There are NO requirements or rules and you do not need to be a follower or even put information on your blog about the opportunity if you don’t want to.

A little birdie just told me to tell you to keep your eyes open for the Mini-Maggies arrival---they are on the way!!! Since Diana will be the sole distributor of these little darlings, I'm sure she will let us know just as soon as they make their world debut!!!!

Tilda Brings Packages to Just Magnolia

Happy Saturday everyone!!! Gosh, I hope that everyone in the US survived Black Friday...and everyone outside the US had a marvelous day and week too!!! For those of you who have never heard of Black Friday, it is the first official day of Christmas shopping in the US with sales beginning as early as midnight with people lined up for miles to buy things on sale. I personally am not a Black Friday shopper--internet shopping is my speed!!!!

This week at Just Magnolia our challenge is provided by the very talented Donalda. You can flip and rotate the sketch any way you wish, as long as we can still see the elements of the sketch. You can combine our challenge with any other challenges of your choice and as long as the main image on your creation is a Magnolia stamp, you will qualify to be in the draw for the fab prize. And remember NO back linking, new projects/cards only please. The very nice prize this week is provided by Crafts U Love. So come on over and join in with us this week!!! We would love to see your creations!!

For my DT Sample Card I used Bazzill for the base, PTI Vintage Cream and Spring Rain for all matting, and the cute and sweet DP is Mary by Melissa Frances. All background panels are machine stitched. I used that darling little Tilda with Wedding Gifts from the Wedding Collection over at Magnolia-licious which can be used for any festive occasion, not just for weddings...she is carrying Christmas gifts today...wink!! It looks as though she may not be available right now, but if you would like to have her, contact Diana at Magnolia-licious and I'm sure she will make sure to get her for you. She was stamped on Cryogen White and colored with Copics before cutting her out with rectangular Nesties. The Shopping List is from MF and I gathered and added MF crepe paper to one side. The sentiment is from the Holiday Ticket Sentiments cut out with the Ticket Die, both from Whimsy Stamps. The floral treatment is a Small Flat Gardenia and Cherry Blossoms from Wild Orchid Crafts. To complete the front I added a small flat bow and pearls to soften the corners.

The inside of the card is very simple because I just love this paper and wanted as much of it to show as possible, with the sweet sentiments, cute characters, and lovely script. I only added a double Nestie for a jotting spot, and a knotted ribbon holding a sleigh charm.

Thank you so much for coming by today and I hope you will visit me often! It is always such a joy to see that you have been by! In case you have missed it, I have some SWEET STUFF on the posting below AND tomorrow is another giveaway at SUNDAY SENSATIONS from Magnolia-licious!!! So I hope to see you then! Until the next time, I send big Maggie hugs!!!!

Snowy Hug at Friday Sketchers and SWEET STUFF!!!!

Happy Friday to everyone!!! I hope you have had a marvelous week and are well-prepared for an even more marvelous weekend!!!

This week at Friday Sketchers #130 we are hosted by the amazingly talented Jeanette from Canada who has given us a delightful sketch. We hope you will come over and join with us to show us your interpretation of the sketch and be in for the draw for a great prize from Lauretta's Digital Stamps.

For my DT Sample Card I used Bazzill for the base and all matting and the DP is from the Bo Bunny Winter Joy Collection. I used that cute little Snowy Hug from Magnolia-licious and that darling couple is AVAILABLE at Diana's shop right now!!!!!! These cuties were stamped on Cryogen White, colored with Copics, adding a touch of Liquid Applique and Diamond Dust. For the horizontal I used 1.5" Wired Solid ReversiblePurple Ribbon with the wire removed and for the vertical I used a trimmed panel using the Tilda's Lace Doohickey Die from Magnolia-licious and 5/8" Purple Glitz Ribbon-- both ribbons are from Really Reasonable Ribbon. To complete the front I used purple and white snowflakes from the mini-ornament section of Michaels and purple rhinestones, as well as a flat bow and a dangling silver snowman charm.

The inside just used the same embellies as the front with different configurations of snowflakes.

I hope you like my little creation and will be able to join us at Friday Sketchers this week. We would love to see your card using Jeanette's sketch!! Please visit each of the Sassy Sketcher Girls' blogs and let them know what you think of their magnificent creations!!!
