Happy Anniversary to the Bo Bunny Blog! I'm almost at a loss for words...well almost. One year ago the Bo Bunny blog kicked off and started sharing, inspiring and well...sharing some more.
It's honestly hard for me to believe we've been around a year already. A year of beautiful layouts and card created by our Design Team, fun altered projects that have you reaching to grab that item before it's thrown out, amazing 3 dimensional creations by Carole, challenges, contests and best of all....lots of product giveaways.
I mean what is a blog without fun giveaways am I right?!
To kick off this week...I thought it was only fitting to first take a stroll down memory lane. I asked if everyone would share some of their favorite posts....or favorite projects from this past year to kick things off.
Here's some of the responses....
Dee
I enjoyed the Ad Challenge A LOT! Not only was it inspiring for me to go in search of an ad...and then to create a layout using the ad as inspiration...but it was also really fun to see what the rest of the DT did!! Fun ads...great projects!
And speaking of Ad Challenges...thank you to everyone who participated. We'll be doing that again as that was a definite hit! Look for the winner to be announced...at the end of this post!
Kris
That is hard!! But I’d have to say when looking through the posts… the things that always wow me are Carole’s stuff. I can’t help it… Every time the word amazing crosses my mind, I can almost put money that it will be Carole’s.
Sara
So I have been trying to figure what my favorite post is………………how hard, I love so many of them. Finally I decided to think about the projects I had to have, the winner is New Year Party Set by Kristen Swain. My other fave is the Father’s day projects!
Shanna

Happy Anniversary! The one post that still keeps me thinking is one recently right around Father's Day that had a mini-album/frame that Shanna created. That project has just remained on my mind nonstop since then.
Congrats on your one year anniversary! Here's to many more!! My favorites include anything by Shanna. She is my fave designer-I can spot her work anywhere! I especially love that Father's Day album made using an acrylic frame. I plan on making several of those as gifts, using Bo Bunny of course!!
Woohoo! Happy Anniversary!
My favorite projects have been the ones using the Abbey Road collection (Easter Wall-Hanging, Welcome "Home"). It is my favorite scrappy line!
I'm also a big fan of the Shirt & Tie Father's Day card. Just so cute and inventive.
Congratulations on your one year blog anniversary! I'm looking forward to many more years of BoBunny! One of my favorite posts is the 3 Dimensional Card using "Popsicle". The colors are vibrant and scream "summer fun".
Happy 1 Year Anniversary. My favourite posts are the ideas using specific lines, in particular the popsicle line!!
Happy Anniversary!!!!! wow that is sooo exciting.. I think I enjoyed the posts from all the guest DT, they always kinda bring a different style out and just love seeing what they created!!!! LOVE what the new lines have been and their projects that have been posted with them
Hey I am working with a line of yours for a Design Team and someone told me I should check out your blog!
Here is the first layout I did...

Thanks for looking!

Happy Anniversary!
Everything about the Love Shack Line, I am awestruck by that collection. It's so totally me.
Happy Anniversary!!! And here's to many, many more! I'm a card maker so I appreciate all things 'card'. I love the occasional sketches. Also, there was a project with instructions right before Father's Day. The shirt and tie card. So, so cute! Love that. Will have to give it a shot! Thanks for sharing this year with us! I look forward to the next one!
Happy anniversary Bo Bunny! I am so thrilled to be playing with one of your lines as a DT kit this month. You can see my first project on my blog here...

happy anniversary, i think my favorite posts have been the ones where you show off new product and i just start getting exciting to own the product and make my own projects. Keep the ideas coming.
wow one year already?!where has time gone?! i just have to say i love the inspiration you all give is the lovelyest par of this blog! all the lovely cards and lo that you have shown us with those lovely papers ar just an inspiration every time!
hugs

Well, I haven't been visiting a whole year but just off the top of my head the things that I remember most are the new product peeks. I saw calypso and fell in love with the colors. I watched and waited for it at one of my favorite online stores and ordered it the day it came in. I always love seeing cards as well since that is what I make most. I especially liked the ones using the journaling blocks.
I can't believe it's been one year! I don't know how to pick my favorites!!! You have some of the best designers out there! I know I am always blown away with Tamara & Amber's designs. I'm a FAN!!!
I loved the Alissa line sneak peek.... it came at just the right time (after I bought the entire line at several scrapbook stores in our area during the Northwest Shop Hop). Happy Blogiversary!!
Happy Anniversary!!!
