The Pink Elephant Easter Blog Hop...


Welcome to The Pink Elephant Easter Blog Hop!

At long last our fun weekend is here and we are all so excited. If you didn't arrive here from the Pink Elephant Tip Room, you will want to go to The Pink Elephant and start from the beginning.

You won't want to miss the fun things that everyone has to share! Some of the DT are offering blog candy too!

To celebrate the start of our fun weekend I have created an Easter Card using a combination of the Messy Rabbit rubber stamps by Joanna Sheen, Magnolia, some small Easter eggs stamps and butterfly from my stash.

My card is intended to be sent to a little one and the inside of the card has a message saying...

'Messy Rabbit loves Easter Eggs

Can you find all his eggs in his garden?

How many can you find?

To create my card I used my Cricut to cut out a grass border which made a real fun way to semi hide the Easter Eggs. The background is sky effect card by Kanban.

Now to celebrate our fun weekend I have some sweet blog candy to give away to one lucky person - a cupcake clear stamp set by Hero Arts. I have this set myself and it is so useful.



To be in with a chance of winning I would like you to leave a comment here telling me who your favourite rabbit character is and why.

If I spot your name on the Pink Elephant at any time over the weekend I will put your name into the hat twice - oooooooooooh two chances of winning. Good luck everyone.

I will announce the winner on Monday so do call back to see if you have been lucky.

After you are done on my blog, be sure to hop over to Trudi's blog The Pink Petal to see what she is sharing!!

Cute card! My favorite has to be Peter Rabbit hands down. I've loved Beatrix Potter tales since I was a child especially because the books are made for little hands.

My favourite bunny character has got to be Miffy ... not just for the cuteness factor but 'cos she reminds me of being snuggled under the covers and bedtime stories with my mum.

You must moderate your comments because I can't believe nobody has entered.

My favorite bunny character has to be the Easter Bunny. You wouldn't tell Santa in December he wasn't your favorite, would you? The Easter Bunny would leave me any candy if I didn't think he was the favorite.

Lynn Stevens said...

Hi Ann

I adore Messy Rabbit, but my favourite rabbit has to be Bugs Bunny cos I grew up with him, and I loved the fact he was always one step (at least) ahead of everyone else and sooo naughty!

The stamp set is gorgeous, now who doesn't love cupcakes!

All the best
