Hi friends,

For the next few blog posts, we want you to meet our new Design Team and one of their projects they used for their audition

and get to know them a little better...  so join us with your favorite beverage

and meet your new friends.  Don't you love that scrapping brings us together as women from all over?  It's one of my favorite things.

My name is Agnieszka but in the scrapbooking world I go by Bellaidea. Together with my husband - I'm still dating him - we're taking care of our two treasures - a Girl and a Boy.

I love traveling, taking photos, African bush aroma, Pavlova dessert, old books, doilies, trips with friends to Italy, evenings by the fireplace, reading books to my children (even though they can read by themselves). I enjoy audiobooks during long distance drives, praising people for their talent and creativity.

I scrapbook for many reasons! These are to preserve memories, to make my kids remember I always care about them, to have MY time when I need it, to keep in touch with all my scrap-friends all over the world. My style is eclectic, romantic, with a touch of whimsy. My projects are influenced by mixed media. You will find the following on many of my projects: lace, chipboard, doilies, turned corners, fussy cutting, etc... I never forget the most important element of the page which is the photo and a story. Sometimes I hide my journaling when it`s very personal.

Over the last couple of years I have had the pleasure to design for many blog challenges and companies from USA, Austaralia, Scandinavia, Poland, Canada.

I am very proud to design with some "old" and new friends for BO BUNNY now.

I cordially invite you to my blog, Bellaideascrapology where you can find out what I do late at night when the rest of my family is sleeping!

Well hello there my name is Amy Voorthuis I’m 35 of age. I live in The Netherlands with the love of my life Jeroen and our handsome son Kevin (8).

I love to be creative in every way I can, seeing my job as an optician I need to be kind of creative anyways…..fixing all those glasses

I’ve been scrapbooking for over 9 years now and I love it. I got introduced with scrapbooking by my aunt Ellen who lives in the sunny state Florida…..

I think she did an awesome job because I’m hooked for life. BoBunny is one of the first companies I bought papers from (I used to only scrap on white papers) and I feel very blessed they have chosen me to be on their 2013-2014 Design Team. I can't wait to get creative and I hope you all enjoy my work

I am a 32 year old scrapper from Toowoomba, Queensland, Australia. I am married to a very understanding husband who pushes me all the time to persue what I love. I have been scrapping now for 10 years and my 2 children are my main muses'. I am passionate about scrpbooking and love capturing and recording the everyday and special events. 

I am a happy, loving and devoted mother, a giving wife and very happy scrapper and paper hoarder! Pretty papers are my nemesis!!

I live in sunny Johannesburg, South Africa and paper creating is my absolute passion!

My name is Evgenia Petzer, i am 28 years old, Russian girl who now lives in South Africa and loves it! I love to make cards, layouts and sometimes altered items. My style is more feminine, always detailed and layered. I also love photography and try to capture lots of moments of our everyday life. We have a son (who is almost 5), another baby on its way and a cute yorkie and a ginger cat.

And some random facts about me: i drink about 20 cups of green tea every day, i have a constant huge mess in my scraproom, i am addicted to sunshine, my favourite bo bunny collection of all time is Country Garden and i am in love with shabby chic style.

I know you all are feeling my pain when I tell you 

it was so hard to choose winners, right?

Everyone's work is FABULOUS!  

I'm so excited for them to get the newest lines and

start creating. We all are going to be blown away!

Hope you all have a EXCELLENT day!

What are Artist Trading Cards?

Although ATC's have been around for quite awhile,

some of us are just being introduced to them. 

Other's have been making and trading them for years.

What are ATC's?

Artist Trading Cards 

Think of it as your own personal, unique fun business card.

There are only a couple rules to making an ATC.

1. It must have a 2 1/2" X 3 1/2" base

2. It must be a one of a kind creation

That's it.

How easy is that? I don't really like to be

restricted by rules, but these two... piece of cake!

I LOVE the cards the girls have made.

I think it's so much fun how their personal style shows in their cards.

A little more info on ATC's....  these are really fun to make and keep,

but even more fun if you get in a group of friends and make and exchange them.

I have all of mine on a Rolodex and I can not even tell you how much fun 

they are to look and and go through.  Also, it's a great conversation piece.

