OWH Bunny Hop with Amber Ink + Blog Candy


Welcome to my stop on the Bunny Hop for Operation Write Home. If you came from Velda's blog you're on the track. If you just came across the hop and would like to start at the beginning, the hop starts at the OWH Stars & Stamps blog where you can find all the blog hop details and complete list of all the stops. You will want to read to the bottom of my post to see how you can win some Amber Ink blog candy.

For my card, I decided to use Jen Del Muro's Sketch For You To Try (SFYTT) which is being sponsored by Amber Ink for the month of March.




I used Bunny Hug from Amber Ink. I think this is just the sweetest image which can be used for all kinds of occasions. I actually love the entire Bunny Love line. The the bunnies are colored with Copic makers with a little Fun Flock added to their tails. Of course I had to use October Afternoon papers. (I love OA!)

I hope you will get a chance to play along with SFYTT this month for your chance to win some Amber Ink product. See the SYTT blog for the details.

Remember, if you would like to send in cards to OWH for the spring holidays, there are a couple of deadlines you should keep in mind. The Easter deadline is March 18th and the Mother's Day deadline is March 31st. You can check the OWH Mail Room for more information on how to send in your cards.

If you have time, check out the blog comments from our heroes who have received cards from OWH. They truly appreciate the cards they are sent. I love reading these messages.





Your next stop on the OWH Bunny Hop is PAPER ADDICT CATHERINE. If you get lost along the way or if there is a broken link, you will be able to find the complete blog hop list on the OWH Stars & Stamps blog.





Now for the details on how to win the blog candy. I am being sponsored by Amer Ink today and will be giving away the digital image, Bunny Hug, that I used on my project today to one random commenter.



Here's what you need to do to win-

1) Stop by the Amber Ink store and pick out your favorite product. It can be any Amber Ink product - digi stamps, clear stamps, or ipaper.

2) Enter your name in the linky tool below. After your name, include the name of your favorite Amber Ink product. (i.e.: Cheryl - Bunny Hug) If you do not have your own blog address, you can use mine but be sure to leave a comment with your email so I can get a hold of you if you win.

3) Please leave me a comment. You don't have to in order to qualify for the candy drawing but I love getting them. :)

4) Entries will end Monday, March 7th, at 5 pm CST. I will announce the random winner on my Amber Ink Torch Bearer post on Tuesday, March 6th.




Thank you for stopping by! Have a great week end!

Susan said...

great card adorable digi! I just purchased it and a few others. **IF** by some miracle I am the one chosen, I'd love to pick a different bunny if allowed, I ordered the hug, and the flowers, bunny hug, some bunny loves you (sentiments) and the carrot heart cluster.

I like the best fishes stamp set, because is actually has a SALT WATER fish in it. (swordfish) My hubby is an AVID salt water fisherman, and we live at the Jersey shore...so MANY are. We vend at fishing flea markets in the winter. I make cards, and other paper gifts as well as tumbled Natural Italian stone coasters and magnets. and so far- EVERY single fishing stamp or fishing set that companies have come out with are ALL fresh water fish.

I need to find some actual stamps that are or depict salt water fishing.

anyway, thanks for sharing.
Susan
