Good Sunday morning all! I found this card from last October hiding in one of my files recently so I thought I would give it it's day on the blog. It's a particularly simple card, but we can all use those from time to time I think so definitely not without value. I selected a piece of
Teresa Collins paper from the Creative Expressions paper pad and covered it with a
self adhesive sticky sheet. I coated it with
micro beads for a rich textural feel to it. I cut two of the
Frosty Forms borders in black and glued them to the top and bottom of the card. I love it when I can use a "Christmas" die in a project that is anything but Christmassy! I stamped the
Happy Birthday Labels Four stamps by Justrite in black on to
milk coloured card. I cut it out with the matching die and inked it with
Antique Linen before removing it from the die. I used mounting foam and added it to the centre of the card. I made a rose flower following the instructions on my tutorial at the top of the blog and seated it on some black tulle and twine on the corner of my focal element. I added a
black pearl swirl on the opposite side. I added a double peach mat with an inner pierced mat layer to complete the card. Truly as simple as it looks. Finished dimensions are 7 1/4" x 8 1/4" in size.

Morning Sue and everyone, love today's card, gorgeous.
Congrats to all winners especially Yvonne .
My daughter took me out for a trip to town in my hired wheelchair, it wasn't too bad Julie and it was so good to be out of the house, go on give it a go.
My brother is a little down at the moment, I know that it is partly jet lag and also missing Mary and Robbie. it has been hard for him to talk about Robbie so I am just letting him find his own way and time.
NannaTina when my daughter lost her beloved 13 yr old boxer Rocky two yrs ago, she got a wooden casket carved like a boxer for his ashes and it sits in the corner of the room. Her rescue boxer Buster seems to like to lie near it.
Itta hope the hospital can get you sorted this time.
Steph, I felt your frustration yesterday, sure I heard you shouting even in Hartlepool.
Love and hugs to all Wilsonettes and a special hug for baby Leo xx
Lovely card Sue the paper is fab and I love the border die.
Congratulations to all the lucky winners enjoy your prize.
Hugs to all

Good morning Sue and everyone. I'm not a fan of the colours today I'm afraid, it's just a tad dark for my liking but I love how you've made the rose from patterned paper.
Congratulations to all the winners. Sue xxx
Nice card, Sue, bit of a blast from the past with that border - it is a great one - and do love the TC papers (which I have but just look at!)
Well done to all the winners.

Good morning Sue
I too have TC papers that I just look at 'P' in Wales I thought it was only me that did that lol. I love the rose made out of the background paper. It's great when you can adapt Christmas dies I like this die and had forgotten all about it.
Congratulations to all the winners.

Hi Sue
Love the card the border die is stunning never tried micro beads I think I might have to put them on my wish list.
Max's ashes have come in a lovely box with a brass plaque a few years ago my daughter bought us an ornament of a cute German Shepherd with Max's name on so he sits next to the box on the fireplace, it is lovely to have him home.
Pam I think we will gets something done for Max when hubby feels up to it he is feeling very lost as he was his shadow where ever he went Max would be with him.
Baby hugs for Leo
Congratulations to all the winners
Huge hugs and love to everyone and a big thank you for all your comments they mean the world to me.

Great card Sue, glad you found this one.
Morning Sue. This is lovely card with the christmas border that is not a christmas border on this card lol. Loving the way you make the flowers out of the matching paper. Will give this one a try. Congrats to all the winners. Have a great day.
Best Wishes.

