Four Designers, Same Product

What do you get when you give four Bo Bunny designers the same product to work worth?

Four totally different beautiful layouts!

For today's challenge four of the Bo Bunny design team members were given this list of products:

Etc. any papers

Etc. Just Be You cardstock sticker

Sweet Tooth buttons

Garden Girl 12” Chipboard

Welcome Home Combo Sticker

Forever Fall Brads

Father Christmas Jewels

Blitzen, any papers

Even though they were designing with the same set of products, each layout could not be any different! Let's take a look at all the different takes on this assignment!

Step it up!!

Today we are bringing you a new feature that we are calling Step it up!  We have had several requests for simple layouts so we decided to take it a step further and give you simple layouts and then also do a couple of extra steps to show you how you can take your layout to the next level!  

Spread your Wings

By Tara Orr

First up we have the amazing Tara and her gorgeous layout using Gabrielle, this is her 'simple' version

Next Tara has stepped the layout up by adding a few extra layers like the brown background layer and extra lace layer as well as some more of the script paper with torn edges which adds a bit more texture.  She has also added some small doilies and other smaller items like the butterflies.

For the final step Tara has added lots more details, including different sizes of flowers in various places, chipboard, bling, stickers and some more smaller butterflies.  She has also added some more subtle details like distressing the edges of some of the layers which adds a lot of depth to a layout, inking some edges and adding some faux stitching along the edge of the Noteworthy pages.  As Tara had to say... "The more the merrier!"

Bo Bunny Supplies used:

Patterned Paper: Elegance, Romance, Cameo, Unwritten and Fairest/Gabrielle

Noteworthy: Gabrielle

Layered Chipboard Stickers: Gabrielle

Combo Stickers: Gabrielle

Gambit

By Carin McDonough

Next up is me, using the summery Barefoot & Bliss and this is my simple version.

My second version has been spiced up a little by distressing the edges of the outer papers, inking some edges, adding a couple of extra layers under the main photo, adding some ribbon which always adds texture and painting my title.  It may not show up that clearly in the photo but I painted the title blue to match the papers, added a layer of crackle paint and then added a layer of white paint to achieve the cracked wood effect, a perfect effect for beachy type layouts!

For my final version I took another sheet of the background paper and cut the flowers out and then layered them on top of the background sheet with foam dots to give some dimension as well as adding a few extra flowers.  I did the same thing with the dot strip under the two smaller photos and added a photo corner and some buttons under the main photo.  Lastly I highlighted the sun by adding a ring of stitching and a ring of bling!

Bo Bunny Supply List:
Patterned Paper: Beach Bag, Bubbles, Dot and Cut Out/Barefoot & Bliss
Cardstock: Double Dot in Slate Dot
Noteworthy: Barefoot & Bliss
Jewels: Barefoot & Bliss
Alphabet: Chunky Chips Chipboard Alpha in Chiffon
Buttons: Ad Lib; Bo Bunny
6" Paper Pad: Barefoot & Bliss
Ribbon: 3/8" Double Dot Ribbon in Buttercup

Natural Beauty

By Frances Sylvia

Finally today we have Frances who has also used Gabrielle (definitely a favourite amongst the design team!) and has done this layout with its beautiful clean lines in two steps.  Here is the simple version.

 And this is Frances' stepped up version where she has added chipboard photo corners to accentuate her main photo as well as other chipboard pieces and various chipboard and paper butterflies.  Don't you just love her large layered butterfly!  Did you notice how the butterflies form a visual triangle to draw your eyes around the page?

Bo Bunny Supply List:
Patterned Paper: Stripe, Unwritten, Cutouts, Fairest/Gabrielle
Stickers: Gabrielle True Friend Cardstock Stickers and Gabrielle Dimensional Stickers
Chipboard: Gabrielle 12 X 12 and Layered Chipboard 

 

 

Whether you like the clean and simple look or like to bling it up or something somewhere in between I hope there is something to suit everyone's tastes in our post today!

Layout Challenge - Sketch

Welcome to another Bo Bunny Layout Challenge Friday!
Every other Friday, here on the Bo Bunny blog, we provide you with a challenge that we hope gives you a little inspiration for your next scrapbooking project.
This week we are challenging you with a wonderful sketch created by our very own Irene Tan.

Each of the designers that played with it today took the sketch and created a layout with their own unique style!  

Now let's see what some of the Bo Bunny designers created.

Happy 4th of July!

So how will you be celebrating the 4th of July?  Many Americans will be celebrating this national holiday with fireworks, parades, barbecues, picnics and family reunions.  To help you celebrate just a bit more, the Bo Bunny design team has created some fabulous patriotic cards using the new Liberty collection.


First up we have four cards for the 4th created by Juliana Michaels.  She shared with us that she just couldn't stop creating when she started with the first card and therefore, ended up with 4 of them!

Next we have a card from Debbie Sherman that helps remind us of how important family can be, especially when getting together for a family reunion.  Wouldn't this make a great invitation? Take a peak at that adorable pin wheel she created and then topped off with a Liberty Trinket!
