Hello!  Happy Easter!  You should have arrived here at stop two of our Bunny Hop from the CR INSPIRATION BLOG. Today's showcase of ribbons also includes a Bunny Hop, so if you have just popped by to say hello to me and would like to join in with the hop you will need to start at the very beginning which is on the CR Inspiration blog.   Hop around the DT blogs in the order they are listed and leave them a comment. While you are hopping around please watch out for the lovely little bunny/bunnies which is/are hiding away and make a note of whose blog/s they are on so that when you return to the Inspiration blog you can link up with your name and which blog/s you saw the bunny/bunnies.....GOOD LUCK! I bought this wire heart cage from Panduro a good while back.  One of those things that you buy thinking you will turn it in to a masterpiece and then sit and stare at for a few months!  Any way I thought I'd give it a whirl and used paper...

Hello Everyone!  Welcome to another instalment of Crafty Ribbons Easter Inspiration! What have I got for you today?  A layout using the French Stamp ribbon. I made a few chevrons... This is a good way to use up little bits of grosgrain ribbon I tucked in a few word stickers, they kind of look like tabs.  Made the layout title from the ribbon. And finally made a little loop of ribbon tucked under the photo Put it all together and this is what I made... The filigree patterned lilac square and purple rectangle are the side and lid of a biscuit packet!  (M&S I believe, can't be sure though!)  I think these count as snippets (plus the ribbon chevrons cut from an end too short to be useful for anything else) - so I'm linking this up to the Playground .
