Christmas Greetings from Tilda

I was so happy when Michelle at Scrapbooking and More asked to be a part of her store design team and help promote all the fabulous products she has in the store!
She stocks all my favorite brands and brings in new goodies all the while.
If you sign up for her newsletter you get to have the news on new products and promotions right away (and she sends out great coupon codes too!)
I made this super Tilda card using a stamp from last years Holiday Collection to tide me over until Michelle gets in the new ones!
