The BoBunny Blog

After all the requests for simple layouts and the feedback from our idea to show you how to start with simple and take it a few steps further, we're back with Step it Up! this Friday!

The team has shared lots of the little details that give their pages that special 'something'.

Let's take a look!

Flytta/Moving

When Michele outlined everything on her layout with a white pen corrector, look how it makes the layout brighter:

Picks of the Patch

Robbie Herring

I couldn't resist pulling out my Whoo-ligans for this cute pumpkin patch picture.

Quick, simple and prefectly acceptable.

Now add some strands of embroidery floss as extra borders and around the picture.

Next, stitch with purple thread around the Noteworthy.

Really add some impact with big flowers and buttons.

The last little detail is the dots done with slick paint.

Here are a couple of close-ups:

Patterned Paper: Whoo-ligans Madness, Monsters.

Double Dot Cardstock: Citrus Dot
Double Dot Ribbon: Orange Citrus

Cardstock Stickers: Whoo-ligans Combo and Batty for Candy

Have a great weekend!

Oh wow, thank you so much. Layering is one of those things that I struggle with. This is going to be so helpful.

You've hit the nail right on the head! I love seeing a progression from simple to amazing! Some days, I go for the K.I.S.S.-style. Other days, I want to go all out!
These are perfect examples and I love to see you have a regular Friday feature with this in mind! Thanks for listening to your readers :-)
