BLOG CANDY WINNER!!

Sorry all!!!  I'm late in posting my blog hop candy for the April Bunny Blog Hop!!  Wow life sneaks away on you doesn't it?!!  I just wanted to take a second and thank everyone who hopped onto my blog and joined us in the whole blog hop.  What amazing participation!!

I've been so short on time so instead of using the random generator I asked my husband to pick a number between 1 and 68, which were the number of comments I had.  WOW!

To my surprise he said #1!!

has won the Magnolia images!! 

When I asked him out of all those number why he picked number 1 he asked me, "have you ever seen a random generator actually pick #1?"......Hmpf.....nope!!  LOL!!

CONGRATULATIONS!!

Graphicat Grand Opening Blog Hop

(For the April Bunny Blog Hop Click HERE)

Today is a special blog hop cuz one of my close friends is doing her first blog hop for her new digi site,


So, if you've come here from Cheri's blog you're on the right track.  If you want to start at the beginning I'll send you back to her blog Graphicat Creations.  

The image I used is called "This Cup".  Cheri likes to keep things simple.  LOL!  My kinda gal!!  Join us in our monthly sketch challenge pictured below, which I've used and enter your card to win some digi's!!


I have to admit my favorite part of this card is my sugar on the spoon falling into the coffee.  This would be one of those things where I see it on another blog and think "OMG why didn't I think of that?!!"  Well this time it's me!  YAY!!  LOL!!  I first put down some Glossy Accents, then sprinkled some flower soft on and followed that up with glitter.  


So on to the hop and your next stop is at another friend's blog,
Enjoy the hop!!

April Bunny Blog Hop

(Click HERE For CLP Post) 

Today I'm joining up with fellow Canadian crafters for the April Bunny Blog Hop hosted by Made by Jacqueline!
The blog hop runs from April 1th-5th. 

If you have hopped here from Liz's blog Miss Merryweather's Creations, you're on the right path.  If you'd like to start from the beginning I'll send you back to Jacqueline's blog.

In honor of Easter we are all making a project with a bunny on it!  Well I made 3 projects and used mostly my Silhouette machine.

Bear with me, there are lots of picture.  

My first project is just the cutest little buddy with treats on the inside. I used Silhouette's bunny_treat_bag_C00068_30551





My next project is Silhouette's

And my last project is a revamped Walmart pail with my Silhoeutte bunny border!  Oh and on the inside is a cupcake (pictured below) made with 2 pairs of little girls' socks and chocolates.  I got that idea from Paula's blog Low Country Paisley, so that's for that Paula!  I wish my cupcake looked as great as hers did.  I might have to try again!  hee hee

(A little hard to see with the sun shining.  Sorry!)

For the lid I made a Silhouette flower - I luv this one!

Here's a picture of the sock cupcake out of the pail.  I used a Silhouette cupcake wrapper and then used some digi paper to pleat around the wrapper.
