12x12 Misc Me & Genevieve!

Mi/XING/sc styles by Agnieszka Bellaidea

 I have a pleasure to show you my new project today.

As you know today we are showing off Misc Me products and I started a new 12 x 12 album.

I love to decorate covers and lovely Genevieve collection was perfect for my project.

I used new stencils for my album front and know already this feather will be a popular item to reach for when creating new projects.

A couple lovely birds were fussy cut from 12x12 papers.

I know you would not call my page a typical Misc Me page. The idea for it came to me some time ago when teaching different classes in the same shop and several students joined different classes - pocket pages, scrapbooking, Mixed Media. Some of them wanted to "continue" working on the same project during different classes. So my idea was to make typical 12 x 12 pages, double pages and typical Misc Me pocket pages when we used only all ready elements.

We kept cutting similar shapes and spent little time on "decorations". This way every "chapter" in their album had one or two pages in style I made my project for today and then the rest was typical pocket pages. Just something different to do.

When teaching last time in South Africa I noticed double pages are still very popular there. I rarely create double pages but this time my two single ones look good together :).

My students also complain about journaling when making "fast Misc Me" pages.  I encourage them to try, those little Bo Bunny journaling cards are perfect to start with and when you really, really don't know how to start look for a poem like I did this time . This one by Polish author Tadeusz Wywrocki "How not to love Autumn"

Thank you so much for looking and I hope you will have lots of fun with new products Misc Me by BoBunny!

Mixed Media & Wood Shapes....WOW!

Hello All!  For this month's project, I am featuring the BoBunny Elegant Wood Shapes.  These gorgeous shapes are indeed elegant, featuring flowers, flourishes, and frames.  They are a perfect match for the Garden Journal collection.

To start, here is a look at how I decorated my 12x12 Misc Me Kraft binder:

At First Sight by Keri Babbitt

For my smaller binders and mini-albums, I like to add lots of dimensional layers, but since I store my 12x12 albums in a row on a shelf, I like the cover embellishments to be flat layers.  Here, I created a custom background with stamps, glimmer spray, pearlescents, and ink.  The rub-ons and stencils add interest and beauty, but without the bulk.

The spine of the album, however, was a great place to add a wood label frame, that will show up prettily, while the album is shelved:

This effect is a combination of Island Mist Pearlescents, over sprayed with Silver glimmer spray and then blotted.

And now, here's a look at my 2-page spread:

I used the Garden Journal Misc Me contents pack, and then embellished with chipboard, die cuts, and of course more wood shapes.

The Elegant wood shapes were given a Shabby Chic makeover, with some Island Mist Pearlescents, Silver Glimmer Spray, and Blush Glitter Paste.  The Elegant frames are the perfect little spot to showcase another small embellishment inside.

A Gorgeous Glittered Misc Me!

Hi, I am here again with my Misc Me 12 x 12. Last month was my birthday and I used the photos of this day to do my Misc Me, after all, 50 years is a special date! I used Rose Cafe collection and a lot of Glitter Paste on these pages:

Misc Me Monday!

Hello there BoBunny Fans and welcome to Misc Me Monday!

Bernii here with you to share with you my bright and fun Misc Me layout that I created with the new release Double Dot - Chevron Paper range. 

Queen's Park by Bernii Miller

There are a variety of hues in this collection and I decided to pull out the brighter papers to showcase my fun day at the park with my children. To highlight each of the papers that I pulled, I also used the Double Dot Jewels in matching colors.

 I kept the Misc Me spread fairly simple this time around as the Double Dot papers were so bright and vibrant in colour. I also created little " Flowers" on my layout, by using my circle punch, folding the circle into fours, and then snipping out little petals. I love adding these to so many of my projects for extra pops of colours.

Thanks so much for stopping by today and I do hope that perhaps you try and find different ways to use your Double Dot Chevron papers.

It's All About the Details!

Pinterest is a treasure-trove of visual eye candy, so this month, my Misc Me layout is a pinterest-inspired creation.

Solstice by Keri Babbitt

I was inspired by the cascading silver circles in this Pinterest image:

I decided to get this ethereal look with a fun new technique - using BoBunny art mediums on the outside of my page protectors!  Below is a tutorial to achieve this fun look on your own project.

This particular 2-page spread is a bit unique.  Rather than left and right facing pages, the layout uses both sides of the page protector, for a see-through pocket effect.  To get this type of page started, first I chose photos for both sides of the page protector, and then adhered them to each other and put them in their correct pockets.  Then, I started on the mixed media technique.

I cut an 11.5" circle out of cardstock, and used it to mask off each corner of the page protector, one at a time.

I used Sugar Pearlescents to fill in the stencil, then flattened out the paste evenly and scraped off the excess.

The result is a creamy look that is bold and fun against the dark photos.

After repeating this process for all eight corners (Do four corners, let dry, then flip over and repeat process for four remaining corners), I added more stenciling onto the middle pockets of the page protector.

To get a multi-tonal effect, I placed the two pearlescent colors in different spots on the stencil, and then spread glitter paste over the whole thing.

The less you work the colors with the spreader, the more color variation the final look will have.

Gorgeous!  Note: the glitter paste will dry clear, giving a more icy, sparkly look.  If you want this opaque white look to stay, you can get this effect by swapping the glitter paste for modeling paste, or sugar pearlescents.

After everything was dry, I added my finishing touches.  If you are adding glitter, sequins, or confetti to your pockets, make sure to seal them shut with a sewing machine or double-sided tape.  Here is the final result:

I love the peek-a-boo feature of this page, and the circle of dots around each photo edge creates a fun shaping to the layout.  See-through elements are great for winter/snow/ice themes, like this page about us spreading bird seed around our yard on Winter Solstice.
