ReplyDeleteWow Sue bet you are glad the launch is over and you can step back and take a deep breath. Your new Christmas designs are beautiful and there is something for everyone.

ReplyDeleteToday's card is simply elegant and look forward to watching the video later. Thanks for sharing. Hugs xxx
Hi Sue,

Hi Sue
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful day and a stunning card love the striplet die thank you tracyw
Morning Sue.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much a lovely card and great video, I remember you demoed this one on tv.
Congratulations to Julie. Glad to read June's op went well. Take care all Kitty.
Hello Sue and all
ReplyDeleteFirstly, thank you for the weekends beautiful Christmas release. I think I have decided on the border, corner and tag and the background plus that beautiful poinsettia striplet as the absolute favourites but I will NEED others before Christmas I am sure.
Todays card is in my favourite colours and I will try a pinwheel now that you have made it so easy with your video.
Glad your op went well yesterday June and congratulations Julie, enjoy your card
Muriel x
Hi Sue,
ReplyDeleteI love this card, saw you demo it on TV and have watched the video. And when I see it I think yes, it's easy - but a couple of days later I've forgotten how to do it. Thank you for doing this video so I can look it up again because I love that design. Also got the dies so there's no excuse!
Hugs, Rose
ReplyDeleteCan I add my thanks for a lovely weekend showing the new dies, the decisions are very hard!!
This card, love the colours, is a must!! Will try this effect soon,
Doreen x
Todays card is one of my favourite colour combos
ReplyDeleteOh this is stunning Sue. Love the colours and the design. Another way to use the striplet, they are so veristile. Hazel x
ReplyDeleteWell, Sue, almost a relief to be back to normal, but loved the ride! Don't normally go for the geometric shapes, however this pinwheel looks stunning in the gentler aqua colours, just lovely. Will watch video this evening and an advance thank you for it.
ReplyDeleteJune - wow, nothing better than to see Sue's offerings more clearly, glad the op went well.
Julie - well done on the card win.

Morning Sue. Well just one card today but what a card, it' lovely and the colour's are clean and fresh. Sometime's i will sit and go through some of your video's and this was one of them i watched a couple of week's ago. I had a try at making this one and with the help of your video and yourself explaining everything beautifully i found it quite easy to make. Congrat's to julie on winning your beautiful creation from wednesday. Thank you once again for the last four day's it has been great to see just a few of your stunning card's from your new festive 2015 collection. I had a few favourite's but to be honest they were all beautiful and so my wish list has just gotten bigger. Last year's christmas collection are beautiful but i think you have surpassed yourself this year as i think these one's are stunning.
ReplyDeleteTake care everyone and i hope you all get some of this heatwave that the weather man keep's saying we are going to have. Don't forget the CREAM.
Best Wishes.
Denise T x
Good morning Sue what a stunning card I love the colours and your design is wonderful.

Hi Sue. Lovely card, I've never tried the pinwheel technique before but I might just give it a try now I've seen your video - I like to craft along with your technique videos then I can pause or playback if I'm having problems.

Congratulations to Julie, and pleased that your op went well June. Sue XXX

ReplyDeleteNancyd xx
Good morning Sue,
ReplyDeleteLove this stunning card.
Beautiful colours and design.
I have tried this technique before ...... it is getting the rhythm of placing the "bits" that is the trick!!
Once you get that you are off and running.
Have a great day
Hugs Patricia xxx
Morning Sue
ReplyDeleteThis is very clever and something I will try
I have enjoyed the last few days thank you
Pat x
Oh great joy it's me its me!!!!!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Sue, I've never won one of your cards before. I'm so excited ; )
If I had to choose just two dies for favourites it would be the mini scene and the deer! But I adored all the snowflake dies and all of the rest too.
Thank you once again for your continued generosity and talent Sue.
Glad June's op went well.
Big hugs to all who need one,
Julie E
Good morning Sue

