Such a beautiful card. I love it.
Congratulations to Suzette, enjoy your win.
Tracey and Dad, big hugs, hope the meeting yesterday gave a clearer picture for you.
Elaine, hope Andrew is feeling more settled, he is doing so well.
Tina and Mick, any news on the homecoming front, Mick well be champing at the bit to get out of hospital.
Lorraine, if I could get a crafty retreat with Sue, I would have chosen Anne Marie too, I so admire her work, it is stunning and unusual too, enjoy.
Have a great weekend everyone, I have to rest, I was sent home from work yesterday following a blip with my heart, I'm okay though.
Sorry I meant if I could not get a retreat with Sue, would always be my 1st choice.
Morning Sue and crafters all,
Beautiful card , brightens up a very damp morning.
Lovely die and the colourway that you have used is fantastic.
Happy weekend!!
Love and crafty hugs

GM Sue. Such a pretty card and the cupcake is so cute. I will watch the video later. Happy weekend all.
Morning Sue. This card has always bought a smile to my face each time I've seen it, the frilly lace effect with the central focal point really does make this card special. A card for that long standing special friend that knows every inch of us.

Hope you have a lovely day Sue, sending hugs as usual xx
Morning Sue and all Wilsonettes, oh I like this card today Sue, elegant is the right word for it, a real regal card made by the queen of cards our very own Sue. I will watch the video later but I am so pleased I purchased this die a while ago.
Well done Suzette, enjoy your prize.
Tina, hope Mick continues to improves, he will be home soon I am sure.
Tracey and Dad, in my thought, hope things are clearer for you both.
Elaine I hope Andrew continues doing well.
Pam and Lorraine, what is this about if only there was a crafty retreat with Sue, Wow now wouldn't that be something, count me in for that one if it ever comes off.
Pam please take care, I know you say that you are OK but this is the way our bodies tell us that we are doing too much, so have a restful weekend.
Stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx

Another beauty of a card , loving the design and the colors chosen , i will watch your Video later with a nice cup of coffee.

Good Morning, Sue,
Yes...shock, horror...I've actually managed to read today's blog before noon for a change lol. First of all, congratulations to Suzette, you're going to LOVE your card when it arrives.
Today's card is just beyond beautiful, Sue. As I'm so early today I'm off to watch the video right away.
It's a funny old morning down here in east Cornwall, very muggy with a dark grey sky. Personally, I would be happy to have a real storm any time now. It would clear the air, get rid of my 'thunder headache' and water my garden, where the soil has turned into concrete due to all the hot weather we've had just lately. Right...off to YouTube. Happy weekend everyone.

Good morning Sue and the Wilsonettes,
oh this is so pretty Sue this beautiful white & pink perfection. The diamond snow just added that like bit of magic to the top of that beautiful little cupcake. I think that i would get that happy birthday set of dies just for that tiny little piece of wonder, it is so cute. The coconut white having that hint of winter snow colour about it is so lovely and soft against the soft pink and each so compliments the other. Thank you Sue for such a pretty card to wake up to on a Saturday morning, have a good day flower what ever you are doing.
Congratulations Suzette on wining this weeks WOW card, just wait until you see it at home flower as there is not a feeling like it when it arrives.
Pam flower, please rest this weekend as absolutely nothing should get done flower. You say a blip, we say that is you getting a warning that you are doing too much and that you need some rest and relaxation. Please flower, try to be good this weekend as we can do without your little blip turning into something more and you ending up in hospital. Honest the food is not that great or appetitising, more send you to a stravation diet than anything else and anyway the nurses are needed for the really ill and there is a storage of beds and they're not comfy with their plastic sheets underneath you, they just make you sweat, :) So please take it easy dear friend and be good. x
Well today is Harry's birthday party at his Gran and Grandads house as they will be away on his birthday on Thursday. I think it is more a party for the grown ups instead of for him and all his little friends. I just hope we don't have 6 babies crying all at the same time as there is him, his 3 girlfriends, his little pal Noah, his "cousin" Mason, and Ryans'(his daddy) 3 younger cousins who are all at high school and then 40 adults. Better them than me as our wee house and garden just wouldn't take that amount of people plus all the cooking and cleaning up after although the cleaning up i will help with as that's not fair to leave his gran Marie to do all that. His grandad, he thinks he is the barbeque king so you don't even try to intervere and offer a helping hand as he knows better how these things are done, hmmm i wonder.
So i will leave you all with hugs to Tracy & Dad, Nanna Tina & Mick, Elaine & her boy Andrew, and to anyone else that is going through a hard time the now that needs, wants or could just be doing with some,
Love and crafty hugs

Hello Sue
Gorgeous card, so pretty. The cupcake is adorably cute and the petticote effect just lovely. Great idea about using part of the background die to make a strip across the card too. Thank you for even more inspiration.
Congratulations to Suzette on the card win. You will love it I'm sure.