My usual Sunday Smiles to you Sue, and 'my' sister Wilsonettes.... Oh for goodness, Ive forgotten now !!
Oh yeah, Wheely Bad - I love how you show your ink pads who's boss, I think I have some of that glue, but need a few more acrylic pads just to keep for stamping and pads - A Wheeley Good idea, thanks (see what I did then) AND its not even 7am (well it wasnt when I started my post) !
Heather T - thinking of you at your sad time. Remember the laughter.
Nana Tina xx
Pam - Pam, yep you heard me and I apologise for all 'the bombs ' I dropped, most unladylike ! One day at a time. Your brother may feel he can 'off load' better away from Robbie and family and have a good cry away from those he is 'afraid' of upsetting, I maybe talking utter rubbish as Im here and you are there, in the middle of your brothers worst possible nightmare. I send you both much love Pam, if only we could take the pain he is feeling, and I WILL say it "life is SO unfair"
Ooooooh wouldn't I just luurve a divorce (maybe not right now) but after supper tonight sounds just the job lol. Sounds a dream of a villiage and holiday - lucky Sandra.
Well done to comment winners. Enjoy your gift, I use mine regularly, infact I was using it on my 3hr destroyed card !
I really like todays card Sue, its different. Maybe its all the dark colour's used (probably is a tad lighter in real life) as I find photo's do tend to adjust the true colour's plus sometimes micro beads seem to slightly darken the colour of the paper/card they go over, or is it just me that finds that ? I was quite suprised the 1st time I used them, as I used burgundy colour card, and being glass I thought they would reflect and make the card a few shades lighter, durrr... Wrong LOL.
So now I also need to add Theresa Collins paper pad to my 'I love stroking paper' club ! Thank goodness some have 3 the same, as at least you can hang onto one sheet without using it reluctantly !
So now Ive done, the sentiment today goes to you Sue and all my lovely friends here (you ALL know who you are and how special you are to me)
Have a good day.
Love to our Wilsonettes that dont feel so strong in health and mind. Tomorrow is another day.
Love you.
Lancashire Steph (now WELL past 7am) !!! xxx

morning Sue
Today's gift is definitely one for the more subdued ladies I think. I love the composition but I would like to see it done in a little brighter colours. I know we don't always want the 'I'm in your face' appearance but for me it's a little too subdued.
Steph - Oh how I can empathize with you and certainly did yesterday. When I set my crafting table up (I don't have a craft room and so have to use the veranda over here or the dining room with in the UK)I always cover it with a piece of table oilcloth and then I have copy paper to hand along with a full kitchen roll because like you I hate all the ink manufacturers - along with other ingredient manufacturers- when they do not leave enough material to be able to hold never mind to open such things as lids/tops etc. Big deep breathe Steph; shout at the wall and then try again - hugs to you.
I hope that makes sense!!
To all who are due to travel to their holiday destination take care and arrive safely.
Sandra - will try my best for you re the sunshine dance -
Once again we are going to another village brocante this morning although looking through the window we shall be taking waterproofs and brollies! I managed to spend £3 yesterday and bought one of those old bamboo carpet beaters (for all those ladies of my age who can remember Mum/Grandma putting carpets over the washing line every Spring and beat the living daylights out of it with one of these). Mr E looked at it when I bought it and told the stallholder that it was for 'husband bashing' - his sense of humour having an outing once again!!!. The little man didn't look very impressed at all!! What can you do?
Hope everyone is OK and having a good weekend. Take care please and see you tomorrow.
Janet x
Hi Sue. Gorgeous card today. Love the colours, and the frostyville border (one of which is in my own collection) is definitely a favourite :-) I am off on holiday today, so probably won't be able to comment much this next coming week - internet access isn't great where we are going :-( Congrats to all the winners. Have a lovely day/week and hugs to all xxx
Sorry all. I lost my spacing on my comment today, and as I use my phone to comment every morning, so not as easy as using a laptop/computer, so I apologise for the unusual sentence floating in the wind at the bottom of my post ! Im as good with technology as I am with chuffin ink pads LOL : )
Lancashire Steph xx
Good morning Sue and everyone! Lovely card as usual, Sue, I never saw one of yours that I didn't like...sometimes you need a more subtle colour scheme for a particular person. I've got two of the TC paper pads, one to use and one to drool over...Love and hugs to all, Judy M
Good morning sue wow I love this one the border die beautiful and the rose is stunning just wish I could then as good as you. Take care Sue xx
Debs A xx
Morning Sue, Pam and everyone, well it is a glorious morning weather wise at the moment, blue skies here in Kent lets hope it continues. Sue a terrific card again, I love that border die and it is one I don't have, they both match up so well with the background and the sentiment..........oh I will have to start on my Christmas cards soon. Pam once your brother gets over the jet lag and begins to talk about Robbie I am sure it will help him, fingers crossed. Good news about getting out for you, when do you have the plaster off. Have a great day everyone, keep safe, healthy and happy. June Smith xxx Oh sorry forgot to say congratulations to all the winners xxxx
Lovely card Sue ... Love the colours and the flower ... The papers are nice ... Have a nice Sunday ...
Good Morning Sue.
Congrats to the winners.
Lovely card today. I love using Christmas dies on unchristmas cards thereby getting more use out of them. Beautiful flower-must have a look at the tutorial.
Love Val in Spain x
Lovely card Sue , great borders on that micro beaded background , I love the effect.
Hope YOU have a lovely day Sue,
XxRuth
Hi Sue
Love the die cut border on this card. The paper is very pretty and I just love micro beads! Fab Rose made with the design paper. Thanks for sharing.
Congrats to the winners.
Hugs to all who need one.
Keep smiling!
Great card & I can't believe the border is really for chtistmas.
Michele.
Hi Sue, love the card very pretty borders, congrats to the winners . love Jean Z xxx
Morning Sue, This card definitely deserves it's 'day' on the Blog, I love it !! The micro beads change a piece of patterned paper considerably, and give added texture, and I thought I recognised the border as being from the frosty forms, I use this border on nearly every card at Christmas. I love this card.
Congratulations to the lucky Winners, enjoy your goodies.
Lots of love from Patricia xx
Congrats to the winners..lovely card and those dies are fabulous! Hugs Carole Z X
Lovely card. The colors work well for a mans card.
I agree with Pharmacy Michele I can't believe the border die is a Christmas one! Will need to investigate that set
Morning Sue, There is quite a vintage feel to this one, I like it. I to have Theresa Collins papers but at the moment have only used a few, I haven't finished just looking at them yet! Glad I am not the only one who does that.
Love Rosemarie xx
Lovely subdued card. Really like the micro beads and the rose in the music paper,
congratulations to the winners
Muriel x
Good morning Sue, I really like this border die, as you say not at all like a Christmas die. The result is a beautiful card Beryl xx
Mornin all.
Lovely card sue.
Hi Sue - I love this card and the Theresa Collins papers - this design is one I have been wondering how to use and you have now given me the answer! I love these papers and have nearly finished one book, but have another in my stash! Hope there will be more designs in the future. Congratulations to all the winners today. Best wishes

