Treasure Hunts, Pixie Pouches and Easter Bunnies. What do these have in common? I am excited that I get to give the first clue in the Rubbernecker Treasure Hunt. I wanted to play in the Technique Lover's Challenge which was to make Pixie Poucges and decided to make an Easter pocket to send to my husband's great niece. Give all of this thought for the clue to the treasure while I tell you a little about my project.
This little Easter Bunny is from the Rubbernecker Easter collection. I dug through my stacks of designer paper and found this two sided coordinating paper and thought it was perfect for this little bunny. I used paper piecing to create the hat, bow, dress and basket. If you don't know, paper piecing is a fun way to add lots of punch to your creations. All you do is stamp your images on a designer paper of your choice, cut out parts and piece them together over the image stamped on your main layer. You can pop up some of the images for added depth. After I finished my bunny I sponged on a little color and added some texture and flowers to the image. I think this is so cute. I used three different egg images from the Easter collection as well and piled them up on the card pocket layer. OK. So have you figured out what the first clue is for the treasure. You just need to go to Rubberneckers and go to the Easter collection to start your journey. If you don't go....well...I can't be responsible.
To top it all off, for those of you who have been patient and read all the way through my blog article. I am giving away blog candy. Really good blog candy. All you have to do to claim the candy is leave me a comment and tell me how long you have been stamping. I have been stamping for five years. Oh....and do you want to know what the blog candy is.........???
GuessWhat!!!! I forgot to mention that there are three other design team members giving away blog candy today as well. Check out their links.
I think I am in my 4th year of stamping, it all seems to blur together when you are having this much fun!!!

I have been stalking you on SCS for quite awhile as your artistic talent is unbelievable. Nobody can make the Flakey Friends come alive as much as you can. Thank you for sharing your God given talent with me and all the other Kitty-wanna-be's:)

the bunny pouch is great. i have only been stamping for about 6 mo. hope to keep at it for a long time.
Posted by: julie | January 22, 2008 at 10:24 PM
How sad is this? I had to look at my catties to see when I started stamping!! I think I'm starting on my 4th year (and when I see you've stamped for 5....I need to work on my stamping more! lol!!) I admit that I never thought it would consume my spare time as much as it does! I enjoy it and look forward to progressing more this year!

I've been stamping for a couple of years now. I seem to be in a stamping slump right now. All I do is buy supplies and read blogs. I need start stamping.
Posted by: Sheila | January 22, 2008 at 07:51 PM
I really like your project! Cute idea to put crayons in the pocket! I have been stamping for a little over 5 years.
Posted by: BonnieH | January 22, 2008 at 07:06 PM
Love your bunny pouch! Very creative & beautifully colored! I've started my 6th year of stamping.
Posted by: Linda C. | January 22, 2008 at 06:59 PM
I've been stamping for about a year! I'm so grateful for finding this hobby! Thanks for the chance!
Posted by: pegg | January 22, 2008 at 06:56 PM
I wish that I could say I had been stamping for five years and have my projects look like yours! But I can't and that is okay too, since I love doing it no matter what the result! I have been stamping since 1980 - that is when I bought my first stamp - which I still have! I didn't spend a lot of time doing it and took many years off inbetween when the kids were little. Now I stamp almost every day! I enjoy seeing your cards, Kittie!
Posted by: Judy (StampingQueenJAR) | January 22, 2008 at 06:12 PM
I've been stamping for over 12 years now. My sister and I started out by buying a couple stamps at Michaels and teaching ourselves what we know today.

Hiya Kittie! Cute, cute, cute!! Really like your bunny crayon holder! I have been stamping one year this February! So little time, so many stamps! Enjoy your blog! TFS

I haven't been stamping long - only about a year or two, but I've really enjoyed reading all the great blogs & getting neat projects to try!

I've been stamping now for 3 going on 4 years...
Posted by: Aimee | January 22, 2008 at 04:55 PM
I'm not exactly sure how long I have been stamping.... it's been at least 7 years. I got into stamping because I thought it would be cool to use in my scrapbooking. Now I hardly ever scrapbook (I am WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY behinder than ever).
Posted by: Purpleflowers | January 22, 2008 at 03:47 PM
I have been stamping about 7 years and am more addicted than ever! You are an amazing artist, thanks for all the inspiration!
Posted by: Kim Forsyth | January 22, 2008 at 03:46 PM
I have been stamping for about 7 years. Well I haven't really been stamping that whole time. I got into scrapping for awhile there but just recently started stamping again and I'm loving it. That bunny pouch is too cute!
Posted by: WendyP | January 22, 2008 at 03:45 PM
Wow, thanks for a chance to win. I have been scrapping & stamping for 9 years and I am totally addicted.

