Field Trip Friday

In case you've forgotten what Field Trip Friday is....
This is when the girls take a field trip from what they normally do/use
and step outside their comfort zone while creating.

I'm pretty sure there is nothing these girls couldn't do.

 Note: I've not alter a frame for a very long time. After looking at the gorgeous colors of the Apple Cider collection, I just can't resist to create an Autumn Frame for the house

I'm Thankful For Your Smile

 Note: For this assignment I used two photos on my layout since I'm usually a one photo kind of girl. I also don't do a lot of journaling, so my promise to myself is to tell the story behind the layout.

 ok ladies are you ready for this?? I really went on a major field trip!! 
It was fun and extremely messy!

Beer
Romy Veul
 On this lay-out I did two things that are rather different from what I usually do. First thing
is that I made a lay-out about our cat (her name is Beertje/ Beer, which means 'Little bear' in English). Although I adore our cats, I don't seem to make lay-outs about them very often. 
For some reason I consider scrapping people a lot easier. Second, I tried to use colours that
 I wouldn't normally choose. I like to work with deep, contrasting colours, but stuck to a 
more neutral colour palette on this lay-out instead.

Bo Bunny supply list:
Patterned Paper: Country Garden, Almanac, Dot, Letters, Weathered, Cut Outs/ Country Garden
Chipboard: Country Garden 12x12 Chipboard
Stickers: Country Garden Combo Sticker
Noteworthy: Country Garden

And....  
Check out this adorable Turkey made by one of our BB fans.
Her name is Pam Bray and we fell in love with this little guy and 
wanted you all to see him!  
 We hope you all are enjoying the awesome fall day and were inspired to
step outside your comfort zone and try something new.
If you haven't already done so... you'll want to make sure to pick
up some of our Apple Cider Collection before it's all gone!!

Green Tangerines - Store showcase

ROAD TRIP..............  Who wants to go with me??

Today's post is all about a EXCELLENT store in CALI

A big hello to all you Bo Bunny fans checking in today! This is Kelly and Paula the mother/daughter duo that started Green Tangerines and we are tickled pink to be featured here today!

 A little about us… or in scrapper lingo “10 things to love about our store”:

  • our store is just over 10,000 sq feet… making us one of the largest in the U.S.A.
  • we opened in 2007 and have enjoyed spending the last 5 years meeting new customers, friends, and the fun faces behind all the vendors! The gals at Bo Bunny are a hoot to spend time with at CHA even using song and dance to get us excited about new releases
  • we are blessed to have a phenomenal store manager backed by an amazing staff of scrappers standing by to help and have an uber talented 16 person design team who use great products like Bo Bunny to inspire you


  • we stock over 100 vendors… and over 25,000 unique items
  • Bo bunny has been in our store since day one, and has been a top ranked vendor by our customers for 5 years straight…therefore, we stock every line Bo Bunny makes… papers, embellishments, and books
  • we stock over 700 colors of cardstock… you can match every Bo Bunny line perfectly


  • we make fabulous page kits and teach classes using beautiful Bo Bunny products
  • we have a giant workshop and classroom area with comfy leather chairs that is open for you to come scrap with all your Bo Bunny products
  • three times a year we hold fabulous 3 day weekend retreats, where you get to come scrap, eat, meet new friends, socialize, and scrap some more!! During this retreats we giveaway lots of loot and love to giveaway Bo Bunny since it’s a customer favorite!



  • our store is located in the wonderful state of California, Rocklin to be exact, smack dab between Lake Tahoe and Napa Valley… which means… you can plan a vacation… get hubby a few glasses of wine… then tell him you are making a pit stop at a scrapbook store along the way… and there is a sportsman warehouse across the street to ditch hubby at so you can spend hours here without any complaints!

Thanks Bo Bunny for putting us in the spotlight today! You guys are an incredible company and 
we love all the creative ideas and fabulous support you bring to this awesome industry! 
It’s always a pleasure working with you!
