Christmas at Midweek Magnolia



Good Morning,


It's challenge time again at

Midweek Magnolias

and our theme of course has to be 

CHRISTMAS

Our sponsor is

Magnolia Sweden




You MUST use a Magnolia image, you can use any other 
Magnolia products such as paper, dies, flowers etc if you wish.  
You may only share your project with up to 4 other challenges, 
 that makes it a total of 5 including ours 



I have coloured up this little sweety called Tilda with little Rudolf using my Prismacolor pencils. I've seen a few people colouring on kraft card so I thought I would give it a try, I think I need a bit more practice but I was quite pleased with my first attempts.


Not sure what shape this card is really as it was supposed to be a snowglobe type thing but has kinda missed the mark I think lol. I have used all of the papers from the Pion Design The Night Before Christmas The Stockings Were Hung 6x6 paper sheet & have fussily cut out the stockings.


Thank  you for stopping by & please pop over to the Midweek Magnolias Challenge to see all the gorgeous inspiration from the rest of the DT & join in, you never know you could win that fab prize from Magnolia Sweden.

Greetings from the North Pole


Good Morning,

I'm here to share a slightly different kind of card for me as it doesn't have a hand coloured image. I watched a tutorial by Pamellia Johnson that you can find Here & I just loved what she made so had to have a go myself. 


I have changed the papers as I had this gorgeous Reindeer that I didn't know what to do with & slightly different embellishments.



This lovely deer bauble & most of the embellishments are from Live & Love Crafts as I did buy quite a lot of things from there as they are sadly closing down :-(


I'm so please with how it turned out & will have to make some more like this with all different papers as they are quite quick to make.


Thank you for stopping by, please leave a comment as I love to hear what you think.

Hope you have a lovely day

I have coloured up the super cute Penguins carry the Tree from Whimsy Stamps using Copic Markers

Winter Wendy


Good Morning,

I have coloured up the gorgeous Winter Wendy from the Whimsy Stamps collection of Art by Miran Stamps. I have coloured her using Copic Markers.


All of the flowers & other embellishments are from my rather large stash of goodies that I have now idea where everything comes from, really need to sort everything out.


The papers are from a paper pad that I bought in the Range, love going in there for crafty goodies as they always seem to have something good to buy

Anything Goes at Midweek Magnolia


Good Morning,

I have had to keep this to myself for the past few weeks but now I can shout it from the rooftops. I am the newest member of the Midweek Magnolia Design Team, I was so thrilled to be asked after I applied for their latest DT Call.


Midweek Magnolias

The theme for my first Challenge is .........

Anything Goes using a Magnolia Image



I have coloured up the sweet Tilda with Holiday Sweater with Distressed Markers. I have added a little bit of Wink of Stella to Rudolf's nose.


The papers are from a paper pad that I bought from the Range (they do have some nice papers in there) I thought I would make a different shaped card, it is suppose to be a bauble but I'm not sure it comes across like that. 


Most of the flowers & other embellishments are from Live & Love Crafts 


Our sponsor is

You MUST use a Magnolia image, you can use any other 
Magnolia products such as paper, dies, flowers etc if you wish.

Fabulous Friend


Good Morning,

I have been crafting away again using the newest Crafteezee Collection that Tracy at Noor Designs has put together, you really do get some many fab goodies to play with in these collections.



I have made a slightly different shape card, this one is a 7'x 4' card base as I thought my usual 6' x 6' was a little to compact & I wanted a bit of height.


Thank you for popping by & I hope you have a lovely day

Lori's Gift at Christmas



Good Morning,

It's been a lovely bright frosty morning here today which is a lot better than the wet horrible mornings that we have had for the last few days.

My card for the latest Art by Miran Challenge has that frosty feeling as well so for once the weather fits nicely with my post lol


I have coloured up the super cute Lori's Gift using Copic Markers, I was really pleased with how her hair turned out as I do usually mess up with darker hair.


I have added quite a bit of snowtex & glamour dust for that wintery feeling. 


Thank you for stopping by & please pop on over to the Art by Miran Challenge & see all the wonderful inspiration from the rest of the DT.

Hope you have a lovely day
