Golden Oldie...

Happy Saturday,

Today I am demonstrating at the Create It event in maidstone on the Art of Craft stand so if you are in the area pop along and say hi!

I have decided that whilst I make some changes to the structure and content on my blog I would share some golden oldies with you over the next week or so.  What I mean is some of the projects I made at the beginning of my crafting journey on the blog.  Some of these have proved to be the most popular posts and I know that as many blog family has grown a lot of my earlier cards and projects may have drifted off into the air!










That said I thought I would start with this project I first posted in June 2014 which seems so long ago.

Enjoy...

    Lovely card today John. Nice to see an oldie again. I hope we're still going to see plenty of you as you're such a good demonstrator and teacher. Too far to Maidstone although we will be at the services next Saturday en route to Germany and Switzerland!
    Have a great day.

    What a great idea to remind us of the wonderful things you did with Spellbinders way back when. And what a beautiful card to start off with.
    A burst of Summer brightness on a dull day and superbly intricate.

    Hi John this is a lively card and I've just "wasted" an hour looking at lots of older posts right back to when I first "found" you in May 2013. Where have those 4 years gone!!! Loved thd ideas you came up with using dies and all thd tutorials you posted as well so perhaps you may revisit some more of them while you decide what route your blog will take in future. Love from Jackie xx

    Hi John, had a look back to 2014 to see this card and had to smile when you said you hoped to be on Tv one day and that Val was bringing the magazine back from the UK. Think how much have happened since then. This card is still gorgeous !
    Good luck in whatever you will be doing next
