Sending Love To You For Just Magnolia and hAnglar and stAnglar Challenge

Hello Everyone!  I'm so excited to be hosting my very first Just Magnolia and hAnglar and stAnglar Challenge.  When I was asked to pick a theme, the first thing that came to my mind was a Doily. Doilies remind me of handmade Valentine's, hearts and love, so I thought it would be the perfect theme for this time of year.  All you need to do is add a doily - store bought, die cut or crocheted to your project along with a Magnolia or hAnglar and stAnglar image.  It would make me so happy if you could join me and the rest of the talented Design Team for this week's challenge. Your entry will give you an opportunity to be the winner of one of this week's wonderful prizes from Jacobi NL and The Ribbon Girl.  We are so lucky to have two of  The Ribbon Girl Design Team members joining in on the challenge as well!

For my card, I used We R Memory Keepers - Love Struck Design Papers. Tilda Sending Love, from Magnolia-licious was colored with Alcohol Markers, Prismacolor Pencils and Gamsol. This Tilda is one of my favorites from the Sweet Crazy Love Collection.  I think she is so cute!  I love her curly hair! The heart doily is from Wilton that I found at Michaels. The flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts, Recollections and from my stash.  The vine was cut with a Bosskut Die.  The crocheted lace is from JoAnns. The pearls are from Hero Arts.  And, the stitched ribbon is also from my stash!

Thank you so much for stopping by today!! I really do appreciate it!! Have a wonderful weekend! I'm looking forward to watching the Academy Awards on Sunday with a big bowl of popcorn.

Big Hugs,
Suzan

Mini Magnolia Valentine's Day Cards and Treats

Hello Everyone!  Like I promised, here are the Valentine's Day Cards, Pillow Box and Lollipop Cover that I made for CHA.  I was asked to make them using  Magnolia Mini World Stamps from Magnolia-licious.  While making the cards and treats,  I realized how much I love these little cuties!! Instead of making the usual 6" square cards, I made 3 1/2" square cards.

I think this size is just perfect for a little Valentine Greeting for someone special!

For the With Love Card, I used Digi Papers from Design House Digital - Kate Teague Valley of Love Papers. The Mini Tilda With Heart was colored using Alcohol Markers, Prismacolor Pencils and Gamsol. The scalloped heart was cut using CC Designs Cutter Big Hearts Embossing Die.  The saying is from the Valley of Love Elements. The scalloped border is from  EK Success.

For the Puppy Love Card, I used Digi Papers from Nitwit - From the Heart Collection. The Mini Tilda with Puppy was colored using Alcohol Markers, Prismacolor Pencils and Gamsol.  The large scalloped heart was cut using Nestibilities Classic Hearts and Classic Scalloped Hearts. The heart border is from EK Success. And, the love brad is from Basic Grey.

Here are the Valentine's Day Pillow Box and Lollipop Cover.  The pillow box is from Wilton.
I found the directions for the lollipop cover here. I decorated both using Digi Papers from Nitwit - Val'n Tine Collection. Mini Tilda with the String of Hearts was colored using Alcohol Markers, Prismacolor Pencils and Gamsol. The scalloped rectangular mats behind Tilda were cut using the Cricut - Elegant Edges Cartridge. The heart border is from EK Success. They were so easy to make and would be great for a school party, birthday party, or just to make for blogging friends!


Thank you for stopping by! I hope you have a wonderful week!  Please come back this Friday. I'll have my Just Magnolia and hAnglar and stAngler Challenge Card and some Valentine's Candy for a lucky follower!

Big Hugs,
Suzan
