I knew this Magnolia Down Under challenge was coming up and had an idea in my mind of what I was going to do - but this is NOT it - LOL.
Last week I got an email from a wonderful machine embroidery site I like - yup - another of my hobbies - LOL. In the email they had this wonderful tutorial for an embroidered fabric Christmas card mail box. I kept going back to look at the tutorial and decided I should try re-creating it in card! Here's my attempt - don't look too closely I think it needs a little fine tuning - it's about half the size of the fabric one - but let me know if you would like my measurements! I've lined the inside with Chocolate Chip DP and popped some large white beads on for feet. I'm not quite sure what I'll use this for - but at the moment it's gathering lots of compliments by just sitting on my mantlepiece - think I might hide some Christmas treats in there later!There's exciting news at MDUC too - which I forgot to mention last time - naughty DT member!! Kellie has managed to get sponsors for most of our challenges - so not only do you get to have fun, you also get the opportunity to win a prize!!!
This fortnight's fabulous sponsor is Just Scrap and Stamp and we have a GUEST DT member for this challenge too - Tania Just Scrap and Stamp Founder and Owner...

Love this little mailbox Debbie - I was wondering what you were going to make with it when I saw you last weekend, now I know.
It's just gorgeous - love the glitter effect around Tilda's hat and jumper and the flowers and paper you've used are just perfect for the Snowy scene - another masterpiece from your collection!!
Hugs,

So Debbie Machine Embroidery ah that's another thing we have in common!!!!
Love this project b t w I need to add to my Magnolia stamps I think in order to take part in these challenges my ONE stamp would look a bit sad!!!!
Hope you're well
Oh my, is this ever SWEET! What a great gift package this would make, too! But I like the idea of hiding some sweets in there, too. Speaking of which... where is my chocolate hiding. I feel like a nibble!
Love the sweet Magnolia image. Great idea to add the liquid applique.

FABULOUS Debbie! I just love this idea and DP's work so well together. "Plus" I'm LOVING the Snowflake!! Keep up your amazing work and sharing your talent! :)
This is beautiful!! It would make a wonderful hide-away for some candy, or maybe small office supplies, that could be a reason to keep it for yourself, of course, it would make the perfect gift box, a gift in itself!! Love your colouring and the fluffy trim on Tilda, what a fun image, and the papers and your choice of embellishments couldn't be better!!! Thanks for the warm welcome on behalf of MDUC ;)

Debbie, it's fabulous. Blew me away when I first saw your project. And it's so adorable that I think would like to make one too. So yes, yes, share the measurements. Love the colour combo. The glitter looks great and love your flower.
Hugs.
