Layout Challenge Friday - Sketch

Friday has arrived and we hope you all have wonderful weekend plans.  If you are looking for some scrapping inspiration, sometimes a sketch can be just the thing to get your creative juices flowing.  We have a great sketch to share with you today created by Juliana Michaels.  Here it is:

Now let's see how the design team was inspired by this sketch.  As you can see, Carin used 4 photos instead of the 3 used in the sketch.  The more photos the merrier! Right?!

Samantha used 3, but she used different sizes of photos and instead of placing circles on her background she used the negative of a piece of paper that she had punched her circles from. The placement of the buttons also adds a wonderful border to the overall design.

Home Decor Bo Bunny Style!

Hello, hello! Spring is in the air and the Bo Bunny designers have a few projects to make it feel like spring where ever you are.

Get those rubons out of their packages and out on display in your living space! I know when I look at the Bo Bunny rubons I think they are too pretty to be hidden in an album and the Bo Bunny designers think so too. So today they are going to show you three home decor projects where the rubons are the star of the project.

Best Buds Altered Tri-Fold Frame

Wow, wow, wow! This frame is A-MAZING! I love how Irene applied the rubons directly to the acrylic to decorate her frame.

Spring Flower Arrangement

Sarah Eclavea

I decided to use the country garden rubons too. These butterflies are hard to resist! I used a mason jar that I bought at Goodwill for a quarter as a vase. For the rubons I applied them to patterned paper and cut them out. I then traced them onto another sheet of patterned paper and cut out that outline. I adhered the two cut-outs with foam tape. I cut three bamboo kitchen skewers to varying sizes and stuck them through the foam tape inbetween the butterflies. A little trinket through the ribbon completes it.

Patterned Paper: 6x6 paper pad/ Country Garden

Trinkets: Country Garden

Ribbon: Double Dot Chiffon

Thanks for coming by today! I hope we have inspired you to get out your rubons!
