Merry Christmas from our Family to Yours

Good Morning Dear Blog Friends,

It is time for a NEW CHALLENGE at

MAGNOLIA-LICIOUS CHALLENGE BLOG

You are going to love

EULANDA'S CHALLENGE!

She has chosen "PINK CHRISTMAS"

and here is her photo:

I think it is just GORGEOUS!

I wish, I wish, I could have such a thing!

For my card today I have chosen # 395 Tag Gifts Tilda

She is from : A CHRISTMAS STORY COLLECTION 2012

Here she is:

I am sorry for the bad shadow in the picture.

I have used SU Card Stock Whisper White, Pretty in Pink

and Bashful Blue.

The Design Paper is from NitWits and is

called - Merry and Bright.

( Thank goodness for NitWits! )

Dies are all from Magnolia, bought at

DIANA'S STORE

as is my Tilda Stamp :o)

I have used the two brand new snowflakes

dies and the very first tag to come out.

Tilda and the snow flakes on the front

of the card have been mounted with

dimensional tape.

The lace and pearls are a wonderful treat for me 

from: Recollections at Micheals.

Candy canes, pink ribbon and pink

jingle bells are all from my stash.

I also added Twinklets to the oval 

that Tilda stands in, but first I used Tim Holtz

Antique Linen and did the sides of the oval and tag.

Here is a  bit closer view:

CELEBRATE

Good Morning Friends

How are you all doing this month?

I do hope you are all well,

and have decent weather.

We had snow Saturday night and

most of Sunday!

We are now back to rain - thank goodness.

Today is a new COLOUR CHALLENGE

by our dear Eulanda.

It is a very different one than usual.

We all enjoyed it!

Eulanda would like to see

Stickles or Glitter on our cards :o)

I put Glitter Ritz everywhere!!

( Thanks Eulanda! )

Every piece of paper is edged in glitter.
Tilda's ruffles are glittered.
The whole die cute is glittered.
Her shoes are even glittered a bit!

Here she is:

I have used #315 - Tilda Learning to Dance,

from the * TURNING LEAVES COLLECTION *

My card stock is from SU = Riding Hood Red 

and Old Olive.

My design paper is very old: it

is from: Upsy Daisy Designs

and is called 

'A Walk in the Park'.

Tulle is from my stash - 

sentiment from SU - and I made

the pearl pin.

Here is a closer view of the pin and sentiment :

Of course we must see a close up of Dear Tilda!

Here is the inside:

Hope you like it?

Please come and join us for this great Challenge.

Your Design Team has made the most marvellous cards!

Oh did I have fun on Saturday evening.

I went shopping at DIANA'S STORE!!

She has so many things on SALE right now.

I was able to get all the MINI MAGNOLIA STAMPS
 and SENTIMENTS that I had wanted.
The MINI STAMPS are only $4.99 the SENTIMENTS
only $2.99 AND I bought my second and most
needed MINI STAMP STORAGE SYSTEM
for $10.00!!!!
The regular price is $23.99 that is
a savings of 58%!!!!

Did you know you get discount pricing
for any dollar amount spent?! 

DIANA has in the brand
**NEW NATIVITY COLLECTION**
in her store right now.
IT IS ABSOLUTELY DELIGHTFUL.
Magnolia has never put out stamps
like this before, and I doubt will
ever do it again!
I can think of dozens of ways
I would like to use these special stamps
at Christmas time.
You must take a look at them :o)

************

I can't thank you enough for looking at my work
and leaving your wonderful comments.
It means so much to me!!

Love, Candy
