BoBunny Christmas Party!

It's Christmas at BoBunny!

Yesterday was our office Christmas party complete with decorations, a gift exchange, food, and some ugly Christmas sweater fun.  What's your office Christmas party like? 

Here are some photos documenting some party highlights: 

Here's our festive tree.  Don't you love the ornaments?

And check out that Double Dot paper garland! 

The BoBunny gift exchange is always so fun because everyone gets creative and chooses the perfect gift for the person they picked in the drawing.  And, it's a secret until the party! 

Jeri always does a fabulous job decorating for the party! 

The designers and product development team recently started a little tradition called "Wildlife Wednesday." On Wednesdays, everyone wears various animal prints, feathers, leather, anything "wildlife." Laura wanted to make sure that Matthew could participate, so she gifted him this AMAZING t-shirt.  Yes, he's wearing it today. :) 

Alex thought it would be funny to wrap Rae's gift in a huge box, with a smaller box inside, a smaller box inside that one, etc. 

Finally, she found her necklace, wrapped inside a little toilet paper roll! Here's Rae glaring at Alex. 

Jan and Don are big time Razorbacks fans! 

Megan got her first, cute, little baby blankets from Matthew! Baby's due in June! 

We just had to spice up the party a bit with Christmas sweaters! (Laura's idea) 

Here's Amy, Shannon, and Laura (graphic designers).

All the lovely sweater participants! Megan, Kris, Sara, JoAnn, Vicki, Jan, Shannon, Amy, Laura.

And Alex! (Sweater provided by Laura)

Gotta love the tinsel and bells on Vicki's little beauty.  

Merry Christmas everyone!

Christmas Card Kit
Robbie Herring

Designer Tip:  I love the Christmas Card Kits that Bo Bunny makes. This is the kit from last years Father Christmas. It is such and easy way to make beautiful cards in a jiffy! I chose to start with the kit, keep the design and add some personal touches of ribbon and lace

 Some ideas for using lace and ribbon.
Thread thin ribbon through the lace to make a ruffle.

 Use lace to embellish the chipboard Christmas tree. Use a strong adhesive and pinch the lace to make the ruffles. Trim along the edges of the tree. Finish off by adding a bow to the top of the tree.

Use scissors to cut a slit through all three layers of the paper poinsettias. 
Wrap ribbon around the card and pull through the center of the flowers. Tie a bow.
Bo Bunny Supplies:
Card Kit: Father Christmas
Bo Bunny Lace: Clover Lace
Double Dot Ribbon: Cranberry, Almond and Evergreen

Are you inspired to use a little ribbons and lace? I know I am...
Your card doesn't have to be Christmas, it just needs to use
Double Dot ribbon or our new vintage lace, and your choice
of Bo Bunny paper.
There are lots of choices, so the possibilities are endless.
We can't wait to see what you come up with.

You have until January 6, 2013 to add your card.
We will randomly choose from the entries and send you out a
bag-of-happiness (Bo Bunny goodies)
Have Fun!!