Good Sunday Morning Sue & lovely friends,
Sun is shining & birds are singing, I have been awake virtually the whole night, you know those nights where you just can't relax ?
I have that border die, it is beautifully ornate without being too frilly and you would never believe it was from a Christmas themed set of dies, gorgeous card today Sue, I am glad you found it, it is nice to revisit older dies, otherwise they sit in the drawer never seeing the light of day, any chance of some more older die inspiration, sometimes you forget how beautiful they are, so Vintage Die Day, would be amazing (pretty please)! Haha. Sue I do hope you are no where near the strong wind and rain they have forecast for us!
Pam your bother will probably be happy just for someone to sit and listen, I think it's quite hard for Dads or(men) in general, they are experiencing the same devastating event as we are but they often feel that they have to hide their emotions and be strong, be the pillar that everyone else needs to lean on to get them through, so it may take a while for him to open up and let his emotions out, (I may be wrong but we went through a similar situation where medical mistake took away my mobility and independence) my husband was the rock and I could see he was struggling to listen and care for the rest of the family! Huge hugs coming your way!
Nanna Tina, we bought a beautiful rose, it has had loads of beautiful yellow roses, it was a rose that signified remembrance, we put it into a gorgeous pot with our very much loved dog Gemma's ashes, we rescued her as a pup and she was part of our lives for 14 years, they leave a huge void when they are gone, hugs xxx
Janet....divorce yesterday & beating him today, poor fella, just watch he is not planning his revenge! Haha, in the words of Bruce Forsyth Janet..please keeeep Dancing! 3 more days until we depart, we have to do ferry this time as tunnel was booked up, so no high winds please! I had an email from Cameeli yesterday, sounds like she is having an amazing time, she's back on Friday!
Congratulations to all of the very lucky winners!
Well I have probably waffled way too much, so I will send hugs to: pat, Mrs B, Margaret, Lynne , Lynda , Julie, Norah, Yorkielass, Steph, Brenda, Angela, Karen,Alison, Myra, TOB, Maureen & every last one of you, sending you all big hugs & lots of love!
Sandra xxxxxx (sorry about the length)
Love this way to use background papers, and really like the flower. Congratulations to all the winners xx
Good morning Sue. A beautiful card, especially like the rose. Thank you
Hi Sue,
Love the concept of this card but not the colours, great idea to bring the frosty border out for non Christmas cards it is so versatile.
Donna Jones
Good morning Sue, and all the ladies.
Great card today, I really like it.
Congratulations to all the comment winners.
Take care everyone xx
Hi Sue, Another Beautiful Card, I really Love The Background Paper you've used from Teresa Collins from The Creative Expressions Collection, and a Beautiful Collection it is.
I Love how you've covered the whole of The Background Sheet using one of my all time Favorite The Micro Beads, they feel Extremely Tactile when placed on a Card, I Love how you've cut out Two of The Frosty Forms Borders they look amazing in Black, and then placed them on your Card.
I Truly Love your Focal Point from The Happy Birthday Labels Four Stamp by JustRite.
Then I Love how you've added The Beautiful Rose Flower made from a Music Sheet I believe also from The Fabulous Teresa Collins Paper Pad, then adding Tulle, Twine. Sue Thank You For This Beautiful Stunning Extremely Opulent Card. Thank You For Sharing your Fabulous work with us, Thank You for the tips and techniques, Thank You for The Great Photography, Thank You For This Tremendous Blog and all your Extremely Hard Work.
From Me A Huge Thank You For All The Inspiration You Give To Me Each And Every Day.
Sue Take Great Care