Hi Sue, it is indeed an elegant card and for anyone who is celebrating today including HM Queen Elizabeth, then I am sure it will be received with much pleasure. I love the petticoat and the sparkle frosting on the cake.
Pam - I hope it was just a blip and that you really are resting this week-end.
Suzette - Congratulations on being the Wednesday Winner, enjoy your beautiful card.
Frances
So pretty....I wonder if all your followers know what a petticoat is....I haven't heard that word in a long time...my dear, sweet Mom used to make our petticoats back in the stone age....the fuller, the better. My Mom was quite the seamstress. We would twirl around the house showing off our full skirts. LOL Thanks for bringing back a fond memory while, at the same time, showing us a beautiful card.
Congrats to the winner!!!

Hello Sue,
It's a bit wet here today but the garden did need some rain!
Another lovely card and the icing on the cup cake almost looks edible! A really pretty birthday card. Thank you!
Pam - sorry to hear you were sent home from work unwell - please rest so that the blip remains a blip!!! Sending hugs to you my dear! X
Congratulations to Suzette!
Love to all, Myra xx
I love this cards. The colors are so pretty.
I wish we could get your card stock in the US.
I have these dies, I just need your paper!!!
Such a pretty card today Sue and the cupcake is so cute with its sparkly frosting.
Pam go steady my dear. A Sue retreat would sell out so quickly wouldn't it.
I have had a headache for the past two days and don't know if it's the weather or my slight change in tablets.
I rubbed an ink pad over the piece of card I had embossed with rose blooms. It looked great but my ink pad disintegrated. Not a ce one of course.
Sending love n hugs to all xxx
Simply gorgeous!
Regal, lovely and oh so sweet!! Soft colors and the adorable cupcake with sparkly frosting is just delicious!!
Congratulations Suzette on having a Sue Wilson Original on it's way to you! Have a great weekend everyone! I plan to cloister myself in my Craft Oasis and not come out till granddaughter comes back home Sunday night! Toodles!
Hi Sue,
Beautiful card!
Thank you for sharing.

Hi Sue, A really pretty petticoat card today, it is so pretty ans elegant. I hope e ery one has a peaceful weekend.
Love Rosemarie x X
woow... it's beautiful! :)
Hi Sue
What a gorgeous card. I know I have said it before but don't think it hurts to say it again, I love the perspective dies. So versatile.
This card is so pretty and summery. I don't know anyone who would not like to receive this and although in pink it is really girly in a different colour it could be a masculine masterpiece x
Congratulations Suzette you lucky thing x
Not been on the blog for a couple of days. I had been doing really well and feeling great then on Thursday morning I woke up feeling really knackered and had to just chill, being bored and hope that it was just a minor setback. Feeling a lot better today but still taking things easy.
I suspect that the effort of having to be nice to Lorraine when we Skyped just proved too much. It's hard work when someone is so desperate to be your friend and wants you to like them. I know how unstable she can be so at present will just play along with her fantasy of believing that someone like me would want to be associated with a commoner like her. She really has got delusions of grandeur x
ANNIE - you must be so excited for that first glimpse of your granddaughter. How wonderful x
LAINE - please don't question my integrity. I know you are desperate to knock me off the top spot but you really need to accept that - well not in a million years. Did you not realise that the piles of washing and deliberate mess were a ploy to put you off coming to visit. When I took pity on you by extending (an insincere) invitation to come and stay my heart sunk when you said yes. I really don't know if I can handle putting up with you in person. It's stressful enough having to prepare myself for the stress of communicating with you by phone x
PAM - make sure you rest. Hugs x
TRACY - sending you hugs x
ELAINE - hugs for you as well x
TINA - sending hugs your way x
Got a couple of Sue's videos to watch which I have saved for later. Football is not my thing so Sue's videos and casualty are my viewing choice for this evening.
Take care everyone. Sending you all love and happy thoughts