I have to say, I am fairly new to this blog, so for me, most recently, my fave has been the ad challenge!! Yes, I look at mags in a new light now. I realize how difficult it is to make an ad, make it effective, make it grab you and SELL a product. It has given me a new way to scrap! Loved it! The second fave are all of the father's day projects. I have such a hard time making "masculine" items, this was pure inspiration!!
Thanks for all of your ideas and the DT creative projects! Can't wait to see what is in store for year 2!
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY LOVEEEEEE CAROLE'S WELCOME HOME CARD! ONE OF MY FAVORITE LINES EVAHHHHH! BUT I LOVE ME SOME CAROLE ALSO!!!
THe SHirt and Tie Fathers Day Card Also is adorable!!!
I think that I must have found your blog right after you launched it. It is hard to say that just one post is my favorite. I have scraplifted from so many of them. I love your Abbey Road collection but I have also bought out my stores selection of your dog collection. It is just so darn cute. Thanks Bo Bunny for being around.
I really loved that you showed how to use the flex ruler. I'd seen it before but didn't think I needed it because it was just a ruler that folded up small for storage. I had no idea it held its shape and could make waves and other cool swirlies. Thanks and Happy Anniversary!
Congrats and happy anniversary. My favorite has got to be the pets entries! and the two dogs reading that book is out of this world cute and totally inspirational! :)
Happy anniversary!! I throughly enjoyed the product examples done with the Grease Monkey line. They really helped me when my crafting MOJO had left the "building".
I love Shanna's Our boy layout and my new fav line has to be the mango luau
Happy Anniversary...I know that I'm not alone is saying that I love your blog and look forward to many more years of ideas and inspiration. One that I keep wanting to do is the valentines chocolate box mini album...such a cute idea and it doesn't just have to be a chocolate box it could be any empty container. That is one thing I love about your blog...you show us so many ways to get ourselves inspired. Thank you and keep up the great work!
I really liked the projects in this post:
http://bobunny.blogspot.com/2009/03/going-greenrecyclereuse.html
I'm always looking for ways to reuse rather than pitch it in the trash. We don't have a recycling program in my area, so reduce and reuse and my best options!
Happy Anniversary. I have been following your blog for almost a year now. Your DT rocks! All the ladies are so very talented. I have scraplifted so many ideas that I should be embarrassed....but I am not... lol... Shanna listed so many of my recent favorite LO's/projects. I will also have to add her Father's Day mini album/frame. I am making those for Christmas gifts this year. I also enjoy the posts where we get to know more about the DT and creative minds behind BB products. Oh...the hops are fun too. I love Bo Bunny products. I have been a BB fan forever. Thank you for a great blog. Happy Anniversary. Sincerely, Melinda
The father's day shirt and tie card that you just post a few weeks ago is one of my favorites.
and of course I like the post after mother's day that said I was the winner.
Happy Anniversary! I visit often and love getting inspiration from all your layouts and projects. My favorites are anything boy related! So much out there is girly so it's nice that Bo Bunny thinks of the boys also. Keep it up!
Happy Anniversary!
I loved the father's day card made to look like a shirt and tie!
Happy Anniversary!! My anniverary was yesterday! 23 years with my wonderful hubby! I have loved lots of the projects, layouts, etc here on your blog!! Not only do they make me say "I want to go make that" they also MAKE ME NEED TO GO BUY THAT!! Love Bo Bunny!!!
I really liked the Make a Wish card that Tamara picked as hers...I love the colors and the design!
Happy blogaversary!!!
Happy Anniversary! I've only been religiously following the blog for about a month and a half, but it was still hard to pick a favorite post! I'm going to say it's a toss up between the ad challenge and the Popsicle reveal because I've still got a pile of ads I want to scraplift, and I just ordered the Popsicle line from ACOT! Thanks for providing me with SO much inspiration! :)
Happy Anniversary! I love this blog! I think my favorite post was the altoid tin covered with the Allysa line, and filled with custom magnets. I made my own and love it so much that I'm waiting for the right reason to give it away as a gift.
I have to say that the ad challenge was my favorite post. SO much creativity in the designers' takes on the ads! And - I thought Carole's Pool Fun and Tamara's Bounce were genius. Happy Anniversary! Looking forward for many more inspirational posts to come. :)
Congrats on your anniversary! I absolutely love the blog and appreciate all the wonderful ideas that the talented designers have shared. There are so many great ideas that I have seen but one I recreated for a sample at a crop and ladies went nuts over it. I sold tons of product because of it. It was the "Don't Bug Me" wall decor by Carole. I gave credit where it was due and told my customers to come here to the blog site!
