Perhaps the upcoming New Year is where your heart is at these holidays. Or maybe you'll be missing someone especially when the ball drops and you want to make sure to wish them the happiest of new year beginnings. Whatever the case, we have found a few special cards to ring in the new year with. Check them out below!

This post is in partnership with Scotch™ Brand and Post-it® Notes. Scotch™ Brand products work the first time, every time.

Planning for an event whether it's a trade show, company holiday party or family reunion, can be a real undertaking – especially when it comes to gathering everyone’s ideas. A brainstorming session can get the creative juices flowing while allowing everyone to feel included in the outcome. I've never left a session uninspired and if I'm being honest – secretly love doing them. I'm always surprised with what people come up with, even if the sessions only involve two people.

We're excited to be partnering with Scotch™ Brand on a few unique projects this fall and love how perfect the Post-it® Notes work when it comes to brainstorming. Of course, there are many ways one can generate ideas – see a few ways we like to brainstorm below.

I love adding a bit of holiday decoration to the kitchen, and one of my go-to spots for inspiration is IKEA's home blog, Livet Hemma. The stylists there have a dream job thinking up what to create and they really do the most amazing work. So I headed over there this past weekend searching "jul" and "kok" and found heaps of inspiration. Here's a few that caught my eye.

1. Blue Hues + Evergreen
(Above) Blue hues with evergreen make for a dramatic backdrop —love the string of decorations along the wall above the counter. Also of note, the blue colour blocking backsplash —a great idea if you can't afford to tile yet.

It's Cyber Monday and being fans of indie shops and all that they stand for, we just want to give a shout out to some of our favourite online indie makers and shops out there. Not sure if all of them are offering cyber deals, you'll have to check each individual shop to find out, but some of them are mentioning sales in there instagram accounts. Check them out below or check back here often as we update this post throughout the day as we see them!

I've always admired those with a green thumb, like my dear neighbour who is still dropping off things from her garden (this week), like kale and swiss chard. Watering is key, as we all know, but I think there is a magic touch. So with those special people in mind, here's a few ideas for that special plant lady in your life.

When do you start decorating for the holidays? We heard people who start decorating early, are usually happier. Not that we're unhappy, but we're definitely on the later train this year. With that in mind, I've been bookmarking holiday decor inspiration finds on Instagram as of late, and thought, you, like us, might need some inspiration too? If so, check out a little round-up of our decoration finds holiday style!

1. Swan Window Display
A big fan of @junkaholique and their shop @rustjewellery and so of course, now smitten with their new holiday-inspired window display at @rustjewellery in Yarmouth, UK.

Keeping with the holiday trend this week, and adding to our previous post on holiday cards, here are a few adorable Hanukkah cards that passed by our radar. Our ladies at Hello Lucky came up with this adorable headliner above. And other finds from the folks at Red Cap Cards, Anemone Press and Modern Mitzvah . Check them out below!

It's one of our favorite times of year to gather up all of the beautiful cards that are new in the paper goods world and create a post or two to help kick off the beginning of the holiday season. Today we start with a selection of lovely ones we found online, we hope you'll like as much as us! (Stay tuned for Hanukkah and New Year's also)! Let's take a look!
