Hi Qween of dies, sue good news I've ordered my faux quilled blooms and the leaves, wanted more but they had no stock, so your collection must have gone wild, I'll just wait until they stock back up, loved the card and video, any chance we could Have more video's crafty hugs Julie xx
I recently received a card during a bout of I'll health and the unexpectedness really gave me a lift. If I'd received this gorgeous card the lift would have been even higher! So fresh and pretty. Alison
Hi Sue - this is so very pretty. So glad you have used the secret garden stamp as this is one of my favourites. Love the colours too. Hope you had a good journey back and looking forward to seeing you on C&C very soon. (Can't wait for my dies to arrive!!). Love YvonneMay
Hi Sue, What a beautiful, sunny card. Just what is needed after yesterday's foul weather. The colours are divine and the technique for the background stamp is brilliant. I can positively smell the flower. (Got all the stamps so must give this a go.....) Good to have you back, safe and sound. Hugs, Rose
Good morning Sue and fellow Wilsonettes, Haven't watched the video as yet but the card is beautiful, has all the colours of being on a tropical island some where in the pacific ocean, floating on the water with not a care in the world. Awh well back to reality it is still a beautiful card, Sue. The colours are so warm and inviting although with me they decide they are not to blend together but to stay in their designated parts that they have been put on. This is going to be another challenge Norah and Steph like the gilding flakes, but they will be conquered. Well done Sue on breaking the 4800 barrier i am so pleased that others are enjoying what we have known for a while...you're the best. Still on the look out for a new body from the neck downwards, and i don't care if they are watching parts, although the legs need to match so that i don't walk funny. The legs at the moment are the main necessity as these ones are no use, they keep buckling and making me be friends with the ground up close and personal. Not you understand that i have anything against the ground, its just that bit hard on the knees, legs, arms and head when they try to make friends. My boy has me wearing my buzzer because there is no one here, although being honest i feel terrible if medical care people came and tried to get me up, woah think they would need reinforcement for their backs. Heather flower, oh i hope that you feel better soon and that it is good news about the lump that you got removed. Sorry that you are feeling down and the storm last night wouldn't have helped, dreading the outcome when it is at peace again. I hope that you didn't get to much damage done. The folk across the road from me they lost their roof and had a fire the last storm that we had. That was October/November and it has taken the last 4 weeks to get it fixed. The people doing it has being taken the Michael and something that takes 3 days has been getting spun out for weeks. To all the people affected by the horrible weather, i can only hope that it subsides soon for you. The environment agency commissioned a group to come up with solutions as to how to deal with the rising problems such as is being realized the now by so many people. I wonder why they didn't do any of the recommendations? Hope you're feeling better today Steph from all your gallivanting out with your daughter earlier this week. I know it takes time for all the sore bits to stop jumping and get back to just normal throbbing. But enjoy a few quiet days before going into battle again with the shops or craft fayres. Anyway had my wee rant about the government departments again, and i'm away to try and get some crafting done if i can uncurl the fingers, so hopefully i will see you all tomorrow. Love and crafty hugs Norah (Glenochil)
Beautiful card and love the different colours. Definitely tropical compared to here as we have an inch of snow and it is still coming down.Hope you are safely back.
Wonderful Sunshine Filled Card ! Just what we all need but especially for Steph, Norah and Heather and other Wilsonettes that are feeling down, hope Sue's card lifts your spirits, it certainly works for me! Another great video, love the stamps used (wish I had them) and the colours and the embossing folder etc. it's sooo good to have you back. Still waiting for my goodies to arrive, keeping my fingers crossed for today. xo
Hi Sue! Love the gorgeous bright colours that you have used to make this gorgeous card. It was another "wow!" factor when I saw it. It brightens the day! All we need now is the sun, sea, sand, sea, the drink and the palm trees! Lol! Great word Cameeli! Fantastic video Sue, as always and "thank you". Hope you are managing to rest a bit after all the wonderful excitement you gave us with your gorgeous dies and cards that you showered us with. Happy die playing Wilsonette ladies and just to say it is so good to hear about your morning everyday. You should all write a book, it would definitely be a best seller! Good luck everybody in the Wednesday card Giveaway! xx Love Karen xx

Good morning Sue Welcome home hope you landed safely and the weather was not too much of a shock to your system!

