Magnolia-licious Blog Hop!



Hi!  If you came here from Suzi's beautiful blog, then you are in the right place!  If you are just getting started, you want to go back to the Magnolia-licious Challenge Blog so you don't miss out on any of the gorgeous projects. 

I made a hot air balloon mobile for my project today.  I used three Magnolia images:  I Give You My Heart Tilda, Stop in the Name of Love Tilda, and Tilda with Spring Heart.  I colored them with Prismacolored pencils and added some stickles to them for a it of bling.  I used an eight inch honeycomb ball for the balloon and paper straws to attach it to the basket that I made from a cupcake holder die cut that I made on my Cricut.   I then used a variety of Doohickey dies including:  Tilda Lace, Bride's Bow, Heart Swirl, and the butterfly, clouds, and flowers from the new Vol 4 Doohickey collection.  I added pink polka dotted ribbon, blue ribbon bows, and pleated lace to complete this.   This also stands by itself, so it can be used as a centerpiece as well as a hanging mobile.
