Card Candy #1 Love & Encouragement

This was so much fun to create! It was a bit stressful when I was trying to make a card candy set, "For the Love of a Teen", using Melanie's Little Tee's set. I just couldn't make it work, but I will. Stay tuned for that in the future! Haha I have always wanted to make card candy but never got to it, so thank you Carolina, for the challenge. Here is a tip: make sure your candy doesn't go all the way to the top of your backer/bag. I had a heck of a time getting that topper to stay on! I had a rather large cello bag to start, so I certainly could have folded it over. Live & Learn, right? Here is the link to the StampTV, anything but a card challenge, stvabccb11. This will also qualify for the Stampin' Sisters in Christ Challenge, where Ceal Prichett challenges you to:
make a card or project for someone you love letting them know how much God loves them.

I John 4: 10 "This is real love—not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as a sacrifice to take away our sins."
This was Ceal's scripture choice for Valentine's day to remind us that God's love is the strongest LOVE of all. Play along here, SSCC#26.

Using a paper clip from my desk also satisfies the Saturday Spotlight with Hidden Potential challenge. SSHP Around the House, use a household item. Play it here!
