Advent Calendar Window # 21

Good Morning Everyone,
 Karita here with you and it´s time to open a new window in LLC´s Advent Calendar :) 
Today´s candy is LLC's own Shabby Seam Binding, available in nine different colours.
The prize is 3 colours of the winner's choice, how great is that!?!?! 

For your chance of winning today's prize, please do the following:
1) Become a follower of this blog if you're not already
2) Post our Advent Blinkie in your Blog Sidebar. The html code can be found here.
3) Leave a comment on the blog post with your thoughts on the project

And here´s my project for today...
After a long time I have made an envelope card again. 
A few years back I used to make these often. I just loved making these since they are fast to make and they are very beautiful too. But without any particular reason, I stopped making them... what a pity..
The beautiful paper that I used here is Kladdkaka from Maja Design's "Shall we have Coffee?" collection.
I also used one gorgeous white Magnolia Shabby Chic Tulle Rose and a few white Poppies and the Rhinestones Lace.
And here´s a close up of the Winter White Shabby Seam Binding.
I´ve just noticed that almost all the embellishments I used are white.... ;) 
Favourite colour perhaps ;) 

Thank you for stopping by.
I´m wishing you a lovely weekend and very Merry Christmas and Happy New 2013! :)

Hugs, Karita

    1. Hi Vanja,
      No the Advent Calendar is for crafters worldwide to enjoy. I have already shipped candy prizes to Norway, Finland, Germany, Switzerland, and Australia, apart from the UK. Good Luck; there are still a few chances left to win! Merry Christmas! /Sandy
