The Crafty Hos
The Crafty Hos have a new challenge for you today--and it is a sketch challenge. You may want to head over to the Challenge Blog and check it all out, but in case you don't, here is the sketch for you:
For my card, I used one of my favorite Bugaboo lines--Stella. Stella is correct this time--we "old bunnies" do lose our hop! This fantastic sentiment comes with the image. Check it out! I used SU cardstock, some leftover DP, added some sparkly bling, used my oval nestabilities, and colored my image with copics. Makes a cute Easter card for some "old bunny".

I love this now Eggbert image from Bugaboo--but as I have said before--I HATE snow! These beads were a real challenge for me, but I like how they look betweent the banners.
