back a couple of weeks ago and Ive only now had chance to take

a pic of it,not to worry Ive emailed Lisa to thank her

Isn't it gorgeous even better IRL!

Ive got to hold my hand up and say Ive not

made a start on my PIF's yet...but as soon as the kids

are back in school and this long awaiting camping trip/holiday

is over...i will!!

Thanks for stopping by and your lovely comment

DotComGiftShop Card Making Kit

Last week i was asked by Dotcomgiftshop if i would like
to review a collection of card making kits.
Firstly i had to pick myself up off the floor...lol
As Ive never been asked to do anything like this before,
And of course i emailed back straight away and said YES.
So when my parcel arrived a couple of days later....i was so
excited...i couldn't wait to get started.
The parcel contain 3 card making kits
Playtime,Flower Power,Monsoon
The first card making kit i had a play with is
Monsoon and it came with -
2 x Die cut Sheets
6 x Envelopes
6 x Cards
8 x Button Stickers
1 x sticky Pad Sheet

Everything you see on both cards are from the card kit
Except Buttons,Ribbons,Giant Paperclip,Peg,
Lettering,Luggage Label.
As you can see apart from making two cards i also
wanted to show you that with the fab die cut extras
you can make great little matching gifts to go with
your cards!
The top gift is a book marker made from a giant paperclip
and 2 of the flower die cuts and a button from my stash.
Bottom gift is a fridge magnet memo holder
made from a wooden peg and a matching die cut love heart
also from the kit.

I really enjoyed having a play with this Monsoon card making kit
I think this kit is great i soooo love the colours.
The quality of the kit is very good.
And i would highly recommend these kits esp for beginners and
for the advance card maker "when you need a quick card"
or even the young crafters out there as a little present for them!
What i love about this kit is that it comes with gorgeous die cuts
that you can use to make other gifts apart from using them on your cards!

So if you fancy having ago at this card making kit - Monsoon or even buying
it as a gift for someone.Click on the link

But that's not the end...be sure to check back
where i will be showing you the other 2 card making kits

So thanks for looking,
