Dear Santa - FFFC #128 Happy Holidays

Hello.  Happy Friday!  Nearly the end of November and it's less than 4 weeks before Christmas...yikes!

It's time for a new challenge at the Fussy and Fancy Friday Challenge.  The lovely Kavitha is hosting this chalenge and our theme is 'Happy Holidays'.  We're being sponsored by Live and Love Crafts.  To get complete details on the challenge, the prize being offered and how you can join in the fun, visit the Fussy and Fancy Friday Challenge blog.  Don't forget to check out the fabulous cards that my DT teammates have created to inspire you to play along with us.

Here's my DT card--I decided to have fun with this one.

And this is how I've decorated the inside of the card.

I found the message to Santa on internet and I thought it was just so darn cute...tee hee.  

Close-ups of these adorable Magnolia images I am featuring:

- Invitation Tilda from the Special Moments Collection 2013

- Divine Tilda from the Waiting for Christmas Collection 2014

Magnolia stamps are available from Magnolia-licious, Diana's on-line store where she carries a large selection of both full-size and mini Magnolia stamps.  And if you don't see the particular one you are looking for, ask Diana if she can bring it in for you.
