Lori Whitlock Spring Blog Hop


Hello! Welcome to the Lori Whitlock Spring Blog Hop.  The team has prepared lots of Spring projects for you today using Lori's amazing files.  In addition, we each have a $5 gift card to give away to Lori's store so be sure to visit all the stops along the way for more chances to win.

Blog hop order:
Carolyn

And be sure to check out the free shape available on Lori's blog today:
Here is my Spring-themed project.  I used Lori's Easter Basket for this and added the little Easter bunny (3 Easter bunny rabbits available on Silhouette online store) to create a tag for the basket:
If you look at the picture of this basket on Lori's site, you will notice that the sides are folded down.  Instead of folding them down, I left the edges up and covered the sides with patterned paper. 

I made the bunny file a lot smaller and cut it out using white, pink and Kraft cardstock.  I used some twine (The Twinery) for the bunny's whiskers and added a sentiment sticker (SRM stickers) and a ruffled ribbon around the neck.
 

Want to win these files for FREE------?  If you would like to be entered to win the $5 gift card to Lori's store, just leave a comment on this post by Thursday at 8 p.m. Eastern time.  I will post the winner on Friday. Good luck!

Happy Happy Joy Joy challenge

Hello there! Just popping in with my take on the Moxie Fab World Tuesday Trigger Happy Happy Joy Joy!  Here is the inspiration photo:

And here is my take on it:
 
This card came together in minutes.  I cut the Silhouette background (Rivka Wilkins) from yellow paper and then stamped the sentiment in pumpkin ink.  The sentiment is from Paper Smooches: Sentiment Sampler. 

I added the multicolor strip of paper to get more colors in there and then used my Tiny attacher to add some mini staples to the side.
That's it. Easy mailer! :)

Thanks for taking a peek!

Nice tail :)

Since Easter is right around the corner, thought I would share this easy little stuffed animal bunny I made using some fabric, felt, ribbon and baker's twine scraps :) 
 .......and here is his tail :) Cute, ugh?
 Happy April 1st! Thanks for stopping by!