Morning everyone congratulations to all the winners. Love the micro beads they always give everything such a special effect. The border is beautiful for Xmas and also that it is multi purpose. Looking forward to seeing some more Christmas cards?

Good morning Sue, nice and sunny again here, we seem to have escaped all the rain everyone else is having. Not too keen on the colours here but I must look out that border and make more use of it as it looks so nice. You talk about a blast from the past, I was looking at an old tape from December 2010 when the Grand Calibur was first introduced and you demonstrated your out of the box technique amongst other things. haven't we all come a long way since then!! love from Jackie D
Hi Sue,
Elegant and beautiful is what I would describe this card as. So glad it's got its "outing" on the blog. I love the frosty form border, and also use it throughout the yeaar.
Hugs, Rose
Morning Sue,
Beautiful card, love the colours you have used and the simple elegance is so lovely.

I just love this card, the borders are great. That backing paper looks really nice.
Had a really bad night so off to rest.
Hugs to everyone.

Lovely card again Sue, using that border is inspired, and you are right, it doesn't look a bit Christmassy, so definitely an all year round one from now on. Congrats to the winners too!
How come Pam always gets to be first every day nowadays?
Love today's card, Sue, the paper is fabulous, the flower is gorgeous!
Happy Sunday all!

Bye for now.

Hi Sue
Another stunning card today. The frosty forms look gorgeous. I have lots of dies but not the older ones. The frosty die looks lovely, I wonder if you can still get this one. I saw some cards made with the Grand Large Labels and thought how lovely it looked, but Spellbinders no longer do this one, boo hoo. I to have the Theresa Collins pad, but haven't used it yet it's so nice. When I buy paper pads they always had a few I didn't like, but this one all the papers are gorgeous. But Sue helped in the making of it so what else could we expect.
Pam, your brother will open up about his feeling in due time, don't rush him. He'll just need someone to talk to. Hugs as usual to you all.
Sandra hopefully you'll have a good crossing on Thursday, I'll keep everything crossed for you, and the weather should be good in Spain. Hope Milo is now behaving himself after his little op.
Hope you are keeping well Mrs B, I'll email soon.
Congratulations to all the lucky winners this week.
Hugs to all those in need of one today.
Hi Sue love today's card with the microbeads and pretty paper ( yes another paper stroker!) . I had to look twice at the boarder to see that it was a Christmas one and it's good to see an old one revisited. Have a great day Sue and congrats to all the winners. Love Diane G xxx

Elaine H X
Hi Sue,
This card defitinitely deserved it's day on the blog! It's lovely. I love Teresa Collins papers and will definitely try to make a musical flower or two as I have a friend who is very musical - great idea! Love the black border too and pearl swirls.
Steph - you really made me think about ink pads etc yesterday! We can all have accidents - I drop things all the time - but then if I destroy something it won't be three hours hard work lost. The lids could do with a little lip or something sticking out so that it would be easier to lift off. That little finger you talked about "waving round the corner" - is it just right for drinking a posh cup of tea! Keep smiling - you always do x
Pam - so pleased you had a little trip out yesterday. Your brother has been and still going through so much. My thoughts and prayers are with you all. Especially Robbie.
Tina - my husband was completely lost when our dog died as like you said she followed him everywhere. Thinking of you both.
Janet - I bought a carpet beater in a charity shop a couple of years back. It gets decorated at Christmas and hung on the wall. You'd still be able to use the flat side for beating if necessary!! Ha ha.
Sandra - sorry you had a bad night . Hope you sleep well tonight .
Rain has stopped this morning - wow have we had some rain!Garden needed it .
Hope you all have a nice day. Sending love to Norah,
Anne, Brenda, Alison, Tandy, Tres, Wheelybad, Julie L, June, Lynne, Lynda , Ita - thinking of you too., Margaret and Heather. And anyone I've forgotten. X

Hi Sue,
Love the use of micro beads on the background it just lifts a plain paper!

