Normally we do our grocery shopping midweek after work, when it's quieter, but poor old Toad has been so late home this week that we postponed the inevitable until yesterday morning. It was absolute bedlam (is is just me or do some folks treat it as a family outing?!) and I think in all the chaos my mojo fell into the freezer section with the sprouts - it's certainly nowhere else to be found at the moment LOL! Anyway, had a little play, just for fun this afternoon and came up with a couple of very simple and quick birthday cards -
I love this Lili Of The Valley bunny with balloon, and thought he'd be perfect for my morning bus-buddy, James, as it has become compulsory now to count the bunnies on the golf course as the bus crawls past! Paper/cardstock is PaperCellar and DCWV. Image coloured with ProMarkers.
And the bunny's cupcake put me in mind of this fab image from High Hopes called Sweet Little Thing. I had coloured him up before I thought about papers and sentiment but I think the colours in the PaperMania Sweet Nothings works pretty well and the Penny Black sentiment seemed perfect. Well, it made me smile anyway!
Hope you are having wonderful weekends, whatever you are up to. Thanks for popping over to see me.
Hugs,
Squirrel xx

Hey I love these!! Oh hell I try to dip in and out the shopping lark! 30mins in the shop is enough it one go! mind you I do not buy meat or fish from the supermarket, butchers & fishmongers are brilliant in town on route home :0)
