Doing the HOP...

The Easter Bunny Hop!

I really can't believe Easter is just around the corner, I rushed out today to do the shopping on Easter Bunnies list before we go away next week to Margaret River because when we get back I am sure all that will be left on the shelves would be chocolate crumbs!

This little Easter set is inspired by this week challenge at Meljens Designs - Easter Inspired.  I have used the adorable Bunny Block set from Bugaboo stamps and they are really fun to play with.  I used four on the card and the rest went on the tags.

Materials Used;

Bugaboo Bunny Block digi set, Copic Caio markers, SU Kraft & Basic Black card stock, pink cardstock from the stash pile, DP from DCWV Animal Crackers Stack, SU buttons and gold twine for the tags.

For The Boys!

Rock'n with the Creeper Crew

This weeks FFF Challenge at the TGF Farm Fresh Challenge Blog is to create a card for the boys.  This is an easy one for me as I am out numbered by males in my house three to one unless I am allowed to count the pets, in which case we would be even!

I pulled out 'Tyler' for this one from my new TGF Creeper Crew Collection and I also finally got to use my Creeper Drummer digi.  I added the bands name to the drums; CJ and the Crew, CJ is my nephews nickname.  The sentiments and background stamps are a mix from the Creeper Crew and SU's Grunge Rock sets.

Materials Used; 

Stamps from TGF and SU, Copic Caio markers, SU Kraft and basic black card stock, misc red card stock, musical paper from SU Newsprint DP collection, Kaiser Craft Rough n Tough DP, ribbon from my stash pile.
