Trendy Twine's Bunny Hop~ Hop Hop

Welcome to the Trendy Twine Bunny Hop!!!
 A hop all about Bunnies and Spring AND the introduction of the newest color
 #45~ Bubblegum Taffy to the Trendy Twine family!
Isn't it beautiful!!! OOOOOHHH I think this is my new favorite color!!!
The colors are so pretty and perfect for all sorts of projects!!
A must have for sure!!!

You should be coming from the Trendy Twine blog HERE
if not hop back~ get it~ hop.... bunny...hop...HAHA 
ok sorry but really hop back to the start and check out all the info on this fun event, the prizes from our AWESOME sponsors and to check out this gorgeous new color!
Now for my project...I made an Easter Bunny Milk Carton using products from a bunch of our sponsors. 
Here it is....
Awww how cute right?? I love how this turned out and I'm thinking my son has already claimed it for one of his teacher :) Of course if she is reading this, which I know she pops in and does sometimes~ it will be filled with chocolate :)
I used the Milk Carton file from The Cutting Cafe, sized it down a bit and cut it using my cameo. The grass~ a file from the Silhouette store was also cut with my cameo.
Since we are showcasing this gorgeous new color of twine here is a close-up of how I used it~ a bunny tail of course. Pom Poms are one of my favorite ways to use twine and I just this this little guy was screaming for a poofy tail. 
The sweet bunny and my button flowers are from My Creative Time. Don't you just LOVE them?? They are from February's new release.  I doubled up the buttons and added more twine through the center to hold them in place.
This brings us to the top of the milk carton... I used another MCT die for the tag and die cut some more buttons. The sentiment is from The Alley Way Stamps~Spring has Sprung stamp set and the whole container is tied up with some gorgeous 3GJ crinkle ribbon (which I ironed out) in Christmas Candy
