason.
I just hope that you are all staying safe as this virus continues to be with us.
We in Blackpool or on a full lockdown again as the numbers rise.
I have noticed that some of you are saying that your comments are not showing up, and you are leaving the same message three or four times. If you read the notice when you add the comment it does tell you that comments will not be added until they have been moderated by me … and so of course there is nothing there for you to see. I delete the extra messages as I see them
Please be patient as your comments will be there once I have been through all those that have been added.
This just ensures that naughty messages, like the ones that where being added a while ago don’t show up on my blog to offend someone. They offended me I can assure you and they needed to be eliminated from the section.
So onto this weeks winner and the name this week …

Hi Everybody,
I hope you are all keeping well and staying safe as this virus now opens up for a second round. It is probably something we are never going to be free from but hopefully a way to control it will be found in the not too distant future.
I have done the draw for the three Card Making Magic kits that were on offer yesterday and I thank you all for a really good response. However I am sad to say that for the last two weeks the prizes have not been claimed..
I always add the winners name to a blog post just like this week and I also add it to the Winners page that can be reached in the side bar to the left. You need to come back and check for your self if it is your name that is shown as I have no way of letting you know if you are a winner.
Now onto the winners of each of the kits....
1/ Donella Garwood
2/ Hilary Bunker
3/ Janet Boyne
Could each of you please email me your postal address to
christina@card-making-magic.com
and I will get the kits in the post to you as soon as I can.
I hope you will enjoy playing with them and please let me know that you have got them safely.

Hi Everybody,
Hi Everybody,
I just wanted to pop in and say a big "Thank You" to all of you who have sent me well wishes, prayers and cards while I have been out of action for the past few weeks. It is very much appreciated and I really do hope to be back soon. I miss blogging and videoing and all of YOU too
Now yesterday I received these beautiful flowers in a glass vase with a box of chocolates and a card from Elaine Prendergast.
I duly sent her the prize she had won and I asked her if she would like "Goodies" for the children to craft with.
So I sent off the box with all kinds of things in it and I ended up with my
Irish Fan Club
This is the link to the post about them and the card they all made and signed for me.

Hi Everybody,
Hi Everybody,
The papers are quality and not the cheap slippery stuff that is neither use nor ornament and the embossing folder is full of leaves to create beautiful backgrounds for you designs. I am sure you will have loads of fun with this pack.
Now if you would like to win this one then leave me a comment and be sure to add your FULL NAME to the entry. One name will be chosen as the winner and announced over the weekend so be sure to come back and check if it is your name that is shown.

Here I have made it into an Anniversary Card and added just a handful of mulberry flowers that have been sprinkled with glitter.
Flowers are always a winner for feminine cards and I don't know anybody that wouldn't like these on her card.
I like to add mine with hot glue from a glue gun and that way I am sure that they won't fall off.
But of course you would need to add this type of card to a box to be sure it doesn't get crushed. For my card and box I have used the 5x7 Complete card and box die set and everything else is designed to fit neatly with it.