Morning Sue, another lovely card, would not have known the border was a Christmas one.
I also have Teresa Collins paper pads,(also a paper stroker - too nice to use) but have used some of them.
Congratulations to today's winners, take care everyone, Jess x
A beautiful card, the micro beads really take the background to a new level giving a lovely frosty effect.x
Hi Sue, a very pretty card. Kind regards Joanne K x
Hi Sue, a lovely card. Congratulations to all the winners.
Love the card today. Beautiful colours too.
Hi Sue. Love today's card. One of the many reasons why I love following you is that you show cards for everyone, both in the design and the level of difficulty in making them. I love the border die, you wouldn't think of it as being a Christmas one when you see it used on here would you, it's always good to get more use out of our dies isn't it : )
Sending my daily hugs to you Sue, to Pam and Robbie-I would be doing just the same as you are with your brother by giving him some breathing space, bless him. Hugs to Sandra- I will email you but really glad you are on the up, to Pat- wouldn't it be great if we could fit in Sandras suitcases: ) to all my special friends and to all in need. Take care.
A very striking card, Sue
The 'Lovely Day' stamp is....lovely :)
Congrats, winners!

Lovely card, gorgeous. Wishing you a lovely day. Congrats to the winners.
Hi Sue
Thanks for a quick and simple card today. I'm finding photographs don't always do microbeads justice. They truly change a plain backing paper into something really special. It's easy to forget the older dies we each have so thanks for taking us back down memory lane.Congrats to all the winners. Good morning Sunday wishes to all Wilsonettes and their families, hugs to anyone in need.
Vanessa x
Unique card Sue, sometimes simply is good. I like it.
Maxine T
Hello Sue, So glad that you found this card and gave it an airing, it is gorgeous and deserves to be admired. The Frosty Forms are so versatile and I use mine frequently. Love the Teresa Collins paper and like P in Wales, Heather T and Clare W I love to stroke and admire it!
The flower is scrummy. Enjoy the rest of your day and thank you for all your inspiration yu special lady.
Congratulations to the lucky winners, especially Yvonne.
Pam congratulations on your outing, you so deserve some fresh air and sun on your face, you brave lady. Your brother will open up in time, he will be feeling overwhelmed at sharing his innermost feelings, you will be his rock and special shoulder to cry on, love and gentle hugs to you all especially Robbie.
Janet Echo, Mr E had been through the mill, divorce, beating, I love your Yorkshire sense of humour.
Steph you made me smile today, you are so brave and inspirational, you will beat the ink pads and scream away. Do you drink your tea as Myra said? you are a treasure and mean a lot to many Wilsonettes on here.
Sandra happy holidays, sorry that you did not sleep last night, take care and give our love to Cameeli, glad she is enjoying her trip, can't wait to hear all about it.
TOB Teresa you did so well, keep persevering, you brave lady, gentle hugs.
Ita hope the hospital can sort you out this time, gentle hugs.
Meg O gentle hugs to you and baby Leo.
Nanna Tina keep Max in your heart and remember the special times you had with him, he is never far away.
Daily hugs to Tine E, Margaret corgi owner, Norah and wee Rory, Lynne M, Lynda B, Jean D, Myra P, Maureen K, Wheely bad, Mrs B, Tandy, Tres, Heather T, P in Wales, Janet Echo, Sandra and of course our Sue.

Very pretty border and the Rose is gorgeous out of the print paper. Congrats to the winners...Wow there sure are a lot of winnings on this blog that I am unaware of. Those Micro beads look so pretty, might have to check into those and give some a try.

