I hope you are all keeping well and if you are snowed in keeping warm! My poor Daughter Claire has been through the mill this last week. Baby Isabella had her tonsils and adenoids removed and ear drums drained which then resulted in a secondary infection caught in hospital so Isabella has been so poorly. Resulting in us all having to travel miles each day to the hospital. Then hospital's being healthy places Claire and I caught a virus in there so I am now on the steroids again with asthma and poor Isabella is still unwell I am willing her to recover it is just so sad to see her suffering. So I really hope that you are all managing to step away from the virus!
Today I have made a Christmas card using one of the latest Magnolia released Merry Little Christmas Collection stamps. I have coloured Tilda with distress ink pads stamped with versafine black onyx onto Waterford 140lb 300gsm hp paper. The background has been distressed with pumice stone and I have edged this and everything else on the card with walnut stain. The cuttlebug snowflakes I have painted with pewter crackle paint. The stickle glue is star dust. The leaves are a martha stewart punch.
The circles are nestablities and the borders are a Magnolia Lace die. I have used Cosmo Cricket rub ons for text and snowflakes. The ribbon is binding tape.
Thank you so very much for your visit. Also, just a reminder that Magnolia have now started a very special Christmas blog hop for the whole of December starting on their new delicious looking blog. So if you want to get involved and have a chance of winning some Magnolia prizes please do go and check it out!

Hello Kim,
Oh bless, I feel for you all at this time especially with the weather to boot. My word you all seem to have gone through the mill lately with Luca and Isabella, I can totally relate with my own boys as youngsters...
But I can tell you, I know you all will find the strength to endure, its in our nature...
No words can really be expressed properly from sending this comment but I am totally understanding of your feeling at the moment.
My eldest is closer to you than me right now, stranded on the Isle of Sheppey. He is down there doing his training for his new job....
I totally adore your card Kim
I have been the worse blogger lately with family stuff but the odd moment I have had to myself I have been trying new things and even making the time to do some colouring with distress inks. With my Son going away from home to train for his new job I can't seem to finish a card...and my commenting has been all over the place...I can't concentate at all....
I hope to hear all is well in your next post, don't worry about blogging right now
Big hugs to you all

Vicky
what a beauty Kim!!
Oh Kim, it sounds like your poor family are going through the mill at the minute. My thoughts and prayers are with you all. This weather won't have helped with travelling either I'm sure.
Your card is stunning as always. I think you need this little Magnolia Angel to watch over you all.
Take care and big hugs
