Gorgeous card Sue. Such a fun card. Love the clouds too.
Congratulations to lucky winner Anuta, enjoy.
Elaine, so glad Trixie is fixed, let's hope all is now in working order, I'm sending loads of luck today for Andrews scan, I hope all goes well for him. Good news that he was feeling a little better.
Yvonne, you are right just to pop in and keep it short, we don't want you to overdo it and we definitely don't want you to go missing again. Hooe Laine is okay when you speak to her. Tell her she is missed too.
June, I hope Colin had a wonderful birthday.. Laughing at your toy boy comment.
Maureen, hope George is feeling better, he should improve quickly with the Matrons care .
Myra, thank you, you do an admirable job keeping us updated. Have you heard from Norah, hooe she is alright.
Has to go to town yesterday to get my glasses repaired, the car parking was manic but the shops weren't overly busy, boy was I glad to get home. Kelly and the twins got my Christmas tree out of the loft and assembled it and I decorated it last night. Getting there.
Basket of hugs overflowing, help yourselves. Thinking of all poorly and missing friends too.
Such a different card Sue, love the background too xx hazel
Morning Sue. Is it really the weekend again ? What a wonderful array of samples you've given us this past week so much beautiful inspiration, and now this clever design joins the clan. This sample opens itself up for so many different backgrounds and the dome for so many variations with the stamps and all the tiny little dies you've designed over the years, a really clever idea Sue.
Congratulations Anita you've won the most amazing Wednesday gift enjoy.
Sending love and hugs wrapped in a snuggly warm blankly and hope your day is a good one xx
Morning Sue.
A lovely card thank you.
Congratulations to Anita have fun.
Take care all and keep warm Kitty.
Morning Sue and all Wilsonettes, oh this is lovely, I will watch the video later when I have my breakfast.
Pam I reiterate all you have said above. Yes Colin did have a nice birthday, quite but lots of phone calls and our youngest son and grandchildren will be round today. He had a call from all the grandchildren yesterday including the one in Birmingham, she was saying that 'we have lots of snow Grandad, would you like some', pout of the mouths of babes!! I bet there was lots of laughs yesterday when twins helped with the Christmas tree, take care and don't go out today unless you absolutely have too, it is manic out there not just because of Christmas but also because of the weather - this applies to everyone.
Stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx

Hi Sue, Great shaker card.

Dear Sue and The Merry Band of Crafters,
Every time I watch you do Pixie Powders, I try to see what you do that I'm not. Maybe it's the flick you give to the spray bottle as you spray, or the Powders are looser in their bottles than mine, or I'm tapping too high over the paper. I get either a vague blur or unblended sharp dots.
But by golly my rusted ironwork looks great.
A person like me would be tempted to color in the balloon and cut the sun from yellow and get blue for the sky inside the snow globe.
Mopsi and I are enjoying not freezing but the guy said I'll need a new fire box. We're expecting snow on Saturday. Hope your temperature extremes balance out, Elaine. We really do need our temperatures within a small range.
Thanks for all the ideas.
Think warm thoughts!
Love,
Donita
Hi Sue

Will comment here whilst I can. Congratulations to Anita. Enjoy! This is a lovely card Sue. Thank you for sharing this with us. I cannot watch the video as iPad won't let me. Think it's coming to the end of its working life. Glad you have got your tree out of the loft Pam. Enjoy decorating it. Elaine I hope Andrew's scan goes ok. Hope you are ok Maureen. Can't email you. Echoing Pam's comments today. Take care everyone. Very cold and frosty out. Hugs for all who need them.
Hi Sue

Well done Anita enjoy your card .

Yorkie girl, i hope you feel better soon .
Donita ,i hope your fire box will be installed today , as for us ,we sat with the doors and windows open last night ,talk about being in the hot house doh
Pam ,thank you for the loads of scan luck, Andrew phoned last night at about 8.30 said he felt awful again and was going to bed , i hope he feels better today and can make the scan appointment . I bet it felt really festive to have the twins decorating the tree ,i miss my tree , we only have a small table one because we have no room , i am sat looking out at all the white stuff so my mind is made up and I aint going nowhere today .
Big hugs to Pat L ,Littlelamb,Crewe Trish, Rosemary , Alimecca,Myra, Maureen ,Izzy, Diane,June,not forgetting Sue and anyone else i have forgotten .
Take care everyone

