SCRAPBOOK - maggie holmes

For our Friday Eye Candy feature we have designs from the upcoming new Scrapbook collection by Maggie Holmes. Featuring papers, stickers, cards and embellishments the new range for Crate Paper is called 'Market Square'. Designed to capture all of the charm of a local street market motifs include florals, vegetables, vintage cameras, pretty buildings and prize winning farm animals. Launching later this month Market Square can be found in some stores on pre-order and will be widely available very soon.
