A Card Made From A Parcel Sent By Melanie …..

Parcel from meleanie
I am always overwhelmed when someone takes the time to write to me and then sends me  something wonderful….. that happened a few weeks back when, after a fraught day at work, I found this exquisite package from Melanie sat sitting on my door mat …
Melanie
It was crammed with all sorts of treasure and I was so thrilled!  Amongst the lovely bits I found this pack of Docrafts “Tulip” embellishments, which though I have seen in the shops I have never ventured to buy, and this was now was an ideal opportunity to try them out …..
Docrafts Tulip
I married them up with two papers from my Boofle 6ins x 6ins paper pack, which matched perfectly, punching a few hearts to fill in the “white space”.
Docrafts Tulip Range Engagement Card Venice
I now have a spooky sort of feeling that when the card goes into my staffroom box someone is going to say it’s perfect for someone they know who got engaged, married, honeymooned in Venice, I shall keep you informed!

xxx Thank you so much Melanie xxxx …. and as you can see from the photo above your envelope has been by my desk constantly since it arrived,  so that I can delve into it whenever I need the finishing touch for a card or something. THANK YOU!

Thank you for wanting to leave a comment. I HATE verification and apologise for the extra bother it causes, however, if I don't have it I get all sorts of dubious spam added and the comments would be bogged down utter ***p!

Occasionally I get comments on posts from several years ago, again, I have to apologise, copies of TEMPLATES etc. that I once offered are now NO LONGER AVAILABLE, when my last computer died, I lost everything and decided not to replace any them.
