Somewhere In Time 12 x 12 Misc Me

Did you know that the Somewhere In Time collection is perfect for your Misc Me and pocket style scrapbooking? Today, Lynn and Irene share how they used this fabulously versatile collection to record a weekend getaway and a month in the life of a family. How will you use Somewhere In Time?


Our Day In Banff by Lynn Shokoples


Good Morning! For my Misc. Me pages this month I used some photos from our recent get-a-way to the mountains. The Somewhere In Time collection was just the perfect background for these photos. I thought the blues of this collection were made for the sky and water. I used the cards from the 12x12 patterned sheets and just used my corner rounder to make the cards look like the journaling cards.


I wanted the photos to blend into the cards so I did a lot of fussy cutting and tucked the photos into the cards. I loved the letter stickers on the Combo Sticker sheet. I wanted the words to stand out and be on of the focal points of my pockets.


The last thing and one of my favorite things to do is stamping! The new stamp sets were so much fun to play with. I adore stitching on projects and with the new Stitches Stamp, this made stitching just too much fun! I also played with the To The Point Stamps which have the cutest arrows, words and bubbles! I couldn't help myself, I used them all!

Back In Time by Irene Tan


For my Misc Me pages this month, I've decided to continue with some old photographs of Chloe and Ryan growing up. The new "Somewhere In Time" collection is perfect to showcase these old photographs. I tried to create a slightly distressed look on these two pages by using some simple techniques such as distressing the edges of the papers with a distresser, masking, inking and misting.



I'm so in love with the new Gateway and Stitches stamp sets. It is so easy to add little details using them.

Somewhere In Time Scrapbook Pages

We are truly amazed at the versatility of the Somewhere In Time collection. Today, some of our BoBunny Designers show even more themes that can be scrapbooked with this collection including heritage military photos, children being children and vacation photos to Paris!


A Moment in Time by Megan Gourlay


Somewhere in Time is one of those versatile collections that can be transformed into anything from soft feminine projects, to timeless masculine ones and that's what I wanted to share with you today.

This photo is my father-in-law taken during his military service training in the NZ Army Medical Corp - it was compulsory in NZ to join the services and complete military training from 1949 until 1972; such a controversial decision by parliament that it divided the country and the Labour Party at the time.


I've taken my background paper and grunged it up with distressing, misting, texture paste and ripping into it to give the feel of an old tattered piece of paper. Some of the cogs I have used from the Noteworthy pack I have cut in half to save for another project and some have been cut from the paper. The wooden cogs I have inked and 'aged' with bronze pastels.

You Don't Understand by Maria Potapovich (mellpellmell)


You know that the older we get, the less we understand in this life! The smartest - kids ... well, they're being quite sure about.



In this LO I used a lot of paint, gesso, ink pens (as usual). Nice that this paper allows me not to be afraid to use different media on it! Stamps made ​​it possible to soften the bold background pattern.

Parijs by Romy Veul




This spring I went to Paris with my boyfriend and we took some photos of each other in front of the Eiffel Tower. As soon as I saw the gorgeous Somewhere in Time collection I knew I wanted to print the photos in sepia and scrap them with these beautiful papers. These papers are definitely timelessly beautiful and perfect for any occassion!



I used a mixture of yellow, black and beige papers on this lay-out and choose mainly blue details to add a bit of contrast On the background I did lots of stamping with the brick stamps from the Large Stamps series.

I created two clusters of embellishments on my lay-out, which consist of Noteworthy die-cuts and some layered chipboard stickers. They are definitely my favourite embellishments. I think they add some beautiful dimension to every creation. To add even more dimension to your creations you can even layer several chipboard stickers on top of each other, like I did with the flowers and clock on this lay-out.

Somewhere In Time Tags and Cards

Today, some of our amazing design team members share how to use the Somewhere In Time collection to create a variety of cards and tags. We have something for just about everything to share with you including thank you cards, get well wishes and even a Mother's Day card! Have you used Somewhere In Time to create any cards yet? Make sure to share them with us on our Facebook page!


Thank You Tag by Gabrielle Pollacco


I'm a big fan of making my patterned papers stretch as far as they can, so I usually start by making a layout first (you need larger pieces for 12x12 layouts)....then I take the scraps and create cards out of them.  The tag (above) was made from some paper I had left over from the last layout I made with the Somewhere In Time collection.


I used a fabric flower to accent the tag and for the smaller blooms I used a punch on the 'Antiquity' paper, gave it a little crinkle and some chalk inking on the edges.  I tucked a little bit of cheesecloth in to help give more of a tattered look.


