"HELLO SPRING" Magnolia-licious Challenge Blog Hop

Happy Monday my dear friends! Today is not Dr. Monday MD (although my project still uses Mini's) but at the Magnolia-licious Challenge Blog we have a Blog Hop happening! This is not a challenge hop, so there are not prizes to win ....it's just for fun!

If you're starting out here, ooops! Please go back to Suzanne Dean's blog to begin your journey. If you've come from Cathy's  blog then you're in the right spot. Cathy is second in line and I'm third.  From here you'll want to hippity hop on over to Julie Price's blog.  

Okey-dokey!  Our blog hop is about something other than a card.  You may alter something or create a box or bag.  You MAY include a card if you'd like, but the hop is all about anything BUT a card.  The theme is Spring or Easter.

As you can see I've used Mini images from the a couple of different collections  These are key fobs which I purchased at Michael's dollar bin several years ago.  I'd used all but these four, so I got busy and altered them for the Hop.

Here is sweet "Tilda With Hanging Rabbit". She was from the 2011 Butterfly Dreams Collection.
Sorry, this image is no longer in stock :-(

Here is "Little Bunny Tilda" from the Hoppy Easter Collection 2010.
She is available and you can find her by clicking on her name. :-)

Meet "Honey Tilda"  I don't know what collection she is from, but she is available in the store. :-)

Finally, here is "Chicken Tilda".  She is also from the Hoppy Easter 2010.
 So cute!! :-)
She is in stock and if you click on her name it will take you right to the order page.

On the reverse of each fob I used the same sentiment. It's an AmyR stamp.

So here is a last look at my key fobs.  They were fun to make and I've enjoyed sharing them with you.

So now it's time for you to hop over to Julie's blog to see what she has created to share with you.  Thanks for stopping by for a visit and I hope you enjoy the rest of the blog hop.

Enjoying the Journey,

Many blessings,

Barb

Magnolia-licious Highlites April Blog Hop...

It's time for another sensational blog hop from the awesome DT of Magnolia-licious Highlites and our theme is "Lots of Luscious Lace".

You can use fabric lace, lace flowers, or make some paper lace.

For my card I chose #3009 Princess of the Valley image which is, unfortunately, not available from Diana at this time. However she is available in Mini form as a bundle. Diana has THE best selection of Magnolia images anywhere and her service is fantastic. She also is running sales all the time so you don't want to miss out on that.

March Madness....and the Easter Bunny will soon be here!

Hellooooo Maggie lovers! March madness is just everywhere and here at Magnolia-licious Highlites we are having our own kind of March Madness. Can you believe that March is more than half way over. Just a few more days to the official first day of Spring.

Have you been enjoying our March Blog Hop? You surely don't want to miss even one entry by the DT for this one.As you know the theme of our HOP is "The Easter Bunny Will Soon Be Here". Create fun/cute packaging, bags and boxes for Easter eggs/treats.

If you've hopped on over here from Patti Jo's blog then your headed in the right direction. If not, please click this link to head back to Magnolia-licious Highlites blog for the right order. From here you're going to hop on over to the extremely talented Sharon's blog.

Let's get the show on the road.....here is my entry for the HOP. I decided to make a Tea Light Card box, but instead of putting tea lights in it, I've used some delicious Easter chocolate eggs. On the front of my card I've used #252 Tilda with Hanging Rabbit from the Butterfly Dreams Collection 2011. She is available right now in the standard size.

I've also used Magnolia papers throughout. The flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts, pearls from my stash and the ribbon is retired SU. All my images are stamped and colored on Cryogen White, while my CS is SU and Bazzill.

Here is a closer look at Tilda and her wee bunny!

Inside my card on the left side is a pocket on which I've used two Mini Images...#647 Floral Background and #3031 Tilda as a Shepherd.

Here is a closer look at that small panel...

Behind that panel is a tag which is removable. I used a computer generated poem that I found on the Internet!

Here is the box I created, filled with yummy Butterfinger Chocolate Eggs. On the bottom of the box I have used #268 Little Bunny Tilda. Each of these Mini images are from the Hoppy Easter Collection of 2010. They are all available from Diana right now. I think I used eggs that were too large as they really dwarf Tilda. I left the top of my box open so that the recipient of the card can access the chocolates. I used a piece of Acetate behind the SB Die opening to hold the eggs in.

On the back of my card, for my signature, I used my most resent acquisition, "Stamp Tilda" . Isn't she just so adorable? Then I just hand wrote in that it's 100% original and signed my name. I love the way it turned out.

Well that's it for my portion of the Blog Hop. I hope you're enjoying your journey and getting all kinds of fabulous ideas for your Easter Treats. Don't forget, from here your hopping over to Sharon's blog to see her wonderful creation.