What a pretty card, Sue. I can't wait to watch the video when I get back from my trip into town this morning. I think I'll be trying this out as soon as I watch your demo :). xx
ReplyDeleteGood morning Sue. Today's sentiment is, I'm sure, one a lot of us feel fits you after that great die launch!
ReplyDeleteI love the soft contrasting colours and subtle 'bling' frame of this design, gorgeous! Looking forward to watching the video when I get in from work tonight.x
Beautiful card today,love the pinwheel.
ReplyDeleteAs to your Christmas dies love them all and can't pick a favourite,it's impossible.
What a fantastic design! I must watch the video tutorial to see how you created this card. Debra x
ReplyDeleteMorning Sue
ReplyDeleteAfter the last few hectic days it's nice to get back to being with you and your craft room.
Today's gift is just beautiful. Your colour palette is just right and fits perfectly with those little squares.
I can see so many occasions to use today's design. Childrens gifts by adding a stick to a little smaller wheel for one.
It's already hot here so it looks like another day inside with shutters pulled to.
To all in pain and suffering today I hope your day gets better. To everyone please take care and stay safe. See you tomorrow.
Janet x
Love this card and the technique. It could be so useful for the dreaded mens' cards too. Thank you
ReplyDeleteMaggie B xx

ReplyDeleteBrilliant card, really enjoyed the video. xx
ReplyDeleteHi, Sue...I loved the die reveals over the last few days......but have to say I'm not ready for Christmas yet! Today's card is so pretty, I will watch the video later. Jo xxx
ReplyDeleteHi Sue
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely idea to use the small squares, its so pretty. Thank you for the last few days, favorites oh yes just a few lol. Ideas are now bouncing around my head
Love Jan x x
Loved the Christmas dies. My favourite was the dove, but they're all lovely. This is a great card and could be used for a man as it's not too fussy.
ReplyDeleteHi Sue and Wilsonettes
ReplyDeleteHave seen this fantastic technique of yours before Sue but it was great to have my memory refreshed watching this video...but one thing I shall always remember is using the glue dots to position the squares...I purchased them straight away to ensure they were in my stash...another great technique is taping the edges of card and giving them a cosmic makeover, instead of the waste doing the whole card...the fun part is getting the tape perfectly to the edge...lol
Anyways Sue, Thank you for sharing this charming card and video...I loved the Aqua colours, the whole design of this card and as always great to see the popular and much loved Noble has snuck its way in there aswel. this card would be perfect for a male recipient but perfect lightly dressed for females.
If I had to choose from the whole of the amazing Christmas launch? Snowflake Background, Striplet and Border; Corner & Tag (all as one...lol...) Poinsettia & Striplet (yet again as one)and Angel and Dove as one...lol...Sentiments...ooops had to stop myself there...how can I choose a favourite Sue when all the dies were stupendous and the recipients of my cards all have different tastes.
Because of the excitement of the launch and how busy with reading all the lovely comments for each part of your hard work and dedication I had forgotten the Wednesday week giveaway was drawn today....Congratulations on being the chosen winner JULIE...really happy for you.
JUNE...great to see that everything went okay with your op and you are back with us
(((((hugs)))) to you x x x
Take care today to You Sue and to all the lovely Wilsonettes, (((hugs))) and Smiles to you...love from Beth B x x x
Good morning Sue
ReplyDeleteNormally I can't choose a favourite because it would be like choosing a favourite child, but this launch my definite favourites are the deer and trees. If I was totally honest I loved them all and in my opinion your best launch, hopefully I will get to play with my new dies later today fingers crossed.
Thank you for the video you make it so easy for us to follow, I love the card and the colours you've used.
June that was good news about your op x
Congratulations Julie on winning a card
Hugs x

Morning Sue, I love this pinwheel card. I made one for my granddaughters birthday ans she loved it. Being a young. Rafter herself (8) she was quite interested in how it was done. Now I can show her the video. Thank you so much for the wonderful die launch, I keep thinking I have a favourite and then change my mind to another die. They are all so brilliant it is too hard to choose.
ReplyDeleteLove Rosemarie xx
Good morning Sue,
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful card, the striplet die is lovely & very versatile,
Thank you for all your hard work over the weekend

ReplyDeleteMorning Sue, Congratulations to Julie.
ReplyDeleteA lovely styled card today, as always.
I have absolutely loved all your cards and new festive dies, we have been thrilled to see your new collections and cards. I love all the new dies but my ABSOLUTE favourites are the deer family and the textured trees, I absolutely adore the beautiful scenes that can be created with these two sets.
Lots of love from Patricia xx
Morning Sue, Beautiful card, I have many favourites but the Mini Background has to be top of the list for me, it's going to be great for making flatter cards for posting this year, but still look very special. It will be great for decoupage too!. The Angel and Dove are beautiful
ReplyDeleteso I am torn between the three. I don't usually start Christmas cards this early but can't stop playing with these. Thank you again!
Congratulations to Julie for winning a card!
To JUNE SMITH so glad to read your Op went well, Take care,

ReplyDeleteLove the look of the pinwheel and your tips on setting out the squares make it look easy. Thank you Sue.Xx
ReplyDeleteLovely fresh and interesting looking card, I find the video keeps sticking so I will try it again later.
ReplyDeleteI think my favourite die is the Christmas Scene as it seems it could be quite versatile and suitable for everyone on my C card list, also quick to make and eye catching ! What more could you ask for!
So glad your op went well yesterday June, I bet you're relieved and happy it's over !
Congratulations to Julie enjoy your card!

