Tags with Trinkets

Hopefully you are all enjoying a fabulous weekend!  Maybe you will even find a little time to scrapbook this weekend!  If you find yourself with a bit of time to play, may we suggest that you consider trying to create a tag?  They make the most perfect little backdrop on which to play.  They are small enough that they don't have to take a lot of time, but still large enough to try out some new and different techniques that you may have been wanting to try lately.  Once you have finished your tag you can use it on a layout, a card, or just hang it in your scrapbook room as an inspiration piece.  Of course, you can certainly use your tag to dress up a gift as well. Today, we asked several of our Bo Bunny designers to create a tag for you and to incorporate the fabulous Bo Bunny Trinkets.  Let's take a look at what they have created and shared with us today!

Layout Challenge Friday

It's time for another Layout Challenge here at Bo Bunny!

This time, we are having an inspiration challenge!  All you have to do is use this image to inspire your layout.  Do the colors inspire you?  How about something that makes you pick your design?  There are so many possibilities in this picture.

The design team has again played along to get you started. 

First up, we have Juliana.

Getting Crafty

Juliana Michaels

Juliana mixed the new Ambrosia Collection with some of the Enchanted Collection.  Adding lots of details such as stamps, fussy cutting and stitching really makes this page shine!

 

 

Bo Bunny Supplies:
Patterned Paper: Primrose, Flowers/Ambrosia; Rose/Enchanted
Stickers: Ambrosia Dimensional Stickers, Ambrosia Combo Stickers
Jewels: Ad Lib
Chipboard: Ambrosia 12 x 12 Chipboard
Stamps: Ambrosia

Designer Tip: Stamp the image multiple times on the background paper, but don't re-ink the stamp. Stamp the image 3-4 times. The ink will gradually fade and add a nice design element to the paper.

Next is Agnieszka.

Happy Day

Have a great weekend!

Flowers, flowers and a flourish or two.

"A thing of beauty is a joy forever"(anon) or so the quote says and flowers have a way of brightening the dullest day! Whether it be that little "weed" firmly grasped in a little child's hand as a simple gift for mom or a bouquet of glorious summer flowers, the result is always the same- a smile!!

I have the great pleasure in sharing with you three beautiful layouts by three very talented Bo Bunny designers. Each one unique and all with handmade flowers. You are sure to be inspired!

Sliders
By Debbie Sherman

The vibrant colours of the new Ambrosia collection really add to the feeling of fun and joy in this layout. There are lots of details you will not want to miss.....

These close ups show the detail of the fabulous flowers. Notice the use of glitter- a bit of sparkle never hurts!
Debbie used the Bo Bunny brads to add dimension and interest to the centre of each flower. Did you see the doily? and if you look closely she has even included a punched border!

Wet 'n Wild
By Gabrielle Pollaco

Since this was a flourish and bloom challenge Gabi thought she would make all her blooms from Bo Bunny patterned papers & cardstock...the die cuts she used were Spellbinders Rose Creations. The flourishes and leaves were also cut from Bo Bunny cardstock.

These flowers look almost real!

Bo Bunny Supplies:
Patterned Paper: Country Garden; Letters, Vines, Almanac, Cut Outs.
Cardstock: Passion Fruit Flourish, Clover Dot
6x6 Paper Pad: Country Garden
12x12 Chipboard: Country Garden
Noteworthy: Country Garden
Jewels: Country Garden
Combo Stickers: Country Garden


SunShine

By Robbie Herring

Robbie also made her own flowers. They are so striking and by placing them on her layout in the way she has, she has ensured that the photo is the main focus. Notice how she repeated the colours. A friend of mine often says " if you use it once, use it twice"- this helps to create balance.

She has also used brads and jewels which all add to the detail of this page and if you look closely some of the swirls are hand sewn.

With all the winter blues why not create your own spring and create a layout using flourishes and flowers! Be sure it share it with us on the Bo Bunny Facebook page!
