Pals Spring Hop & BLOG CANDY!

Thank you for joining us for the March Pals Blog Hop! Today the Stampin' Pretty Pals are excited to share new ideas and projects to get you ready for spring.  Don't miss the details of my blog candy giveaway below!

You should have just left stop No. 1 on the Pals Hop - Dawn Tidd's Blog (Tiddbits From Dawn).  If so, you are in the right spot.  If you get off track, the full blog lineup below will help you move along from blog to blog so you see all of the amazing spring creations.

I truly enjoyed creating my Easter goodies for the hop.  I chose Ears to You from the Stampin' Up! Single Stamp Assortment #3 to create both the card and place cards.

 
Each name was stamped with alphabet images from the Designer Typeset Photopolymer Stamp Set (132956).  They are a snap to place!  Get the scoop on NEW Stampin' Up! Photopolymer (transparent) stamps.

The patterned bunnies are adorable as a trio or snipped and popped up on Stampin' Dimensionals.  The place cards measure 3 1/4" wide x 1 3/4" high.  I plan to use them at each place setting for my family's Easter dinner--a crafty holiday touch!  I used a 3 x 1" piece from the Stampin' Up! Print Poetry Designer Series Paper Stack to wrap each of the Hershey's nuggets.
