Lovely card Sue, that subtle hint of colour really enhances the beauty.have a great weekend.
Congratulations lucky DeeDee, you have won a stunner.
Sam welcome back, lovely to see your post, so glad you had a wonderful holiday.
Elaine, I wish Andrews results had been better, your sons attitude is a lesson to us all. He is wonderful. Your final part of the message made me cry, it was so beautiful and you have every right to be so proud of him. Big hugs to hold you tight.
Crewe Trish, I feel for you and your Mum, no parent expects to see their children go before them. My mum was 42 and my Gran was 76, she never got over it. Bless you both.
June, hope the M25 journey wasn't too bad for you. Big hug my friend, sorry about your Aunt.
P, so lovely that everyone paid their respects, bet the Welsh singing was amazing, I too love to listen to it.
Maureen, now I can picture you as Miss Haversham, but what on earth are you doing, dusting I can understand but hoovering is too heavy for you especially without your walking support. Behave yourself woman.
Yvonne, hope the parents are having a good time, take care of yourself, this latest episode sounds like a bad one. Hope dad has a lovely birthday tomorrow.
Hugs to all, especially our poorly and missing friends, miss you all.
Morning Sue.
A lovely card Thank you.
Congratulations to DeeDee.
Take care and have fun Kitty.
Hello Sue, a beautiful card, love the sparkle, and as you say a great way to use up scraps. Great video. Well done Deedee. Have a great day everyone. Bx
LOvely card Sue x xhazel
Such a gorgeous card. Congratulations DeeDee.
GM Sue. Fab card. Love the flowers. Happy weekend.
Morning Sue. Just what is needed on this wet grey and cold morning, a lovely delicate sparkling sample. I will admit that the packaging of the vase didn't excite my craft buds but you yourself have in the past told us this very thing, that the die is so much nicer once you've actually seen it properly, so although I don't own it, it's definitely on the list, I try to keep the least expensive as gift ideas and when I can treat myself to dies that are slightly more. I love how it looks I love how it can be used and I'm looking forward to watching your inspiration, I'm also looking forward to owning both the vase and the Queen Anne's Lace. Again, I shall repeat myself in saying I've seen the most beautiful cards made by those that love your dies and I hope to be one of those soon.
Congratulations to DeeDee on your Wednesday win enjoy your special gift.
Sending love n hugs to you Sue and hope your day is a lovely day xxx
Good morning Sue. Gorgeous card, especially love the background and the hint of sparkle.
Elaine, sorry that Andrew's results were not what you had hoped for but his attitude is inspirational and your final comment very moving. Maureen, take it easy!
Will echo the rest of Pam's comments as this flippin weather is not good for my arthritis and I have bunches of bananas where my fingers should be! Hugs to all. Sue xxx
Beautiful card. Love the flowers

Cocgratulations to dee dee xxx
Morning Sue. WOW This is a stunning card with just that hint of bling around the edges. The different shades of card look lovely and we all have bits a pieces in our bit boxes. I can see this card made in many colour ways. The Queen Anne Lace flowers and the Hobnail Vase are both gorgeous. I recorded Phil Martins shows a couple of weeks ago when your new frames and tags were the one day special which sold out and he did a couple of demos with your new flower dies as well and they were fantastic. Congratulations to DeeDee on winning Wednesdays fab card. Great video. Have a lovely weekend everyone.
Best Wishes.
Denise T x
Morning Sue, This card is gorgeous, I'm loving the vase of flowers, and the pretty 'bling'.
Congratulations to DeeDee.
Lots of love from Patricia xx
Lovely video. It's so nice to watch the confidence you have when placing your strips of card onto the sticky sheet, my hands would be shaking, and I swear my eyes are uneven lol cuz I'd have to keep hoping I'd not placed the strips down too firm as I know my straight lines are so very different to your straight lines lol !! Scraps of card ? Try 3 full large containers to choose from lol xx
Morning Sue and all Wilsonettes, a beautiful card today and the Queen Anne's lace works so well in the ornate vase, really like this one.
Pam I reiterate all you have said above, I went back and saw Elaine's comments yesterday and also loved the last comment, what a wonderful thing to say. Special hugs to you Elaine, Andrew and Helen xx
Well the M25 yesterday was horrendous as always, it rained very hard too for a little while which didn't help, but cleared up for the funeral, I was told it was at 12:30 we got there an hour early only to find that it was 1:30 so had to wait in the waiting room for 2 hours, it was extremely sad to say a farewell to the last of my Mum's sisters, she was such a lovey lady, she was 91. Met lot's of distant relatives for the first time too, so spent a good few hours reminiscing with them, then had another nightmare journey home, altogether was traveling for over 6 hours, I was exhausted and in a lot of pain from my back through standing and walking, ouch, so went to bed at 8:30, woke a couple of times in the night and finally work at 6:30 this morning, still in some pain but feeling much better.
Off to a little craft market this morning with my friend Gill, then hope to come back for some relaxing time with hubby.
Oh nearly forgot congratulations to Deedee, you are in for a treat when you get your cardxx
Stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx
I just love the vase and flowers... gorgeous card! The vase looks like one I have that was my Mom's.
Great card Sue.