Everyone that walks in my house asks about it.

When swapping ATC's, be sure to put your name and info on the back of the card.

If you get a chance to play and make your own ATC's....

be sure to share your masterpieces with us!

Have a SUPER weekend!

"I feel very blessed to be able to showcase some of my work here on the Bo Bunny blog. I still pinch myself every once in a while as I feel really lucky to be able to work and design with all the fabulous products manufactured by Bo Bunny. 

Bo Bunny products have always been my favorite usually the first to go in the shopping basket!) There is a warmth and a vibrancy about the designs which appeals to me. Not only that, but the people I have met, work with, design with are all a fabulous bunch of people and it is truly a privilege to be a part of the Bo Bunny "family"

It's EASY to ALTER

Today we've got some fun an easy altered items for you

to try.  With home decor being so popular in the paper world...

we wanted to share a little inspiration with you all.

Bless Your Heart & Home Wall Hanging 

by Juliana Michaels

Designer tip: I think it is fun to think outside the box when creating altered projects. 

For this wall hanging I used 3 pages from the Apple Cider Mini Album as the base.

 I adhered them together overlapping the middle pumpkin onto the other 2 pumpkins. 

I then embellished it with a variety of stickers, Noteworthy pieces and fussy cut images. 

The little girl, little boy and 4 of the pumpkins are fussy cut from various papers. 

I further embellished them with glitter glue and jewels.

I don't know about you guys, but I can't get enough of Apple Cider!

Jewelry box

Smile

by Romy Veul 

 Designer Note: To decorate the top of my treasure box I used mainly fussy cut and 

sticker flowers that I layered using foam tape. I adhered a trinket and a bee on top 

of them and that's it. You don't need a lot to embellish your altered items.

Thankful Altered Wooden Pumpkins

by Debbie Sherman

 Designer Tip: After painting the 2 wooden pumpkins I adhered patterned paper to them using Modge Podge. I then went over them with another coat of modge podge. After they were dry I overlaped the smaller pumpkin to the larger pumpkin and adhered with a glue gun. I then layer my embellishments by using Foam Squares to pop them up, this allowed me to add more embellishments behind my layers giving my project extra dimension.

Bo Bunny Supplies:

Patterned Paper: Apple Cider Collection:Apple Cider Hickory, Pumpkin Patch, Bounty, Orchard, Afternoon, Dot, Cut Outs

Brads: Apple Cider

Jewels: Apple Cider

Chipboard: Liberty 12 x 12; Apple CiderChipboard

Big Boy Jax

Lynn Shokoples

Journaling: In April 2012 I got a call about adopting another puppy. Well, when I saw that little face, I couldn't resist. So baby jax came home weighing 15 pounds. Now jump ahead to August and baby Jax has grown quite a bit. At 6 months old he is well over 60 pounds with another 6 months of growing to do. He is the sweetest, most gentle dog I have ever had. He is always ready to cuddle. I love my big boy!

So Dog Gone Cute

Gabrielle Pollacco 

So here is mine! We picked up our sweet Zoe just a little over a year ago....we were told by the breeder that there was only one puppy left in this litter, when we walked into the place, my eyes were immediately drawn to this scruffy little pup sporting this cute little faux-hock! I thought to myself, too-bad we don't get first pick of this litter because this one would be my pick...then unbelievably the breeder said this little pup would be ours if we want her!.....my next thought was, okay, how badly behaved is she, that no one picked this little cutie-pie first! Well, let's just say this first year we learned why! lol! Countless socks, shoe's, hats, mits and yes! even underwear destroyed by this pup! She definitely has a personality all her own, full of mischief but just so much fun as well...we just love her and wouldn't trade her in for anything!

 I'm just loving the color combination of butter yellow and grey lately so I chose to use the yellows in the Serenade collection and mix it with some soft grey double dot paper. Added in some of the new yellow blooms and lace as well.

Supplies:

Patterned Paper: Serenade (Sunrise, Trellis, Garden, Promenade)

Cardstock: Double Dot (Shadow)

Flowers: Buttercup Zinnia, Buttercup Dahlia, Buttercup Bouquet

Stickers: Serenade Combo Stickers, Apple Cider Combo Stickers

Lace: Buttercup lace
