Corinne's Place: Christmas All Year Long Blog Hop

Welcome to the first Magnolia-licious Christmas All Year Long Blog Hop for 2011. You can read all about the blog hop HERE. This is my very first time participating in a blog hop and my first Christmas card for 2011. If you've come here from Carissa's Blog, you're right on track. If you just happened to arrive here on your own just click HERE to go back to the start of the blog hop, you don't want to miss any of the fab projects.

Back in December I decided to sign up for the Christmas All Year Long Blog Hop in the hopes that I would have at least 12 Christmas cards made for this year and hopefully some gift tags as well. You could say it was one of my early New Years Resolutions. I just love hand made gifts, don't you! Now on to my card!

My card features two stamps from Magnolia-licious, the adorable Santa Edwin and the Winter Bench stamps. Looks like Diana has the Santa Edwin stamp in stock and the Winter Bench stamp is on re-order. If you don't see what you are looking for just drop Diana an email, she will help you the best she can. If you are interested in the MAGNOLIA-licious Yahoo group click HERE for more information.

I got the idea to make this card using a paper bag from Claudia Rose's Magnolia Blog back in December, click HERE to go to her posting. What a nice way to send a card and small gift all in one.

SANTA CLAUS IS COMIN' TO TOWN

I used the following Copics to color my image:

     Skin: E000, E00, E02, E11, R20
     Hair: E35, E25, E27
   Santa Suit: R35, R37, R39
     Mittens: G85, G94
   Boots: C1, C3, C5,C7
   Bench: E25, E27, E29, E35
     Bench cover: W1, W3, W5

    The paper is from my stash as are the poinsettia's, cherry blossoms and stickers. The fur on Santa's suit is Twinkling Clouds Flocking (I love this stuff). I also used some Crystal Stickles on my card to add some extra sparkle.

    The Sentiment is form the Christmas Carole, "Santa Claus Is Comin' To Town".

Thanks so much for stopping by. Your next stop on the Christmas All Year Long Blog Hop is the very talented Danielle's Blog, who has something fabulous to show you. I am sure you will love it!
