WRAPPED UP HOLIDAY CHALLENGE

The Wrapped Up Holiday Challenge

Happy Holidays everyone!  The best thing about the holidays in my opinion is the giving spirit of people, the love of family and friends and YES the holiday decorations and preparations!  Especially for us crafters, its always so much fun to create beautiful gifts, cards and decorations during the holidays.

So Magnolia-licious is going to kick off the holiday spirit with a super fun challenge for you to join in on!  It's called The Wrapped Up Holiday Challenge because of the 2 stamps you will need to use in your challenge projects.  You will need to use BOTH the Unwrapped and Wrapped Mini Tilda's in your projects BUT Magnolia-licious has these for a special bundle price of $8.99 for both HERE!  (there are other Mini's bundled together as well but for this challenge you will need the ones mentioned above)

All the details on how to play are below including the AWESOME PRIZES you can win.  The Magnolia-licious DT will have a fun Blog Hop on Nov. 21st as well to give you all some extra inspiration and bring another fun challenge your way, so stay tuned for that as well!

How To Play:

-you will need to use BOTH the Mini Unwrapped Tilda and Mini Wrapped Tilda  (if you don't have either you can buy them in a special bundle together for only $8.99 at Magnolia-licious here)

-Create a HOLIDAY themed project that is ANYTHING BUT A CARD, using both the mini Tildas as mentioned above  (you can use other Magnolia stamps in addition if you choose)
