Some of you might be aware that I took up a new job recently, to reward myself on getting the job I went ahead and placed an extravagant order from Simon Stays Stamp, I have never placed such a big international order ever, this was on 11th November 2012 and guess what I am still waiting for the parcel to arrive :( ......I have checked with the foreign post office customs office in Bangalore and also at the local post office without any luck.....now I can assume the parcel is lost.....I am heartbroken :((....I lost a lot of money + I really really wanted those craft goodies (can we ever have enough craft supplies?)
I also ordered some dies from blitsy.com and My Favorite Things and luckily both the parcels arrived safely....the paper bow is die-cut from this dainty bows MFT Die-namics die......absolutely love it....
This card is inspired from this sketch from retro sketches

ReplyDeleteMy deepest condolences on your missing parcel Juhi... To lose a parcel is one thing, to lose a parcel filled with craft goodies is unbearable. I'm physically crossing my fingers for you. Hope all works out. That said your card is really cute. The paper bow is awesome, I'm a sucker for bows.

Crossing my fingers that your package arrives safely. The postal service can, unfortunately, be a little unpredictable around the holidays. On a brighter note, I adore your cute little card! What a perfect little bow! Thank you for taking the time during this busy season to join us for this week's Play Date Cafe Challenge!
ReplyDeleteJust beautiful. Love the scoring. Thanks for playing along with us this week in the "What's Your Favorite" challenge over at the Simon Says Stamp Challenge Blog.
ReplyDeleteSuch a sweet card. Love the score lines.
ReplyDeleteP/s: Shipping at the end of the year is really unpredictable so don't be heartbroken. It just might turn up soon.
how beautiful...
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas...Happy Holidays!!
Oh I am so sorry to hear about your package. I really hope it turns up.
ReplyDeleteYour card is absolutely awesome! I love every last detail. Thanks so much for playing with us at CAS-ual Fridays!
Your package could still turn up. Do check with the store to verify it actually shipped before you lose hope. If it went out later than you think, it could still be wandering through the mail system. Especially at this time of year, it's all moving extra slow.
ReplyDeleteYour card is gorgeous!! I love how you scored the lines. Thanks for having some fun with us at CAS-ual Fridays!
Congratulations Juhi!! :)
ReplyDeleteCongrats Juhi!!Just saw your card in Cas-ual friday´s winning post.It is superb.Loved that bow.
ReplyDelete...sad to know about your parcel..but be positive.I´m sure bcos of christmas load it must have stuck somewhere in customs.
