3.5 Challenges in One!!!!! ROP Bag Full of Hearts

**

I can't believe that with all the excitement

last week in revealing Belles 'n Whistles

puzzle pieces that my 5000th blog hit came

and went without me stopping to acknowledge it.

**

I'd like to say a HUGE thank-you to

everyone that has stopped by to look at my

over the last year to look at my creations.

It's really encouraging having fellow crafters

view and comment on your work.

And so onto this weeks Roses on Paper challenge.

The very talented Lim has asked for a card with Hearts.

I bought these gorgeous heart charms at the Melbourne

Craft & Quilt Fair that I went to last week which were

just perfect for this challenge.

This ~From the Heart~ stamp was the perfect

sentiment to go with the Heart theme and finished

off the gift card nicely.

To take part in this challenge and your chance to maybe

pickup one of the fantastic prizes that Summer offers up

with each challenge be sure to go to our

Roses on Paper Challenge Blog.

If you don't have the necessary stamps for our challenges

be sure to visit Summer for all your Magnolia stamps.

You may have noticed the strange title for

this posting -

3.5 Challenges in One & a Bag Full of Hearts!!!!!

I've been so busy trying to complete our

end of year tax paper work that I haven't

had a great deal of time to 'play' at my

craft desk - so I decided to combine my 4

favourite challenge blogs in one ~

Roses On Paper, Just Magnolia, Just Magnolia Too

and Just Magnolia Tutorial

(are you beginning to get the idea that I LOVE Magnolia's!!!)

**

**

But why the 3.5???

Well the Just Magnolia Tutorial blog has a tutorial on

creating 3D images - as I've only made my letter 3D

I figure I've only done half the challenge!!!!!

**

The Just Magnolia challenge blog had this awesome

sketch - with the request for 3 x something in the top

corner it was just the perfect place for my 3 Hearts.

And then finally Just Magnolia Too had the interesting

idea of decorating a paper bag. I chose to decorate a

brown paper gift bag - I just don't want to give it away

to anyone now!!!!!

And there you have it - 3.5 Challenges in One!!!!!