A very bright, refreshing card for today. Love the turquoise colour. I have been cutting up the squares for different effects so now I must go & try this with the video to guide me. Thank you Sue
ReplyDeleteHi Sue , another beautiful card so many wonderful ideas. Loved all the Christmas dies but would recommend the trees to anyone so realistic best tree dies I have. Will be ordering more later in the week but will wait til Friday, just in case fingers crossed
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed your Xmas dies launch but it is also nice to get back to routine again. the video was great and the card is beautiful. Thank you Sue. Congratulations Julie.
ReplyDeleteYour Christmas collection is to die for - get it! Congratulations, you should feel extremely proud of yourself
ReplyDeleteI saw today's card at Ally Pally on your stand and prompted me to buy the Quilted Block Striplet now I've seen the video I must have a try - now where are those glue dots
Good technique for a pretty card.
ReplyDeleteI really enjoy making pinwheel cards, thank you for introducing me to the idea. Today's example is very fresh and clean looking.

It's a lovely delicate card today, the pinwheeel is so effective.
Congratulations to Julie.
Love Maureen xxx
Hi Sue - I loved this card when I saw it, but haven't tried the technique yet, but the video explains it perfectly. It would be really useful to make some squares in advance in different colour combinations and have them ready to use when needed. I loved your Christmas die launch and it's difficult to pick a favourite as I liked so many of them, but I have to say I loved the Christmas tree word, followed closely by so many others! Thank you for all your time and effort and I'm looking forward to seeing more samples in due course. Best wishes
ReplyDeleteYvonneMayxx
Good morning Sue
ReplyDeleteWhat a fantastic few days you have given each and everyone of us showing us your fantastic talent so generous as only you can be, thank you so much.

Margaret xxx
Hi Sue
ReplyDeleteGreat video, haven't seen this technique before and am going to have a go at this later on a birthday card for my niece.
Love the aqua colour too.
Really enjoyed seeing the cards made with your new Christmas dies. Have many favourites but think the trees was number one as it would also be useful all year round. Must get some iced snow soon too. Thank you for all your hard work and sharing all your lovely techniques with us all.
Congratulations to Julie, enjoy your card. x
Such a beautiful card
ReplyDeletethank you
Hi Sue.
ReplyDeleteI just loved all the Christmas dies.
This card is so pretty and cool looking.
I just love it and will give it a go.
Regards,

Lovely card Sue, looks quite complicated, but the video really helps to show that it is easily achievable, would be good for a male card if done with different colours.
ReplyDeleteLynne x
Hi Sue
ReplyDeleteWell I to have a lot of favs so hard to pick I must also get some iced snow I love it this card looks so difficult to make looks effective though I like the colours to I will watch later on as on my way to the hospital to see my grand daughter
take care Sue n all the crafty crew
hugs Sarah xxx
Good morning Sue,
ReplyDeletea great technique...
If I´m right you showed this before???
The card is wonderful.
I ordered my favorite of the Christmas dies already but I think there are more "must haves"...
Rolf xxx
Hi Sue, a gorgeous card, pretty much all die made so we can all make a version that will look good. X Ros
ReplyDeleteHi Sue. Before I forget, June, Im so pleased to read all went well for you yesterday, and congrats to Julie on being chosen for one of Sue's W. O. W's - enjoy.
ReplyDeleteI cannot even start to pick a favourite from the new festive collection as doing what I do, each a everyone would help me along the hard route of making so many Christmas cards in prep for the market, but I do personally think that a few can be used all year round so they will be the first I invest in, and they are an investment and its not until you have a tidy up and organise dies into floral, foliage, backgrounds etc do you realise how many 100's of pounds worth you have - right Barbie lol but this collection is the best festive release you have done in my opinion, and you should be very proud of yourself.
I love todays pinwheel card, I remember it being shown on your POTD and also that beautiful striplet makes for the most pretty background, you have also used my favourite aqua card which I adore : )
I will leave you with many well done hugs for all you have given us over the past few days, and hope when you have come down off your cloud you reach your destination safely.
Lancashire Steph xxx
All calm down now from the last couple of days :-) nice card, will wAtch video later with my feet up. Take care, Ivy xx

