Happy Birthday Just Magnolia!!!

Good Morning and Welcome to the Just Magnolia Blog Hop!

Today we're celebrating Just Magnolia's one year birthday! We are holding a blog hop which is being sponsored by our super fabulous and very generous sponsor Simon Says Stamp! They have been so very giving over this past year and not only are they sponsoring our normal challenge prize for this week, but they are also donating a fabulous prize for one lucky participant in this hop! If you hop along with us today, you could win these crafting goodies!

The theme of this week's JM challenge is Thank You and we would like you to also use a sketch provided by Mina to create your project. For all of the JM DT members, this challenge is to thank you, our followers and loyal participants, for all of your support and for sharing your Magnolia creations with us each week.  We hope you will join in the challenge as well as take part in the blog hop!

OK, if you've come to my blog today by way of Sheila's blog, you are in the right place. But, if you are just joining me, you will want to go back to the Just Magnolia blog, which will take you to DT Member Mina's creation.  From there you will be able to hop to each of the Just Magnolia DT Member blogs to see what they have in store for this fun thank you challenge/blog hop celebration!

This is my card using Mina's sketch and the thank you theme. I've used a sitting Tilda image and the envelope accessory stamp.

I went with a pink and orange color combo and used some BasicGrey Indian Summer papers. The edges were stitched on the sewing machine. The image was colored with Copics and then cut out and glued to a scalloped oval frame, which I created with Nestabilities. I've embellished with pearls, flowers, ribbon, and a rose charm. The sentiment is from Whimsy Stamps.

This card also fits the challenges at:
My Time to Craft: Pretty Pearls
Roses on Paper: Layers
All Sorts: Petals and Pearls

I also created a special treat box to go with my card. I shared the details about this box on Tuesday, in this POST, if you'd like to read more.

Now, I also have a little blog candy treat for one lucky participant today too! I put together some goodies, some from my last Simon Says Stamp order, along with other treats I've been saving up and I'd like to offer them to one person who leaves a comment on this post as well as a link using the Linky Feature below, by next Thursday, April 22nd at Noon EST. This is what I have for you....

This prize includes:
1 Sweet Tilda Magnolia Rubber Stamp
1 bottle of Star Dust Stickles
1 sheet of emerald colored sticky rhinestones

After you leave a comment and link your name in the linky feature, you will want to continue with the hop and visit my teamie JayJay to see her fabulous creation! Be sure to complete the hop for your chance at the Simon Says Stamp blog hop prize and you won't want to miss the other DT member blogs because many of us have our own candy to offer too! Hope you enjoy this celebration blog hop!
