Magnolia-licious blog hop

Welcome to our BLOG HOP!!

We decided to have a surprise Blog Hop over at Magnolia-licious Challenge Blog and there is a great prize involved, which is Pop Up Box #2, from Farm to Market. This box is full of various stamps, dies and laces. The theme is from Farm to Market from Magnolia Sweden.

To have a chance to win this amazing prize you need to do the following ...

You will need to go to each person to get details of their makes, and collect the 1 red letter on each blog as well as leave a comment. When you have finished looking at them all, Maya is the last stop, collect her 1 red letter and figure out what Christmas word we have scrambled and comment the answer on Maya's post (that's ME).

Here is the list of people participating in the hop:

Ivy Ling

Kerri Boucher

Karen Balcanoff

Rosette Camilleri

Rene Bowen

Maya Go - you are here

For the hop I created this mini loaded envelope.

I decorated the envelope with some papers and embellishments from my stash.  Once the envelope was finished I filled it with some crafty goodies, tags and some yummy hot chocolate. :D The Christmas ornaments image is from Magnolia and I coloured it with distress inks. It's an old image, so unfortunately Shawn doesn't have it in the store anymore, but there are many other gorgeous Christmas images from Magnolia available in the store, including the new Christmas party collection 2017. :)

The tags I put in the pocket are made with Doohickey die. You can find a large selection of doohickey dies in Magnolia-licious store.

And here's my envelope "unloaded".

The sentiments on the tags are old Stampin' up rub-ons. 

And just another side view. ;)

You should have come here from Rene's blog. If you are just starting the hop, you are at the last stop, so you better check out all the other posts if you fancy winning a wonderful prize from Magnolia-licious.

Remember, to be in for the win of the blog hop, you must leave a comment on each person’s blog, and guess the correct word on THIS post.

You have til midnight on Sunday, 17 December, to complete the hop. And you can check back on the Magnolia-licious Challenge Blog to see who the winner is on Monday, 18 December.

Good Luck to everyone and have fun!!

Merry Christmas,

Love from,

Ivy, Kerri, Karen, Rosette, Rene, Maya, Shawn, and Kim

P. S. Comment moderation is ON, so if you don't see your comment don't worry. I see it. ;) I will publish all the comments before the hop ends.

Loaded envelope

Hello! Today I would like to share with you my first loaded envelope. I've been wanting to make one of these for a while, so I was very happy when Fiki was interested in doing a loaded envelope swap with me. Yay! :D Thanks Fiki! She's already received the envelope I made for her, so it's safe for me to post it here. :)

We decided to keep the theme of the envelope "anything goes" and this is what I made.

And another front view from the side ...

I had lots of fun making this. I used beautiful and elegant papers from Scrapworks and added some yellow embellishments to make the envelope more "fun" and less boring. I won't go into details about what's inside in this post. If you want to see this envelope "unloaded" (empty), please check out the video below. And if you have any questions, feel free to ask. :)

Have a wonderful day! xx