Kathy
Hi Sue,
ReplyDeleteThis looks lovely - I'll have to watch the video later though. Hope you have recovered from the last few days.
Beverley W
Good Morning, Sue
ReplyDeleteLovely card today in such a pretty colour. I am really looking forward to watching the video later and then trying out this technique!
As regards favourites, it is so hard to choose. The initial ones I chose were the Poinsettia Striplet, Santa's Sleigh and Snowflake Background
But since watching the release I have added to my list the Trees, the background with Santa flying over the town and of course the Deer
However, to be perfectly honest, I love them all, but I know I can't have them all!!!!
Thankyou so much again for our exciting few days and like other Wilsonettes am keeping my fingers crossed to be lucky in the Draw!!
Lesley S x
Hi Sue

Hi Sue, I love this card and made my version of it after seeing you demo it on TV.
ReplyDeleteFavourites? - it has to be all of the striplets and the dove, closely followed by all the other snowflakes.
June S - so glad the op went well and it can only benefit your crafting :-)
Julie E - congratulations on being the Wednesday winner.
I don't need sunscreen here today as I awoke to rain! It seems to be clearing up now and I am hopeful of getting the washing on the line, fingers crossed. Have a good day everyone.

ReplyDeleteAhh, back to normality again I am afraid- I will mis having multiple cards each day but how nice to have a demo instead. This card looks intriguing, I cannot wait to watch it later on because it looks so effective, love the soft blue colour scheme too.
I refuse to pick favourites from your launch, it just isn't possible, so I am just going to get them all bit by bit if I can.....but where to begin!
The weather is predictably dull and drizzly here in Stirling#what no heatwave! I had my bikini and sunscreen on standby since Sunday but to no avail, I will just have to make do with watching everyone bake at Wimbledon instead I guess. Hope the sun is shining wherever you are, though it is a distraction from serious crafting, at least that's what I keep telling myself!
Congrats to Julie E on her win, I hope you have a suitable spot to hang your prize, I know I do if I am ever lucky enough:-)
June, so glad to hear that you are recovering well, take it easy though, these things take time and your eyesight is so preciousxxx
Love and crafty hugs,

Hi Sue, I have seen this technique of your pinwheel before but it's great to have the video to watch your card looks fantastic. Now as for the new festive dies how to pick a favourite, well I think mine would he to be the corner boarder tag, snowflake background an the seasons greetings but if I look at them altogether I would find it hard to jut pick them 3 they are lol fabulous. Take Care Melody xxxXxxx

Hi Sue and Wilsonettes - HELP! I have suddenly started receiving e-mail notifications of all the comments on this post, including my own. I am not aware of having done anything to make this happen and don't know where to start looking. Please can anyone help me as I certainly don't want to start having to delete hundreds of e-mails every day. Thanks in anticipation.

Hi Sue,
ReplyDeleteI remember seeing this card before and it's lovely to actually have the video. It's a very pretty card but also a versatile one.
As for choosing a favourite Christmas Die , that's a bit impossible. If I had to choose only two - one is too hard, it would be the scene and a Striplet! I don't have anything like either of them so that's how I decided.
I do hope they all sell out Sue! They ought to as they are so lovely.
June - really pleased you have a good result from your operation.
Julie - congratulations , enjoy your lovely card.
Love Myra xxx
Hi Sue

