Designer Showcase - Luzma Bruna

Today's focus is our cute Design Team member

Luzma Bruna...

Luz has been with Bo Bunny for 2 years and we adore her.  She has such a fun style and is always sharing new techniques!  Today she made a layout to show another one of her loves...  

She says: "With this layout I want to share one of my other passions,knitting so here I´m showing some of my newest yarns that are waiting for a new sweater or something else."

 I love how Luz has splattered acrylic paints on her layout above...  I also love that she kept the layout neutral and then added the pops of the pink/red hues!  So warm and cozy and I can't wait to see the sweater she makes with it.  (Luz... if you need a suggestion on what to make, I have the perfect sweater in mind and I'll totally tell you my size. ha ha ha)

What a fun idea to scrap your passions in life.  Wouldn't you all love to be able to read about or look back at the things your mom was passionate about?  I know I would.  It's the simple things like this that seem to be forgotten in all the hub bub we call life.

I love all the extra character Luz puts into the layout too by adding extra pen stitching! It's a technique I forget about until I'm reminded by such a FAB layout!!

Here is the beautiful Luzma!

And here is a picture of her fun scrap space... I would love to be able to visit Chili and spend an afternoon with Luz... 

We are so lucky to have such an amazing designer on our team and get to spend time with her and enjoy her creations!!!  

Thanks for stopping by and make sure to show Luz some love!

You guys are the best!!!

hee hee hee... just to see if anyone is reading all the way to the bottom of the post, here is the sweater I think Luz should make..

A little PINspiration

For all of us 'pin' addicts... 

today's layouts were inspired by this pin..

Two reasons I picked this picture

1) It's just fun

2) I love farkle  (anyone else?)

 These layouts are sooo great!

They are going to pinspire you to make fun things!

You Color My World
Juliana Michaels

 Juliana says, "I was most definitely inspired by the bright bold colors framing the black and white in the center. I choose to use a black and white photograph, stickers, noteworthy and background paper to offset the bright colors and to represent the white in the center of the image. I then cut rectangles from various Bo Bunny Dot papers, rounded the corners and placed them on the background paper to mimic the colored groupings. I then centered my photo and added the title, stickers and buttons."

 Bo Bunny Supplies:

Cardstock: Double Dot in Buttercup, Licorice, Sugar and Grape; Vintage Dot in Orange Citrus; Dot Stripe in Blueberry and Passion Fruit; Dot Journal in Kiwi and Dot Flourish in Wild Berry

Noteworthy: Enchanted

Stickers: Enchanted

Buttons: Various older Bo Bunny Buttons

I love the way this layout shows off the Double Dot papers!  They are such a staple at my house.

Have you guys used DD papers? Yes? No?

Sweet taste of Summer

by: Julie Wolek-Tucker

Julie says: "I was inspired by the colors and all the square elements in the photo -- and I decided to make a lot of different squares using the Hello Sunshine collection, and create a frame around my photo!"

 "Cardstock stickers can make a perfect frame for your photos! You can use them to highlight the part of the photo you really want to concentrate on!"

Bo Bunny Supplies:

Paper: Hello Sunshine, Breezy, Sweet Pea, 6x6 pad

Stickers: Hello Sunshine, Dimensional

Rub ons: Hello Sunshine

Noteworthy: Hello Sunshine

I love how Julie left random spaces in the squares to mimic the dice. 

I will definitely be trying this technique.

A year in the Life
Robbie Herring 

 Robbie says: "I was inspired by the squares and by the dice. To me, the dice look like a whole sea of polka dots! For my layout I incorporated a lot of squares with the pictures and added 3 different polka dot ribbons."  

and then she gave this great tip...

"When using lots of small photos, consider printing them as a contact sheet. I also named my pictures by the month they were taken and added that to the contact sheet."

(That's brilliant and I never would have thought of it)

Bo Bunny Suppies:
Patterned Paper: Little Miss Hannah and Little Miss Gracie
Stickers: Little Miss Combo, Garden of Friends and Sweet Girl
Brads: Little Miss
Petals: Little Miss
Double Dot Paper: TuTu Dot and Chocolate Dot
Double Dot Ribbon: Chocolate and Kiwi

 Top of the World

Tara Orr

Tara said, "I was completely inspired by the bright colours of this PIN as it reminded me of a rainbow. I wanted to do something that incorporated a happy, summery feel to it so I decided to scrap this photo of my daughter and husband in our backyard a few weeks back."

Bo Bunny Supplies:

Patterned Paper: Hello Sunshine, Breezy, Cut Outs/Hello Sunshine
Layered Chipboard: Ambrosia
