We have a great team forum, Business Building Club and heaps of support from like minded demonstrators. Our blog hop is a monthly event which happens on the last day of every month.
You may have just come from Ros Davidson's blog, but if you are starting here, don’t worry, you can make the complete journey just by following the links at the end of each post.
There are 14 stops along the way and we hope you will visit each one to see the wonderful creations we have to show you! If you leave a comment on each and every blog and then email Nikki Sadler, your name will be put into the hat to win some beautiful blog candy.
There is a deadline of 72 hours to leave your comments and only non SU demos are eligible to win - although we'd love all visitors to leave some comments please. The deadline for leaving comments is the 3rd of March (6.00am).
So for our March tour we decided upon the theme Easter. Mmmmm Chocolate. At the end of each post there will be a link to take you to the next stop on the tour.
It would be fantastic if you could leave a comment on each blog!
So grab a cuppa, and let's set off on what I know will be an inspirational journey!
After I put my hand up for this hop I realised that I did not own even one Easter stamp. Not one bunny nor one egg. Not even a fluffy yellow chicken. Then the panic set it. But....after looking at the big picture and nutting it out a little, I finally figured out what I was going to do. And here is the result. I hope you enjoy my little Easter box with matching note card.
Even though I didn't have the stamps, I was able to portray Easter by using punch art. There's just something really cute about a bunny's bum.
And here is the note card.
Here is a close up of the flowers that I stamped over my project. To achieve this effect, I stamped the image and then went over the stamen of the flowers with my white gel pen.
And what is Easter without a little chocolate all covered in brightly coloured foil.
CARD STOCK: Bashful Blue, Kraft, Whisper White
STAMP SETS: Fifth Avenue Floral
ACCESSORIES: 1/2" Circle Punch, 1" Circle Punch, 11/4" Circle Punch, Wide Oval Punch, 2-Way Glue Pen, Dazzling Diamonds Glitter, White Gel Pen, Clear Acetate Sheet, Snail Adhesive, Sticky Strip, Stampin' Dimensionals, Sponge Daubers
Well, that's all from me. Thank you for looking. Now you're off to enjoy the stunning creations of the lovely Sue Madex who is another Melbourne based demonstrator.
You are a clever chickie (excuse the pun), Kris! This is so cute; it brought a smile to my face. Love the colour combo too :)

SO CUTE Kris. Very, very clever how you have done your Easter theme. As you say, there's something about a Bunnie's Bum.

How cute are those bunnies, simple but effective. Well done for thinking outside the square and not using a easter stamp set. Obviously you haven't spent enough yet if you don't have an easter set.... Cheers Erica xxx
