All You Need Is Love

Happy Monday everyone!  And for those in the US Happy Inauguration Day...holiday for hubby and kids so they are home with me again.  Today is cleaning day #2 this time the upstairs are getting bombarded by me LOL.  Amazing what can happen when I'm gone for a week, you'd think my family was a bunch of piggies cuz' no one does ANY cleaning while I'm away ugh.  Then I hope to work on some projects in the craft room...nice to not be shaky anymore and actually have some mojo..it was gone missin' for awhile that's for sure!

Yes, yes it was football all day yesterday...my fave kind of day...lots of teens in the house, lots of yelling, lots of smack talk and some junk food goodies LOL...awesome!  RAVENS WON, RAVENS WON so you know it was happy night in our house!  We yelled & jumped so much in our family room that the clock that sits over the fireplace in the basement (which is HUGE) fell off the wall & shattered bwahahaha.  We party hard I guess hee hee!  Sad that only the Superbowl is left to watch...I'm gonna miss my football but I'm looking forward to Baseball Season too.  Hockey I love but I have to say this year I'm disappointed with the 48 game season that they will be playing...teams haven't practiced much and I'm just not feeling it this time.  We shall see...but right now I'm thinking SPRING, WARM and BASEBALL baby ;) LOL!

Ok no blibber blabber from me today since its a Blog Hop Day for Magnolia-licious...whoot and its all about LOVE, LOVE, LOVE!!

Magnolia-licious Love Blog Hop

 

Today the Magnolia-licious DT has a fun Love-Themed Blog Hop for you all featuring new stamps from the "Love Collection 2013".  I used super sweet "Pink Ribbon Tilda", she's such a cutie! I created a mostly white-on-white project with pops of hot pink.  I made the cute heart basket with paper scraps totally to match my card.  

Make sure to stop by the Magnolia-licious Highlites to see all the details for the hop and how to join in with us!!

I used cute "Pink Ribbon Tilda" on my project and kept most of the major elements in white shimmer cardstock (from PTI).  All the heart elements were done with Heart Spellbinders, the background was embossed with a heart CB folder.  That cute picket fence (with lil' hearts and wood grain that I adore) is from La La Land Crafts "Heart Fence Die"...I threaded my ribbon thru the pickets for a fun look.  Some PTI ribbon double tied with my Bow Easy and topped with layers of Prima roses.  And a hefty dose of Stickles and Pearls to bling it up a bit.

Tilda got colored up with Copics: C3,C1,C00 / RV17,RV13,RV10,RV000 / E11,E00,R20 / E25,E59,E50,E31.  I added Stickles to her lacey trims and a pearl to her bow knot.

For my love basket I used my Heart Spellbinders again and just layered my hearts.  To create the inside for the basket element was easy....I took a pc of cardstock that I cut to the width I needed, scored 1/2" on each side down the pc I had cut.  Then scored the pc of cardstock in the center, snipped the sides of the center point so it would fold into a v.  Then added scor-tape to the scored-sides and attached to each of my hearts  Simple, easy way to add a basket liner for the hearts.  I embossed my hearts again with CB folders and added the same ribbon/rose/pearl accents.  The handle was just another pc of cardstock cut then punched with a MS border punch...then I cut a slim strip of hot-pink cardstock and glued that in the middle of the handle for another pop of pink.  Pink tulle inside finishes it off.

That's it for me today....I'm the last girly on this Hop today!  Hope you had fun, got inspired and join in on the fun with us!!
