Tilda under the Mistletoe at Just Magnolia

Happy Saturday everyone!! I hope that all of you are well and not too stressed out over all of the events, responsibilities, and weather of the season!!!! I know for me it has been wonderful to get out of the house for a day or so...or at least until the next ice arrives!!!! EEEEEKKKKKK!!!!

This week at the Just Magnolia Challenge Blog we are treated to a wonderful and fun sketch by the very talented Mina which I think you will enjoy also. Please note that this challenge will run for 2 weeks, so our next challenge will be on 31st December and will be our Special Monthly Challenge – Anything Goes. I hope you will join with us this week so we can see your interpretation of Mina's lovely sketch!!!

For my DT Sample Card I used Bazzill for the base and all matting and the DP is from Kars Christmas Collection Paper Pad. All major panels were machine stitched and the red panel was crimped before matting. Little Tilda Under the Mistletoe from Magnolia-licious was stamped on Cryogen White, colored with Copics, and cut out with Nesties. On the mistletoe I added Diamond Stickles for the berries. The cookies in her pocket were topped with Glossy Accents and I added tiny gold beads for the buttons on her shoes. For the horizontal I used a red stitched grosgrain ribbon and topped it with an olive satin ribbon, adding a bow with wreath charm dangle. For the floral treatment I used Small White Poinsettias from Wild Orchid Crafts resting on MS punched branches.
The inside is very simple with the same ribbon treatment and a snowman charm and Nestie jotting spot!

Thank you so much for dropping by today and I am hoping that you will want to return often! I wanted to remind all of you about the Sunday Giveaway which we call SUNDAY SENSATIONS from Magnolia-licious which will be up right after midnight on Sunday morning. The giveaway will be up until Tuesday at midnight when the week's winner is announced! So please drop by here and say hello to the little Blue Frog!!! Until the next time, be safe, stay unstressed, and enjoy your weekend...Big hugs!!!

Tilda Wants a Smooch Under the Mistletoe at Friday Sketchers 79

Gosh, we have finally made it to Friday...So Happy Day!! After several days of dreary rain, it finally looks like a delightful weekend here. For those of you who are already having snow...I am NOT envious!! And I know that many of the US folks will be busy this weekend preparing for the upcoming Thanksgiving holiday next Thursday. So I wish everyone a wonderful weekend, wherever you are and whatever you might be doing!!

Friday Sketchers 79 is being hosted this week by the supremely talented and lovely Jeanette from Canada who has provided us with a fun and challenging sketch. We would love for you to visit us at Friday Sketchers to see the sample cards made by the marvelous Design Team Members and then join us this week in sharing your interpretation of Jeanette's sketch. Please be sure to link your posting using MrLinky and then link back to Friday Sketchers in your posting.

For my DT Sample Card, I have used Bazzill for the base, SU for all double matting, and the DP is all Best Creation compliments of Suzan. That darling little Tilda Under the Mistletoe is from the new Christmas Collection and is arriving very soon at Magnolia-licious and she is just darling!!! And who wouldn't want to give her a little smooch with two pockets full of delicious looking cookies????

Tilda was stamped twice and colored with Copics on Cryogen White. One was cut out and propped up on dimensional tape, then adding Diamond Glaze to her shoes (along with mini pearls), cookies, and mistletoe berries. For the horizontal treatment I used red tulle and a ribbon with contrasting dots to the DP underneath. The front was finished off with a couple of pins, dew drops, holly charm and tiny red rhinestones.


The inside is very simple using the same DP and ribbons and with the addition of several simple MS holly and bells stickers.
