    Yana, you are one of my top favourites to run and watch when you upload a video, and I have especially loved your creations when you have used your own Spellbinders birthday and magnolia collections-I own several sets in each collection even though I am going through a huge sale of my cardmaking supplies due to space constraints, so I will have to get rid of more to keep them but they are absolutely worth it.
    Zsoka’s new folk art inspired Spellbinders collection absolutely makes me want to sing, when you use it, I get just as excited as when I saw Zsoka use it. She told us on her video that your cards using her collection were spectacular, and she was not in the least exaggerating. Again, I must have the folk art ornaments, the flowers, and that bird, SOMEHOW I WILL find the space!!! My faith is very important to me so I mainly would make faith-based Christmas cards, but these can still be faith-based by the sentiments that I use. I am hoping that Spellbinders will want to bring out another folk art collection with Zsoka that is not for Christmas, although certainly some of this collection can be used anytime which is very exciting!!!
    Yana, I love your style as I do Zsoka’s and I so appreciate learning from you. I have been using fun foam A LOT in non-traditional ways especially on hand-stitched cards I make for my Mom, who is a master cross-stitcher to give to her crafty and other friends, she mainly hand-delivers so I can use fun foam without worry of it being damaged going through the mail. Right now I am working on a giant set of hopefully over 59 hand-stitched cards, I made my Mom a set of 44 hand- stitched A2 plus A7 cards and gave them to her in early 2019. She will be 85 at the end of the year and I hope to get most if not all to her by then…. Because of her and my great desire to make hand-stitched cards (a video by the wonderful Jennifer McGuire got me started and I am so grateful), I learned how much I enjoy stitching, who knew?!
    But I LOVE flowers and I look forward to doing other creating after a huge clear-out and re-organization of my crafting space which is small, and I will be “stealing” some additional storage space from other closets etc, so it will mean paring down in other areas, but it will be worth it! Tops on my list are your birthday and magnolia collections plus really learning foiling with my Gemini and playing with a few sets from this folk art collection. To be very honest, your videos and Zsoka’s videos are the very first that I want to see when there’s a new Spellbinders collection or it’s a new month of club kits, although living in Canada, the cost of shipping from Spellbinders for their club sets has increased by 300% or more, a flat cost now that is out of my budget. Fortunately I can purchase regular Spellbinders collections from Simon Says Stamp (already a great favourite store) and sometimes Scrapbook.com, both have reasonable shipping, I mainly use SSS, but I hope that Spellbinders will find a much better solution for Canadians who love these exclusive monthly offerings. That is out of your control!!! 😊
    I am always excited to see your Spellbinders collections, Yana, and I look forward to seeing many more!!! I love your sense of colour and I also love how your collections can be used in so many ways and I look forward to using them for a very long time. I tend to make a lot of birthday cards, this next big hand-stitched set of cards for my Mon at her request Ell be heavily birthday, so perhaps I will be able to incorporate some of your collection into this set, or into some of my own hand-stitched cards for birthday and other occasions, my mind is excited at the idea and how to execute once I get my crafting space back much more organized and out of my dining room or at least share my dining room!!!
    I apologize for the much too lengthy comment, but your videos never fail to excite my imagination and my Mojo, and I am SO grateful!!!
    You plus Jennifer McGuire ad Zsoka’s videos are tops on my list to watch. Your Spellbinders collections plus I will now be watching for more from Zsoka are my absolute Spellbinders favourite Spellbinders’ designer (I also have a fondness for Becca Feeken’s elegance), I find that your style fits what I want to create. I am always looking to see what you create with your collections plus others. Spellbinders was extremely wise to have you design collections for them and I hope to see more when possible!!!
    Praying for your safety and for your family and friends, so many of us CARE, Yana!!! Again, I am sorry this is so long!!!
