I love how you have off set the ovals to arrange the pretty roses and leafy parts in beside them. Pretty flower, really pretty.<br />The new grand calibur that is coming out is called the platinum and it reminds of the Joy Trouvaille as the sides fold out and down but the workings of it is all metal with what looks like a sturdier handle and it looked white in colour from the clip i seen (2:30mins clip not the shorter one) on youtube, It is built along the lines of the big shot as it can now cut out leather and all that sort and takes the fat, steel edge dies but the lassie said that it was heavy so might not be something that we could humph around, on and off a table or desk.<br />Anyway i will speak to you shortly flower,<br />love and crafty hugs<br />Norah (Glenochil)Glenharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03653116596107902711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8956760013891051450.post-31104018230396727392015-01-15T01:22:53.436+00:002015-01-15T01:22:53.436+00:00Thank you Pat, we need to sort out a day for next ...Thank you Pat, we need to sort out a day for next week, I missed you so much on Monday, it was a miserable day that seemed to last a week! <br />Hope all your appointments and meetings went well and that you enjoyed your lunch out enjoy your club on today!<br />hugs<br />Sandra xxxxSandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04200010622107370353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8956760013891051450.post-77741181314433510112015-01-15T01:20:02.464+00:002015-01-15T01:20:02.464+00:00Jacquie, Thanks for your lovely comment, you are s...Jacquie, Thanks for your lovely comment, you are so right, the comments make such a difference to the day.<br />I too would love to have a huge craft session, it would be amazing everyone sharing their hints and tips, would be a perfect day!<br />Warm Hugs<br />Sandra xxxxSandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04200010622107370353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8956760013891051450.post-1437297305462350872015-01-15T01:17:49.370+00:002015-01-15T01:17:49.370+00:00Patricia,

It has been on display at the CHA , apparently and it is a manual machine at the moment but it looks really sturdy. When I say at the moment - they may bring out an adaptor kit which would mean it could be powered in furure. To be launched around June.<br />Just thought you make like to take a little sneaky peek! <br />Love Myra xxMyrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14667747125575972770noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8956760013891051450.post-6252331340812502312015-01-14T17:38:03.711+00:002015-01-14T17:38:03.711+00:00Love the flowers they make for a pretty card xxxLove the flowers they make for a pretty card xxxbarbiepinkfairyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16697488105735813168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8956760013891051450.post-27337662248118767662015-01-14T17:05:37.455+00:002015-01-14T17:05:37.455+00:00Wow Sandra Queen of the flower displays, you reall...Wow Sandra Queen of the flower displays, you really are.

You are truely a brilliant crafter.<br />Like you, if im using quite a few flower's I always place them down first before I secure them,nothing worse than sticking them all down only to take a birds eye view, not like what you see by then its toooo late !<br />Im so glad the GENUINE comments left from GENUINE people that really adore your cards and really care how you feel help you. Im not a believer of empty words, they mean nothing. And if you cant support those you really care for in blog land then who can you support that's what I say.<br />So have a lovely 'normal' day stay warm and happy, and hopefully if you feel well enough you will make me smile again tomorrow.<br />Take care.<br />Lancashire Steph xxSteph Cotterillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18345446172855304634noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8956760013891051450.post-29987317111265676042015-01-14T13:12:54.414+00:002015-01-14T13:12:54.414+00:00Good afternoon my lovely Sandra,WOW WOW sooo very ...Good afternoon my lovely Sandra,WOW WOW sooo very pretty I love it.<br />The flowers,bow,colours all gorgeous I realy love your cards Sandra your design's are always stunning.<br />With love & hugs Lynda xxxxLynda's craft'shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01532280747477027294noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8956760013891051450.post-60659375526063032592015-01-14T12:18:29.384+00:002015-01-14T12:18:29.384+00:00Hi Sandra,
