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!



Supplies used for this project:
Patterned Paper: Et Cetera; Geography, Odds & Ends
6x6 paper pad (Et Cetera)
Noteworthy (Et Cetera)
Trinkets & Wraps: Et Cetera
Et Cetera Chipboard & Layered Chipboard

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....

Supplies used for this project:
Patterned Paper: Welcome Home: Porch Swing, Family, Dreams
6x6 Paper Pad: Welcome Home
CS Sticker Home Grown
Welcome Home Jewels
Welcome Home Combo Stickers
Bloom: et cetera Petals
Stamps: Gabrielle, Midnight Frost
Other: Polymer clay, paint

Here is my little video tutorial on how to make these fun little embellishments...
And finally I thought I would share with you all just a few of the layouts I've made over this past year or so using so many of my favourite Bo Bunny collections...










....And now for some fun stuff!!  Leave a comment here at the Bo Bunny blogsite today and you will be eligible for a wonderful Bo Bunny prize!  At the end of the month Bo Bunny will choose one of the commenters for a lovely prize pack!  BUT.....I've got a little surprise for you too!  Come to my blog 'Such A Pretty Mess' and leave a comment for me there too and I will choose a winner for some Yummy blog candy as well!!

Thanks for taking the time to get to know me better!  ~ Gabrielle xx

Get to know....Irene Tan

Hello everyone! It's time for me to be in the spotlight today! I'm Irene Tan or better known as "Scrapperlicious" in the online world.


Let's talk a little about me first. I'm from the beautiful island, Penang, which is situated in West Malaysia. It is an island that embraces modernity while retaining its traditions and old world charm.
Who am I before I indulge into this industry and when did I start scrapping? I used to be an accountant. Yes, I'm a Chartered Accountant working with a big international auditing firm. I won't go into details as to why I've totally changed my career directions. You all can keep guessing on this....

I officially started scrapbooking and my blog in 2007 and everything after that results in who I am today. My family is a huge part of my scrapping journey. They are very supportive of my passion. My husband is my buddy in all my teaching trips and my kids are my favourite subjects.

It's fun and inspiring to scrap the everyday lives of my three kids.
Ryan and Chloe is main reason I started scrapbooking.

And "Hiro" is our charming Siberian Husky.

Want to see my scrap space?
I do not own a scrap room. My scrap space is basically half of our office room which I share with the rest of the family.

Do I teach? Yes! Upon invitation, I do travel to teach a few times a year. In fact, I'll be teaching in Surabaya, Indonesia and Osaka and Tokyo, Japan this October and November 2011. And for you all in the Europe, keep an eye for my updates on my blog..wink..wink.. Most of my workshops will have some Bo Bunny gorgeousness in it. Check this link to find out on my teaching criteria.
