The left sidebar of this blog lists stores I personally shop at - places I have received excellent service, shipping speed and quality product.
I was contacted by Frontgate, an online store that outfits some of America's most spectacular homes with their unparalleled merchandise, and they wish to host a giveaway - a gorgeous Berkeley Monogrammed Door Mat:
Frontgate Berkeley Monogrammed Mat
Retail value is $80 - $160, depending on the size you choose if you win.
As luck would have it, the Frontgate catalog arrived a few days ago with this image on the front:
I took those lovely colors and created today's project - card measures 4-1/2-inches square.
Memory Box Chloe Stem die, Strano ribbon, Bazzill Card Shoppe paper (candy corn, banana split, robin's egg, butter mints); patterned paper is 7gypsies.
You have this week to enter - giveaway will be closed 7pm EDST Friday, September 7th; product ships from Frontgate to the winner and will be drawn using the random number generator. Good luck and happy Labor Day!















We just installed a new front door and this rug would be a lovely addition to our front entrance. Thanks for the giveaway and a chance to win.
I love the colors in your card and how you used the die as a focal point.

Wow! Love your card and especially your use of the die--off the mat and continued below. And the colors are lovely. Looks like I need to be on the Frontgate catalog mailing list.

What an elegant doormat! That's a definite Must-Have. I've bookmarked Frontgate's website. I just couldn't help myself.

Cool card! Gotta love that card stock - I still can't decide what color, but will need to make up my mind SOON. Christmas is coming! What a gorgeous mat! We spent (off and on) the Labor Day Weekend staining the back decks. Thanks for a chance to win a mat that would look so lovely with the new stain color!

The cards are beautiful. I loved the Fall scene on the catalog. The door mat is gorgeous, I am not sure that my house can live up to such class. Thanks for the chance at elegance.

I love the way you put your cards together! And that door mat is just lovely. I checked their website and it is nice that it isn't such a thick one. Maybe my door would actually open over it! Thanks for the inspiration, Cindy.