My dies have arrived and are even better than I had hoped absolutely fabulous the bow is out of this world love them all thank you so much. I do hope Steph and Norah are feeling a little better today, I know just what you feel like Norah, I often measure my length it is hard on the knees especially. Heather T hang on in there girl, hope you feel better and more comfortable soon. Margaret corgi owner

Hi Sue Welcome back to our stormy shores!! Lovely to see your video - watched over breakfast!! Such a welcome colourful card - love the techniques- and hey I have those distress inks! A tidy up is due as I must find the double-sided sticky sheets and have another go with the micro beads. Craft hugs to all not feeling on top of the world! Sheila.
Gorgeous card Sue, really pretty. The micro-beaded strip is lovely and really makes the colours pop. Hope you are a bit rested and enjoying being back home.
Hi Sue postie just been with my second die striplet lattice heart they cut like a dream and emboss beautifuly. to days card would cheer anyone up that is feeling a bit poorly thanks for sharing Hugz Ruth
Lovely bright colours, just what I needed to cheer me up this morning, went out to feed the horses to find one very poorly one with colic, just a waiting game now, after waiting for the vet for an hour she has now had painkillers so fingers crossed. Thanks for the bright cheerful card and I hope you got home safely yesterday xx
Morning Sue, morning Wilsonettes. OUCH ! Looks like I have a boxing glove inserted beneath my knee and its SO painful, why now when I have our daughter due over to go source more wedding stationary items, I CANT let her down, these invites need to be started, although the menu still needs deciding, direction and places for guests to stay finalised, oh my, please Lord give me MORE enthusiasm than pain for at least a day or two ! My concentration must have taken a tropical holiday without me ! Great !!! Mothers Day/Easter cards are NO further forward and Im just not 'feeling it' For goodness sake, I need a good shake up. Thank you for allowing me back into your room of beauty and sanity Sue, can I just rest there a while please, I need to hide amd find 'life' again. What a beautiful gift today, the colour's are stunning and vibrant (unlike our sky today) maybe it's because its Thursday Im not as joyful as your gift should make me, think Im having a 'woe is me'.day, and I should be thankful for what I have ! I was thinking of you landing in those gales yesterday Sue, it must have been terrifying : 0 Micky French, NO touching and turning of that GC handle after your major surgery chick, the next 6 weeks are for rest and GENTLE excersise !! I have the T.shirt and believe me when I say I tried peeling pots for dinner a week after discharge, easy as I thought, WOW it knocked me for 6 so take ALL the help that is offered sweetheart xx How on earth have you managed to rest Sue ? Home yesterday and NEC tomorrow is it ? Or is my brain cell also on a tropical beach without ME ? It feels that way I can tell ya ! Really hoping everyone is above water level today and homes intact. Thank you for your lovely video and lovely smile today Sue, how come you dont get stuck up with tape like I do ? It always takes two tries before I manage to stop one end curling over to stick to the other ! Just one more thing to add to my frustration along with stupid uneaven numb fingers : ) Wishing love and hugs to all. Lancashire Steph xx
Hi Sue, I hope that you have arrived back safely to the UK. I was lucky enough to have a tropical holiday in Hawaii many years ago and this card reminds me of that. Wish I could go back someday, a beautiful card that cheers a wet windy day. Hugs Dawn Searle xxx
Hi Sue, Hi Everyone, Wow ,Sue what a glorious card! Great word Cameeli !! I love the blend of colours in both background and focal point. I need to be braver with inks! Also like the sentiment actually stamped on the card as it takes away the " where shall I put it decision !." Just lovely! Sorry you not so well , Heather and hope you feel better very soon! Norah you are amazing! You may fall down but your spirit is awesome! Trust you have a good day! Steph, hope you not having a bad Thursday! Craftily hugs to all who are not well. It's sunny at the moment here in Lancashire, it's showing up my dirty windows! Love Myra
Hi Sue, I think we could all do with a tropical holiday even if only in our crafty imaginations! Beautiful colours on the card and very simply done. Love it! Will watch your video now. Sue

