Me a Guest Designer for a Magnolia DT!!!

Wow can you believe that post title !! I've read it a hundred times and I still can't believe it! But yes it's true - I'm a Guest Designer for a Magnolia Design Team!

Look I even have the badge to prove it!!

This little beauty will be taking pride of place at the top of my sidebar after today, probably staying there FOREVER!!
My Tilda Christmas card that I made just for fun a few weeks ago was chosen in the top 3 at 
and it also came with a Guest Designer spot which I will be eternally grateful for lol
The theme for this challenge is

Magnolia Christmas 
Without Tilda or Edwin 

and this little Santa was my favourite in its release,
 goodness knows how many years ago now!!

It's been easy making Christmas cards with this crazy weather, not a lot of motivation needed other than the snow out the window.
The papers are Carta Bella and the sentiment stamp, flower and mistletoe dies are all from Magnolia. I stuck a few beads on the mistletoe to make it more dimensional and I'm pleased with how it came out.  I cut Santa out and mounted him on glue gel so he sits quite 'high' on the card, at first I masked him on the bench but I didn't like that as much.

I hope you will pop over to the Time For Magnolia blog to see the beautiful cards created by the DT and I would like to thank them for letting me GD for this challenge.

That's it from me, I'm working today and all weekend but I have a post scheduled for Monday as its the 1st of a new month already!! Enjoy your Easter weekend and don't forget to put your clocks forward tonight.

Love 'n' Hugs Laurie xx

I'd like to enter this into the following challenges
