I made this card yesterday & have scheduled this post because I have work !!! still ... only 10 working days left, I then get 5 - 6 weeks off, YAY, that's what's good about working term time only. I get ALL the school holidays.
I have used my new stamps that I purchased off of Create & Craft. I must say that I am truly disappointed with their service. It has taken two weeks for them to send my stamps!!! I don't know why it takes sooo long. I have paid the postage. Anyone else had this problem?
Anyway enough of me moaning Lol

oh hun this is one gorgeous card just love that image,and love all the sparkle on it too,know what you mean hun I had to wait nearly 4 weeks for my last purchase i emailed them,and all they said was the parcel was late leaving the warehouse and you have to allow 10 days for the item to arrive. I love the show but they really need to sort out the posting no point in having a great show,with lots of bargains,and the post takes nearly a month to get to you hugs cheryl xxxxxx