Good morning Sue,
Absolutely stunning card & as you say a great way to use up scraps. Congratulations to DeeDee7770. Yvonne xx
Lovely card, Sue, like that background. Have enough scraps of card to make zillions of these! Our Queen Anne's Lace has faded, so time for the big chop of the drive - pity as they are so pretty when in bloom. Thanks as ever for the video.
Saba & friends, Mr P's talents almost limitless!! With or without rope.
Maureen, great that you're now 'mobile' again. Watch out, Newcastle.
Echoing Pam's nice words.
Pleased for Deedee on the card win.

Wow gorgeous card today Sue just love these flowers and you made it so easy to follow. Thanks, have a great day, hugs xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
I have just bought the Queen Anne's Lace die (well, as a lacemaker I had to have them!) so this has given me a lovely idea on how to use them.
Anne (Northampton)
Hi Sue
What a beautiful card today, such a pretty fine that deserves to have its moment of glory as it could so easily be overlooked as just another flower die. It looks gorgeous in the vase as a bunch against a very useful background. Thank you for sharing.
Love Diane G xxx
Congratulations to DeeDee on winning the card. Xxx
Pam echoing your comments today xxx
Elaine special hugs to you and the family xxx
June a sad occasion but lovely to catch up with relatives you haven't met. Good to hear you got home safe and sound xxx
Dear Sue and Everyone Enjoying Their Saturday,
So very pretty! How do you know what colors to put together? These look so nice. I have lots of questions. First, do you emboss the hobnail vase? It sure looks real in white. I remember those from my grandmothers and great aunts but never knew to call it that. Okay, maybe that was my only question.
I still can't find double sided sticky paper, except for the heavy duty kind that can hang onto seed beads, at $4 a sheet. What they have at Staples is just paper for printing stickers, and it's only sticky on one side.
DeeDee, we're all sad it wasn't us but glad it was you who won the card.
Elaine, your last line moved me, too.
Sam Smithard, nice to see you again!
Maureen Killen, sorry I misspelled your name yesterday. Glad you're dancing with the duster.
Patricia, I've been missing your elegant self. Hope you're well.
P in Wales, thanks for telling us about the Yeti-Wellies breakthrough. He'll be a lap cat before you know it.
June Smith, it's scary when the last of our parents' generation goes, because that means we're next. But I would sure take 91.
Love,
Donita
Hi Sue,
Love the Queen Anne's Lace and the Hobnail Vase dies, both are on the wish list but creeping steadily upwards!..lol
Congratulations to DeeDee...
June - what a horrendous day you had, glad to hear you're getting over it...

Lovely feminine card - the Queen Anne's Lace is very pretty.

Lovely card - I really like the idea of using up strips of card, keep saving them but not really using them to any great extent....

Hi Sue, I love the clean & sharp lines of this card softened by the beautiful Queen Anne's Lace. I have this die set and love mixing it up with others creating whole bouquets. Your video is as usual clear and helpful. I keep forgetting to use DST for edging with sparkles so thanks for the reminder.
Congratulations DeeDee on being this week's Wednesday Winner, enjoy your beautiful card.
Frances
Lovely clean looking card.

Elaine you need time for yourself or you'll burn out, hope you like your new hair do, hugs Julie xxx
Hello Sue,
What a beautiful card, I thought at first the flower was Lady's Mantle and then I read the heading of the post - doh!! I'll watch the video when I've done this.
Pam, enjoy your break from work, if you can remember Martita Hunt in the John Mill's version of Great Expectations - I look just like her ha ha. (I'm not joking!!)
CraftySuetoo - I hope your banana fingers soon recover.
June S - just take it easy.
'P' it will be at least another month before I dare venture on to public transport or go to town, even in the car. Just too many people jostling around to be walking with a Wheelie. I see there's been a breakthrough with Yeti. Now where is that rum!!!!
Donita, don't worry about misspelling my name, it's nice of you to even think about me.
Alimecca - how are you doing?
Pat L - what is a sensible head ha ha.
Elaine - you are remarkable and how lovely of Darren to treat you to the full Monty. Enjoy it because you deserve to be pampered.
Yvonne, I hope you are picking up and that dad has a great birthday.
Laine, missing you.
Congratulations to DeeDee7770

Snow To The Tips.

