Spring at Last !!

Hi Everybody,

Well here we are and next week it's May Bank Holiday already. I have been really busy and so my apologies for not sending out the newsletter sooner.

A lot of my time is being taken with keeping you up to date with the fabulous free gifts that are given away each month with the magazines.

You can get your favorite one from selected supermarkets and craft shops and WHSmiths if you are in the UK.

They are also available at Moremags and you can also take out a subscription there if you prefer.

There have been some amazing quality gifts in the past and it is a really good way for you to extend your crafting stash.

In future issues there will be stamps, dies, paper packs, stencils as well as other goodies, so at least having that sneaky peak in the videos will let you make your mind up about which magazine you would like

Many of you have let me know that you are enjoying these videos and you then go out to find the one that you want.

This was made with the gift from Simply Cards and Papercraft Issue 162 - Build a Bouquet and I used Brusho Crystal Colours to add the vibrancy.

I have lots of new videos that are added to my YouTube channel on a regular basis. They are step by step videos to show you how I made my card.

I add the links to the products used and they are also on the blog too.

This is the link

YouTube Channel for you to check them out.

If you enjoy the videos then please give it the "Thumbs Up" that lets YouTube know that you enjoy this kind of video

So just a little about the Card Making Gallery Thank you for adding your projects to the Gallery pages but you need to add some information too when you add photos. If they are just a one line descriptions I am sorry but I cannot accept them.

The reason is because I get emails from people asking me how it was done and of course I don't know because I haven't made it. You may know how you made "Mums Birthday Card ..." but no one else does

You don't need to write an essay but some basic details would help. Size of the finished card, materials used and any dies that you have used too.

Please tell us something about yourself and how you made the card as one line tells visitors nothing....

So if you have added a card lately and it does not show up then if you added a one line description then that is why it's not there

On the blog each week I have a Friday Freebie. That is your chance to win one of the cards I make and all you need to do is leave me a comment ... to the blog page and NOT on Facebook

It doesn't matter if you have won a card previously or even where you live .. I am happy to send the card to you anywhere at my expense.

You will need to come back the next morning to see if it is you as I have no way to contact you if you win

I cannot chase you up... and you only have 72 hours in which to claim it and if you don't you will lose it to someone else

I have added a Winners Page for you to check for your name and also past winners.

Updates ...

Please become a subscriber so that you will get notification whenever I add a new tutorial and as I add them each week usually on a Thurdsay

Thank you as always for your support with both the website and the blog
