I can explain….

can you really now??? lol

Edwin is from the new Magnolia Winter kit…I’m sure he’ll be available soon at 7Kids. The fireplace and Christmas words are by Magnolia, from the So Jolly and Under the Mistletoe collections and purchased from 7Kids. I cut out that piece with a nestabilities die. I colored him with copic sketch markers and the pattern paper is from My Minds Eye. The sentiment, “dear santa” is another new stamp from Printworks Collection.

The snowflake is a Sizzix originals die, the stamp is from CC Designs, the glitter on the snowflake is from a set of Martha S. glitters, the taffeta ribbon is from Stampin Up in white and I colored it with copic sketch marker G85, and yes, I snuck in that pine needle border punch again from Martha S!!!
