I sure hope the trucking business picks up. I have too much time on my hands. I wanted to give this punched bunny another try. I wanted it to be jumping over a fence. I turned today's sketch. I made my gate for panel 3. I used my word window punch to make the fence posts. The gate is an oval that I cut the bottom off. I scored the gate 3 times and added a brad handle. I used 3 different brown colored pencils to make the faux wood.
Bunny was so excited to see a bowl of harvested carrots just sitting in the middle of the field. Mrs. Farmer had just picked them when she heard a scream coming from the farm house. Her darling children were inside so of course she dropped everything to see what had happened. The youngest child had dipped his cup into the fish bowl and scooped out the family pet. He proceeded to pour the poor fish onto the floor. The fish flopping on the farm house floor as three frantic children tried to catch it was the scene that greeted Mrs. Farmer. In all the hullabaloo of rescuing the fish she forgot the carrots. All the better for bunny. Now he can take them back to Cindy's teaparty to share with the other bunnies.

This is a great idea. I didn't ever think to do something like this. I actually thought the idea of this layout looked like an envelope. I like what you created here and everything is so pretty.

Awww I LOVE what you did with all those punches! Papercrafting genius! A girl after Mothermark's heart, too...and I liked YOUR story! I thought Mrs. Farmer ran inside, though, because her kids were having a food fight with the OTHER carrot cake she made, hee!
