First, please welcome a returning sponsor; Little Yellow House kits!

Here’s a few words from Marie:

To create with a kit as the base is exciting and challenging, and it has always been a positive experience for me. I have subsribed to different kits from the US and every time they have arrived to my home it has felt like opening a Christmas gift. There has been many times when I have been daydreaming about what I would send… During summer 2009 I decided to turn the daydreaming into reality and Little Yellow House Kits was born. Our mission is to bring creativity to our buyers. The kits concists of hand picked papers and decorations, and we try to give them a seasonal feeling. Our base is in the Northern part of Sweden, but we welcome customers from all over the world.

Please visit us at: http://littleyellowhousekits.blogspot.com or send us an email on littleyellowhousekits@hotmail.com. //Marie – Mison

The winner of this challenge will recieve a wonderful kit from Little Yellow House kits. Thank you Marie!
