Hello sweeties!! I’m so happy you stopped by the blog today!
The votes are in and I’m thrilled to announce the winner of the Paper Sweeties December Inspiration Challenge #26 – ‘Happy Holidays’: Sierra Winters!
Sierra’s adorably sweet mitten with homespun patterned papers, burlap, lace, chipboard and embellies captured our hearts this month! Contact me, Sierra, to claim your gift certificate for a shopping spree and get the challenge details for your Guest Designer spot next month!

Each month on the 1st we will have a brand new inspiration for you to play along with.

It’s as easy as 1-2-3 to create, share and win:
