Polka Doodles Easter Blog Hop ;)

 Hi Guys and welcome to this weeks Polka Doodle Challenge.

This week its going to be a bit different - we still have our regular challenge but we also have a blog hop which is also part of the challenge!! And you know what that means - LOADS of candy!!

CHALLENGE STAGE 1: Now, we know not everyone like to do a hop for whatever reason, so we still have our normal challenge for the week which is EASTER themed - you must make a card or project which is Easter themed.

But that's not all...

CHALLENGE STAGE 2: Our second challenge is the blog hop - if you hop along with us this week you will find that the Easter Bunny has arrived early and left some hidden goodies on some of the Design Teams blogs - but you have to hop though the whole list to find who the Easter Bunny has visited!

Here is my Easter themed card I have made using the gorgeous  new 'Sugarplum Daisy' CD.

If you've never taken part in a blog hop before it's easy peasy...all you need to do is visit each blog in turn and for this hop each Polkadoodler will give you a LETTER (be careful - some of the Polkadoodlers may have more than one!) Now add all the letters together, unscramble them and leave a comment on the Polkadoodle Challenge Blog (comments will be moderated!) with what the word is. 

  If you have arrived at my blog from the lovely Daniele's  then you are on the right track! The letter you require from me is M - keep it safe and now jump to the lovely Ruth's. Good luck! If you get stuck, please go back to the Polkadoodle Challenge blog where you will find the full list of Polkadoodlers.

You will need to complete both the Easter themed challenge and the blog hop to be in with a chance of winning one of the fantastic prizes on offer! You need to go to the challenge blog to see what is on offer but it is fabulous! There will be one grand prize winner and two second place winners!

Good Luck ;)

I will also be entering my card into the following challenges:

Easter Bunny Treat Box using Silhouette Cameo

Can you believe the Easter Bunny is only 3.5 weeks away? 

I couldn't believe it when I realised so when Regina asked the team to make something using the adorable new Easter sets from The Cutting Cafe' I decided to make George a little basket ready for his egg ;)

This little treat box is ideal to put your own special treats inside for that special someone. I used the silhouette with the fabulous print and cut again......did I mention I lurve this feature? lol

Here is another view of the box to give you a better idea of the size it's just prefect for a medium sized egg.

I used my Martha Stewart doily punch to make the handle but you do get one with the set.

You can find this treat box and many more fab cut files at The Cutting Cafe'.

Thank you for visiting

Hugs

 

Spring Fling Blog Hop

Hello and Welcome to another fun blog hop with Sparkle N Sprinkle!

If you have (Bunny Hopped) here from the fabulous Karin's Blog then you are right on track :)

Otherwise, you might like starting from the beginning to become eligible for FIVE great prizes here at Sparkle N Sprinke.

I have made 2 cards for the hop and they both use the same stamp set - Star Bunnies.

 For the above card I used Carrot Bunny which is so much fun :) I stamped 3 carrots out too and layered them using foam squares. The sentiment is computer generated and the base of the card was made using Grand scalloped circles.

My second card was made using Girl Bunny.

I used my oval nesties to cut an aperture in the base of my card and stamped my image inside the window. The butterflies and border is Easter border Nesties.

To be eligible  for a prize you must comment on every blog on the hop.

There are 2 grand prizes and 3 “random” prizes that are attached to 3 different designers blogs!

Your next stop on the hop is April's :)

Thank you so much for joining us on this blog hop and good luck ;)

Hugs