Good Morning Sue. Another lovely card. I wish my ideas turned out like yours. I usually end up scrapping the first attempt and turning it into something quite different. Still I suppose this is what crafting is all about. Best Wishes Sue Regards Ann Toppcards
Lovely card Sue. I have the vase die but not the flowers. Must remedy that soon. So far have used other flowers. Thank you for this lovely vase die. Watched the video. Very good. Love the top you were wearing. Just my colour. Echoing Pam's comments.

Hi Sue and everyone. Congratulations to dee Dee.
Love this card ,flowers and bling lovely. Excellent way to use scraps of card.
My love thoughts and hugs are with Crewe Trish, Elaine ,June and you dear Pam. Elaine what beautiful words, I had tears in my eyes.Sue I think I have now just about caught up with all of your videos on YouTube and nearly all are in "my favorites" I have enjoyed them all and bought so many dies, think I'm up to about 40 to 50 at mo and wanting so many more plus I've got the guilding wax and polish pixie powders glitter kiss colour cloud mica powders and oh yes the bling!!!! My dear hubby has let me have a bedroom as a craft room where I can forget everything and just plod away at my cards ! Makes you feel better when you have produced something that resembles a card! A lot goes in the bin and I start again but learn from my mistakes. Thank you Sue from saving me from my depression, your cards are a true inspiration. Love and hugs to all xxxxxxxxxxx
Hello Sue,
A very pretty card! I have the Queen Anne's Lace Dies and they are so detailed and beautiful! They reminded me of my Mum - not a card maker but she made beautiful floral arrangements for Church , Weddings etc! She was very fond of Queen Anne's Lace! I arranged flowers long before I came into card making! I know Maureen loves to arrange flowers too! She has given me some " props!" Margaret too loves her flowers and I was saying earlier today how privileged we are as Crafters to bounce ideas off one another! We learn so much. It's the sensible Myra here just now! I don't have the vase but it looks beautiful! I've even used the Queen Anne's Lace as a background! It's all your fault Sue - you make us look at Dies in different ways! As a background it's lovely too .
I knew the colour of your top before I watched the video - psychic - Non!! Brenda's favourite colour is lilac/ purple! Lol!
Rosemary - so pleased crafting is helping you! We all find it relaxing and support one another! You too have a kind husband!
Sam - welcome back from me too! You are an enormous help from f I forget the name of a Die!! Glad you had a lovely holiday.
June - sorry you had such a difficult day and a painful night . Hope you sleep well tonight!
Yvonne's Dad - Happy Birthday!!! Hope Yvonne is looking after you! Take care of her too!! X
Elaine - hope you enjoyed your pampering today - you deserve it , young lady!
I see Maureen has asked what a " sensible head!" Is! Pat L - Maureen and sensible are sort of like chalk and cheese!! Naughty and nice! - but I do like her!! Ha ha!
Thank you Pam for " trying" to keep us in line !! It isn't easy!
Love to all, Myra xxx
Hello Sue,
Enjoyed watching you create this lovely card. Your paper pieced background really does add an extra something to set off the focal point of your flowers and the added touch of a little bling just finishes it off. Definitely one to try.
Congratulations DeeDee, jealous? Moi? You bet I am! Enjoy.
Pam you were so young when you lost your mum, must have been hard for both you and your Gran.
Crewe Trish you are in my thoughts.
Elaine how lovely of Darren to treat you, you deserve a bit of pampering.
CraftySueToo hope this weather improves for you and your poorly fingers.
P- I'd like to see Mr.P do a rope trick without rope!
Rosemary what a lovely husband you have, mine gave me a room all for myself too. It's called a kitchen! Glad you are feeling more positive.
Sam, I'm glad to see you back too, your précis of just what Sue has used is amazing.
Myra, don't go getting all sensible on us, I much prefer the dizzy version!! ( although I do like the sensible version when we're bombing up the motorway!!!)
Laine we are really really missing you, sending you a special bucket full of love.
Love and hugs for all
