A Thank You gift for me.

I received a lovely surprise package in the mail yesterday and it was from my partner for the last ESAD Secret Sister round, Sonia Garbutt.

Sonia had made me a ‘Thank You’ gift for the items she received from me. Now this was not necessary and is not a requirement to the swap so it was very much unexpected but certainly appreciated.

This is what Sonia made for me.

Sonia has used the new Kaleidoscope DSP from the Summer Mini Catalogue along with coordinating Bold Brights cardstock & inks and one of my all time favourite stamp sets, Great Friend, which unfortunately is not available at present but I do so hope it makes the next IB&C released 1st September 2010. If it doesn’t I still don’t think I could part with it straight away. Of course you can also see some of the wonderful Ice Rhinestone Circle brads used on this wonderful project.

I’m sure you’ve heard me say before that I’m really not a Bold Brights kind of girl (unless of course you are a new visitor to my blog) but this Kaleidoscope DSP has changed that a little and I’ve probably used more Bold Bright colours since the release of the Summer Mini than I have in the 3 1/2 years prior with Stampin’ Up!. Let’s just hope that when this mini finishes my using Bold Brights more doesn’t go with it….hahaha.

So would you like to see what’s inside????

Check it out.

Sonia has created some note paper hand stamped with some images from the Great Friend stamp set.

Wasn’t I a lucky girl?

I’m sure I’ll be CASING this great project soon.

Till next time….

Happy Stamping
