Get to know....Gabrielle Pollacco

Hi everyone!  It's me Gabrielle, it's my day today to be in the Bo Bunny design team spotlight!  I've been a design team member for Bo Bunny for a little over a year now and I have to say it's been an awesome experience, the whole design team is made up of some wonderfully talented and very sweet ladies....and designing with such gorgeous products is such a pleasure!    I just got my new design team package a few days ago and had so much fun going through all the gorgeous goodies, my girls and I just spent a morning pulling all the pretty papers and embellies out and just ohhhing and ahhhhing over them!

A little bit about me, ...I've always loved being creative and really am at my happiest at home surrounded by my family and busy with either scrapping, decorating and yep, even cooking and baking!  I more often than not sit on our bed, flick the TV onto the Food Network and scrap away.  I do have a scraproom/office but somehow I always find myself sitting on our bed with all my supplies piled around me when I scrap.

Speaking of my family, here is a little bit about us.  I'm a mom to two sweet girls Chloe & Meagan, who I'm sure many of you have come to know through my scrap pages over the years.  We live in Canada, where opposite to popular beliefs we do have 4 lovely seasons, including some very hot summers (it's not ALL snow, igloo's and sleigh dogs here! lol!)  My girls just love to join me in my scrapping and boy does it turn into a big mess when we are all scrapping together, but we do have fun while we're playing!  Here is a recent photo I took of my girls (I have to admit, they are pretty good about cooperating when getting their pic's taken, they only clown around some of the time :) ...

.....and of course there is my dear husband Steve, my rock and the love of my life, we met when we were just in our teens, got married and never looked back!

And last but not least.....we have our new l'il  Labradoodle puppy Zoe.....a total handful at the moment but getting better everyday...

Here is a layout I made of our new baby with the beautiful new Et Cetera collection, I love love love the soft and pretty color combinations in this collection!

I thought it would also be fun today to share a new layout I made with the gorgeous new  Welcome Home collection and share a video tutorial with you all on how to make your own polymer clay tile embellishments!  Here is the layout ....

The branch of blooms I made myself from one of the patterned papers in the Welcome Home collection and the large creamy bloom is from the ETC. collection (love this bloom!)  You can find a tutorial on how to make these blooms at my blogsite in the tutorials section.  Here are some close-up pic's of the tiles I'm going to show you how to make....
