Hoppy Easter

This card was inspired by somebody! I wish I could remember who . . . The card I loved was done with a lamb and the message was "thank you" although it could have been "thank ewe"! I changed it up (a lot) with different color paper, and the bunny instead of the lamb - and Happy Easter! I down-played the ribbons (compared to the original) and I'm pretty happy with the resulting card!

If you haven't tried liquid applique - it's very easy to use and so much fun! For the bunny, I put a thin line of liquid applique from the tube in a circular motion all over the bunny. I didn't wait (as the instructions say to) but hit it with the heat gun right away. It puffs up and looks like soft, curly fur. I like my bunnies curly, don't you?

Story for today - A work day, and definitely a Monday! Yikes! We had a wind storm last night - and I knew it was pretty bad because the wind chimes on my porch were like a heavy metal concert and actually kept me awake for awhile. This morning when I came out to the kitchen, looking out into my back yard, I saw that my patio table was upset and the umbrella was . . . well, where could it be ? . . . . OH, there it is! I was so excited to see it, that I threw open the patio door - and set off the alarm system! BELLS AND WHISTLES! Oh dear. After thanking the nice lady at the alarm company for caring enough to call me - I saved my umbrella and went about my day. Normally I would have been worried that the week started so strangely - but, heh! It got better after that!! Hope your Monday was a good one.
