IT'S GIVE AWAY TIMEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

AND JUST IN TIME FOR THE HOLIDAYS!
Oh, I feel like Oprah! LOL Seriously! It may not be a new car or a trip to some exotic spot on earth but to us Moms it may as well be!

Recently I was asked to review the FABULOUS cards from Tiny Prints! And let me just say how excited I was! I'd always wanted to order from them. I've seen their advertisements EVERYWHERE! So when I was asked to review their Christmas cards I felt like a kid in a candy store! Once my choice was made I placed my order and to my surprise it was delivered to my door a week later! They were beautiful! And I was so impressed by the weight of the card stock. I'd ordered from other companies in the past and when the card arrived it never quite met my expectations. This time they surpassed my expectations! They were beautiful!

I loved them so much I ordered another design to send out to the rest of my family and friends! This time I picked something a bit different. And again, like clock work they arrived a week later. I am so excited to send out my cards this year!

And one of you will have the opportunity to win a $50 gift code

to use on any item in the

Tiny Prints On-Line Store!

I had the opportunity to talk to the designer a bit and here's what she said!

If you would please tell me a little about how you make your cards and where you find your paper.

For my solid colored cards, I purchase the solid colored paper locally at a craft shop. I like the simplicity of using color as the attraction, more than an embellishment. I usually choose colors that are my favorites! It helps that many of my favorites are quite popular right now such as the muted vintage colors like mustard, olive and teal. I also choose colors that make a strike combination, such as pale teal and red. I love bold combos like this but don't often find them because they don't always appeal the majority I supposed, but I think a lot of people like them. I try to carry colors and sizes that I have said to myself "gee I wish I could find this somewhere". If I am looking for it, chances are someone else is too!I have recently, just in the last few months, begun designing my own prints with Photoshop. I create the design and send it to a local printer. When my stacks of original paper are returned, I cut it down on my super amazing paper cutter which can cut almost 2" worth of paper in one fell swoop! After cutting to the size I want, I fold, round, and correlate to a colored envelope, belly band it, pop it in a cello bag and it's ready for my customer:)

How long have you been making them?

I started dabbling around with paper journals about 2 years ago. But in May of this year, I decided I needed to sort of start fresh, with a better shop focus, a new shop name relevant to my work, and better photographs. So I started ThePaperAddict on May 6. And I think it was the best move I have made and am more than satisfied with how well it's going.

What is your inspiration?

Color color color. I love designs too, but I love color. A place like Target or Old Navy is terrible for me because there are soooooo many colors, having such a beautiful assortment of colors in a store like that is enough to make me want to purchase things I don't need, simply because of the colors and even the arrangement of the colors on the shelf. 3 different shades of green towels, all in a row? Don't mind if I do!:)

Tell me about you!

I am 28 years old, recently married to a wonderful hubby who occasional is persuaded to round card corners for me:) We both love photography, good food, cooking and aspire to be self employed someday!

I really hope you all take a jot over to THE PAPER ADDICT & even if you don't win this fun little give away, that you make a purchase! Her prices are amazing!
