BLUE CHRISTMAS BESTIE STYLE

 Hi again this is my second post of the day for my Allsorts DT card please scroll down.

I made this card following the sketch at Cheerful Sketches I used an image from the Bestie range I have had this one going back to my days on the DT I have used colours of blue and added three silver mirror card snowflakes



I would like to enter my card into the following challenges:



I have been having problems linking my card to some of the challenges I really hope that this is not a sign of things to come I don't think I could face all that bother again.

I would also like to ask a question Is anyone having problems with the Postal Service I have ordered some small craft items and they have either not arrived or have come several days late The postman did arrive yesterday he had been on holiday for a week and there had been no delivery until he came back at which time some of my items have gone 'missing' never know it as bad as this 
Many thanks for popping by hugs

Brilliant Christmas card using that fab sketch.

The UK postal service has definitely gone downhill! Me and my neighbours had a stack of post through our boxes yesterday, but none at all for the previous 3 days! Goodness only knows what's going on! Never heard of the postie going on holiday and therefore no mail delivered on his round before though! That's VERY poor service. xxx

Beautiful card Lorraine, lovely papers and a cute image.

We’ve been having problems with the post for some time now. We only get post a couple of days a week usually and some letters posted first class to travel a few miles are taking over a week to arrive. There seems to be a shortage of staff locally and I think you live in the same part of the country as me. xx

Great use of the sketch and I love the snowflake embellishments. I have found that the post is very hit and miss these days. Somethings arrive really quickly and others take much much longer than they should. It is frustrating. Hope yours arrives soon xx

Gorgeous card and image loe the design,papers and snowflakes.The post is ridiculous at the moment I am waiting for a craft delivery seems like ages and our post has been coming late and I mean late after-noon,John had a follow up app at Castle Hill after his heart attack and if someone hadn't actually rang for some info we would never have known -that was 18th Sept and still no sign of letter -he has been for a Dementia check up this aft at the surgery and there was nothing from the hosp didn't know about his heart attack or changes to his meds-not good enough!!!Sorry for the rant.

Fabulous composition and gorgeous colouring on this card Lorraine.

I agree the service from Royal Mail is now abysmal, which is all the more shocking considering the steep price rises they have implemented over the past year. it seems commonplace now for a 1st class item to take 2-3 days, and I have had a couple of occasions where 1st class have taken 5 days to arrive (one in the same city!!) I also suspect that the postman does not always visit the street every day, although they are legally required to do so. it's really bad!