Wow, I would say most of Shanna's project are totally fabulous.
Happy Anniversary to the blog and keep the challenges coming.
Happy anniversay! How can you make us choose??? I love all the projects with Abbey road but if I can only pick one project it would be the lo from "Swim Fun"
by Designer: Kristen Swain
Happy Anniversary!! I have been following along faithfully the whole year and I must say I can't name just one post or project. I love seeing all the fresh ideas, so just keep them coming!
Happy anniversary, there is ALWAYS such great eye candy on your blog, how does one pick? Love abbey road!
Wow, One year already! Were does the time go? Happy Anniversary with many more to go.
Favorite post... can't say that I have a favorite. This is the only blog I check daily because I love everything about it... especially the designs. Keep them coming!
Wow! Pick just ONE favorite project??? I just love all of the projects and ideas that are shared here! You have wonderful designers and I am in love with so many of the paper lines too... one of my favorites is the Creepy Crawlies layout. I have some photos of my 2 year old daughter playing with bugs that I am planning on doing a similar layout for.
Thanks for a great blog and the fun contests!
Congrats! One of my favorite posts is the 3D birthday set! It was s fun and bright!
happy blog-a-versary!!!
I love Bo Bunny everything but I love doing the word scrapbooks with the Bo Bunny products.
Happy Anniversary!!!!I like it all but I really liked the one from Shanna.The book she made for fathers day.Very nice.
Happy Anniversary Bo Bunny Blog!!
To pick just one post is hard but my favorite post of all time has to be..
Carole Jansons's '3 Dimensional Birthday Party Sert'
I loved that it was stap by step and when you looked at it it wasn't hard to do but the effect was so fun & bright.
Happy Anniversary. I can honestly say that when I get the email in my inbox that there is a new post, I get so excited. And I love everything Bo Bunny SO much that there is no way I can pick just one fave.....so I gotta say all of it :-)
Happy 1 Year Anniversary Bo Bunny! I love all of the projects posted on the blog and the site. I have to say one of my favorites was the Father's Day Dad's Desktop Brag Book
by Shanna Vineyard. It was very cute and a great idea. Keep up all the good work! Also love the guest designers you pick.
Happy Anniversary!
I too love Shanna's layout Siblings and have it as one to be scraplifted when I get the perfect photo!
Jenn in Vancouver
Congrats!
I'm a card nut so I love all of the cards that are posted on this blog.
I would have to say that the ad challenge was my favorite post to date! I found your site recently, via...well I don't remember exactly, might have been Kevin&Amanda's blog, anyways...I did not participate in the challenge but I want to do it anyways, not only in scrapbooking but in other designs I'm getting so many ideas, Iam very use to looking at ads and trying to decide what makes them work and what could be done better...what better thing to do then to try and recreat the lay out! So, yes...definitly the ad challenge post is best! Happy Anniversary!
Happy Anniversary!!! :o) I think my favorite posts was the one the the Alissa line was spotlighted... I remember how seeing the creations from the design team had me searching the net to add the Alissa line to my scrappy stash :)
oh...i do not think i can just name one thing that i loved the most. your projects are amazing. and i love everything i see. i have at least tried everything you show us. it may not look as good as yours...but i do try!
My favorite blog post since I have been watching is the 3D Birthday card. I LOVE this idea. I haven't had a chance to make one yet but it is definitely on my list of things to do!!
My favorite post is Carole's 3D Teen Chic layout last fall. I immediately lifted the layout...it's one of my favorites! Not far behind that are several layouts using the U Bug Me papers...LOVE that line!!!
Happy Anniversary!!! I love anything with Abby Road!
Hugs. Christine
Wow one year already!!!! Congrats! Choose one of my fav posts???? Thats hard they are all good but if I would have to say just one of my favorite posts it would have to be the fathers day ideas I love different ideas for different occassions!
MY favorite??? Can't pick just one! I just love seeing all the layouts...they inspire me and give me ideas on how to use Bo Bunny products in creative ways. LOVE IT!
Happy 1st Anniversary!! I love all the mini book ideas.
i have to say the blog hops were a ton of fun! i love going to see everyone's work and how you guys themed them.
my fave line of yours was the birthday line from a little awhile ago. it inspired me to do my FIRST birthday layout ever, LOL! i don't know why i took me so long to do one.
I'd have to say my favorite posts were those that showed layouts using your lines. You have a great DT and their layouts always inspire me and make me want to run out and get the products. I love getting my emails with notices that updates have been made on the blog. If I had to narrow it down further.....anything to do with the Mango Luau line. I was so excited and anxious to see this line in person and to see layouts on your blog using it.
