Noteworthy Summer

Hopefully by now, you have all heard about the new Bo Bunny Noteworthy journaling tags. They are one of the latest, and in my mind greatest, additions to the Bo Bunny family of products! They are perfect for using on your layouts as a place to journal or even as a decorative element on a layout. You can also use them on cards as a place for your sentiment or even as a decorative element. But, have you thought about using them to create a mini album?! Well, that is exactly what I did for today's project! I chose to use the Noteworthy that coordinates with the Sunkissed collection after recently going on vacation to Lake Michigan. Follow along below to learn how you can create your own Noteworthy mini album!

Supplies:
Bo Bunny Noteworthy Fun in the Sun
Bo Bunny Sun Kissed iCandy Dimensionsal
Bo Bunny Sun Kissed Combo Stickers
Bo Bunny 12 x 12 Sun Kissed Chipboard
Bo Bunny iCandy Jewels

Begin by gently spreading apart the metal binding and removing the pages. There are 2 of each design so you will need to separate them and set the second set to the side. Next, take the ones that have the same shape and put them together with the back sides facing each other. Cut a piece of scrap chipboard just slightly smaller than each shape and adhere each same shape design to the front and back of the chipboard. Make sure there is no chipboard present where the holes are because these holes will be used to re-bind the album later. Now decorate each page by adding your photos, journaling and embellishments. I used the transparency page as my album cover and attached the first page of the mini to it by placing adhesive on the backside of the title strips. Once you have completed your album, it is time to re-bind it. This can be tricky, but I am going to share with you how to make this a much easier process. Begin by stacking your pages in the order you want them (I kept mine in the same order as how they appeared in the original Noteworthy with the exception of a couple pages that needed to be flipped over to keep the image right side up). Then take your last page and place it on the top with the back of the album face down on your album cover. Take then entire album and turn it upside down so that the last page is on the bottom and begin threading the metal binding through all of the holes on each page. Then gently squeeze each ring closer together trying to maintain their round shape. Once this is completed, bring the back page into its intended place and you will see how you can easily turn each page.
I hope you enjoyed learning how to create your own mini album using the Noteworthy journaling tags! Please feel free to share your mini albums or how you have used the NOteworthy journagling tags with us by either sharing the link here on our blog or on Facebook! We look forward to seeing your creations!

It's Hot Out There!

Looks like there are a lot of us experiencing some really warm temperatures these days. The perfect weather for our new Sun Kissed line! Here is a little tutorial on how to make your own summertime garland.

Start by cutting out a bunch of different shapes from various double sided papers. I chose to use flowers and suns to go with the theme. I used my slice and cut out 16 different pieces, I chose 8 different sizes/shapes and cut out two of each of those.

I then stacked the two identical pieces together back to back. I wanted the same side of the paper to show on each piece, however you may want to not stack them together and let the two different sides of the paper show.

Now just start sewing them together using your sewing machine. Make sure to leave some space between the pieces, just keep sewing even though you aren't sewing on anything.

I knew I was going to want to cut the strand in half so I made sure to leave and extra long piece of thread in the middle. I then attached each half to the decorated banner piece.

Here are some close ups of the center piece. It was made using the second to last page of the

Edgy Albums.

Super fun and summery!

You can also just make the garlands alone. Here is a photo of one that I made for the 4th of July and now it hangs in my sons' room. Used Block Party for it. I also scored all of the stars before sewing so that they would be easy to bend out and make it 3 dimensional.
