We're so happy you could join us today!

In addition to seeing a lot of awesome Easter creations, there is some blog candy available too. Miranda will be giving away a Michael’s gift card. To be eligible for the blog candy, you are required to visit each stop in the hop and leave a comment! The winner will be announced Wednesday, March 27th on my blog!

Here is my project for the Easter Hop =)

I used an SVG file from SVGcuttingfiles called Bunny Candy Tube Holder. I used one of the candy tubes from Close To My Heart which can be found here. I love these fun little tubes! I stickled the bunnies ears and love how they sparkle!

I hope you enjoyed my project today!

I am also going to be entering this into the SVG Cutting Files spring theme Challenge! Fingers crossed =)

Linked up over at Craftin Desert Diva's Linky Party!

Happy Easter!!!! We hope you enjoyed the hop today!

St. Patty's Day Blog Hop

Welcome to the St. Patty's Day Blog Hop!

I'm so happy you can join all of us as we show so super craft St. Patty's Day projects!

If you came from Julie's blog, then you are in the right place! If not, please start at Ashley's blog...you don't want to miss ANY of the fun!

In addition to all the fun projects, there is also some prizes and sponsor prizes so check out Ashley's blog for more details!

I made a fun treat box and card for my project today.

I used Silhouette's free shape of the week for this fun rainbow and pot of gold! I used my stickles to add gold in the pot and to jazz up the clover. I stamped the cloud with Jaded Blossom's Lucky Treats "follow the rainbow" stamp. I used CTMH ink in Gypsy =)

I also used Jaded Blossom's treat box to hold the M&M's in!

I made a simple card to go along with the treat. The rainbow is from Paper Piecings by Nikki and was her freebie for the day! I popped the rainbow up with some thick pop dots to stick out a little (& because I couldn't get my wobble to work too good!) I stamped the bottom with Jaded Blossom's Got Candy? set.

Please click on to check out Candace's awesome project!

Thanks for hopping along with all of us today!

Here is the complete lineup in case you get lost along the way =)
