CASology 34 - Sometimes a Bunny is just a Bunny


This week's CASology Cue Card is Bunny!



Try as I might, I could not come up with an out of the box bunny idea, so I used our family's favourite bunny, Miffy Bunny.  I used a colouring page I found using Google, printed on Neenah Solar White and coloured with Copics. To keep the colourful card CAS, I used a narrow black frame and a white card base.

When Kate was about 18 months old, she had a Miffy Bunny top. So did another little girl in the day care. If that girl ever wore her Miffy shirt on a day that Kate wasn't wearing hers, Kate would have a fit, thinking this girl was wearing her top. We actually had to speak to the parents and arrange "Miffy days", where both girls would wear their tops and there would be no hysterics!

Here she is in her Miffy top at my in-laws' house in Scotland in 2004:


It's hard to believe that today is Kate's 10th birthday! Where has the time (and my baby!) gone?

Now it's your turn to show us your bunny cards - be quick like a bunny and don't forget to link up before the deadline on Sunday at 4:00 pm CST.

Here are the links to the blogs of the other DT members - go check out their bunny creations!

    OMG! Kate is such a sweetie pie! Love her sports car. You do know that she is going to want a real one soon!

    The free coloring pages really are a great place to find some cool images that are easy to resize and don't have watermarks.

    Love the vibrant colors that you used on your card. Awesome job with the Copics Ardyth! Don't you just love his little "X" nose!

    Beautiful! I love Miffy! I still have my first Miffy book. It's about 40 years old now... maybe a little older. It is coloured in (by a 5 year old me) with added notes and pictures. :-) I read that book to my five year old these days.

    Happy Birthday, Kate! My eldest daughter is 10, too. :-)

    Whaat? Is that even allowed? Hahaha, good thing you do "straight-forward" just as well as you do "out-of-the-box!" LOVE that you don't shade with your Copics. So very CAS.
