Welcome to My Lil Shop at The PaperHaus Magazine

Hello there everyone! Not too long ago I shared, with much excitement, the very happy news of me having snagged a spot at the very new, and extensive, and exciting PaperHaus Magazine! 

With today being my debut appearance on the Design Team, I would like to share a special project, one that I tried making out of my comfort zone, and one that I spent much of my time and love creating. So without further ado, "Welcome to my Lil Vintage Shop" lovely peeps! This project is sooo ideal for a lil girl's room (and I'm going to do just that, put it as a deco piece in my dd's room :))

Thank you PaperHaus for this wonderful opportunity. I am truly looking forward to a creative year together! :) and readers, please drop by the blog to check out the super awesome projects by the DT! I assure you, you'll be inspired! ;)

3) Create window by stamping on transparency and adhere to the frame
