Hi crafters! I have a lovely silhouette card for you. The video shows you how to expand the Birch Tree background to make a larger forest for your animals too.
The winner of this week's Wednesday Card giveaway is:
Elizabeth Bennett!!!
Congratulations! Please email me at americansue1@gmail.com to confirm your address and claim your card.
Stunning card Sue, gorgeous. Very ethereal
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Eluzabeth on winning the beautiful angel card. What a treasure.
Donita, hope your foodie day goes well. Remember you can't comment if you haven't tried the food first. Have a great day.
Elaine, I'm shocked but not surprised at the Housing people's attitude. It's always money before people. I think your MP needs to be involved and maybe the local paper. I hope Mary was much improved when you saw her and that Andrew is doing well.
CreweTrish, the news is full of the terrific heatwave Lucifer, if you are in that region please take extra care and keep well out of the sun.
Alison, I too can't believe it is 8 months since your fall, where does time go. Hooe you are okay.
CraftySue, if you need to sleep do so, it is your body's way of getting over the stress you went through towards the end of your work. Take a break before you start job hunting if you can afford to.
Welcome to the blog Paul, Sue is an inspiration to us all.
Daily hugs to all, thinking of all poorly and missing friends, Laine, Norah, missing you gals.
Love this, would frame it I think. Congratulations to Elizabeth xx

Hello Sue,
ReplyDeleteI have loved this card since I saw it during your release. You have captured the scene magnificently. It is so serene but majestic as well. It reminds me of of the many nights the deer and other critters would appear at the edge of the woods on my parents farm. The dies and the stamps with this release are just wonderful.
Have a lovely weekend.