Hi Sue
I love this card, I like darker tones anyway. I have so many favourite colours I tend to change each day as to what my favourite is. "Is it a purple day or a blue day, a black day or a pink day?" I *have* to find this stamp, it's a style I really like. I should also try making my flowers out of patterned paper. I don't remember this die either but I really, really like it. I shall be doing some research later. I also really must get some micro beads.
Steph you have made me giggle today, especially coming out as a paper stroker! The Theresa Collins paper is gorgeous but I have to use up some of the other 12x12 pads I have first. It's one of the reasons I faff so much, I spend more time cooing at nice papers than using them!
Hope you get some rest today Sandra. It's been hot down here in Suffolk and I have been sleeping worse than usual, it drains you on top of the pain so you have my sympathy, gentle hugs x
Pam, hugs for your, your brother and Robbie xxx
I have to go now as I got to have a lay down myself. Mr W suggested taking the dog to the pub so if I'm going to have a chance I have to stop here.
Special hugs for all my fellow Wilsonettes. Extra hugs if you're hurting in any way. Big hugs for Sue, for all the lovely ideas she brings us. Sorry I don't have more time
Love and hugs

Afternoon Sue,
Another beautiful card. Amazingly I have all the items used and I shall definitely give it a go to replica it.
Lots of love,
Ivy Ling xx
Helloooo Sue and the Wilsonettes! Ooooo love this card Sue. Love the paper, the frosty garland border, the label four stamp and flower. The flower has always looked gorgeous to me in the musical note paper. It's so classy and stands out beautifully! I can't imagine how many cards you have stashed away!

Hi Sue,
Sorry this one is not for me. I think it's just too dark. I do admire the techniques though! Congratulations to all of the winners.
Steph, pleased you've had a better day and love the fact that you love to stroke paper! Pam, I'm sure your brother will feel better once the jet lag has gone and I'm sure that once he feels that the moment is right to talk about Robbie he will. Give him a big cuddle from all of us - that should cheer him up! Hope everyone is ok today - sending special hugs to those in need of one and love to everyone else. Off to start ironing now - a job I hate! Love Alison xx
Great looking card Sue...
All of your card turned out so nice...
Keep up the good work on your cards...
Well done
Well Sue, what can I say, yet a another beautiful card.

Good Afternoon, Sue.
What a wonderful card to find hiding in your files :). I really adore the flower with musical notes and you are really making me love the use of black. Even if it's just used for a mat it really makes the card 'pop'. Thanks for sharing. x
Lovely card, I love the Theresa Collins brand and follow her blog. She is an inspiration and has so much courage running a business, looking after her family and coping with her husbands illness. To look at her you would think this woman has everything and is always so positive and happy.
Congratulations to all the lucky winners!!!
Ohhh Sue, how I love this card. It is absolutely gorgeous, so glad you took it out of hiding. lol.
HI SUE
HOPE YOUR HAVING A GLORIOUS SUNDAY IN THE SUNSHINE.
WHAT A CARD, LOVE THE MUSIC FLOWER, I NEVER THINK TO DO THEM IN PATTERNED PAPER WHAT A STICK IN THE MUD I AM) BUT THAT LOOKS FAB. MUST GET SOME OF THAT TULLE.LOOKS SO EFFECTIVE. BRILL JOB.

Hi Sue
Really love the backing paper to this card, and the colour scheme is pretty.I love Teresa Collins papers and EB folders.
Pam, You two have a lot to talk about,and when the time is right you will find the strength, you both need this time together. I know you have big shoulders Pam, they might become very soggy, thinking of you both. BIG positive hugs to Robbie. So glad you managed to get out of the house Pam. XX

Fabulous card Sue!! Love the colours. I was wondering if you might be able to show a fee more using your recent die collections? I have just bought most of the french collection and would love some more inspiration :-)
Hello Sue. A stunning card and the rose is lovely. xx

Another lovely card congratulations to all the winners. Pam glad you had a trip out I hope your brother gets some rest and all our good wishes help lift him. Love and hugs to all.
Good evening Sue, love the design of today's card but the dark back ground paper isn't me. Hazel xx
P.S. Pam you must have enjoyed your trip out and getting some fresh air, enjoy having your brother here, give him time and do talk about Robbie it will make it easier for him to start talking. Hazel xx
Hi Sue, yes a lovely card again the colours are great for a male card, & the micro beads give the card an added punch, congratulations to all the winners, take care, crafty hugs vanessa xx
Lovely card as always Sue, nicely beaded as always!
Pam your brother knows when the time is right he can lean on you as you know him better than anyone had ping grown up together, it's hard for all,but keep positive Robbie is still making good progress.
Steph you gave me a chuckle again today, I managed to drop an ink pad today over a nice clean piece of card. Now got to find something to do with it! Not as bad as your three hour card though.
Norah and Lynne hope you are both ok.
Janet how I wish I was a fly on the wall whe you are out and about.
Sandra have a great trip.
Love to all my Wilsonette family, hugs also to Tina, June, tres, TOB, Karen, Alison, Margaret, Myra, Lynda and also to every one I have forgotten as always xx

