Christmas Tags + Funky Trees + New Relics and Artifacts + More

Happy weekend everyone! I'm really excited about this week's goodies. As you can tell, I've got Christmas on the brain, so I designed a bunch of goodies perfect for those handmade gifts we all love to make and receive. Plenty of ornaments, tags, and FUN Cut-Outs. I can't wait to play with those Funky Trees, definitely my new favorite!