Lovely card Sue. Just watched the video. I don't have the Striplet so might try it with the centre part of the New York Times Square. My aunt passed away this morning so I must away and make a Sympathy card.
ReplyDeleteHi Sue,
ReplyDeleteEnjoyed your video very much, the glue dot tip is extremely useful, I wouldn't have thought of it in a million years.
Love the pinwheel card you have made using the Striplet die.
As to favourites from your Christmas Launch, I think mine would be the Christmas Tree Greetings, mainly because I fell deeply for the card you showcased it with. However, the snowflake background, the corner border tag, and the Striplets are firmly in my basket for when I get home from holiday.
FLUFFY-CAT, the only thing I can think of is that you have somehow subscribed to all the comments. If you look on the home page at the right hand side and scroll down you will come to a little heading entitled " subscribe to Particraft Ltd" and underneath there are two drop
down boxes with the options "posts" and "all comments" maybe you have inadvertently clicked the subscribe to all comments box.
If that is the case, you should be able to unsubscribe from the emails in the email itself. If that doesn't work try going into your Google account, maybe there is something there to "unsubscribe"
Hope that helps.
June, so glad you op went well and you are able to read again.
Julie, congratulations, enjoy your card.
Love Saba
Littlelamb,
ReplyDeleteI don't think Sue will mind if I comment again, We posted at the same time and I had not seen your comment.
I am so very sorry my dear friend. Hope it brings some comfort to you to know she is no longer suffering. Sending you comforting hugs and will be keeping you in my Prayers
Love Saba xxx
Your sentiment says it all Sue; you really are amazing the way in which you come up with all these wonderful ideas. I haven't got this particular striplet but will be looking at mine in a different way now. Love the card and the aqua colour with white. As regards your new Christmas dies i can't really say which is my favourite as there are so many but the angel is my first buy followed by the striplet scene/ Christmas tree/etc etc. Hugs xx Pauline A
ReplyDeleteThis is so pretty, love the sentiment...have tried this idea several times, love it....luv Ursula xx
ReplyDeleteHello Sue and all.
ReplyDeleteI think this is such a great card and with a few tweeks would make a stunning male card. I love the tonal effect, very nice. Thanks for sharing.
Congratulations to Julie Elli.
Best wishes.
Hi Sue
ReplyDeleteI will watch the video later because this technique makes such a lovely card.
This card is so pretty and I love these soft colours but I can imagine if you change the colours you could really change the 'mood of the card for either male or female.
Well done Julie on your win - enjoy.

Your launch was amazing! You are a very-hard-to-keep-up-with lady!!!! Would like to meet you one day (you never know - 'it' might rub off on me). Love this card very much and could definitely see myself giving the technique a go. It's fantastic with the die-cuts and I reckon it can be done in all sorts of different ways. I'm going straight to the video NOW!
ReplyDeleteSue back to normality today eh! However not with the delicous card , you have done it again. On a day like today your card has such cooling colours and your pinwheel can be used with so many colours and maybe you never know the idea could be stretched even further.! Enjoy our Florida weather ! Hugs Maureen(MEM) B.
ReplyDeleteI think the effect is great simple and elegant. The colours are very cooling in todays heat. Jxxx
ReplyDeleteVery pretty card...love the color that you used....thanks for the video
ReplyDeleteWell done Sue
Hi sue, well I can't just pick one or two of your cards,
ReplyDeleteI just can't do it,
because everyone of them were different and everyone I loved so sorry,
I would love to receive any one of them cards,
It would be framed and brought out year after year sue
beautiful sue, just beautiful, crafty hugs Julie xxx
Helloooo Sue and the Wilsonettes! Great video Sue x This technique looks hard but you have made it look so easy and it looks fantastic! Loving the light and dark shade of aqua colour you have used. Plus, the ever gorgeous Iced Snow AND the wonderful sentiment which befits you and all you do for us! Loving the striplet too and the embossing folder x "Thank you". oooooo I've just imagined an orange and yellow theme.....! Oooooo now then, how long have you got for a favourite...lol! My first and foremost has to be the snowflake border, corner and tag set.....then there's Dove of Peace, Christmas Angel, Peace on Earth, mini snowflake striplet, The Wise Men, snowflake background, Christmas tree greeting....I think I'd better stop......lol! Just to say "thank you Sue" for this opportunity, for all your hard work for making this the best blog ever! Sending love and hugs to you, your mom and to your family. Love and hugs too to all the Wilsonettes who are in need xx Congratulations Julie! Wonderful! Wait until you see it in real life....wow! xx Just to say good luck everyone!