Hi Sue and everyone,
I just love today's card,I must be the only one who does not have Theresa Collins paper.It would be great to see /use our older Dies,we get new ones all the time,and our older ones sit there( I am talking about me.)
I just love your Dies,as you have designed ,your Dies to mix and match,which is fantastic .
My plan this week,if I can is to put all my dies,on the table,and have a good look at them.
Pam,your brother needs the rest,he is with you,so his brain,knowes he is in safe a safe place,and has given him,to go ahead and sleep.

Hi Sue and everyone! Yesterdays card was simply gorgeous,love snowflakes! Todays card for me is a bit dark but think maybe it would be alright for a man,they are always so difficult to make a card for.
Pam- good to hear of Robbies wiggle toe, have a nice time with your brother.He will talk when he is ready. Steph- I really felt for you with the mishap with inkpad. I have problems too to open and shut the pads without getting ink more on me than actually the stamp itself. Mini inkpads and teardrops works little better but not much so the idea with thin med.gloves wheelybad might help me out :) Any help with squeezing glue and stickle bottles easier? Jean- Iced Snow ,look in to "sunrisecraft" not sure if it's the right one doh. Congrats to all the winners!
Have a goodish night all,
Hugs from me Maria x
Hi Sue,
Can't make my mind up about today's card , I like it but it's quite dark on my I pad. The way you've described it sounds lovely with the micro beads so I would probably change my mind if I saw it in real life , love the rose and the frosty forms border die . Thanks Sue xx hugs xx
Sending crafty hugs to yorkielass, Lynda , and everyone , and congrats to all the winners xx

Hello Sue,
Sorry very late today, it's been one of those days when it has been almost impossible to have a moment to yourself, anyway I'm on track now. (All be it rather late in the day) Today's card is gorgeous, love using Micro Beads, they add so much dimension to your card, love it all.
Take care, goodnight and godless, love Brenda xxx
Pam - So pleased your daughter managed to take you out, it just lovely to have a change of scenery. Hope your brother is ok - he is in a very fragile place and possibly not been able to show his true feelings at home being the MAN of the house, just let him work it through his system, he will come through and be stronger for having this time with you. Love and prayers
Good evening Sue and everyone
Such a lovely card that appears to have lots of texture I love your rose what a lovely idea.
Pam be patient with your brother remember everything comes to he who waits, he will tell you when he is able to I am sure. So pleased you have been able to get out for a little while.
Not long to go Sandra but please don't over do things. I think you will need a crane to lift your suitcase with us all inside hitching a lift!
Congratulations to all the lucky winners enjoy your prizes.
Warm wishes and hugs to all who need them especially Sue, Tina, Yorkielass, Lynda, Lyndsay, Steph and Ita

Hi Sue, this card is just right for me! I love Frosty Forms so much I have 2 sets! I've now got the Justrite birthday stamp set you've used today so I'm going to be able to make a card similar to yours - yay!
Hugs, Belinda. X
Hi Sue
I don't know what to say about your absolutely stunning card .
I for one love the way you have used your considerable tallest to put this masterpiece together
I love those borders very striking
Congratulations to all the winners
Take care Sue.
Love Theresa xx
Hi sue, lovely card, sorry not read all comments today,
Crafty hugs Julie xx
To all you fab lady's
I was given a box with a lot of new stamps, a lot of Christmas ones,
I don't do Christmas cards, so I will give them away, they are some wood mounted dog ones that are new never been used, so I will make a list of what I have and any one can have some,
I will pay the postage my treat
Crafty hugs Julie xxx
Wow. Very striking Sue. X
Gorgeous card today,love the die.
Utterly gorgeous all over! I have the Frosty Forms set, but unbelievably I've never used the border. How daft am I? It's much prettier than I thought and as you've shown it need not be for Christmas. Once again you prove why you have your job and I don't!
LOL.