Howdy Sue, I hope all's well at yours and that you can manage to brave out our weather after what must have been a lovely time away. Love today's card . Thanks Mabex
Gorgeous card Sue, love the bright sunny colours but I think you just beat the card for brightness!!! Cant wait to see some of the videos with the new dies to give us all some much needed inspiration. When you make a card you make it look so easy. Congratulations on the followers but its not really surprising with the views/comments you have had over the past week. Really looking forward to your next shows on C&C as it has been way too long.
hello sue and everyone. yes this card is so warming which is something we all need after the battering we took yesterday. hope heather t is feeling ok and poor steph and norah, you two are in so much pain but the way you describe your ailments has me in stiches although I,m not laughing at you it.s the way you tell em. thank you sue for your inspiration and hope you are keeping warm. from Christine c
hi Sue, what a zonking card, so sunny and cheerful. my neighbour has just had cancer surgery and I had already made her a card, but when Isaw this, I just had to do one too. Thank you so much for the inspiration and sunny image.from laura Burnett.
Welcome home Sue. A beautiful Sunshine card today, and I think we could all do with a bit of that, the card it's stunning. I really enjoyed the video, you make it all look so easy and very tidy. After my attempts of crafting my room looks like a bomb has exploded. I think we all need to go on a tropical holiday and try finding our own crafty Island to warm all of us up, and dry out.
Heather T. Sorry to hear about your op, hope you feel better soon.
Norah. Your boy sounds really caring,I hope you feel better soon. I agree with you about the government, they always talk about it after the problem occurs, rather than sort it before it becomes a problem too big to cope with.
Steph. Your leg sounds so painful,so I'm sending you big big Thursday hugs from me and Berkeley. 2 full nights sleep now, her medication must have kicked in.
Well I have to say seeing as how I have not been too well of late this stunning card is ideal to lift the spirits. It's just beautiful. Thanks for sharing this with us and I hope you enjoy the rest of your day. Margaret A.
Hi Sue would love a tropical holiday (dont think my bank manager would be so keen though lol) but this card would make a wonderful consolation. The colours are just bright enough not be to garish and if you were feeling ill it would certainly brighten your day. My filigree bow die set arrived today, will be having some fun later trying them out. xxxxx

Hi.Tres. Im sooo happy you can play happily again. Maybe the 'poppers' in to Sue's blog can NOW understand why we are SO loyal and protective of this amazing world called PARTICRAFT. Where else would you get the love and attention we get from Sue ? NOWHERE ! Which is why we get SO angry when the numbers rise when they stand to win something then stop leaving just a simple "Thank you for your inspiration" you soon realise the LOYAL to the not so LOYAL !!! : ( have fun dear TRES.
I wouldn't know what a tropical holiday feels like but if i were to ask for tropical colours these would be it, they are such 'fruity' colours, love this card, it sure is a good Get Well card to cheer the receiver! so colourful, Hugs, Vick x the-artful-codger.blogspot.com My YTChannel vixcrafts
Hi Sue, just found time to see video - as always, sue-perb! You know, I bought the Secret Garden stamp and when I saw the size of it, I wimped out and sold it!! Really must try to get into stamping properly. Snowstorm here in Wales today, but a couple of miles up the road we had tropical sunshine. Madness. Mrs Sheen's E.Striplet arrived today - but have to wait until tomorrow to play. Looks terrific.
Good evening Sue This card is just amazing - the colour combo is so wonderfully zesty, it would put a smile on anyone's face. Love..love..love! Hugs Sharon Kirkwood x

