Bunnies!


If I was more on the ball there would be actual bunnies in with these pics.  One of my coworkers raises a whole farm load of creatures and brings them in to school for her students to learn about.  She has the sweetest rabbits among her menagerie.  Alas, you must settle for my paper version of cuteness. :)

All my bunnies and papers came from my LSS which closed its doors this weekend.  I thought it might be fun to play with all the goodies I bought during their final sales.  My DH is amused that I chose to sit on the floor of the living room to die cut lots of "wabbits".

The reason he is amused is the reason I have been sitting on the floor in the living room.  You see it is the best chance for me to spot the pair of red-tailed hawks that are nesting in our backyard.  I've spotted the male and the female in our yard.  It would be hard to miss the female- she's massive!  I had to google hawks because I thought she was too big to be a hawk.  They are totally gorgeous, but they have scared away my songbirds. :(

So anyway, DH thinks it is funny that I am making paper rabbit goodies while looking for hawks.  :} I figure at some point the hawks will grown bored with my side of the pond, especially when the ice finally thaws and they can get at the fish so I'm taking advantage of their "up closeness" while I can.  After all how many times will I have them about 10 feet away from me?  How often will I want them that close?!?  Maybe they are interested in paper bunnies after all...

Enjoy your Tuesday & if you see Spring tell her to come to visit me!

Orange You Glad


It's Friday!  No school today so I'm enjoying a cuppa while I surf blogland. :)  Thought I'd share a pretty bouquet and card that kinda coordinates.  Think I am on an orange kick lately.
A couple weeks ago a friend and I took a MFT class from this great gal Katie.  One of the stamps we used was this little bunny- Sooooooo uber cute!  Of course she had come home with me to join my other MFT stamps. :)
Remember that box o' cherries set?  Well there is an orange one in the works (sneak peek below) and some scraps were hanging out on my table.  Those little pieces (MME Bloom and Grow "grow") were already cut in such fun widths and patterns!  Mounted on the kraft card base, they made for a fun backdrop for the orange bunny (MME Fine and Dandy "tickled pink" 6x6 pad).  Bunny was pop dotted and mounted on a rectangle of green/white patterned paper (We R Memory Keepers-Cotton Tail)
I adore hyacinths, but you forget how potent they are!  This bouquet is downstairs in the powder room and I can smell it all the way upstairs whilst I am in bed!!!
Here is the sneaky-peeky of the orange box set I am working on.  More finished pics coming next week!

I've hippity-hopped here with this creation:
