Hippity Hoppity Easter's On It's Way!

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.  


Many All of my team mates from Double D's Challenge has joined in on a challenge going on over at Cut It Up, this is a new challenge blog for me and one I think I'll be visiting more often.  The challenge is to follow the theme and be sure to use  a die cut.  We all have lots of those, right?

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:


I'll also be adding one of these cards to the following challenges:

Word Art Wednesday ~ Anything Goes
The Library Challenge ~ Egg Drop

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!!

What wonderful cards and I love the hopping bunny images. These cards are super fun!

Kathy Krug said...

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.

Conniecrafter said...

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!

Amelia Breytenbach said...
