Live the Life you IMAGINED 

By Agnieszka Bellaidea

From the very first moment I saw the new collection The Avenues I knew we would spend some time together.

I love to work with this color combo and all papers, chipboards, trinkets, and stickers.  They are just a pleasure to work with. For me, as a collector of Bo Bunny papers, it was also very important that I can mix The Avenues with my other favorite collections like C'est La Vie, but if you still have any Country Garden or Prairie Chic papers you can create with them as well.

I believe you will enjoy The Avenues as much as I do!

Little house on the 'Prairie Chic"

For those of you familiar with the books/show

"Little house on the prairie" I'm sure you would agree

that Laura Ingalls Wilder would probably love this collection!

Check out these layouts that

Amy Voorthuis & Agnieszka Bellaidea

All four of these layouts were made with the

Prairie Chic Collection which you can check out here.

If you have questions for the designers on particular product

or techniques they used, make sure to ask.  

They love to hear from you!

I'm kinda excited because starting Monday....

Our new DT has their new product and we're going

to start showcasing all the fun lines that were released at CHA.

Wait for it............

If you love doilies.... stand up!

Seriously I never get sick of seeing doilies on layouts.

That add so much dimension and character to a project.

Check out what the girls have done today.

Just chillin' in the winter sunshine

by Sam Wright

 Journaling: Here in Durban, the sun is most always shining! If you take a look at the Official Tourism site, you will see that our slogan is...."Durban, The warmest place to be!"

and that really is true, although I feel cold in winter, most days are beautifully sunny and sitting in the winter sunshine is one of my simple pleasures and my loyal little Misty spends hours basking in the sun and moving as it moves, throughout the day

2 or more of the same photo & 12 x 12 chipboard

It's such a fun trend to use the same photo more than

once on a single page that we wanted to try it out.

TIP: I printed one photo 1 inch smaller than the other and layered them directly on top of each other. I used foam to back the smaller one to add extra dimension. Since we were also featuring chipboard, I layered that, too. I put the smaller flourish directly on the top of the larger one. In addition to liking the look, it made the dimension of my embellishing a similar height to my layered photo.

Interactive Cards

What a fun day...

We have cards that are interactive and a super fun idea for kids.

Quick story.... most women love handmade cards, right?

We tend to hang onto them if they are handmade.

That really wasn't my mom's thing... and that's okay.

But my dad... Different story.

I was helping my mom clean up one day and in my dad's dresser drawer...

There was every card/invite etc. I had ever made him.

It made my day, (and many many days since then too) to think

what I made was that important to him. The end.

Hello Friend 

by Lynn Shokoples

 This fun little card swings open in the middle. 

I used the Prairie Chic Noteworthy package to decorate the whole card. 

There are so many fun elements in the package! 

Great for layering or for adding that little something.

 The little envelope was a piece from the Noteworthy package. I added a few other pieces to decorate it. I'm going to surprise someone with a gift card tucked inside.

Card Help

Mireille Divjak

 Interactive cards.. when I was thinking about this I couldn't get this "card Help" out of my mind. When I was younger my grandmother taught me children's card games. I had a lot of trouble holding the cards in my hands so she made me a card Help. 

 Seeing the playing cards on the patterned paper,

 kinda put one and one together. 

It's a very simple idea. 

I used 4 coasters, decorated them on both sides with patterned paper. 

Used Noteworthy for further decoration purposes. To protect the 

"Card Help" in case we want to play at sea in the summer I cut circles from plastic wrapping material. I put two coasters together, put the plastic 

circles on the outside, put buttons in the middle and poked holes. 

Then I stitched everything together. In the space between the two 

coasters you can put your playing cards.

Hope they will have hours of playing fun holding there BoBunny Card Help.

I've been FRAMED!

Today's post is all about framing....

Framing your layout, your photo, part of your photo, etc.

Use framing as a way to direct the viewer’s perspective of your scrapbook page.

To gets their eye and mind involved in your page and taking in its story.

Happiness

Gabrielle Pollacco

 "I thought I'd show a couple of ways of using Bo Bunny products for framing. I used some of the Jewel Flourishes to create a flourishy frame, placing the photo first on some vintage cardstock and then layering the flourishes around the photo. I then trimmed around the flourishes

I also used one of the new background stamps to create a finer frame in the background to draw in the eye and help frame in the title. Here are some close-ups.."

 Royalty
Romy Veul

 "Our cat Beertje loves to behave as if she is a diva. I think this photo shows off her attitude pretty well. Therefore, I thought it would be nice to frame this photo and give it a royal touch. I used a chipboard frame to accent the photo and then added some banners and layered chipboard to make it look more rich."

 "I tried to create the illusion of several papers framing the layout itself. The background die cut shape was to represent an ornate frame and then the inner papers were to represent the matting... I also tried to frame the photo by using several pieces of noteworthy layered upon one another."
