Everyday Life Layouts

While scrapping, crafting, and preserving the memories of the big moments are an absolute must, have you taken time recently to just scrap something that happens in your everyday life?

This week our theme is everyday life. Share your favorite everyday life creations with us on the BoBunny Facebook page!


Scraps Of Everyday Life by Tracee Provis

As scrappers we record our lives through our pages. When I was asked to create with the theme everyday life I wanted to make something that represented the little snippets that make up my life. I always have the camera close to hand ready to capture those memories so this picture was a perfect fit for my layout.

I wanted to add some smaller pictures of the things my camera is always focused on so I printed them off and fitted them into the Kraft Wood film strip frame. I used one of the stamps from the Distressed Textures stamp set to create some pattern to my Sugar Dot background paper and I also stamped over some of the patterned paper too.

The page itself was made from mostly scraps of Bo Bunny collections. I have a special box for them that sits on my desk, I love some of the irregular shapes that these scraps create and by adding some fussy cut elements and stickers it brings the whole layout together.

En bil till (One more car) by Ulrika Wandler

My everyday life consists of driving my car to the train station in the morning going to work, and then of course home again in the evening.

When the weather is good I take my bicycle, but all winter long I drive my car! 

The perfect papers and embellishments for my photo come from Our 'Lil Monster. I love the bright red color in that collection! Almost as much as I love my red car! ;-)

The bar code is from a BoBunny package and I thought it could represent the cost for buying a car... ;-)

But the car was of course more expensive than any BoBunny product...

Fur Ever Friends by Amy Voorthuis

I have to admit when I was asked to create a layout about my everyday life a lot of things popped up in my mind. But one thing the most & that's walking with our pup every night! Everyday around eight all four of us walk a hugh route in the park. Fibi enjoy's it so much because she can walk free.

This picture was taken when Kevin & Fibi where at the waterside just before she accidentally fell in :-))) and brrrr it was so cold!

The BoBunny blossoms are my favorite flowers to work with. The one with the paw print on it is partial handmade and partial BoBunny. The top layer I created myself with fabric which is my new addiction. The rest of the flowers are all BoBunny.

August Mood Board Cards

Hey card making friends! Today is the day you have been waiting for, the August mood board inspiration in card form.

If you are feeling inspired by the August mood board, be sure to post your creations on the BoBunny Facebook page! #BBAugustMoodBoard

Love card by Maria Potapovich (mellpellmell)

This card about love. What is love? What is it? She quickly flies into our lives, just like a dragonfly - you do not have time to look back, and she's right in your heart! But it also is constant ... and it lasts as long as our clock is ticking - the heart ... This card about the fact that love is in our hearts always and every second!

BoBunny Supplies:

Patterned Paper:  Keepsake/Somewhere In Time, Endless Love/Head Over Heels, Periodical/Enchanted Garden 

Hello card by Maria Potapovich (mellpellmell)
 

This card is very simple. I used stamps cut paper circles and vellum to reduce the level of "roughness" here to create the background. This card is made just to say hello.

Ah, yes! Here again, a lot of different colors of pens - I like these light hints of color!

BoBunny Supplies:

Patterned Paper: Dramatic/Modern Miss, Dot/Primrose, Vintage Dot/Shadow 

Doilies: 6.5in Medium

Jewels: Happy Tails





Fairy Card by Evgenia Petzer

It's no secret that I prefer dimensional cards, one easy way to get this effect is to stick the papers (layers) only in their middle and to leave the sides loose, you can see below the detailed shot and the doily has this effect and it brings extra air to my project.

Patterned Paper: Pixies, Enchanted Garden, Spellbound/Enchanted Garden

You Are Beautiful Card by Evgenia Petzer

What I absolutely love about the majority of BoBunny lines is that they have lots of papers for fussy cutting, it really provides you with so many options, you can create your own fairy tales with this line.

August Mood Board - Canvas and Layout

Welcome back to another creative day on the BoBunny blog! The August Mood board is our inspiration this week, enjoy crafty friends!

Whimsical Canvas by Gabrielle Pollacco

Hello, it's Gabrielle here with you today to share with you a canvas I made using the August Mood Board as inspiration.  This was such a fun Mood board, the colors in it are some of my all time favorite combinations.  I decided to create a little vignette using the reverse side of an art canvas.

I began by began by tearing bits and pieces off of my Bo Bunny Washi tapes (I used tape from the Black & White, and Kraft collections).  After that I added a little texture with home-made texture paste and a stencil.  I cut a piece of background paper from the Enchanted Garden paper. I continued by dry brushing a bit of Gesso in a thin coat over the texture and taped area.

I then chose some flourished and scroll chipboard from Et Cetera collection to decorate my frame with.  I added some trinkets and buttons from other Bo Bunny collections and glued them to the frame work.  I gave the added items a coat of  Gesso and when it dried, I misted and painted the frame with the blues and purples in the paper collection.

I created a little nest with some Spanish Moss (found in the floral dept of your local craft store) and made little eggs with air dry clay, and tucked it into the corner of the frame.

