Bright & Fun Misc Me!

Good Morning Everyone! Since it's Spring here in Canada, I couldn't wait to play with the bright fun colors in the #Forever Young Collection. It reminds me of all the beautiful colors popping out of the garden. Today I am sharing some of my Misc.Me pages and the Misc.Me White & Kraft binder using the #Forever Young Collection and the Stained Textures Stamp Set.

You're So Sweet by Lynn Shokoples

For the album I cut a piece of the 12x12 paper on an angle and then added some of the fun embellishments from the Noteworthy Package. A fun way to add some fun colors to the album cover.

For my Misc. Me pages I went back to 1991 and chose some fun photos of my daughter. She was just turning 3 years old. My how time flies, my little girl is now 27!! I love doing random pages for my album of years gone past and remember all the wonderful memories.After placing my photos, I worked on each card doing some stamping with the Double Dot Pink Punch Ink before adhering the photo down. A little trick I learnt after getting ink all over a photo while stamping, lol.

After the stamping, out came the Chipboard pieces, some Noteworthy and some Layered Chipboard. I find it brightens up the cards adding that little extra something. It also gives the layout some added dimension. The Noteworthy pieces go a long way. The banner border was cut up and placed on three different cards.

All the cards came from the #Forever Young Journal Contents package. So easy and so fun picking out which cards to use. 

Thank you all for joining me today! Have a wonderful day!

Wonderful Wood Shapes Mini!

Hello everyone! Ilene here to share a mini album I created using the fun "#Forever Young" collection.

11th Birthday Mini Album by Ilene Tell

 My daughter's 11th birthday will be in July, so this collection was perfect for a summery, pre-teen, tropical birthday party. And I was actually scrapping ahead! I decorated the cover with the gorgeous clock from the "Clockwork" wood shapes, and misted it pink. (The little chipboard piece is pointing at 11, of course :)

To make this album quick and easy, I simply cut out 12x7 pieces from the paper, and then folded them in half to create 7x6 pages - the BoBunny paper is nice and firm, and when folded in half creates very sturdy pages. I then added photo mats slightly larger than 4x3 size to fit the photos, and added embellishments (the photos will slide under the embellies, since I made sure that they were not glued down where the photo goes).

I also took three Misc Me 6x8 page protectors and trimmed them down to 6x6 - those will nicely fit 4x6 photos with a 2 inch strip at the bottom for decoration and possibly some journaling.

Even though this album was very quick and easy to put together, it will fit six 4x6 photos and 16 3x4 photos - so 20 photos total! Which will be perfect to commemorate such a wonderful occasion. (It doesn't hurt that my daughter really fell in love with this collection - it fits her so well :)

I also added one pocket page for memorabilia. I took one of the Kraft Misc Me envelopes and trimmed 2 inches off the bottom to fit the mini. Then, I hand-stitched the bottom closed.

Well, get ready for a bunch more pics... here's the rest of the mini:

Spectacular Kraft Bag Card!

Hi there BoBunny fans! :)

Have you used Kraft Bags before in your scrapbooking or card making?  This week we've been showing you how versatile they are and today I wanted to show you a couple of ways of incorporating them into your cards.

Envelope Card by Megan Gourlay

This first idea was pretty simple.  Split the bag down the seam and then have butterflies flying out of it! To decorate the bag, I've first randomly painted on gesso, and then applied gold Pearlescents.  Once dry, (and the beauty of Pearlescents is it dries quickly!), I've randomly stamped over my bag with a couple of my favourite stamps.

I've die cut one of the butterflies from the new Flutter die and slightly curled the wings to give it 'flight'. I've also used some of the new laser cut butterflies.

Here you can see I've lined the inside of my bag.  To decorate my laser cut butterflies, I've first applied gesso, then applied Glimmer Spray.  Once it was dry I rubbed in some more gold Pearlescents.


Gift Card Holder by Megan Gourlay

This time Ive taken two of the larger bags and joined them together by sliding the openings into each other.  This gave me the base of my card which became 15" long - I then folded at 5", and again at 6 & 6.25" to give me room for depth of my embellishments, when it was folded shut.

I've taken the Polaroid frame from the Noteworthy set and popped it up with foam, layering flowers and the filmstrip in behind.

Here you can see the card opened up.  The piece on the left is a pocket to slide in a gift card, vouchers or cash.  On the right is a panel for writing a wee message.

I hope you've enjoyed our week of Kraft Bag inspiration, we would love for you to share how you've used them on our Facebook page!

Sweet Ideas With Kraft Gift Bags!

