So, once again I’m behind in my calendar pages! All I can say is “tis the season”!
I’ve said it before, but Thanksgiving is my all-time favorite holiday …
LOTS of good food, family and friend and NO gifts required!
So, I tend to prep for days beforehand.
Buttttttttt, I was able to squeeze in time for two quick Magnolia cuties …
(I swear they call my name.) LOL
The first is JINGLE JANGLE TILDA from the Magnolia-licious store (my fav place to shop for these cuties!)
As you can see, I’ve had way too much fun with this one … added some real mini jingle bells, a small red button on her slippers, gold Stickles and teeny, tiny red ribbons! Thought I’d share a quick closeup for you to see the details …
The layout for this card is from my VERY favorite Sketch Design blog … deconstructing jen,
the deconstructed Sketch No. 78:
My second card features this adorable TILDA WITH CHRISTMAS PUPPY … a gift from Magnolia with the purchase of the 2012 Christmas edition of Magnolia Ink!
For this card, I’ve followed the deconstructed Sketch No. 77 …
And, another quickie pic to show you my usual layering for cardz … LOTS of detailed cutting!
So, I’ll be off for the next few days getting ready for the holiday.
I truly hope those of you in the US have a wonderful day with family and friends.