Good Morning Sue. This is such a fun card and so very different. Not really my kind of card buuut it could be doable at some point. You never know what you are going to be asked to make
Donita you have my sympathy....we are the same....Ohhh how I have tried and tried with these powders and mine never come out like Sue's and Julia's. No matter what I try it just doesn't happen. But I am a non quitter and I WILL get this right and when, and if, I do, I will let you know where we are going wrong lol. Stay with it Donita. Kind regards Ann Toppcards Leeds
Hi Sue
I love this card, I will try and watch video later as going out for fish and chips with my Mum, children and grandchildren as it's a year ago today I lost my lovely hubby Mick,
I have loved your new die collections and have a few on my wish list for when my mojo kicks in and I have time to play again as 5 days aweek I have my 17 month grandson and also looking after my 87 year old Mum who has COPD, I have managed birthday cards and some simple christmas ones but still have a few to make but at this rate they might be ready for next year
Congratulations to Anita on winning card
Huge hugs to you all and I will try and pop in more.
Love and hugs

Morning Sue, great card today, I love the little clouds. Will watch the video with my coffee later.

Morning Sue, what a lovely shaker card. I haven't got to grips with these type of cards yet, but it's on my list of things to conquer next year. Oh well, back to addressing cards. Love making them, but hate writing them out. Hugs xx Pauline

Congratulations to Anita enjoy your prize
Hope you are all keeping safe & warm in this cold weather
Hi Sue
What a fun card today, I love the hot air balloon stamp, it works so well as a shaker card doesn’t it. There’s something about hot air balloons that make me smile when I see them, perhaps it’s the thought of warm balmy evenings. Thank you for sharing.
Love Diane G xxx
Congratulations to Anita on winning the card xxx
Pam echoing your comments today, good to hear the tree is up. Xxx

Muriel x
Cute shaker card and lovely Pixied background. I love playing with Pixie Powders and want more colors.
Congrats to Anita. You won a beauty.
I am almost done with my Christmas cards as of yesterday. Have a stack ready for mailing. I need to clear up all my craft clutter from the dining room table as it will be needed for meals with company. Still need to decorate the tree. That is the fun part. A glass of wine and Christmas music should do it.
Donita, stay warm and hopefully your heating will be fixed quickly. We have snow down here. Does everyone run out for bread and milk before a snow storm in RI or is that a Southern thing?
Everyone, enjoy your weekend and stay safe and warm,

Nanna Tina - thinking of you and the family.
Rosemary - good to see you back.

Frances

A very unusual card, not too sure about the background with the clouds.
Pixie Powder and a shaker card. What fun!
So so sweet and I love those wee clouds.
Hi Sue, I love this shaker card !! and the clouds look fabulous.
Lots of love from Patricia xx
Hi Sue
Lovely shaker card today. Just what we need to fly away from this snowy frosty weather.
So pretty! That background has me squealing with delight! TFS!
Congratulations Anita on winning this week’s card giveaway!
Hello Sue,
Am writing this as I watch the snow falling gently from the sky, thankful that I don't have to go out in it. The card today is such a happy, fun one. The pixie background is just delightful.
Hope that everyone has a delightful weekend.

Hello Sue,
I’m not sure about today’s card for me but we are all very different and I like aspects of it. I’m just not sure about everything together! Sorry Sue! You know me - I try to be honest. The background is lovely and the fluffy clouds too! Hot Air Balloons make me a bit nervous ! Ha ha!
Pam - you make me blush thanking me - you keep track of everyone and without you I’d be lost ! I’m not alone!
Maureen may be back soon! Don’t say I didn’t warn you! She has had an afternoon off today and seen Paddington 2 with her lovely granddaughters! I just wish she hadn’t put marmalade sandwiches under her hat!! Still - it would have saved it blowing off! The hat that is!!
Elaine - thanks so much for the hugs! I hope all went well today for Andrew. I really feel as if I know him! Tell Trixie to behave!
Bevery - we have been promised snow but it has missed us thus far . Hope it doesn’t come overnight as we are expecting the family tomorrow!! If they don’t get here I’ll send out food parcels!
Nanna Tina - so good to see you! Take care!
Rosemary - good to see you too!
Anita - congratulations on a lovely win! Enjoy!
PP good to see you too! Love to Elaine also.
Pam - how’s the tree! I’m sure it looks lovely!
Love to all, Myra ( Friend of Maureen! ) xxx
Hi Sue,
Great fun card. Love the clouds.

Good evening Sue,

Good Sunday morning to you Sue and to all your followers.
I love today's card and I always love your videos. I will buy some pixie powders after Christmas and have a go with them. I have made my first 2 shaker cards this week and am quite pleased with them,
Congratulations to the winner of your beautiful card.
We too have had snow and expecting more today.
My Son has already been today with a load of doll molds from storage. He has gone back now for another load and when they are all here I will try to sell some of them as I don't think I can do the pouring now,
Keep warm everyone.
Love to all.
Marie P.
Love watching your videos and this technique is awesome, lovely card Sue. hugs xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
