Retiring my name, for a new one :)

2011-06-08T00:36:00.000+01:00

Hi everyone.
So I've decided after much deliberation to change my design name. This has been a long time in the making I've wanted to change it since the very beginning but I put it off over and over. Now's the time to make the change and have a fresh start for my designs too.

I want to thank everyone for their support and ask you please to follow me on my new adventure as...

sophie loves design

My Polly & Rufus store is now 50% off and all the remaining items in there will be retired as of next week so grab them while you can.

Please stick with me and follow me at the following spots....

& of course there will be celebratory freebies coming in all of those places ;)

Thanks again xoxo

Overflow with Beauty {Charity Collaboration}

Overflow with Beauty

{A Charity Collaboration}

by Mscraps and 9th & Bloom.

Beauty is an all-pervading presence. It unfolds to the numberless flowers of the Spring; it waves in the branches of the trees and in the green blades of grass; it haunts the depths of the earth and the sea, and gleams out in the hues of the shell and the precious stone. And not only these minute objects, but the ocean, the mountains, the clouds, the heavens, the stars, the rising and the setting sun all overflow with beauty. The universe is its temple; and those people who are alive to it can not lift their eyes without feeling themselves encompassed with it on every side. William Ellery Channing

The floods in Pakistan have created more devastation than most of the worlds recent natural disasters. This collaboration between the designers of Mscraps and 9th & bloom is in aid of Unicefs appeal all proceeds will go to Unicef.

Check it out in the store!

Or donate directly to unicef here.

Have a wee look on the Mscraps Blog for something special!
