Here is my project sharing for today. The project is a Winter Holiday Candle Wrapper and a Mini Tag card set.  I bought a jar of scented candle the other day and it looks so plain, so I decided to make a decoration wrapper to decorate it.  I also make a mini tag card to go with it too. Please scroll down for additional details.

Here is my finished project.  I picked the stamps from the Winter Wonderland Collection.  I used North Pole Tilda for the jar of scented candle.  On the mini card, I used Peaceful Christmas Tree and Merry Christmas Text is frame with the Joyful Banner stamp.

Hot Air Ballnoon Magnolia Tilda and Edwin Wedding Center Piece

Good morning everyone.  Thank you for stopping by for this is a pre-scheduled post.  Today is my nephew Victor's wedding and I am currently in San Francisco attending his wedding. Congratulations to VICTOR & JOCELYN!!! I am going to share with you a centerpiece I made for them.  This project actually took me a LONG time.  I bought this Hot Air Balloon template from Sandra's Scrapshop.  This shop has so many cool templates, so I am sure you will have fun checking it out.  I actually finished this balloon for a while, but had a hard time choosing my stamp to use for this project, so I sort of half finished, then left it on my craft desk for a while before I picked it back up to finish it off.  Good thing that the Special Moment Collection has the Doo Bee Pops Bride Tilda, I used it embellish the top part of this project, then I found the Loving Bridal Couple Stamp (the Mini one is still available)  to fit inside the balloon.

Closer view to show you the Mini Doo Bee Pops Bride Tilda and the sentiment.

Here is a closer view to show you the mini sand bags.  I used some white felt, and used a glue gun to put them together, then tied a ribbon after.

Here is the Tilda with Cat ornament inside the gift box.

Surprise - Wicked Tilda Ticket Holder Box

Good morning everyone.  This post is specially dedicated to my husband and my daughter.  First I would like to say HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY HUSBAND EDDY.  He grow a year older today :o)

Ok, now onto my post. My 12 year old daughter loves the broadway songs and the book of "Wicked".  She always wanted to watch it and even asked many times for us to bring her to see this broadway show in New York.  Going that far to New York is impossible for us at the moment.  Since she begs for so long, one day, I decided to check if this show will come play a little closer around our area.  Finally I found one in Seattle.  Although it's still quite a few hours drive for us from where I live in Canada, I went to discuss with my husband.  We came to a decision of getting the tickets online without telling our daughter about the show, but instead told her we are going to Seattle to spend a day to celebrate daddy's birthday (My husband's birthday is today).  In fact, we surprised her by bringing her to the broadway Wicked show in Seattle (which happened last night).  I even made a ticket holder box for these tickets.

 

Here is the picture of my excited daughter when she got this suprise present from us

 

When the tickets arrived in the mail, I checked these tickets' sizes and made this box to tuck the tickets inside for her.

I am also using this box for the following challenges:
Tilda's Town Challenge #27 - Anything Goes
Sweet Pea Stampers November Challenge - Gifts
Lady Anne's Challenge Oct/Nov Challenge - Sentiment/anything Goes
Fairy Tale Challenge #54 - Embossing
Inspire Me Friday #85 - Anything Goes

I picked Tilda with Spiderweb that I bought from Magnolia-licious for this box, but of course you can pick any TILDA or EDWIN for any other themes to give away. Also be sure to check out the colored images that the DT did for the Magnolia Christmas Story collections and the Nativity Collection.  They are so cute and great to use them for Christmas theme project.  (maybe you can give someone a broadway show tickets as a Christmas present, lol)

I also got this sentiment embellishment (which has the word' Halloween' at the bottom, but I punched it out) for the box.

Inside view of this box

Here are the tickets to tuck inside the box

Here is the bottom of this box

Thank you for stopping by for this post.  See you soon for another sharing later :o)
