Mixin' things up!

Today's post is showing how we don't have to just

use one collection of paper when making a layout.

It's fun to mix and match collections and create your own combinations!

Ones Destination 

by Juliana Michaels

 Designer Tips: I used the colors from the photos to help select the colors of patterned papers for my layout. I looked for papers that had the color wanted and I was able to find neutral patterns that were perfect for these photos. I also fussy cut the map and globe images from the Detour Globe Trotting paper and used them to create a lighter colored background paper by layering them on the Camp A Lot Dot paper.

Patterned Paper: Dot/Camp A Lot; Boxes, Stripe/Mistletoe; Baggage Claim, Globe Trotting and Cut Outs/Detour; Poppies/Serenade
Stickers: Home Sweet Hotel Cardstock Sticker/ Detour; Serenade Dimensional Stickers

Designer Tip: Papers from a different collection can make a perfect accent on your lay-out. 

The neutral Ambrosia paper was the perfect paper to balance the warm colours in my lay-out. 

Also don't hesitate to use stamps or embellishments from different collections. 

They often match surprisingly well.

Do you have scraps laying around?

Today we are using up our scraps.

When you get a "used" pile going on your scrap table...

that's the time to challenge yourself to create with your scraps.

The girls have put together some awesome quick and easy projects

with their scraps.

 "I decided to do the strips because I always find I have lots of thinner strips left over from my papers so I thought this would be a good way to use them."

 "The journalling is all about my youngest son who has gone through a few stages of wearing some very strange items when he slept. Various eye wear was one of the most popular things, I never knew what I would find him wearing when I went to check up on him at night!"

 Carin also provided us all with a sketch! Thanks Carin.

It's amazing what you can do with stamps.

I often forget to use my stamps, and then the girls go and do

amazing things with them and I'm all gung-ho to get mine out.

Noteworthy: Country Garden

Stickers: Welcome Home Combo Sticker

Designer Tip: On this layout I wanted the stamped clocks to be the main embellishments on my layout. To make sure they really catch the eye, I stamped them on a piece of a paper, cut them out and then layered them using foamtape. I added a few circles that I cut out from the Country Garden 'Glimpse' paper, a banner and three fussy cut butterflies to finish off my layout. As you can see, you don't need many pre-made embellishments to achieve an embellished look. A few cut out and stamped images will do too.

This is a great tip from Romy!  Just sayin'... I tried to google translate the title, and it must be a dutch saying cuz the literal translation is " 2 hands on 1 belly."  So Romy, will you tell us what it means and where the saying comes from pretty please???

Card Kit Personified

by Debbie Sherman

 I love how easy it is to add to the card kits.

You can make them as simple or as complicated as you want.

I also love that the stamps coordinate so well with the line.

 It's so awesome what a little embossing powder, charm and fiber does to a card.

Designer Tip: To add a little exta to the Serenity card kit I added stamping with the coordinating stamps from the Serenity line. I embossed them with ultra thick gold powder to give the cards more texture and to make the stamping stand out from the rich colors of the paper.

I hope that song is stuck in your heads like it is mine now... ha ha

Happy Stamping and make sure to share with us!

Inspired By

The Bo Bunny designers were asked to create a project inspired by this image found on Pinterest.

Here is how they were inspired:
Juliana notes, "I was inspired by the colors in the pillow and the circles reminded me of flowers. I cut out the branch, bird and flower images from the Squiggles Paper and then layered some of the Dimensional stickers on it for more depth and interest."

Love | Juliana Michaels

Bo Bunny Supplies:

Patterned Paper: Stitches, Burst and Squiggles/Alora

Stickers: Alora Dimensional and Combo Stickers

Buttons: Alora

Chipboard: Alora 12 x 12 and Layered Chipboard

Designer Tip:

For this layout, Juliana cut out the branch and flower image from the Alora Squiggles paper and then added dimension by layering the Alora Dimensional stickers over matching flowers on the branch.  If you want to create more "dimensional" stickers, cut out images from your patterned papers and layer them.  Dress them up with jewels or even glitter glue if desired. 

Grumpy & Happy | Julie Tucker-Wolek

Bo Bunny Supplies:

Patterned Paper: Hello Sunshine, Breezy, Cut Outs, Busy Bee/ Hello Sunshine

Stickers: Hello Sunshine Dimensional Stickers and  Hello Sunshine Combo Stickers 

Trinkets: Hello Sunshine

Noteworthy: Hello Sunshine

Designer tip: When working with alphas that blend into your background, I take a black fine tip marker and outline the alphas to make them stand out more!

Debbie shared that, "When I saw this photo I knew that I wanted to create a layout highlighting the circular elements. I created some small lollies and used them as the background of some of the flowers. To continue with the circular elements I used a die cut doily to keep your eye moving around the layout."

Your Local Landscape

Happy Saturday!  We hope everyone is or does have a wonderful weekend! Today the Bo Bunny designers are sharing layouts created using photos of the local landscape where they live.  Each one is different since they are each from different places all around the world!
Irene shared this about her layout: "The photograph is actually a puddle of water on the road side which coincidently reflects the image of one of the chinese old heritage building in Penang. Penang is a well known old heritage city. This photograph did not just reflects the landscape here but also reflects my ethnicity."