I did a little fussy cutting from the Enchanted Garden patterned papers (flowers, mushrooms etc.) to add a few more whimsical embellishments to the framework.  I gave the whole frame a final gilded finish by dry brushing some gold metallic paint to bring up details.

Bo Bunny products used on this project:
Patterned Paper:  Enchanted Garden / Mosaic, Enchanted Garden, Periodical, Fairies, Pixies.
Chipboard:  Et Cetera

Nature's Beauty by Rhonda Van Ginkel

Greetings, it's Rhonda here to share with you my take on the Mood Board. I loved the dreamy and soft feel of the colors and the element of time all together. It inspired me to use these sunset photos from the campground of our recent vacation.  

This was the perfect opportunity to work with our all new Glitter Paste and Stickable Stencils. I have to share with you that the results are more vibrant and so stunning, it is beyond amazing! It reminds me of bedtime fairy dust really. ha! I've done quite a bit of fussy cutting and added some cuts using dies and my cutting machine.

I used the Pearlescents in Chocolate to accent the rivets on the door. They were also used along with a Stickable Stencil on my Doily in Island Mist and a touch of Brilliant Blue. These dried very fast. Once dry completely, I spritzed the Doily with water, then used Glimmer Spray in Frost and Gold.

I really love that with Mixed Media you can make your project extremely artistic or simply add hints of it all to your taste and what the project calls for. BoBunny's new products make the process fun and easy.

August Mood Board - 12 x 12 Misc Me

Don't you just love how we are all inspired in so many different ways? Different elements and colors speak to everyone differently. So today, we bring you another fabulous 12 x 12 Misc Me inspired from the BoBunny August mood board.

How Does My Garden Grow by Lynn Shokoples

Good Morning Everyone! When I saw the Mood Board photo what caught my eye was the purple flowers, the colored doilies along with the soft colors. I immediately thought of the Enchanted Garden collection. I love to snap photos of my flowers in bloom out in my back yard, so I decided to use some of my favorites. All of the cards came from the Pixies and Mosaic patterned papers. It's so much fun to choose which cards to use, there are so many to choose from!

I altered the small doilies using chalk ink in soft colors to match the collection. The small ones are just perfect for Misc. Me!! Then I used my punches to create some flowers and vines. I like to keep my Misc. Me pages without a ton of bulk so I can fit more pages in my binder. The elements still give some depth and dimension without added bulk.

I always pick out my cards, then my photos. The last step is stamping for me. I used the new Stitches Stamp  around each of the cards to give them a more shabby feel. When I spied the little doilie stamps that were in the set, I went a little crazy with purple ink and doilies on every card, lol. I really like to keep some consistency to my cards, so they all get the same stamp, washi tape or some other element. Little bits of the Primrose washi tape finished up all the cards.


How are you doing your Misc. Me pockets?? We would love to see them, so please share them on our facebook page!!

BoBunny August Mood Board Inspiration - Mini Album Video Tutorial

We continue our BoBunny August Mood Board Inspiration week with a tutorial by Designer Lisa Novogrodski. She made a mini album using a unique combination of BoBunny collections and is sharing a video tutorial on how she created it.

This was probably one of the most fun projects I have ever created! The mood board this month was so inspiring my imagination simply took off! I pulled the color theme of my project from the board- focusing on the purple, blue and white. The "You Are My Sunshine" pillow inspired me to incorporate Zip A Dee Doodle along with Enchanted Garden. I wanted a "Happy" "Fun" project theme and photos to pull it all together. I show you how to put this little mini album together below in my video tutorial.

I've created this Accordion Fold album with lots of little pockets for you to tuck in tags, tickets, photos and journaling. I've used the tags for my "Photo Mats" and also for journaling spots. You just have to love little pockets. This type of project can be used not only for "scrapbooking" but you could create one and do art journaling on your tags and have an artsy little file to store them in.

I was also inspired by the doilies in the mood board and I incorporated some in most of my tags. I chose a Spellbinder Die to mimic a "frame" shape picking up on that beautiful blue frame in the mood board. The clock and globe prompted me to use Kraft style tags as my base. I like the "earthy" appeal mixed with the feminine blues and purples.

I hope you enjoy the video and can't wait to see what you all make with this mood board as your jumping off point!

This week we are featuring our August Mood Board. It was created to inspire and delight our BoBunny fans as well as our designers.  Today, designer Solange Marques shares a 12x12 Misc Me spread that she was inspired to create using the Mood Board.

You Make Me Happy 12x12 Misc Me by Solange Marques

It's time to share with you more two pages of my Misc Me. I am using my Misc Me to keep memories of moments with my grandchildren and I love to use a lot of photos of them. They really make my days better.

I love this mood board, it is very inspirational. I've inspired on the colors and some elements such as doilies, clock, flowers, frame and phases on the pillow! I used Enchanted Garden collection.

I stamped some works from the pillow on this journal card using Kraft Wood Alphabet Stamp.

When I saw the frame on the Mood Board I wanted to make one to use on these pages. I used a resin frame and applied Copper paint and Turquoise spray ink. I altered the butterfly using watercolor.
