I Love a good nordic pattern, and Lauren has a set of Christmas cards that are just adorable!

Tigerprint, Christmas Papers and ABSPD

Hi All,

its another one of them posts, where I share everything in one go, when really I should be sharing it bit by bit and making you all come back time after time.

Except.....

 I just don't have the time to blog constantly....

I have a house to run...

 3 children under my wings...

and I'm attempting (Slowly) to get my brand name off the ground.

So you'll just have to deal with one big blog post every other day.....

hope thats okay?



Heres what I've been up to:





This was an awesome achievement, I worked hard on this competition, and I cannot wait to get started on editing this design into a new collection. There were lots of amazing entries and the winner and runners up were very deserving of their titles. 

Free Scrapbook Papers:

My Mother-in-law shared some cards and gift boxes that she made using my latest collection of scrapbooking papers...

they are FREE...

Get them HERE










aren't they FAB? 

What else have i forgotten???
