Good morning everyone
Our shop and office closes at 2pm (UK time) today for the Christmas break so this will be my last post for a while. Don’t forget that you will still be able to order on the website over the holidays however your orders won’t be shipped until we come back week commencing 7th January
We have the Winter Sale section with lots of your favourite stamps at just £3.00 each …and we have also extended the free postage offer
***
Our Design Team will be taking over and doing the posts for the next few weeks so there will still be a new card to show you every day. We want to keep on giving you lots of ideas and inspiration to take you into the New Year and there will still be a draw at the end of December from all the comments for a £25 voucher. Make sure you let us know what you think to ensure that your name goes into the draw – you’ve got to be in it to win it!!

Lucy will be updating the Facebook page regularly over the holidays so if you haven’t visited then do stop by and see what she’s up to. You can also put your own cards on there for us and other LOTV fans to see

I’m going to finish with a couple of my favourite cards from the past year
When I saw this one from Kathy it really caught my attention, she’s very clever at making these little scenes using paper and fabric and they make for a very special card. She made this using Light The Way from our Christmas people collection …
My second card is by Gretha and she’s used Fairy With Dove from our Fairies and Mermaids set. I think it was the colour scheme that made this one stand out for me, it’s so hard to use reds and keep it ‘pretty’ without being too bright or bold and I think the colours on here are just beautiful
I’ll be back on Christmas day and New Year’s day with more of my favourites from 2012. We have a fabulous DT who make the most amazing cards to showcase our stamps so it was hard for me to pick a favourite for each of them!

All that’s left is for me to say thank you so much for supporting our blogs and for your custom throughout the year. We have some exciting new products for 2013 and can’t wait to show you them
Merry Christmas and a very happy New Year from us all at Lili of the Valley

ReplyDeleteThe more I see by these talented ladies, the more I want to get my hands on these stamps.
ReplyDeleteI've only recently caught the stamping/card making bug. I've been a scrapbooker for years, and always said that was the only hobby I would stick to, because I just can't afford another! To my dismay, I can't help myself! Oh how I wish I did not have three in college, and a limited budget. *but* I absolutely will find a way to purchase as many as possible!!
Gorgeous card with all those pretty little details. Happy Holidays!
ReplyDeleteHugs, Eemeli
Fab cards, Merry Christmas Anne,
