Easter Bunny Hop - Saturday

Happy Saturday everyone, doing anything special today?

Thank you for stopping by and seeing what we have to show you.

But firstly our sponsor today is…….. 

 Bugaboo

They have given a super prize, but you must visit the Inspiration blog to find out more.

Bunny, Easter, choccy eggs …………ooooh I do find it hard this time of year.

Being allergic to chocolate is not much fun,
but I can now buy chocolate for others, but I do find Easter eggs such a waste.
They are nothing but, air in a box!

So I made these this year…………….

Little bunny bags.

I filled them with little eggs and a small chocolate gold bunny.

I must confess they were not my idea, a freebie kit came on a magazine,
But it had horrid feeling felt and was rather small.
So I made my own template and started playing.

Pink for Mollie, Red for Sam and Turquoise for Sydney.

I hope they like them! 

I know it is a bit late for this Easter, but I am sure bunny bags could be used in the summer too,
or even for party bags.

My candy today is a collection of swiss dot ribbons, felt, matching large heart buttons………
……well everything you need to make these bags, including my template!

Add your name to the list and random org will pick a winner on Sunday 27th.
No comment required………..unless you feel the urge!

Have a great day

Easter Bunny Hop - Friday

Morning everyone, thank you for visiting us today.
It is the first day of our Easter showcase of ribbon goodness!

Today we are sponsored by

Stitchey Bear digi outlet

They have given us some super images to play with.  Sydney (my niece aged 8)
spied them and asked if she could make her grandma an Easter card.

Delighted that she still enjoys crafting with me, I printed the butterfly
image out for her and gave her my box of promarkers and anything she wanted to use
from the warehouse.

I was not expecting this.
It is awesome Syd, I do hope grandma likes it.

For a chance to win Stitchy Bears prize you need to pop over to the Inspiration blog
and add your name to the list for today’s prize. 

You will also find lots of other creations to look at.

Sydney has put together a special ribbon candy, just to say thanks for stopping by and looking at her card.
 

To win Syd’s Candy please leave her a comment and she will pick a winner on Sunday the 27th.
I am sure Syd will be checking often to see if she has any new comments!!

Have a great Good Friday.
