ReplyDeleteHappy Blog-aversary Amanda. I have been following your blog for a little while. (I get them by email). Love your projects. Thanks for your inspiration.
ReplyDeleteI am from Australia. Thanks for the little gifts to celebrate. BTW: The link to the Cantilever box goes to the blog post not the tutorial???
Keep sharing your wonderful projects - and to many more Blog-aversaries. x
Congratulations and happy blog-anniversary. You always have great ideas on your blog. I love your work. I'm filling your blog from Canada. Congratulations again.
ReplyDeleteHappy blog anniversary Amanda! Enjoy reading each day and love making cards. Not so keen on the cartoons and animals but think the pastels and florals are brilliant. Many thanks, Jill B

Happy Blog-Aversary Amanda! Hip, hip hooray, hip, hip, hooray (cue-balloons, party poppers and confetti falling from the sky and the most amazingly ultra huge bunch of flowers being given to you and of course the popping of champagne corks!) Greetings from Australia. I pop in everyday, I have had your blog favourited/bookmarked into my computer so that's how I visit you. I have just subscribed via email-thank you very much ;) I love absolutely everything you do!!! Cheers Donna Z :)
ReplyDeleteHi Amanda, happy Blog-aversary. I came across one of your pieces on Pinterest and the link took me to your blog. I love all the projects that you show us and have tried a few of them with some success. So please keep those great projects coming. I am from Melbourne, Australia and would be absolutely thrilled if I won the 3D templates. Cheers
ReplyDeleteHappy Anniversary! Please do not include me in this blog candy...just popped over to give wishes...I'm in the USA and I'd rather they go local to your blog readers there!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your blog anniversary! I am near Glasgow, Scotland. I follow you with Bloglovin' and on Pinterest. I love your 'fancy fold' cards. They look so impressive but are easy to make following your tutorials. More of the same please but maybe videos one day!
ReplyDeleteHello! I follow you from sunny Leeds! I am a fellow demo (please do not enter me in to the draw - I just wanted to leave you a comment) I have made and followed so many of your tutorials and used them in classes (well my versions of them) I really think you should add a donate button Amanda as people like me and others from around the world judging from above all love and are inspired by your work, it would be lovely to have a simple and fast way to show appreciation for that, in my opinion anyway. You devote so much time to your craft and I am very grateful for the inspiration!
ReplyDeleteHi I am from NSW Australia. I follow you by email and though I love your cards, ideas & tutorials I don't comment often enough!
ReplyDeleteI hope you just keep 'keeping on' with whatever you enjoy doing so we can all enjoy it too!
Congratulations on reaching the seven year itch! Love all your makes, projects and your friendship. See you in September xx
ReplyDeleteHappy blog anniversary. I follow by email and enjoy how you like to do a few days on the same stamp set or idea. I am getting back into stamping as I have had a few years off due to family issues. It is so lovely to be inspired by your refreshing approach to stamping. Thanks so much for all your generosity and sharing. I live in Australia.
ReplyDeleteHappy bloggiversary. I live in the UK and follow by Bloglovin. I'm probably signed up with GFC too but I find that much harder to use, I don't seem to get a complete list of new posts with it.
ReplyDeleteMy favourite posts of yours are the unusual card folds and those with some "engineering". I've learned a lot from you!

I follow you on blogger, not quite sure how I initially found you, via blogging friends possibly.
ReplyDeleteYour cards are always fab but I've also loved your 3D ideas - a mass production of the Creme egg chick holders went very well!
Your cards on display at Telford earlier in the year were great for inspiration too.
Keep up the good work.
Hi, I'm in the UK. I follow you via email. I like to see you making cards, and finding extra ways to use dies (eg blossoms into topiary). I tend to use stamps less and less these days but love my dies. Thanks for sharing all you do.
ReplyDeleteCongrats Amanda, I thought Inhad left a comment yesterday but it must not have gone through,mlove all of your ideas and tutorials, thanks so much for sharing your expertise, it is truly appreciated!
ReplyDeleteHi Amanda,

Hi Chris G here. I check your blog every day. You give me so much inspiration and love all the tips, techniques and tutorials. You are fantastic! Been decorating hubbys office today so all the stuff from his office ended up in my craft room! Hope it's ready for Monday.....I have a class on Tuesday! Xxx
ReplyDeleteI have been following by e-mail. I think about a year not sure though. I look every day At your e-mails and most of the time I pop over to read your post. I know I don't leave messages, but I do enjoy what you post. I live in the USA. I like your directions in inches best. I have made a couple of cards from your instructions. I love fancy fold cards and boxes. Anything out of the usual. Thank you for all the great tutorials you have posted. Edwina Brown
