Tinker's First Award

Wow. i ment to blog this a few days ago, but as ever time has just run away with me yet again. A big thank you to Vicki, for giving Tinker & Co's blog their first award, that was so nice and a gave a well needed up lift. Thank you vicki.
Now after a little digging i discovered i have to give this to 10 fellow bloggers, It does seem such a shame to give it to just 10 of you as there are so many wonderful talented people out there, so i'm going to share with it all this month.



I also wanted to share a few more cards from our design team, this time zoe Has produced some Stunning cards with the new Elisia pack.

You can find the pack here

More coming soon, and some big news to!!!
