Designer Showcase- Carin McDonough

Today during our designer showcase we are featuring Bo Bunny designer Carin McDonough! I love Carin's style and the layout she prepared for us today is no exception! She used the super cute BRAND NEW line "Camp-A-Lot". Can her design be any more perfect for these fun photos- LOVE!

Here's what Carin has to say about her layout and some close ups. I love how she added dimension with all the foam tape!

The Camp-A-Lot range was perfect for these photos of my boys climbing trees in the local country park!


I cut a load of leaves from the Camp-A-Lot Leaves paper and used them to make a tree branch for my page.




I cut a section of the Camp-A-Lot Firewood paper to go along the bottom of my page and then cut a few more of the log ends out, inked them and then popped them up on some foam tape to add some dimension.


For a little detail by my sign I used some of the gorgeous leaf and acorn Camp-A-Lot trinkets.


I used the Camp-A-Lot Combo stickers and another trinket to add the date and a bit of detail.

Inspired By

What do you use to inspire you?  Is it another scrapbook page? Your favorite Bo Bunny papers and products? Your photos? Things you see online in such places as Pinterest? Magazine ads? Inspiration is every where.  Where ever you get your inspiration, I believe there can never be too many things to look at and be inspired by.  Today we asked several of the Bo Bunny designers to use the following image found online to inspire them.  Does it inspire you?  If so how?  We would love to see what you create!

Tara shared this about how the image inspired her layout: "When I saw this image it instantly reminded me of a vintage quilt. All the colours are so vibrant and the flowers, so feminine. I created this layout with these characteristics in mind. To mimic the pattern in the quilt, I added some stitching throughout my layout in a similar design."

Mahlin stated, "I was also inspired by the quilt look, but I chose to switch up the colors and I also wanted to create a more simple layout than I usually do to enhance the stitching a bit more."

Sam said, " I was initially inspired by the reds and all the patterns of the various fabric which is the reason I layered the patterned paper. I chose to use Alora as it contains the red but is not too harsh for this baby photo.  The chevron pattern made me think of the hearts."

Father's Day Album...

I am so excited about this album for May...  I designed it as a Father's Day Album,

BUT!!!... It could totally be a heritage album or a brother, son, grandparents etc...

It's made with the Weekend Market line and was soooo much fun to play with.

Also....  I have a guest with me this month.  Her name is Sara and she is so much fun.

And, last but not least, this album is interactive and the guys in your life are going to love it.
