Hi everyone and welcome to Day 8 of the Magnolia Christmas Calendar and it's my pleasure to be hosting today with your chance to win a big prize from Magnolia! Each day of December a new window will be opened on the Calendar and your starting point is the Magnolia Inspiration Blog where each day you'll be directed to the next calendar page and a creation from a member of the Design Team, I hope you've joined in so far, my team mates have made some very beautiful Christmas projects.
Here's my framed Christmas scene with Edwin off to deliver some Christmas presents and Tilda bringing home the small Christmas tree :). My image is coloured with pencils and I've masked the scene with Edwin and the Christmas door from the current Sweet Christmas collection and Tilda with fir tree and the trees background stamp from the older Christmas collections. The snowflakes are cut from glitter card with punches and the Magnolia DooHickey snowflake and attached after painting my frame with matte white paint.
I'm taken back with this little scene to the old style advent calendars I shared with my Sister when we were little, you opened the window each day to find the little scene inside. We had to take turns opening the window and we were very excited about it, so it's a little bit different these days now that there's a calendar for each child and chocolate or a present too :D.
Please leave a comment to be in with a chance of winning the gorgeous prize from Magnolia. Only one entry for each person please so that we keep the Christmas spirit :) and I will randomly pick a winner and announce it on Friday. Also please contact me as soon as possible if you're the winner so that I can pass your details to Magnolia.

Oh Wow Chris, this is stunning, your colouring is exquisite as ever and I love the scene you have created with some gorgeous maggies.

Marie-Anne
This is so beautiful Chris. Your colouring, the scene, the frame. You can look at it all year long. When I was a little child I did never have an adventcalendar, but my daughter did. She loved the candy and could never wait every day. But your scene is so beautiful, indeed as in the old stories and is perfect for a nice Christmas story in a book about Tilda and Edwin's adventures I think. Perheaps the next step for Magnolia??? Who knows.
First story I give you........
Perhaps Edwin has in his hands my present for under the Magnolia tree in my house and brings it to the postoffice to send it to the Netherlands. Surprise...surprise.....I won tuesday Yings candy, so I let you know, that I don't give an email- address now. It would not be fair to others. Thanks for sharing your super nice creation Chris.
Greetings Henny.

This is GORGEOUS... but then your work usually is. =) I do love that frame, and something about the way you've put the images together just reminds me of Christmas when I was little. It always snowed at Christmastime and it seemed so much less commercialized and modern. Beautiful!

Magnifique carte bravo !
Hi Chris dear,
A bit late finding this beauty.
Your coloring is incredible. I love the brightness and the doorway looks so inviting. I love the color of the timber wall. The beautiful blue carpet inside. The little dots of snow falling. I could go on and on.
It is adorable and so is the frame it is in.
Your pencil coloring is fantastic. I would never have thought you used pencils. The colors are so vibrant.
Hugs Maz
