2016 Sept. Blog Launch/ Indian Ocean Collection

Hello bloggers!  Welcome to the fourth die release of 2016!  I am always a bit excited and a bit nervous every time I have a new die release, but I think I am more excited this time! I have really enjoyed creating with this latest release!  I have decided to start with my latest country collection which, as it happens is actually an Ocean instead of a country!  Introducing the Indian Ocean Collection.  First up today is the Background to the collection.  I had a lot of fun making a split negative design for this sample (I just love my black and white with a pop of colour!)  I do hope this one will whet your appetite for the rest to follow.  As always, one of each die design will be given away through drawings that will be done and posted after the launch so you want to be sure to leave comments on each and every blog post for the next five days to be included in as many drawings as possible.  I will post the winners of the dies on Tuesday Sept 20th.  The drawings will have to be delayed slightly as I will be away doing Ally Pally shortly after the launch.  Again as always, since I have many people with the same first names on the blog, I ask that you sign your comments with either your full name, an alias, a funny nickname, perhaps the city you live in (such as Janice in Brighton) or some other way in which to identify you as that person.  I only have one set to give away so I need to make sure that you know that it is you if your name is drawn.  One comment per person per post please.  I know that duplicates sometimes get done by accident so I will remove any extras, but there will be 25 blog posts so 25 chances to win!  The next blog post will be at 10am today so lease check back then!  All for now,
Sue x

All today's dies are truly stunning, you know I have a special thing for your background dies though. Your collection looks to be very well received. This Indian Ocean set looks to be one of the most beautiful you've done.

Just woke up, not sure I'll get through the other posts but I promise I'll look soon as I get the chance. Big hugs and congratulations Sue, you've done great again. T x

Big hugs to all especially to those having hard times for any reason xxx