Hi Sue,
What a beautiful, sunny card. Just what is needed after yesterday's foul weather.
The colours are divine and the technique for the background stamp is brilliant. I can positively smell the flower. (Got all the stamps so must give this a go.....)
Good to have you back, safe and sound.
Hugs, Rose
Good morning Sue and fellow Wilsonettes,
Haven't watched the video as yet but the card is beautiful, has all the colours of being on a tropical island some where in the pacific ocean, floating on the water with not a care in the world. Awh well back to reality it is still a beautiful card, Sue. The colours are so warm and inviting although with me they decide they are not to blend together but to stay in their designated parts that they have been put on. This is going to be another challenge Norah and Steph like the gilding flakes, but they will be conquered. Well done Sue on breaking the 4800 barrier i am so pleased that others are enjoying what we have known for a while...you're the best.
Still on the look out for a new body from the neck downwards, and i don't care if they are watching parts, although the legs need to match so that i don't walk funny. The legs at the moment are the main necessity as these ones are no use, they keep buckling and making me be friends with the ground up close and personal. Not you understand that i have anything against the ground, its just that bit hard on the knees, legs, arms and head when they try to make friends. My boy has me wearing my buzzer because there is no one here, although being honest i feel terrible if medical care people came and tried to get me up, woah think they would need reinforcement for their backs.
Heather flower, oh i hope that you feel better soon and that it is good news about the lump that you got removed. Sorry that you are feeling down and the storm last night wouldn't have helped, dreading the outcome when it is at peace again. I hope that you didn't get to much damage done. The folk across the road from me they lost their roof and had a fire the last storm that we had. That was October/November and it has taken the last 4 weeks to get it fixed. The people doing it has being taken the Michael and something that takes 3 days has been getting spun out for weeks.
To all the people affected by the horrible weather, i can only hope that it subsides soon for you. The environment agency commissioned a group to come up with solutions as to how to deal with the rising problems such as is being realized the now by so many people. I wonder why they didn't do any of the recommendations?
Hope you're feeling better today Steph from all your gallivanting out with your daughter earlier this week. I know it takes time for all the sore bits to stop jumping and get back to just normal throbbing. But enjoy a few quiet days before going into battle again with the shops or craft fayres.
Anyway had my wee rant about the government departments again, and i'm away to try and get some crafting done if i can uncurl the fingers, so hopefully i will see you all tomorrow.
Love and crafty hugs
Norah (Glenochil)
Beautiful card and love the different colours. Definitely tropical compared to here as we have an inch of snow and it is still coming down.Hope you are safely back.
Wonderful Sunshine Filled Card ! Just what we all need but especially for Steph, Norah and Heather and other Wilsonettes that are feeling down, hope Sue's card lifts your spirits, it certainly works for me! Another great video, love the stamps used (wish I had them) and the colours and the embossing folder etc. it's sooo good to have you back. Still waiting for my goodies to arrive, keeping my fingers crossed for today. xo
Hi Sue! Love the gorgeous bright colours that you have used to make this gorgeous card. It was another "wow!" factor when I saw it. It brightens the day! All we need now is the sun, sea, sand, sea, the drink and the palm trees! Lol! Great word Cameeli! Fantastic video Sue, as always and "thank you". Hope you are managing to rest a bit after all the wonderful excitement you gave us with your gorgeous dies and cards that you showered us with. Happy die playing Wilsonette ladies and just to say it is so good to hear about your morning everyday. You should all write a book, it would definitely be a best seller! Good luck everybody in the Wednesday card Giveaway! xx Love Karen xx
Gorgeous card and just the right colours to cheer everyone up on a dull day.

Thanks for the bright cheerful card and I hope you got home safely yesterday xx
Gorgeous card.Just what is needed to brighten up a wet & windy day.Need to cut down on stash buying to afford a tropical holiday lol.
Helen Bx
Morning Sue, morning Wilsonettes. OUCH ! Looks like I have a boxing glove inserted beneath my knee and its SO painful, why now when I have our daughter due over to go source more wedding stationary items, I CANT let her down, these invites need to be started, although the menu still needs deciding, direction and places for guests to stay finalised, oh my, please Lord give me MORE enthusiasm than pain for at least a day or two ! My concentration must have taken a tropical holiday without me ! Great !!! Mothers Day/Easter cards are NO further forward and Im just not 'feeling it' For goodness sake, I need a good shake up.
Thank you for allowing me back into your room of beauty and sanity Sue, can I just rest there a while please, I need to hide amd find 'life' again.
What a beautiful gift today, the colour's are stunning and vibrant (unlike our sky today) maybe it's because its Thursday Im not as joyful as your gift should make me, think Im having a 'woe is me'.day, and I should be thankful for what I have ! I was thinking of you landing in those gales yesterday Sue, it must have been terrifying : 0
Micky French, NO touching and turning of that GC handle after your major surgery chick, the next 6 weeks are for rest and GENTLE excersise !! I have the T.shirt and believe me when I say I tried peeling pots for dinner a week after discharge, easy as I thought, WOW it knocked me for 6 so take ALL the help that is offered sweetheart xx
How on earth have you managed to rest Sue ? Home yesterday and NEC tomorrow is it ? Or is my brain cell also on a tropical beach without ME ? It feels that way I can tell ya !
Really hoping everyone is above water level today and homes intact.
Thank you for your lovely video and lovely smile today Sue, how come you dont get stuck up with tape like I do ? It always takes two tries before I manage to stop one end curling over to stick to the other ! Just one more thing to add to my frustration along with stupid uneaven numb fingers : )
Wishing love and hugs to all.
Lancashire Steph xx
Hi Sue, I hope that you have arrived back safely to the UK. I was lucky enough to have a tropical holiday in Hawaii many years ago and this card reminds me of that. Wish I could go back someday, a beautiful card that cheers a wet windy day.

