All that SPARKLES..

At Bo Bunny we love things that glitter, shine and SPARKLE!

Today's only rule is to sparkle!

Dear Santa
Juliana Michaels

 To add some sparkle to my layout I used glittered paper and then cut it into strips and punched small strips to create borders and to help ground the title. I also added a little more sparkle with the use of Bo Bunny Jewels on the snowflakes and stars.

 I added an extra bit of sparkle by adding strips of BB jewels in a golden yellow color as well.

 Note: I've added some glitter glue such as "Stickles" on the flowers and some small rhinestones on the hearts to add some sparkle to the layout. To add some sparkle around the photograph, I've used Art Anthology's sorbet to paint a circle around my subject in the photograph.

Welcome to Africa!! Store highlight

 In 2008 BoBunny accepted its first invitation from Scrapbooking@aquila

scrapbookers from across South Africa as well as neighboring countries joined us.

BoBunny has many dear friends in South Africa and we thank 

Scrapbooking@ Aquila for being fantastic hosts.  Take a moment to view

the pictures of the store, a few projects and some of their talented scrapbookers.

"We personalize all your wedding stationery needs.

Monochromatic Layouts

If  you look up the definition of "monochrome" in The Concise Oxford English Dictionary it reads:

"-n. a photograph or picture done in one colour or different tones of this, or in black and white only." 

Our designers today have each created a single page layout which reflects this definition clearly.

Firstly, Tara has used a pink palette for her layout.
