Focus on Chipboard

Hi Bo Bunny Fans!  For today's post we are focusing on chipboard!  Chipboard is a really popular and useful item in scrapbooking and cardmaking whether it is naked or decorated.  Bo Bunny has various types of chipboard there are the plain coloured coordinating alphabets and shapes and each range has its own 12x12 decorated chipboard sheet and a layered chipboard pack which includes lots of detail such as glitter and jewels. 

Let's see what the design team have created for us using chipboard!  First up we have Juliana who has used the very sophisticated Serenity for this beautiful photo of her and her sister.

6 x 6 Paper Pad: Serenity
Chipboard: Serenity 12 x 12

Next up we have our wonderful guest designer Julie and she has used the Camp-a-lot range to scrapbook a photo from their new home!

New Home - Let the Adventure Begin

 Bo Bunny Products used:
Patterned Paper: Dot, Cut Outs,Falling Stars/Camp-a-Lot
Chipboard : Camp-a-Lot

Designers tip:

To make my "Welcome Campers" chipboard sign fit right on my page - I cut part of the chipboard and added to the bottom of my photo so that it looks like the sign goes all the way behind my photo!


Next we have Debbie who has also used Camp-a-lot for her adorable layout.  Don't you love how Debbie has added leaves to the branch patterns already on the page giving her page lots of dimension and detail.

This is an acrylic "CHINA" album which I've created using the gorgeous "Ambrosia" line. This is such a versatile line. You can create different styles of project with it. In this project, I tried to create a rich oriental look using it.
