Not that long as you just cut strips of 1inch by 6 and just tie them found each of the rings in the frame. After a bit. it starts to take shape :-) I want to do one in blues and white ribbon to have up in my kitchen plus will make some for craft fairs .

I keep all of them in a big box and in their original covers, with spellbinders it will be easier to have them on a magnetic sheet in a seperate folder and I will keep them in a ring file so every make is seperate, at least that is the intention....lol...

Glad you put it on here Jill. I was trying to look at it on Facebook, three times zi got to your post with the wreath and three times either Facebook or my IPad decided to throw me out. Weird. I am definitely not Facebook literate!

The wreath is lovely, very attractive. Did it take you long to make? :-)

Been making a rag wreath, hope it shows on my profile picture

They work well Jean how do you store your dies. I have some in a Marianne folder and some on magnetic paper in a CD holder (zip up type) but wonder if there is a better way.

There is also a voucher n the D+++++xX...........so it can be cut out save printing off, sadly my nearest H/C is too far away , so hope you all have a good spend,

I have had a naff morning I bought some A4 magnetic sheets to put my dies on , cant find them anywhere, they only came yesterday, so still in the white envelope, but my oh is great at putting stuff in the bin and they have just been emptied :-0 so what are the odds on them being in the refuse van :-|ah well back to reorder them......
love Jean x

Happy spending! :-D :-D :-D

Thanks Linda

Well done Jean, another way of making a profit out of your hobby. :-D

Just had to share this with you all, I have won a prize,it was for sending in a craft tip, I sent in the tip about saving the greaseproof insides out of cereal packets for die cutting, and it won :-D :-D I will be getting a full kit of cardstock and toppers , by H/Dory, I am well pleased.....off to see if there are any other comps for craft goodies......
love Jean xx

How lovely Jill to be making new friends. Even if it means making more cards.
Your craft day sounds fun too.

Good evening to you all, not been about much as been a busy few weeks with craft fairs and classes.
I did attend a lovely craft afternoon on Saturday and made a floral decoration, a ribbon decoration, brooch in a box and a gift cracker, was good fun doing things outside of my comfort zone.
I am halfway through my Christmas cards and need to make more than usual as made some lovely friends on the Island.

xx Jill

Jewellery making seems to be on the up and maybe card making is not so popular, but thank goodness there are still plenty of card making mags and supplies around. You get a good price for your cards Ginnie. I have never sold any of mine, not actually tried to.
