Happy Birthday Giveaway

Hi Bloggers.

Kathryn & I are off to Crete on holiday for a week later on today leaving Nathan in charge of the house and feeding the kitties. It's my first holiday overseas for quite a while so really looking forward to it. Going to try really hard not to turn into a lobster - as you know I'm quite pale!

I just haven't had the time to prep a card for each day while I'm away. So, for the the next 11 days (going straight to Maidstone for a demo day at J&C Creations on 27th as soon as I get back), I will be offering a previously blogged card up as a giveaway. Just leave a comment each day and I'll do a draw on 29th June. I'll include a link to the original post (if I get time) so you can read how the card was made. I've just opened the first box I came to under my bed so some are a bit old, sorry. However, they all need a good home.

Normal service will resume on Monday 29th June.

Any orders placed on my website between 18th and 28th June will get sent out on Monday 29th June. Apologies for any inconvenience that this may cause.

Here's today's giveaway card -

You can see more pics and details on how the above card was made here.

Leave a comment below to go into the draw to win it.

Thanks for stopping by,

Julia.

    Hi Julia. Lovely card and lovely to hear you are actually taking a break abroad. I am off to Portugal next week for a few days with my son and, like nancyd will be packing my P20 as I too burn. I am hoping to still be able to view and comments on your cards each day as the villa has wifi, especially as you are being so generous with your cards. Have a great time, I know you will! SueL x

    Hi Julia,
    Lovely card today, So glad to hear you are taking a break with Kathryn after all the driving around the country you have been doing, Just relax and chill out and come back with your batteries recharged. It doesn't matter if the cards are a bit old as you say...the fact you are generous enough to give them away is all that matters, I am sure they will all be lovely cards anyway. Hope you have a brilliant holiday.
    Love Janet x

    Love the colours.

    PSFor your trip buy some high SPF Ultrasun - apply once, lasts all day - great for us pale ones. I have been using it for several years in some very hot and sunny places. Would not be without it.
