The sentiment is from the NEW HOLIDAY CAROLS NOTABLES 4 set designed by Ann Vento and was cut out with the Notables 4 Die. I colored the sentiment with Copics, adding a touch of prisma Glitter for the snowflakes and the border. The front was finished with Red Self Adhesive Rhinestones.

To finish the front I used some gold pearls to soften a couple of corners.

I spent all day yesterday at the hospital where my Auntie was having surgery and what a day!!! Everything turned out in a very positive light and she was able to go home last evening!! I spent the night with her and you know how that disrupts anybody's schedule...BUT she is such a sweetie and felt alot better with me nearby. So, anything to make Auntie happy!!! hahahah In addition, blogger has switched me over to the new template so I am flying by the seat of my pants, not knowing how my blog is going to look...so please bear with me until I figure it all out...lolol

This week at the Just Magnolia and hÄnglar & stÄnglar Challenge we are asked to use SOMETHING NEW which is certainly and easy task since most everything we always use is new...smiles!!! But for my special NEW stuff I used new DP (a lovely gift from a special friend, Bev), a new charm, a new image, and a new wooden snowflake....how's that for NEW???? So please come on over and join in with us--we would love to see your beautiful creations featuring YOUR new stuff!!! And, as always, there is a very nice prize awaiting some lucky participant!!!

The base and double matting are Bazzill, and the DP is from the gorgeous Papermania Home for Christmas paper pack....ohhhhhhhh, I love these papers!!!!! The sweet image is Dancing With Stars Tilda from the new Little Christmas Collection over at Magnolia-licious and isn't she precious!!! She was stamped on X-Press It , colored with Copics and Flexmarkers, adding a touch of Prisma Glitter, and cut it out with SB Ovals. The wooden snowflake is an ornament from Michaels and the swirl is the Magnolia Leaf and Swirl die. For the horizontal I used some green satin ribbon tied into a double flat bow to dangle a Christmas bell charm. All of the flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts: 1 3/8" Trellis Roses, 1" Open Roses and Hip Rosebuds.
