My Little Chateaux Card project with supplies list with ribbon bargains, die must haves and more..




The little story behind the kit:

Inspired by my time in France we used to rent a small cottage in Normandy - it was idilic. Some of the rooms in the cottage had fabulous vintage wall paper and on the dining room wall there was a plate mounted on the wall of a blue and cream plate with a little chateaux design on it. I hope you like the collection i have built to recreate some happy memories.


I have made loads of cards with this set and am hoping for a bit of quiet time over the next few weeks to make a Vintage Shabby Chic Memory book to pop some photos in of our holidays there.