Happy Anniversary and keep up the great work!!
Happy Anniversary! One of my favorite posts has to be the Christmas Acrylic Swag. I love Christmas and we decorate our whole house. The swag is a great way to personalize our home even more. This year I plan on making some for gifts.
COngratulations! I love anything that Shanna creates!
Happy Anniversary! There are sooo many projects that your DT has done that I love...the 14 challenge, the add challenge. But the ones that I actually went out and bought products so I could recreate were the BABY it's cold outside My Word album by Tamara and the Father's Day flip album on the stand up frame by Shanna. I've also bought many papers to recreate layouts from all the DT members who have shared on this blog. I also love the cards. Thanks soooo much to all of them for sharing their creative talents. You have a remarkable team!!!
Happy Anniversary! My favorite post are the Blog Hops to find the guess designers. So much inspiration. LOVE visiting everyone's blog and seeing what they create with Bo Bunny products. Especially the mini albums.
Happy Anniversary! Oh, there are so many projects that my jaw dropped over! I'll have to spend some time going back looking for them! This blog is just jam packed full of eye candy!
I love everything made with Calypso. It is one of my favorite lines that you created!
Wow, its been a year. It seems like I have looking at your blog a lot longer than that. I love all your posts, they give me such inspiration and awesome ideas for my scrapbooks.
Happy Anniversary! My favorite posts are the designer spots and the bunny hops! I always find tons of inspiration here on the blog.
Congratulations on your Anniversary! I love any layout that is for a boy. So many of your products are boy related and that makes me happy!
Feb: Simply Unforgettable, Carol Jansen's Wedding layout, shopping bag, all of it! Wow! That was stunning stuff!
WOW - 1 year already?!?! Happy Blogversary! I can't even remember how I stumbled upon your blog but I CAN tell you that I haven't left! LOL!! ;o)~ I absolutely LOVE the bunny hops!! It was great to see all the DT's blogs and their own style and creations! I fell in LOVE with ALL of Shanna's stuff - talk about TALENT!!! She is AMAZING!! I also really love the Alyssa line. It was the only line that I went out and bought EVERYTHING in that line! LOL!! ;o)~ The teal and pink together is ooohhh-la-la! ;o)~ Thanks for ALL the inspiration! You NEVER let us down! Thank you also for the chance to win goodies after goodies! Gotta love that! LOL! ;o)~
what blew me away was the basket, made I believe, with Beautiful Life. It is a stunning project - but instead of me working on something like that I thought I would put my daughter to work on it. Kindergartners become experts at weaving paper - I dont' think I would have the patience! (LOL)
On May 22, 2009, you showed a really cute teacher gift pencil holder with the phrase, "You have sharpened my mind" - I printed that one out to make. Haven't gotten to it yet; HOWEVER, I have been saving all kinds of containers for altered projects and can't wait until this fall so that I can make one for a teacher! I just love the ideas you come up with. Thanks much!
I think one thing that really stands out for me is Shanna's Father's Day mini-album. I love all the designs and have found so much inspiration here.
Congrats Bo Bunny! I love anything Grease Monkey. And I always find inspiration in your layouts and projects!
Happy Anniversary!!! The first of many more to come. I loved the layouts in Alissa by Tanisha Long, all so beautiful!!!
I just love the layout Sweetness by Guest Designer: Robyn Weatherspoon.
Happy Scrappin' Anniversary! You guys make some amazing stuff! I love the posts about the boys and bugs layout. Your dot papers really rock!!
Shelley P.
I love all the card projects that showcased the Love Shack papers. I can't pick just one project, but I especially liked the cards and the decorated gift bags. This paper line is my absolute favourite - especially the orange & pink patterns!! ;-)
Happy Anniversary!! I love the blog hops - It's great to see new blogs and everyone's creativity!
The Bugs and Hisses Halloween Mini-album. I had to search the blog to make sure it had been on here. I adore all things Halloween and this was the very best of the crop from last year!
I loved "Welcome Home", the Father's Day shirt and tie card, the Love Card on June 1st, and really liked the 3 boys and a girl mini book!!
I loved the layered flower "class" on the blog. I have been doing that since then and have received so many positive comments about it. Thanks! And Happy Anniversary!
Happy Anniversary. I love when you have the blog hops. They are so much fun and I see things I wouldn't normally see otherwise.
I loved everything you guys did with the Abbey Road! That line is just gorgeous! Happy Anniversary! Can't wait to see what else you bring us!
