A Chocolate a day....



Today is the Magnolia-licious October Blog Hop and I'm the last stop on the hop! If you have arrived here from Patti Jo's blog then you're spot on! If you are just dropping by to see my creation and would like to visit the rest of the hop, you can check out the line up here.

Our challenge this month was the idea of the fabulously talented Sharon Caudle and we were challenged to use Dr. Edwin in either regular size or mini. We could also throw in Nurse Tilda if we wanted to. #000 Dr. Edwin is the exclusive image to Diana Crick at Magnolia-licious. There's so much you could do with him. I plan to use him on plenty more cards.

I didn't make a card for this project, but found this neat wooden box that looks like a doctor's bag at Michael's for just $1. I first painted it with acrylic white paint then went over the edges with some Brushed Corduroy crackle paint. I painted the handle of the doctor's bag box with some Lummiere and black acrylic, then I covered both the front and back of the box with some paper I found in my stash.

Well, enough chit chat, here is my Dr. Edwin treat box....



Edwin is popped up over a circle of embossed white card stock backed with some green scalloped edge Certainly Celery card stock. The pearls are from my growing stash thanks to my dear friend in S. A. The flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts except the darker green flat ones, which are from a bucket of Brides Confetti which I also purchased at Michael's. I gave Edwin some scrubs to wear under his jacket.

Here is a look at the inside of the little box...



The little bag of chocolates (Hershey Nuggets covered with a strip of dp) is held together with baker's twine (from stash) and the Magnolia Tilda Lace tag die. I used #307 Mini Nurse Tilda to decorate the bag with. Cute, huh???



Finally, I just stamped my personal stamp and adhered it to the back of the box.



Well, have you had fun and picked up lots of ideas through this blog hop??? I sure hope so, and I hope you'll be making something to share with all of us. Thanks for following the hop all the way to the end...

Blessings and hugs

Barb

  36. What a clever gal you are - love the way you colored Dr. Edwin - he looks so sad Barb - I wonder if his patient is going to make it! You are so creative and I love what you did with this project. Do I have a choice - Tilda's giant hypodermic needle or the candy - hmmmmm - hard decision!!
