SUMMER FUN BASH BLOG HOP-TODAY!

Hello and happy Monday! Yes, it is a happy Monday! The Magnolia-licious DT and the Magnolia-licious challenge team have partnered again for a HOP and a CHALLENGE!! The blog hop starts with the lovely and talented Sharon and you should have been to Maria's Studio for inspiration before coming here. Our projects (and YOURS!) are to be part of a theme which includes SUMMER FUN-think Beach, BBQ, Picnics or Fishing! I used non Beach stamps for my Beach themed project! Please go to the Magnolia-licious Blog for what you can create to enter AND to see the amazing prize worth over $100.00!! Keep reading too, 'cuz I have a letter for you at the bottom of my post! It's part of all the excitement.
I've made a 4.25" card using Tilda with Heart (#3008 in THE STORE). The stamps may not match but the My Mind's Eye papers do!! I loved the summery colors! For my commercially made (purchased on ETSY) box I used #264 LYING TILDA. She is dressed again after a day at the beach


collecting SHELLS!! Only my shells are chocolate and will fit perfectly in the box! don't ya love 'em?


A few more photos! I went a little crazy!






The candy fit perfectly into this glassine bag which will roll up and be packaged in the box!

the close up!


My letter is M
Now please hop on to the talented Suzanne, be further inspired and get another letter! At the end you can use the letters to create a 3 word sentence. The rest of the contest details are HERE when you're fininished hopping!

Thanks for swinging by! Happy day and happy summer to YOU!
