Since today is Friday, that means Just Magnolia time!!! Woo Hoo!! The theme this week is "A Christmas Card". I thought it was time to use this little Edwin that looks like he is sitting on a toilet! He has his reading material in hand too! ha ha! Sorry, but it is true. I am one of these people, that when I buy something I HAVE to use it and this was in the winter kit, so by golly I am using it even if he does look like he is on the toilet.
He has been combined with a stamp from Hanglar and they are colored in distressed inks. The paper is Basic Grey and I stitched all around the different pieces. The poinsettia and pearls are from Wild Orchid Crafts and the snowflake is a Marianne D's. Oh, and the holly leaves are sizzix. I added some Polar White flower soft and Fun Flock to the trimmings of his suit.
I am about Christmas carded out! How about you? I have a few more ideas in mind and then I am moving on. haha! I just had to make sure I had enough to send out to everyone!
Anyhow, thank you again for coming to my little blog and paying me a visit! You are too kind! I really can't wait to see the Christmas cards you make for our Just Magnolia Challenge. The DT have some great ideas on the blog to give you inspiration!
Hugs, Dena
