All about Journaling! + A Fun Tutorial

I'm so in love with today's layouts and the idea behind them.

Have you ever been at the point where all you're doing is putting the 
who, what, when & where on your layouts?

It's a rut that a lot of us tend to get stuck in.

Many years ago (like15ish) I read an article by Rebecca Sower. (I think that's how you spell it)
In this article she talked about more meaningful journaling.
Here are just a few examples of what you could do:

~ Tell the story behind the photo.
~ Quote the person in the photo.
~Write your hopes & wishes for the person in the photo.
~ Journal through the hard times.


Head over heels
Romy Veul
"The Love Letters collection inspired me to write a little note to my parents on one of my lay-outs. Saying how much I love them is something I would love to do much more. But saying it to them face to face is not something that feels very natural. So I figured making a lay-out and journaling about my love for them would be a nice alternative. My journaling is in the left below corner and says:
'Dear mom and dad,
I don't always show you,
I don't always admit,
That I love you
Incredibly much.
Love, Romy'"

BoBunny supplies:
Patterned paper: Flowers, Journal, Keys, Notes/ Love Letters
6x6 paper pad: Love Letters
Chipboard: Love Letters 12x12 Chipboard
Rub-Ons: Love Letters
Stickers: Love Story Cardstock Sticker

Doilies: 4 in Small Doilies

Family
Gabrielle Pollacco
 Last month a friend of ours invited our family to join in a little photo contest, we were given 6 photo catagories to enter our photos into, one of which was 'Words'. I saw this cute idea of using laces to create a word on Pinterest, so we made our own 'Family' photo using the laces from our running shoes (and the girls even coaxed our puppy to add her paw to the family photo.)

Nest Tutorial
I created a nest embellishment using some burlap, twine/hemp, and some Bo Bunny Adhesive Pearls (Jewels). Here are my steps to make this easy-peasy nest!





 NOTE: I used Tombow liquid adhesive here, you just apply it to the burlap and let it begin to dry and get tacky, when it starts to get clear you can add the next step without getting your fingers covered in a lot of wet glue.
Add BoBunny Adhesive pearls as 'eggs' and your nest is ready to apply to your page as an embellishment.

Patterned Paper - Anthem (Celebration, Nation), C'est La Vie (Panache)
Cardstock - Island Mist Dot (matting and for butterfly)
Jewels - Prairie Chic, Blitzen

Other - Hemp twine, burlap, texture paste & mask

When...
Tara Orr

 To the left of the photo there is actually a pull out tab with journaling/a special message to my daughter for her to read when she gets a little older.

Hopefully this will inspire each of us to make sure we journal on our layouts,
and include the stories we want passed along to our families.
Happy Thursday & Happy Journaling!!

BoBunny visits Emma's Paperie

 First, a HUGE thank you to Bo Bunny for spotlighting our store today!  We LOVE Bo Bunny products and get so excited every time a new release hits the market!

My name is Cindy Smith and I’ve been hanging around the scrapbook industry for over 10 years, working with manufacturers and magazines.  In 2008, I decided to switch to the other side and become an online retailer.  Our website has been going strong for 5 years and we ship to our wonderful customers all over the world!  I would love to open a brick & mortar store in Maryland but with two small kids who are into everything, the online market is perfect.  Maybe someday!

We owe our success to our AMAZING design team and boy can they rock Bo Bunny products!  We’ve grown to 7 designers so our blog updates every day with new inspiration and projects.  Grab a cup of coffee and get lost on our blog checking out each designer’s projects, you will see for yourself just how fantastic they are!  Here are a few of their works of art:

Spring is in the AIR... & Winners!!!

I'm so happy to be posting about Spring today...
It's been pouring rain here all morning 
(and although that is a HUGE part of Spring)
I like to think about the happier, warmer parts of it.

I think it's so interesting... Evgenia is in South Africa and October is her springtime &
Luz is in Chili and September is her springtime...
So I appreciate them doing Spring layouts even though it's not that time of year for them.
