Bunny Hops


 The latest Sunday Song and Rhyme challenge is based on the poem All the world's alive again by Jennifer Gunner

It is a pretty spring poem and I chose to focus on two of the lines; A rabbit hops it gentle step and White blossoms are in bloom.

Using a Sweet Dixie rabbit die with white flowers mounted on green vellum and then on a printed background of white blossom designed by Old Market. The wording Hoppy Birthday was created with my Cricut Joy using a Cricut font called blossom. Finally finished with googly eyes and a pompom tail.


This challenge runs form 28th April until 11th May. Spring runs from 20th March to 20th June, though those of us in the UK have no seen much evidence of it yet!

Colour wheel

This month sees me on the design team in another Outlawz group challenge, Tuesday colour. The challenge changes monthly and always has a colour theme.  For April the theme is a colour wheel.


The item created must use either 2 cool colours from top of wheel and 1 warm from bottom, or vice versa.  I chose to use yellow, orange and green.  I used a 6 layer mandala die and alternated the colours and mounted on a backing paper using same colours.  The die is an Apple Blossom die 


I did actually create two cards, but this was my favourite to share for the challenge inspiration.

This is the other one, which reminds me of Leeds United colours and may appeal to fans.  I live in Leeds, but do not follow the team.  This is made with another Apple Blossom die
