Hello! Welcome to the Magnolia-Licious February Blog Hop!!
Hopefully you came here from Suzanne's Blog. Was her card not awesome?!?!?! If not please go back to the start of the hop to get all the deets--then follow the path to visit the DT members blogs.
After leaving my blog, head over to the blog of the extremely talented Sharon.

This month we have a fun theme of Pop Up Cards. SO easy and fun too! I hope that you will join us in making a pop up card of your own.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I want to apologize for my lack of posts since the holidays. I have some stuff going on here and I am finding it hard to be motivated to blog. I do have cards ready...but trying to come up with interesting blog posts have proven to be difficult for me as of late.
I truly appreciate all the kind emails that you have sent checking up on me.

I do, however, want to share this pic of me with 2 of the most wonderful people I have ever met: Diana Crick (creator of Scor-Pal and owner of Magnolia-licious)and Suzanne Dean (paper crafter extraordinaire. We were able to spend time together at CHA and I can't express how lovely they both are and how much fun we had! We went out to dinner one night and laughed so hard our sides hurt. I am fortunate to call these ladies friends.




In the near future I will post pics of other "cyber" friends turned real life friends that I was able to finally meet.

Don't Forget, you're headed over to Sharon's blog for the nest stop on the hop!

Have a Splendiferous Day!!!!

Hiya! Thanks for coming by today! I know that I have been lacking in my blogging lately and I truly do apologize. But I do appreciate your continued support! I have gotten your emails about being MIA and I will try real hard to be more consistent again. I do have to disclose that I will be attending CHA next week in California. I will be going with my BFF Kristen. We plan on attending the public Supershow and the trade show. If you are going to be there and you spot me please come say HI! Being from New England I am totally looking forward to the Vitamin D from the So. Cal. sunshine. I have to say I am feeling more cheery just thinking about it. Since I will be at CHA I am not sure how much blogging I will have time for. I do hope to post some pictures and maybe some sneak peeks of upcoming products!!

Motivet has another great sketch challenge for you this week. If you participate you could win up to 3 Motivet stamps of your choice!! How cool is that!? I feel so priviledged to be working with such a great company. It's hard pressed to get much cuter images than theirs! And they offer you several opportunities every week to win stamps from their blog. Be sure to stop by...you only need to comment to win!

Speaking of cute images, can you get any cuter than these hugging bunnies?! They make me smile every time I look at them. This is my first Valentine's Day card of the season. It made me feel all girly and giggly just making it. :) I have to admit that I am not a huge fan of Valentine's day. I have always thought of it as a "Hallmark Holiday". Over commercialized. But I do love to make Valentine's. It gives us the chance to indulge in our inner girly-ness. Pink, red, purple...all those hearts and frou-frou embellies. It is fun! I even use Card Scents on them. One I have is names Pink Kisses. I wonder if I can use it as a perfume? :) Maybe it will get hubby in the Valentine mode...?! Unlikely!! LOL!

On Monday, the Magnolia-licious design team will be having a blog hop! And I am pretty sure that I will be whipping out my Pink Kisses scent for this one...so be sure to drop by Monday!!
You know what else is happpening Monday? Riley Moose will be back!! Riley Moose and Company will be kicking off their first sneak peeks! WooooHoooo! So I will likely have 2 posts for you Monday. I gotta make up for missed time, I guess! LOL

I will announce the winner of last weeks 3 Clover Thursday over the weekend...I haven't gotten a chance to visit them all yet.

Have a delightful weekend!

Greetings! Thanks for coming by here today! I know that I have been a bad blogger lately...but my card making and blogging mojo seem to still be on Christmas vacation.

However, this card was made before the holiday. Pink Cat Studio is releasing 15...(yes, 15!)... new images tomorrow! 3 of which will be available in both Digi and Rubber! So there is a little something for all of you. This Cupcake and sentiment is one of those that are doing double duty in rubber and digi. Cupcakes and Pixies--what could be sweeter?! Today the design team has a bunch of sneak peeks to share with you so be sure to check 'em all out and leave them some {{{love}}} too because these are some talented ladies!