That is an adorable bunny on the pouch and great piecing. tfs
I have been stamping less than 1 year-I made a scrapbook but didn't do any stamping on it. I was checking scrapping online and ran on to SCS and that is when my stamping started. I have just been getting all the basics together and one thing leads to another!! (grin)

I startes making cards a little over a year and stamping I would say around 7 months. When I moved into my new house I met a neighbor that she was and is a SU Demo, how cool is that!!!!
So, since then I am learning a lot.
Keeping fingers crossed.
God bless you

I love your crayon case it is so cute. My daughters would love to have one of these. I will have to look through my stash of stamps and make a few. Thanks for the great idea.
Posted by: Kate | January 22, 2008 at 12:56 PM
Hi Kittie,
Even though I look and don't comment; I check your cards every day! They are great inspiration and I always get ideas from them. I ordered some butterflies from Rubbernecker - they have some beautiful images.
Keep up the great work and I will keep looking for inspiration! You are the BEST!
Posted by: Cerinda | January 22, 2008 at 12:21 PM
I started stamping 3 years ago, and now I am a stamp addict! LOL!

HI Kittie! I guess you could call me a relatively "new" stamper. I've been stamping for about a year and a half. I love it and was immediately addicted!
Posted by: Angie | January 22, 2008 at 11:26 AM
wow, great candy! I have been stamping for about 5 years also! Wow, just counted and I can't believe it has been that long!!!
Posted by: Lisa C. | January 22, 2008 at 11:24 AM
I have been stamping on and off for over twenty years. My stamps sat in the attic for a few years when my kids were growing up but I got them all down again about 8 years ago and have been having a blast ever since. I cannot imagine NOT stamping. I am having my cousins children oon Sunday afternoon and am looking forward to teaching them a little bit about the craft. Theey are 8 and 3 so look at my gallery to see what they made! Hugs to you Kittie!!!
Posted by: nancyruth | January 22, 2008 at 11:15 AM
Oh, what great candy! I have been stamping over 10 years but wasn't a serious stamper until I found Splitcoast. Now I'm a complete addict who doesn't want treatment.
Posted by: Beth M | January 22, 2008 at 11:14 AM

I have been stamping for two years...

Hi Kittie! Your pouch is great! I am going to make these for my son's kindergarten class for Valentine's Day. I like the idea of putting crayons in them!
I have been stamping for about 11 years now, and guess what I did today??? I have only used SU! stamps in all those 11 years and today I placed my first Rubberneckers order! I am so excited about it! I can't wait to get my old characters and start playing with them!!! WooHoo!

Hi Kittie: I love your pixie pouches, your bunny is so soft and sweet. I have been admiring your work for the past two years at SCS and love your blog. You are an amazing artist. Now, I have some rubber stamps that have the dates of 1984-85-86 on them. When my daughter was very young we went to some stamp classes at a stamp store. Lots of princesses, fairies and butterflies. That fell by the way side when the little brother was born. My next exprience stamping was six years ago when a SU demo came to our Creative Memories workshop to show us how to stamp in our scrap books. That was the end of scrapbooking for me. I've been a SU demo for six years. Thanks for the blog candy, it's a doozie!
Posted by: Rose Kerry | January 22, 2008 at 10:05 AM
Hi Kittie! I LOVE your pixie pouch! It's darling! I love a good treasure hunt... and wow! Blog candy! Maybe I'll get lucky enough to win. I need some cheer... BIL brought his sick kid over this weekend and now my whole house is sick. Some people! But I'm home for the treasure hunt! Oh yah, I've been stamping for 4.5 years.
Posted by: Jen70 | January 22, 2008 at 09:57 AM
I have been stamping for a little over 2 years...Thanks so much for the chance to win & for all of the work you put on this great blog! Your work is just super - I hope I can be as good as you someday! ;0)

AWESOME candy!! I've been stamping for 4 years. I started out scrapbooking, but then got into stamping...so I love to stamp on my scrapbook pages. Thanks!
Posted by: Cheryl Kelly-Van Domelen | January 22, 2008 at 09:42 AM
I was a scrapbooker and cardmaker, but kept saying I am NOT a stamper. Well, it wasn't long and I couldn't get enough stamps and copics and and and..... :) It's been about 2 years now that I have enjoyed stamping and make it a regular part of my card making. (Love your blog Kittie - and beautiful cards!)
Posted by: Kim | January 22, 2008 at 09:31 AM
Your crayon pouch is so, so cute! That bunny is precious! I believe I have been stamping for around 8 years off and on. I didn't get totally addicted until about 5 years ago :o)

Hi! I've been stamping for 2 years. Thanks, Kathy
Posted by: Kathy Hering | January 22, 2008 at 09:26 AM
I'm fairly new to stamping and definitely new to cardmaking, but your work has inspired me! I love the shading on your cards. You've also introduced me to a new stamp company. I've just placed my first order with Rubbernecker Stamps! I'll be sure to keep your blog bookmarked so I can get more inspiration from your great work.
Posted by: Stella | January 22, 2008 at 09:25 AM
Hi! I have been stamping for 2 years now. A friend invited me to a Stampin Up party and ever since that, I can't get enough stamps. Thanks for the chance at the awesome blog candy. Kathy...
Posted by: Kathy Hering | January 22, 2008 at 09:23 AM
I've been stamping for 4 years. My girlfriend introduced me to stamping when I retired because I didn't have any hobbies. Well, I kind of went crazy with ordering stamps, paper, copics, etc. My spare bedroom is now my stamping room.
Your cards are just so cool. I just love how you add the backgrounds. Most of the time I print out your cards and try to duplicate but I think I need a lot of help. Do you make house calls??
