Good morning stamplings~ How are you doing dealing with all this social isolation and mandatory time out at home? I confess that it's been harder on me than I originally thought it would be, but thanks to my sweet friends and design team mates from Double D's Challenges, they've lifted my spirits and brightened my outlook. I've been spending way too much time sitting on the couch watching waaaayyyy too much news. So my dear friend Darlene from Dar's Crafty Creations challenged me to get off the couch and get crafty.
I've had these Sizzix Bunny Hop dies sitting in my pile of NBUS just begging to be used. I love the playful, dancing images of these darling bunnies and paired with the Funky Foliage dies, they're a match made in heaven.
Don't these bunnies just make your heart glad? The over sized Easter egg is from Memory Box Half Dozen Eggs. I added a bow to each of these fine fella's from Lil' Inkers Bunnies & Bows. The grass is cut using Elizabeth Craft Designs Adventure Edges and everything is framed using Elizabeth Craft Designs Stitched Rectangles.
I hope you're staying well and keeping a healthy outlook during this difficult time in our world. It will pass eventually and never again will I take for granted, the freedom to visit friends and family and the ability to take a deep breath. Nor will I ever forget the gift of friendship to lift my spirits.
Below are links so you can visit each of my friends blogs to see their creations for this challenge:

Fabulous cards, Birgit! Love those dancing bunnies and funky foliage. Very whimsical! Thanks for joining our Cut It Up, "Hopping Down the Bunny Trail" Challenge.
Super cute~cute cards, love those adorable bunnies, now why don't I have those, hmmm...adding to my list!! All three cards are beautifully designed with all those super cool dies you have used. We all get in a 'funk' sometimes and it's okay to sit back for a bit, but I am sure glad you now have your mojo back, I am trying to let it not get to me and creating does help with that ...a lot!! Everyday I do say, 'I just want my life back', simple as it was, I still miss it...take care my friend!!
Oh Birgit, what a fabulous die, absolutely adorable in all ways. I am glad you got your mojo back and we all miss the life we had...Thanks for our fabulous team we have in contributing to such a world wide sadness by all getting together to craft and join in.This brings happiness to every one to enable them, encourage them to craft.xx
Oh I adore that jaunty fabulous hopping bunny, he's quite fantastic! I have learned to turn off the news! We have an early dinner...like super early, done by 5:30 and then we watch 2 or 3 episodes of Ozark on Netflix....really makes you feel a whole lot better about our own life lol Plus Jason Bateman with that boyish charm lol....cuuuute! Be well my friend, more rain today, but back to the gardens when the sun shines--see you there! xoxo
Wowee! Look at all of the creativity. Love these cards and all of the die cuts that have never been used. You go t it girl!

I love the vintage-y look to all 3 of them too and those toadstools are also ADORABLE!! Cute, CUTE cards my friend!! Hugs. :0)
Thanks for joining us! We are delighted you all came over to Cut It Up to share! Love your bunny cards; so delightful hopping around the cards with all the other wonderful dies! Perfect for our challenge; came back and see us again at Cut It Up! ~Katrina
What wonderful cards and I love the hopping bunny images. These cards are super fun!
Love your card set. It is fun to see how just changing the background makes a card look different. This was a fun idea. the bunnies are too much fun.
I totally understand Birgit, I have learned we need to get just enough news to see if there is any modifying we need to do of how we are living our lives and then go on to something else. I have had a few breakdowns myself, but thankfully the Lord picks me back up. Praying that for you!
Your cards is just wonderful, I so love how you changed up the eggs on each card and love the way you used the funky florals with them, fantastic easter scenes!
Super cute cards Birgit and those bunnies are sooo cute. I love the way you showcase them on background with the whimsical flowers. Have a happy Easter.
Those rabbits sure are kicking up their heals in joy aren't they! These are terrific Birgit. Stay well XO
What a great design and I love seeing the different variations - love the soft colours too. Thanks for joining The Library.
Yes, these bunnies just make my heart glad, Birgit! And I can use that right now, so thank you! They are all really outstanding! Great job using your NBUS; everyone would love for you to share at the new NBUS challenge website! (mynbus dot blogspot dot com) I so agree with you about all the things I will never take for granted again and I hope the world never forgets! Take care, stay safe and Happy Easter! Hugs, Darnell
These cards are gorgeous! I love the die cut images and your color palette choices! Really nice job! Thanks so much to the Double D Team for choosing Cut It Up! and playing along with our challenge!