I love the 'You're Invited' stamp set, I think I've used this set over and over. I used the simpler font style stamps for this card because I felt it matched the look of the card/tag better.

Patterned Paper: Antiquity, Timeless/Somewhere In Time
Cardstock Stickers: Somewhere In Time
Stamps: You're Invited Large Stamps



Thank You Card by Gabrielle Pollacco


I was going for a more elegant look for this card. I love the ornate fence stamp, so I thought I'd create a little garden scene.  I did a little fussy cutting of floral and clock elements and punched some blooms from the coordinated paper as well.


I chose the fancier font style stamps for this card because I wanted to continue the elegant styling into the title as well.

Get Well Soon by Denise van Deventer 


I love the earthy tones of this collection and also the vintage feel that it has. It also has some lovely patterned papers that allows for fussy cutting, so that one doesn't need too many embellishments.


I fussy cut some of the beautiful, big flowers and then layered them, to create my layered centre flower. I also fussy cut some leaves and swirly pattern elements to add to my flower cluster.

Life's Journey Has Many Paths by Denise van Deventer


I again went for a vintage, shabby feel to this card and distressed the edges and layered up bits and pieces of off-cuts that I had accumulated after I had completed a page.


I used some of the cogs from the Noteworthy pack, which are really fabulous and are so versatile. I used a white gel pen to just highlight a few areas on my leaves and around the stickers and on my layered pieces. It just adds another little bit of interest and adds some highlights at the same time.

Today, our designers share this wide range of usage with a trio of amazing and inspiring scrapbook pages! How have you used our Somewhere In Time collection? We'd love to see it!


Just Breathe by Rhonda Van Ginkel


I am so thrilled to get to work with this beautiful new collection of ours, the colors, the patterns and designs are so lovely! I thought it would be fun to use the line with a wedding photo. 


The "Just Breathe" banner is an element of the Baby Bump Noteworthy collection and it worked perfectly for my getting ready wedding page. There are many fussy cut elements here as well as some stamping. I used the Autumn Song musical notes on my sentiment block and our new Stitches doily stamp and stitch stamps.

This was such a fun page to work on! I love how all of our collections really work together and make coordinating a page so much fun. On this page you see papers from Somewhere In Time and embellishments from Baby Bump, Autumn Song, Modern Miss, Pincushion and Zip-A-Dee Doodle.

Dream by Ilene Tell


How gorgeous is this new release?? I really love the colors and the vintage images. The wood grain paper and the darker, richer colors were perfect for a more masculine LO and matched this picture, with the trees in the background, really well. I also added some elements from the wooden embellies, as well as from the Zip-A-Dee Doodle and Pop Quiz collections. It's great that so many of the Bo Bunny collections work well for mixing and matching.


The Blue Denim Dahlia flowers are a perfect match for Somewhere In Time as well.

Kitty Layout by Lisa Nazario-Gregory


Somewhere in Time is simply timeless... The blues, the golds, and buttery beige colors are divine! There is no wondering what colors to put together because it is all done for you in this collection. The new Stitches Stamps are wonderful. I used one of them to outline the layout and another for the photo mat. I wanted to use the Somewhere in Time collection exclusively for this project. It didn't need any other color.


I die cut and created all of the flowers and leaves using various papers in the collection. For the middle of the flowers, I used Double Dots Vintage paper and further distressed it with brown ink.

I used some molding paste and a mask for the background and then sprayed it with mist spray in blue to match the papers. I also used some white acrylic paint to splash on. I added some jewels here and there for texture.

Vintage Music Album by Agnieszka Bellaidea


Several months ago I started collecting LP's and every now and again I have a chance to buy a "new" LP, today I want to show you mini transformation of an old music album. I used Somewhere in Time collection to redo the look. Since I am going to use my album a lot  and I will store it with all the others I wanted to make it pretty but still durable.

While working on this projects I was thinking about all books I used to fix in school's library. We liked to redo covers with my friends.


I kept the old cover from fabric and used stamps with gold embossing powder. Washi tape was also a great choice for durable look.

Embellishments Suitcase by Amy Voorthuis


I finally had a purpose for a suitcase I had in my stash for a while now, I was waiting for the right collection.
I bought this suitcase at a flea market for 2 euro's (it was so ugly *grin*) My husband changed the handle for me which I bought at a hardware store just for this suitcase.
  

First I used gesso for the whole suitcase to give it a softer look, then I tore all the paper in little pieces and just randomly stuck it on there with Glue N' Seal (matte finish). When is was all dry I finished it off with a little more gesso. The backside is just with the torn paper as I will use this laying down anyways.
