Winter Wonderland...

Hi sweet friends!! Thank you sooooooo much for stopping by for a visit!! I can't believe it's time for another challenge at Magnolia-licious Challenge Blog!! It seems like just last week that we had the "pink, blue, & green" challenge!! Oh wait...it WAS just last week!! Whew! I feel better now that I figured that out. I know time flies as we get older, but I really was afraid I'd fallen asleep and lost an entire week!! So...here's the deal...we're having this challenge a week early (Dec. 14th)...and it ends on Jan. 10th! That'll give us all a little extra time to craft AND celebrate the holidays with family and friends!!

This challenge is an "Inspiration Challenge". We have a beautiful photo submitted by Chrissy Le for our inspiration. Here it is...


Be creative and see what comes! I was struck by the serenity and peace of the falling snow...so that's what I went with. Tilda sitting on her sled...with glittery snow and snowflakes here, there, and everywhere!!


Here are a couple of side-views...




And, of course, an "artsy" shot...

Here's what the inside looks like...