Sweet As Can Be by Tracee Provis

Hello friends! I am documenting my Granddaughters trip to Euro Disney and the Forever Young Collection has a whole host of colours and patterns that are perfect for my pictures, coupled with the Quatrefoil Kraft bags they make a great combination!

I added in a little mixed media using the BoBunny Inks, Stencils and Pearlescents.

I started by using the quatrefoil design stencil from the Cascade set to replicate the pattern on my Kraft Bags. Instead of using ink or other medium I used a fine journaling pen to add the pattern to my page, I then took the polka dot stencil from the Brocade set and gently used the Pink Punch ink to create the dots. Finally I used one of the Butterflies from the Butterflies Stencil to add Graphite Pearlescents over the top (taking care not to get the paste near the edge of the wing shape, as I only required the pattern on his wings for my page).

I used the new BoBunny Foil Transfers in silver to create the "be" word in my title and they are the most gorgeous shiny silver and rub on like a dream! I cut one of the panels from a strip of film strip from the same Forever Young Collection and used it as an aperture for my title. I used the leftover piece and cut the camera and smile piece to add to my cluster.

The Kraft Bags are great for so many things and they can be incorporated into your pages quite easily, here it was a way for me to add some pockets to my page for extra photos or journaling. I took one of the large bags from the pack and cut it in half, I then traced and cut out the top on the second one to look the same as the top one, I glued the bottom and tucked a journaling card into it, the top one has some extra photos in.

I punched out some extra hearts from the Bestie sheet and after inking the edges I put them on pop dots and layered them over the paper to give some subtle dimension. I used the Licorice Ink on the edges to give it a slight grungy look, its very effective I think.

Off the Page With Chevron Kraft Bags!

Is it a purse? Is it an envelope? No, it’s a Kraft bag!! Kraft bags are versatile with so many uses! Today I wanted to show you a few things you can do with our fun Kraft Bags that are OTP! (of the page)

Chevron Kraft bags & #ForeverYoung by Pia Johnson

BoBunny Kraft bags come in several patterns and will coordinate with any of our collections! For this project I chose the Chevron Bags and the super fun #ForeverYoung collection.

The envelope below was made by opening a Kraft Bag up at the seams then scoring to fold as an envelope; the inside was lined with paper to give it a fun color pop when opened!

Having a party? Here is a fun and easy way to make a utensil holder; just add some paper to trim the top of the bag, a doily, some fun string, an embellishment and it’s ready to be filled!

Below, I made an envelope but this time it was placed on the front of a card and filled with hearts! Do you know any chevron lovers who would adore a card like this?

 Here are a couple of goodie bags. They were made by splitting the bottoms of the bags open, and folding like paper sacks to help them stand up. I also decorated then with doilies, paper and string adding a great splash of color and fabulous accent. 

It’s fun to think outside the box sometimes…what do the Kraft Bags inspire you to make?

Misc Me & Krazy Kraft Gift Bags

Hello everyone! Today, I'm going to share with you a fun and colorful misc me project featuring the "#ForeverYoung" collection. First up, I've altered a Misc Me Gold Kraft Binder to store these misc me pages which I'm going to show you later on.

Great Adventures Binder by Irene Tan

I've used some papers and embellishment from this collection to embellish it. To add some textures and dimensions to it, I've used the Cascade stencil with some texture paste to create part of the background. Besides that, to frame part of the title, I've used the Lattice dies.

Great Adventures Misc Me Pages by Irene Tan

These are the Misc Me pages which I've created using "#ForeverYoung" collection. It documents the fun adventures we had while climbing a hill behind a cave. I did not do much of mixed media this time. Just some stamping and layering.

As for my assignment today, I'm asked to include a Kraft Gift bag in my project. Therefore, I've added an extra page among these pages using a kraft gift bag. I've cut off the top part of the gift bag and use it as a pocket page where I could keep more pictures and momentos from this trip.

I cut out the cork board from the pattern paper to attach in the front of the gift bag and use it as a cork board page. I've added a picture of the trip and another cut out on top of the cork board.

Last day of the Blog Hop!!

Welcome to the last day of the bloghop that we're doing along with our friends at Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L!

Lukas by Ulrika Wandler

I have this favorite picture of my youngest son! I seem to be scrapping it over and over again... ;-)

This black and white version of the picture was perfect to match with papers and embellishments from the colorful Forever Young.  I used Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L Foam squares on the back side of the paper circles.

This is to make them pop from the background paper!

As you can see, they pop!

Aren't these color perfect together?! Hot pink, green and some black and white!

Here you can see two Scrapbook Adhesive 3L Foam squares with some BoBunny Glitter Paste on them!

I loved working with this collection, and I loved working with Scrapbook Adhesive by 3L! A perfect match!
