Snowflakes Oval Filigree Frame

Hi Everybody,

Today I am using the Snowflakes Oval die set and this is also a new one that is available at Craft Stash. 

This die set will work beautifully with the Complete Oval Box and Card Die Set so that you can vary our creations.

This video is not long so I hope you will enjoy it. 
It gives you tow ideas using the same colour card and the same die sets.

All my collections are available at Craft Stash.

 
There is a vast amount of items for you to choose from at Craft Stash for everything to do with any kind of crafting, you just need to have a good old mooch about the website to find what you want.

If your MoJo has gone walkabouts you will find inspiring ideas that you may like to try and if you are busy getting ready for Christmas then there is sure to be something that you would like

Rose Filigree Frame

 Hi Everybody,

I feel like I am making a comeback and I am sorry for my absence. But many of you know why I have been away.

At long last I have a new video for you and this one features the Rose Filigree Frame from the new Festive Frames Collection.

I feel really out of touch with everything and I wish I could say that I am now sorted and fit.

 I am back with the consultant this week and so maybe I will have something to report once I have spoken to him. Wish me luck !!

For now here is the card that I have created with the new dies and I have used a very inexpensive Kraft Card.  

This is not something that I use often but it can produce some lovely designs is coupled with other colours.  The video will show you how I made it and I think it is very effective. 

 I hope you enjoy the video and it's not very long.

Thank you for your patience with me over the last few months.

 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 ...

Winner

 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 …

Colleen Bohn
