STOP PRESS!!! 500 followers!
If you haven't done so already, please leave a comment on yesterday's post and
I will ask Elliott to pick out a winner for the Christmas goodies!
A little while ago I mentioned that my blog had been picked
out by Dotcomgiftshop as one of their favourite blogs.
Well, I couldn't resist ordering some of their items and over the weekend I managed to
sit down and make something...the first bit of card crafting I have
done in ages!
This what I ordered.....all very modest purchases!
I've linked back to their website for each product.
I've linked back to their website for each product.
(these are in a handy dispenser box - you do not remove them,
just pull on whichever tape you need - very nifty!)
and this is what I made...
It will not surprise you that it is festive and it also features Layered Poinsettia!
I just added some extra pieces of paper, wood grain and green dotty and a piece of cream lace.
I am really impressed by the quality of their products and especially liked the washi tape,
so much so - I ran a strip across the bottom of the envelope to match the card
and dress up the plain white envelope.

What I also like about their website is that they have a 'deal of the day' -
every day a product from their website is drastically reduced!
Their postage and packing is really reasonable too. It is worth stopping by each day to
see what the deal is - perfect for Christmas shopping.
Take care friends,
I will be back very soon.
What a lovely card
