December Mid-month Inspiration!

Now even though we know you are all very busy as we head into Christmas, don't forget to take a couple of hours time out for yourself (and do some scrapping, of course!) Our mood board challenge is the perfect way to recharge your batteries before continuing on with that seemingly endless "To Do" list! ;)

Here's a reminder of the board...


And don't forget this month's prize is a "Secret Santa" prize from members of our Design Team!

Now here are some more stunning samples from our DT to get you motivated...

Some gorgeous entries have already been linked up on the blog, but we'd love to see more! Don't forget our Design Team have a "Secret Santa" bounty in store for this month's winner, so be sure to get your entry linked up before the end of the month!
Happy scrapping! :)
