Wow! It's Friday already ~ I can't believe how fast the weeks are flying by. And what a whopper of a storm we had last night and this morning with Tropical Storm Bonnie - massive rains, our pool overflowed and the ground had inches of rain when I took the poor doggies out :x
Today's card is a long overdue post of a card I made awhile back for my dear friend Paola's Asian card swap - one I missed, sadly, when my dh fell ill and ended up in the hospital. I still wanted to send my sunshine friend her hostess card anyway, unless she hosts a 2nd Asian swap and then I'll be first! Hee hee! :)
I created this faux pocket card (not sure if that's for real, I just made it up since I invented a few different folds for this, lol) using my beloved Haiku Bunny stamp - loved so much it had never seen ink in the 2 years I've owned it! Dh saw me admiring this one day and it's been super hard to find - in fact, this sold for over $300.00 on ebay once! Insane, I tell ya! And one day, while surfing the net, there it was on a site that I bought my treasured Kodomo stamps from (you may remember my Asian Kit-Cat card post with my other kittens!) They had a few left in stock for less than $11.00 - ohh that poor ebayer! :( Dh bought it instantly for me without me even asking - I nearly cried. He said it was for my birthday that was 2 weeks away but it's just the way he is always so kind and thoughtful - he truly has a beautiful soul.
And he was the inspiration behind putting this card together - it came together so easily and without struggling for once!

Side by Side again!
And that's the tale of the Haiku Bunny that is now hopping is way to Canada :)
Thanks for stopping by today,
