Magnolia Down Under Challenge #171 Christmas Ornament

Good morning Magnolia Fans!

Welcome back to another fantastic week here at Magnolia Down Under Challenges. 

We have another brilliant sponsor here today, one very close to our heart. 

Please welcome Hjerteboden......

Our DT member Camilla S. started crafting in 2006, and after that the interest has just grown bigger and bigger for each year.
So big, that the interest has actually spread to her husband! 
But he is not making cards yet, just selling the equipment! Something that is very handy for Camilla;) And she also has her says in what goods they lead.
In October 2010 her husband, Bjarne, started the Norwegian web shop Hjerteboden.
He started out small, but now the inventories with beautiful crafting equipment has grown bigger along with more customers.
Hjerteboden aim to have low prices on equipment for cardmaking/scrapbooking,
and to be one of the fastest on delivery.
 Most importantly, they want the customer to have a positive experience of shopping in Hjerteboden.
Therefore they work hard to be among the best with customer care.
Hjerteboden are selling quality products from Ranger, Tim Holtz, Magnolia, Piondesign, Majadesign, Sweet Pea Stamps, Stempelglede, Saturated Canary, Prima, 
Wild Orchid Craft, Making Memories, Italeri, Kort & Godt and Spellbinders.
Hjerteboden are mainly shipping inside Norway, and the web shop is in Norwegian.
But they are happy to help foreign costumers as well.

The prize: Tilda with Tag Gifts
