Hello again, 

It's time for a new challenge over at Midweek Magnolias today and our theme is Song Birds (Song inspiration) but not Happy Birthday

I went with a classic from Led Zeppelin

Takes me back to the old 'Top of the Pops' days lol

Tilda with wrapped heart, painted with distress inks,

Magnolia sentiment

Magnolia Santa

Good morning :)

I hope you are well. It's a bit dull here this morning, I can't believe I had to put the light on to see the keyboard, oh well it's only 8.30 maybe it'll brighten up.

I made this card Magnolia Santa with presents as I love this Santa, it was a bit strange painting him in blue but I think it suits him :)

I've used Pion papers, an LOTV sentiment, the gorgeous new JOY snowflake dies and I machine stitched around my image

and from The Ribbon Girl I used...

5mm Faux Hessian Natural Ribbon, 13mm Rusty Jingly Bells, Anemone Vintage Blue Cotton Paper Flowers and Stickles Stardust. 

I ruffled up the Hessian and stitched it, then sewn the jingly bells to the bottom, just to make it a bit different.