ReplyDeleteSo beautiful! Just loving the colors!
ReplyDeleteWhat a stunning card! I love pinwheels and the colors are so soft and pretty!! TFS!
ReplyDeleteHello Sue. So lovely to see this soft fresh card today. The pinwheel design is always a winner and that choice of card is delightful. xx Maggie (better without a bow)
ReplyDeleteHi Sue,
ReplyDeleteLove the colours of this card. First time I have seen a pinwheel design done on video, and you make it look so easy.
I have the Striplet you show, so I am going to have a go. I have MS and no feeling in my fingertips, but with time and your video I am going to give it a go. I also love the colour you use, and it is just lovely.
Thank you once again for all the inspiration you have given me since I joined this group earlier this year.
TFS Love n hugs Dorothy Macdonald
ps Congratulations to Julie x
Hi Sue
ReplyDeleteI love your pinwheels but have not yet attemped one. I love how the squares are carried on through the embossing folder, the aqua cardstock is very pretty and it's set off so beautifully by the sparkly border. Will put this video on my watch list ready for when I try one. Agree it could be made more masculine if required too.
Christmas dies... wow! A favourite? Favourites... snowflake- border corner tag, background, letterpress, stacking snowflakes, snowflake and poinsettia striplets= 6 very favourite must have needs. We didn't see the lovely stamps that go with them and I need pretty much all of those too! Fun part is deciding what I really need and in what order- agony! Still haven't got the latest nobel dies and the two other backgrounds I like! You did a great job Sue, you must've worked so hard to get all those posts out! Thank you for all the effort you put in every day with your blog posts for us- but especially during launches! Hope you'll have a little rest now x
June, delighted your eye op went well, hugs xxx
Littlelamb my deepest condolences for your loss, hugs xxx
Julie Eli congratulations, enjoy your Sue Wilson work of art, hugs xxx
Tired & sore but happy. Did a few phone calls that were on the list. A rest now before aMr W is home from work. Billy not doing much, it's too hot for him so my priority is keeping the house as cool as possible for him.
Hot today so please make sure you all stay hydrated and either cover up or use sunscreen if out for any legnth of time, hugs to all Wilsonettes wherever you are in the world, extra hugs if you need them. Have a happy, crafty evening and see you all tomorrow.

ReplyDeleteHi Sue and crafty ladies
ReplyDeletewell the last few days have been a bit of a blur. Thank you Sue for sharing all your wonderful ideas for your new Christmas dies. The Wise Men, Dove and Angel are top of my list together with the Peace on Earth sentiment and Christmas Tree Greeting. I love ALL the snowflake dies too, and the deer, and the mini scene with Santa. Oh no, I think I need them all lol.
Congratulations on your win Julie, after the last few days I just had to check back to see which card you'd won, lovely.
Glad to hear your op went well June, wishing you a full and speedy recovery.
Sarah, hope your granddaughter is ok.
Littlelamb, so sorry to hear about your aunt. Sending hugs.
Saba - hope your enjoying your holiday.
I've found it a bit hard to keep up with everything with so many posts going on the blog over the last few days so I do apologise if I'm not quite up to date with everyone.
Sending love and blessings - Deb C xx
PS. If you fancy having a few more cards to look at, I have just started "pinning" and have put the ones I have made myself on Pinterest - if you search for Deb Curtis and chose the one with the same picture as my comment on the blog, it says debcurtis1 underneath the picture xx
Hi Sue
ReplyDeleteI bit your quite glad that your Marathon is over. Todays card is lovely and i'll be looking at the video later. I'll be keeping my fingers crossed as usual. Wish I could afford them all but I'm afraid I can't. I have a couple of favourites so they'll be on the top of my list. Won't be long to Ally Pally Sue, I can't believe how soon the shows come around.
This is beautiful like the colors
ReplyDeleteLove the clean lines of this one xxx
ReplyDeleteHi Sue and all
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry, I got so carried away with Christmas that I forgot to mention how beautiful todays card is, love the colours and think I'll try this with my New York dies, great for the guys too.

ReplyDeleteGood evening Sue and the fabulous Wilsonettes ,
ReplyDeleteLovely colours again today Sue making an exquisite card that is so pretty and so clever in its construction. I had a ball over the weekend commenting as when I could but I don't know how you got on Sue making them all as well as blogging about the beauty that you brought out each one more beautiful than the last. Sue trying to pick out my favourites is nigh near impossible as all were amazing and all would so mix and match with last years which is just as well when pennies are going faster than coming
Conragulations to Julie on winning last weeks cracker and I am so glad that you have finally got one of our very one superstars WOW which I think each and every one of Sues masterpieces are.
June flower, I am so glad that you are feeling the benefits so quickly after surgery and can only hope that all is definitely onwards and upwards for you dear lady.
Sending hugs to all my beautiful Wilsonettes Angels(you all know who you are) who make such a difference every day to me but sending them out to my lovely Angels that are not too good the now as well
Love and crafty hugs
