More bunnies!


I'm at home but I'm still working 40 hours a week. There's not any EXTRA time for card making, but I did put another bunny card together.

This bunny, and his big carrot are cut with Spellbinder's Small Die of the Month for March 2020 called "24 Carrot".  The scalloped panel behind the carrot is from an older Spellbinders die, big scalloped ovals, large, I think.

The pattered paper is old and the cover is gone, so I don't know what it is. The gems I stuck on are from Amazon.  The card base is part of the old Paper Studios set that I'm trying to use up. And finally, the bunny stamped on the envelope is from an old Lawn Fawn set. The inside says "Happy Easter", of course.

COVID-19 madness.

Yes, that's me in a face mask I made from quilting fabric. It has a twist tie along the top edge for shaping and a pocket opening if I care to put in a filter.

I have a new respect for health care professionals who have to wear these things and actually breathe and work in them. They are freaking HOT. No wonder hospitals are kept so cold.

The first prototype was too small for my face. Or perhaps I put too much pleating in. Anyway, I plan on making a bunch of these for myself and others.

At this time there has been no local call for them, but several hospitals in other parts of the country are desperate enough to ask for donations of them and publish instructions.It's only a matter of time before people start scalping others for these too. Let's not talk about folks hoarding basics like hand sanitizer (understandable) or toilet paper (WTF?)

I'm going to be working from home for the next 2 weeks, then I'll be back at the library working in the mostly empty building.  Staff is divided in half and each is 2 weeks at work and 2 weeks at home.  The public is limited to phone in reference and curbside pickup of materials for the next few weeks or months.

Everyone, please do your part and stay back and safely away from others.

Bunnies!

Bunnies!  These bunnies are part of the March Spellbinders'Small Die of the Month.  They call it a kit sometimes, but it's really just the dies. And what dies they are!

This is the first time since I've been subscribing that I've used the dies in the same month I got them. Heck, it's the same week, too!

The paper is left over from a Simon Says Stamp kit from several years ago.  I seem to recall there were bunny peeps in that one.

I have had the photo realistic grass in my stash since my scrap booking days, about 10 years ago.

I was so inspired that I brought out some paper I've had that long and used some of it up, too.  Actually it's leftovers from the "throwing them together" post from the last time. Who am I kidding?


I made the envelope with the printed side inside so that it would be easy to address and put through the mail.
