    Completely agree with you craftgranny, almost too lovely to use! I could easily keep it as it is forever and just get it all out every now and again and look at it all :D

    Here's my card for this week's ribbon challenge...

    All the bits came from the K&Co card box I received today (thanks to melissa!).

    I am cheating as the ribbon isn't really ribbon, it is paper. I wanted to use stuff from the box that arrived, hope I don't get disqualified!!! :o

    Good evening everyone. I got my box today too. I wasn't in, the OH told me over the phone that a "huge box" had arrived. I am really pleased with it, I'm glad rainmac and craftygranny that you like yours too. I'm always worried when I post a deal that people will be disappointed with it when it arrives and then I would feel guilty!
    I think I'll send them a nice email, I feel bad that I spent so little and their postage was so high! Lovely card Rainmac, I think I'll use some of the products for my scrapbooking too!
    Quiksave - thanks for the info on QVC, I might try to catch an episode or two.
    Bunbun2 - I received an email from papercraft inspirations. It said I SHOULD receive my items within the next 12 days - aaahhhh!

    Hello... Long time reader, first time poster on this thread...

    I popped into Wilko today (my third home... Second is the pound shop next door!) and they had a huge basket full of marked down stationary. Picked up some lovely notelet sets for 75p and they also had packets of cards, they are actually photo cards but they could easily be decorated up and used as apertures... 46p for 6!

    Anyway, just thought I would share that for now... Will go back to quietly reading and might be brave enough to post a card one of these days. (Actually did a ribbon card for OH brother this week but didn't photograph it before we sent it... Otherwise I might of been tempted to join the challenge... Hey ho!)
