Welcome to yet another blog hop. Today’s blog hop is involving participants from the "Art with Heart" team which is managed by Claire Daly. Only a small number of us are participating in todays blog hop but there is actually over 80 demonstrators in the “Art with Heart” team and we are spread all over Australia. If you wish to join the “Art with Heart” team, e-mail me for more details. We have a fantastic team forum, a business building club not to mention lots of friendly and supportive fellow demonstrators.
The "Art with Heart" team are running blog hops each and every month. (They are to be held on the last day of the month.) Keep this in miXnd to come back and visit if you are not a regular visitor.
You may have just come from Tina Gillespie’s blog but if not, there is a link at the end of my post (and each post of those involved) and you will be able to make a complete journey to all of those demonstrators participating. If you leave a comment on all of the blogs, e-mail Nikki at [email protected] and you will be in the draw to win some lovely blog candy.
Note: There is a deadline of 72 hours to enter for the blog candy, (finishing at 6am AEDST, Wednesday March 3rd, 2010) and only non SU demos are eligible to win. Please don’t feel discouraged to comment if you are a fellow demo or if the blog candy contest has closed as I love comments from all my visitors.
For our second blog hop, we are celebrating “Easter”.
I have made a chocolate pull tab slider box for todays blog hop. As a teenager, I always asked for a block of Caramello chocolate and a cream egg (both from Cadbury). It was my standard Easter request for years (and pretty much still is) so I used that as the basis for my creation. Not only the colours but also the block of chocolate inside the pull tab slider box.

Inkpads: Chocolate chip, versamark, riding hood red, so saffron
Cardstock: Elegant eggplant, so saffron, whisper white
Punches: Round tab punch, 1/2" circle, horizontal slot, scallop edge
Accessories: Linen thread, crop-o-dile, elegant eggplant 1/4" grosgrain ribbon, so saffron 5/8" grosgrain ribbon (retired), button latte, bella rose designer series paper

Take your time to enjoy all of the lovely creations that everyone has created for your viewing pleasure. I hope it is an inspirational journey for you.
Click here to stop by the next blog on the tour, the lovely Kristine Thompson from Bayswater North, VIC.

Wow those colours are just amazing. I love your little bunny Ros!

This is such a great idea. I have the template for this and never thought about using it for Easter. This would be perfect gift for my husband or my dad as they are not big fans of easter eggs, but they do like chocolate. I also love the colour combination.