Hi Sue,
Hi Everyone,
Wow ,Sue what a glorious card!
Great word Cameeli !!
I love the blend of colours in both background and focal point. I need to be braver with inks! Also like the sentiment actually stamped on the card as it takes away the " where shall I put it decision !." Just lovely!
Sorry you not so well , Heather and hope you feel better very soon!
Norah you are amazing! You may fall down but your spirit is awesome! Trust you have a good day!
Steph, hope you not having a bad Thursday!
Craftily hugs to all who are not well.

Congratulations on the followers but its not really surprising with the views/comments you have had over the past week.
Really looking forward to your next shows on C&C as it has been way too long.
Looks gorgeous - will watch the video once we've finished storm repairs around the house :(

Hi Sue
Welcome home Sue.
A beautiful Sunshine card today, and I think we could all do with a bit of that, the card it's stunning. I really enjoyed the video, you make it all look so easy and very tidy. After my attempts of crafting my room looks like a bomb has exploded. I think we all need to go on a tropical holiday and try finding our own crafty Island to warm all of us up, and dry out.
Heather T. Sorry to hear about your op, hope you feel better soon.
Norah. Your boy sounds really caring,I hope you feel better soon. I agree with you about the government, they always talk about it after the problem occurs, rather than sort it before it becomes a problem too big to cope with.
Steph. Your leg sounds so painful,so I'm sending you big big Thursday hugs from me and Berkeley. 2 full nights sleep now, her medication must have kicked in.
My message should have ended with
Kind regards :-)

Hi Sue would love a tropical holiday (dont think my bank manager would be so keen though lol) but this card would make a wonderful consolation. The colours are just bright enough not be to garish and if you were feeling ill it would certainly brighten your day.

A lovely cheery card today. Especially as the weather is so dismal at the moment.

Hello Sue, A beautiful card to cheer us up.Glad you got back safely. I do hope you brought better weather back.
I have almost got my cases packed, shopping done, only waiting for a family party for our 40th Wedding Anniversary before we set off on our 34 day cruise in S.A, and the Caribbean.

Hi.Tres. Im sooo happy you can play happily again. Maybe the 'poppers' in to Sue's blog can NOW understand why we are SO loyal and protective of this amazing world called PARTICRAFT. Where else would you get the love and attention we get from Sue ? NOWHERE ! Which is why we get SO angry when the numbers rise when they stand to win something then stop leaving just a simple "Thank you for your inspiration" you soon realise the LOYAL to the not so LOYAL !!! : ( have fun dear TRES.

Evening my dear Sue,
I wouldn't know what a tropical holiday feels like but if i were to ask for tropical colours these would be it, they are such 'fruity' colours, love this card, it sure is a good Get Well card to cheer the receiver! so colourful, Hugs, Vick x

Such a bright and cheery card, would make anyone feel better.
beautiful card again Sue, most uplifting colours to take away the drabness of our horrible weather xx
Hi Sue, just found time to see video - as always, sue-perb! You know, I bought the Secret Garden stamp and when I saw the size of it, I wimped out and sold it!! Really must try to get into stamping properly.
Snowstorm here in Wales today, but a couple of miles up the road we had tropical sunshine. Madness.
Mrs Sheen's E.Striplet arrived today - but have to wait until tomorrow to play. Looks terrific.

Meant to say, Sue, would rather have your new dies than a tropical holiday. Permanent sunshine!
