Bashful Bunnies Blog Hop!!

Hello, and welcome to my little corner of the Bashful Bunnies First Ever Blog Hop! 

If you are following along and started at the beginning, you just came from my friend Lisa's blog at Cuttle Fairies Express.  Isn't she talented! 

We are all part of a group of paper crafters who signed up for a swap that Jana started for St. Patricks Day on the Cricut message board.  It was a fun, secret sister type of swap and we all got to know each other and just couldn't stand for it to end, so we convinced Jana and Julie to keep it going with this Bashful Bunnies swap.  One thing has led to another and now here we are having a Blog Hop!  I never even had a blog till I started hanging out with these Bunnies! We also do a lot of enabling in our group.  The main thing is, we have a LOT of fun and have become very good friends.

When they started talking about doing this blog hop, they decided since it was Spring and near Easter that we each should make something to show on our blogs with one of those as a theme.  I don't do a lot of 'altering' of things, so I decided to make a card.  This is Tilda With Armful Of Tulips, from the new Butterfly Dreams Collection.  Isn't she pretty with all those tulips!  Everything else is from my stash.  I even used paper scraps!  The butterfly is a pretty one that Danielle sent me in the last shoebox round I did on the cricut mb.


This next card I made I just couldn't resist posting.  This image reminds me sooo much of my grandaughter, who will be turning 4 next week.  I got the image in a swap and can't remember what it is, but I will do some begging and see if I can find out what it is!  Everything else on this card is from my stash too.  (I have a LOT of stash!)



And now ..... Did I hear someone say BLOG CANDY?  I have some blog candy to give away!!  All you have to do to get a chance to win my blog candy, pictured below, is to become a follower to my blog if you aren't already, and to make a comment in this post.  Tell me in your post (along with any other comments you might have!) WHAT DOES YOUR DH/SO/FAMILY THINK OF YOUR SCRAPBOOKING/CARDMAKING HOBBY?            I will announce the winner of my blog candy on Monday morning!

    Good morning!! I've been following your blog for a while. Always great to see your work. That card is super cute and I really love that image of the little girl. If you ever find out what stamp that is, you need to let me know!!

    My DH loves my hobby. He says it's great to see how creative I am and he's even helped me on some projects. We both like to create things so it's great he's so supportive. Doubt our marriage would've lasted so long so far if he didn't!! LOL

    Thanks for the chance to win such a great blog candy. LOVE those flowers!!

    Good mornin! Those cards are way too cute and the coloring is wonderful!

    My DH merely rolls his eyes at all my stuff I have everywhere. He really doesn't mind though. My youngest son, loves all the craft stuff we have. In fact I must now fix everything because he was making a "trash monster" last night for the school arts festival and stuff is everywhere! It has to be made from recyclable clean stuff and he has had a ball!

    Cute cards! I swear my mom used to have a cross stitch that looked exactly like the first one. Crazy!
    My DH is a little undecided about my craftiness...He likes the stuff I make, but doesn't like seeing new bags come in from HL, Ms and Js or dealing with the stash!

    I always love seeing your work.. If you find out the name of that second image, I would love to know! She is wayyy to adorable!

    There is no DH here and my son, well, he thinks it is the best fun when I have someone over and since Anne got me into the MB she has come over a couple times so we could craft together. I am sure if other family members knew how much I have gotten into this I would hear something like "aren't you doing too much as it is?" To which I would say I have fun with this and am learning more so I can make some awesome scrapbooks..... guess I should get going on some of those scrapbooks!

    HaHa, what does my DH think of my crafting hobbie...several years ago he told me to get a hobby, I did and now he thinks I've gone over board and I have an addiction issue. I tell him its his fault!

    GrandmaJ - Can I sign up for your Copics class? Yes, I'm saying you need so start one :) You do BEAUTIFUL work! Thanks for sharing & inspiring.

    My DH bought me my Cricut 2 years ago for Christmas, and I have REALLY TAKEN it from there. He can't say much - he started it! As long as I acquire 'tools' in moderation, he's fine with it and he does love to see the final products. He calls this hobby 'my calling', and I even caught him cutting out some gift tags around Christmas time!

    Thanks for posting in our hop and for the yummy candy - it has been great getting to know you!

    Great work! Maybe I could get a copics introduction/lesson from you since you're so close to me!! Love those cards, they are adorable. My family doesn't mind my crafting hobby, but they think I'm a little crazy when I say "Oh I gotta to do Hobby Lobby they are having a sale!" um... didn't you go last week? "Yes.. that was a different sale!" haha! Gotta love it!

    GrandmaJ- great cards! The little girl is called Molly by Sugar Nellies. I just got an image her this week and she looks like my youngest daughter when she was younger. And the way you colored her is perfect!
    My DH doesn't say much about my hobby even though it is spread all over the dining room, sometimes the kitchen and the computer desk!
    Thanks!

    Hey GrandmaJ I found you - YAY. Love your cards. Oh, and my DH thinks I have lost my mind with all of this scrappin stuff I have around here. Shhhh he thinks most of it came from swaps on the CMB

    LOVE THE CARDS!!!!! My DH used to be kind of indifferent to my hobby. He didn't bother me because it was my thing and wasn't nearly as expensive as his hobbies. Well now he nags me to do things for him. He bought me a heat press to do uniforms for his baseball teams. Once he discovered vinyl, especially heat transfer vinyl he loves my hobby.

    It's so great to see you with a blog Janice. I love your cards - such beautiful coloring! You ladies have enabled me so much - and to think that as of 8 months ago I didn't own a single Copic and had never seen a Tilda stamp. If ya'll could see my collection now, hehe! Well, no DH YET, but DBF is fairly supportive of my hobby. Course we don't live with each other yet and he has no idea how much all of my "hobbies" will overtake his space when we do, hehe!

    My family is very supportive of my hobby. Both my girls (and DH) have all made things for me and the girls have even taken up my hobby as well.
