Designer Showcase - Tara Orr

Today we are spotlighting Tara Orr. Tara's projects ooolways make me want to scrap.

You're going to fall in love with the Love Letters collection!

I love all the layers and dimension she adds, her projects have so much character and

every time I look I find something new I didn't see before. 

And seriously, she has ADORABLE subjects to scrap!

Hi everyone! Can't believe Bo Bunny wants to spotlight little ol' me!! Well, I've created a special project for a special friend - please take a peek! This mini album was made for a sweet friend and contains the most adorable photos of her grand daughter, Lexi, who has just turned 1! There were another 2 pages that I designed for this mini but I ended up posting the album before taking photos as I wanted to ensure that this lovely lady would receive before Christmas.

Warm and Cozy Layout Tutorial

For technique Tuesday, Gabrielle is showing us how to make a 

layout that gives you the warm fuzzies using the 

Powder Mountain collection and some Tutu Double Dot!

I love it!

Gabrielle Pollacco

~ Use soft color palette (here I used a soft pink, grey and tan)

~ Decorating with soft fabric blooms (here I used Bo Bunny's crocheted blooms and made some felt  roses ...see a brief tutorial below to make these)
~ Add textural fabric elements (here I used some burlap, and paper lace as well as some crocheted lace) to give the page a homespun feel.
~ Add buttons and machine stitching, it's a quick way to give a page a soft fabric look. And don't forget the little details like tying some kitchen twine through the button holes, it gives a nice finish to the flower centers.

 Here are some close-ups of the page...

Here is a brief tutorial on how I made the felt roses, it's so easy with felt, you almost don't need glue because felt is almost like velcro at holding itself together!
