Flash Back Friday

It's Flash Back Friday! 
We're going back in time at Bo Bunny today! 

You are sure to be inspired by what the design team members have done with Bo Bunny products!  As scrapbookers we are also story tellers.  Scrapping our older photos or even our newer photos with old memories is the perfect way to tell the stories of our past. 

Always in Our Hearts
Sarah Eclavea
I created a layout about my little guy. He passed away last August.

My Beary
Gabrielle Pollacco
I was looking through some pic's and then the idea hit me to use this photo of my youngest daughter. She is 9 years old but still lugs her stuffed animals around with her lol! In this photo she is holding one of her favourites, her Teddy Bear....but the flashback part is that it is actually my Teddy bear from when I was a child. My Grandparents from Germany gave it to me, it used to speak German but the mechanism that lets it speak broke down many years ago.

This is a photo of my grandpa( my dad's dad). We don't have many photos of him and this one is just the way I remember him.  He was always fixing things and when we visited you'd often find him outside working under the hood of a car and with that came this saying. My dad still uses it to this day.
The little boy at the bottom of the photo(he is not very clear) is my dad!

Quick and easy scrapbook pages

Hello and happy Monday! I hope everyone had a great weekend and a wonderful Easter spent with family and friends. Today I have some quick and easy scrapbook pages that can be created in no time. Here's some tips for creating pages fast-

1. Use papers and embellishments from the same line. The colors and patterns coordinate and everything will look great together.
2. Think grids, squares, and straight lines. It takes less time to cut and arrange squares and rectangles than it does circles and other shapes.
3. Embellishments such as stickers and self adhesive chipboard go on to a page fast. Peel. Stick. Done!
4. Instead of using glitter and gloss that takes time to apply and dry use embellishments that come pre-glittered like Bo Bunny dimensional stickers, I candy chipboard and I candy brads.
5. Hand write journaling and doodle instead of typing and stitching to add a quick personal touch.

Here are some quick pages made the oh so talented Bo Bunny DT-
