Midway Reminder at Simply Magnolia-"Anything Goes"

Good Sunday morning dear blogging friends!!

I sure hope that everyone had a MOST WONDERFUL Christmas!!!!

It's been VERY HECTIC here leading up to Christmas...I have to say that I have been VERY remiss in wishing everyone a Merry Christmas and visiting your blogs...SO SORRY!!!

My Aunt's party was a HUGE success...a little bitter sweet BUT she was happy that so many people came out to wish her a Happy Birthday...her actual birthday was Christmas Eve...we ate way to much food laughed lots and a few tears were shed but all in all we had a great time!!! 

Okay onto today's post!!  It's just past the midway point at Simply Magnolia in our "Anything Goes" challenge...you have until noon British time on January 2nd 2016 to enter to win a fabulous prize from The Ribbon Girl or to be chosen in our Top 3!!!

A friend of mine is waiting very impatiently to become a first time Grandma!!!  I thought that I'd make sure I was ready for her arrival!!

Here is what I came up with...

please click on the first image for a closer view/slideshow..

I used one of the fabulous templates from Sandra's Scrapshop...

I have been waiting for a chance to use the "Rocking Chair" template...

I've made a little rocker for a teddy to sit on...

used cheesecloth to make a blanket to drape over the chair...

put it up on a base and decorated...

the DP is Maja from the Vintage Baby 6X6 paper pad...

 I delved into some older Magnolia stamps for sweet Nalle (sorry can't remember which collection)...

coloured with my copics...

and this is "Little Hoppy" from the Hoppy Easter 2010 collection...

also coloured with my copics...

dusted with Glamour Dust...

this banner is cut from the same Maja paper pack...

side view...

I added soother, carriage and angel charms to the stick pin...

the little card is cut from the paper pack as well...

I will add her name when I get all the details...

another angle showing the blanket...

and I couldn't resist another angle...lol...
