Bunny Loving

I hope you all had a wonderful Easter/Bank Holiday weekend. At long last the sun is out, even if it is still a tiny bit nippy; there is promise in the air that Summer is on the way, I can smell it. I made Easter nests - the best Easter treat in my opinion - did a bit of pottering about in the garden and rabbit shed with Phil and did an education morning at Cineworld in Cambridge about rabbits NOT being good Easter gifts for children, that a hutch is not enough and adopting is better than buying. 

Keeping with the theme I thought I'd share the custom iPhone case from Caseapp that I won in Jaz xo's  giveaway last month. I was super excited to get straight down to it and start designing my case, I knew I wanted a bunny theme as I'm quite clearly a crazy bunny lady, so it was only appropriate. I initially designed the case with a photo I'd taken of my two but, when it came to it, the design interface told me the image was too small. It was a good quality jpeg as it was taken on my DSLR but I didn't want to risk it, so I went with my second choice, a tiled background image I created in photoshop. 

Here it is! Eep!
Isn't it cute? I absolutely adore it. It came out in the exact colours I had uploaded and the quality is great. You can feel where the rabbits are printed on the background colour so I just hope they don't scratch off easily from being in and out of my pockets constantly. You can choose from transparent, white, black, light pink, dark pink and cyan blue sides and as you can see, I went with transparent. You can add text and upload more than one image which is great if you want to create a collage and you can resize images to your heart's content. They're only £19 and, considering I paid £30 for my other iPhone case and considering personalised items are normally more highly priced, these are great value. This case is much thinner than my other one so this will be reserved for my non clumsy days, but I look forward to being able to change my cases around like I would my bags. 
Personalised cases certainly aren't what they used to be are they? I remember being a teen with a Nokia 3200 which came with a 'cutter' that could be used to cut photos and pictures to the right size to pop inside the clear case. I tried it with a Busted picture from a magazine and I'm pretty sure I failed miserably. 

Writing this I've just polished off a Cadbury's rabbit. Yum.


Have any of you tried custom phone cases?

    1. I knew straight away that this print would be on my short list. I originally made it as a background image but it never really worked as one. xx
