Papercrafts and a Giveaway!

The giveaway at the end of this post has been completed. Click here to see the latest giveway on my blog from Moms Unite.

I have paper on the brain this week!


My cheapo botanical prints are being highlighted by Rachel at Small Notebook today during the Holidays by Hand Festival.


Holidays by Hand is a six-part blog festival to promote your handcrafted holiday projects! Each Tuesday, the festival will focus on a different theme. This week the theme is papercrafts.



And speaking of papercrafts...Did you see the little silhouette project that I did yesterday? Well, it is going to be put to shame by the beautiful silhouette artwork and stationery from our featured etsy seller, Le Papier Studio.



She designs and prints the most beautiful stationery and artwork.



The designs are simple and striking and oh-so-stylish.



They can all be personalized too.



I have my eye on one of these sweet silhouettes. She does custom silhouette work too!



So what's the giveaway? A set of 16 personalized Christmas cards from her holiday line. You choose the picture and you choose the message!



You know the drill, right? Go visit Le Papier Studio and leave me a comment telling me which of her beautiful products is your favorite. And if you can't resist doing a little shopping while you're there, that's even better! Le Papier Studio is one of our shops in the Moms Unite Shopping Guide.

Would you like to add the button for the Moms Unite Shopping Guide to your blog? Grab the code here!

    Thanks so much for sharing about Holidays by Hand. I loved your leaf prints!

    This stationary is beautiful. I think I like the name cards the best.

    I like the botanical thank you card set. I just discoved etsy but it is a little overwhelming so this is great to go directly to a site like this.
