Unbelievable prizes for this contest, so check out the details HERE!!!!
I’ve got a couple of projects and they involve the cutie Mini Maggies!!! The first one is based on the idea of Sugar Eggs I made as a kid. We would mix sugar and I think it was egg whites and then press into plastic egg molds. When they were set up, we would scoop the insides out to make just a shell. Then the fun began with making little scenes on the inside with frosting and plastic little characters. Then we would decorate the outside with more frosting and frosting flowers. So using paper was much easier!! I have some glittery paper for the “sugar egg” part and made my scene with Mini Maggies.
MINI #454 MAGNOLIA TREE
MINI #421 SUN
Please check with Diana on the Mini Magnolia Tree and Mini Sun. Can you tell, I kinda like these flowers and leave....used them on my last few projects!!! :) Water colored with Distress Inks and used the Spellbinders ovals to cut out. Added ribbon, rhinestones, and Stickles glitter glue for more sparkle. Cut out a little stand because my "egg" kept falling over!!! :)
Another thought of spring is riding bicycles. So I used the darling Mini Edwin riding his bike with a row of nice green Mini Trees showing behind him.
Again water colored with Distress Inks, also used the Scor-Pal to put in some accent lines, an EK corner punch, a Stampin’ Up embossing folder, word stamp and hardware. These mini border dies are a great addition to masculine cards!
Hope you will hop onto this challenge and join us too. Diana is sooooo generous with her prizes for the contests!!! Stop by her store Magnolia-licious HERE to find the Magnolia Stamps both big and small. She has the best store with awesome service and is the sweetest lady too!!!

What fun it was to read your post! I got one of those Sugar Eggs for my son when he was born. We still have it 15 years later and take it out each year at Easter. Love your paper version with your beautiful glittery paper.
Love your second card too. A wonderful masculine card!
Your card is extremely cute!
what a clever and fun idea! Love what you created! Teresa
Awwww, she's the cutest lil bunny! Such an elegant card! Great Job Patti!
Oh Patti Jo!
Your egg card is adorable. The colors are so vibrant. Such a fabulous idea to have the inside of the card showing through to the front like that.
your flowers looks so lovely and I love the glitter paper you have used. You are tempting me to get those Doohickey dies. I love the little stand you made as well.
Doug said "where's the Bald Eagle?"
(In house joke).
Your second card is wonderful too. what a super card for a boy. I love the little scene you created with the mini trees in the background. The framing is awesome.
Hugs Maz
Wow you have created two beautiful scenes. Such a lovely surprise when you opened the egg, each detail so perfect. I enjoyed reading about the sugar eggs, I have never heard of them before, yes I was a deprived child...lol. Absolutely gorgeous Patti Jo.
hugs, Diana

Patti Jo. I adore your cards. I love cards with a peek-a-boo window and then you get a surprise when you open the card. And the card comes with its own card stand.. Cool! Terrific Edwin card too. Love the colour combo. You’re an ace with these minis now. I’m still struggling with them LOL. Need a magnifying glass…hee hee, or have to get really close and personal with them.
I never did the sugar egg thing when I was a kid. Sounds like it would have been a fun thing to do.
Hugs,
Norma
