RAWR by Ilene Tell

Yep, still scrapping like crazy with this this colorful collection! I just low how perfect it is for a little boy, and it fit this pic of my son with his new red dragon so well. I can't get enough of the "All-Star" sheet - I use it to cut out the letters, and here, I used it for the number "5" on the bottom right. So useful.


I did some doodling to emphasize some of the elements and edges, and traced around the monster on the bottom left so it wouldn't fade too much into the background. I also used a bunch of foam adhesive to pop up some of the elements, and even the photo itself, so the chipboard chevron line could fit well under it.

In the image below, do you see the really pretty colorful "leaves" I added to the flowers? They're actually cut out from the "Our Lil' Monster" sheet - they're the trees, and I cut them in a leaf shape, making sure the "veins" faced in the right direction. That's another thing I love about this collection - there are so many great images, so if you like layering or fussy cutting, then this is definitely for you!

Woof Woof! by Megan Gourlay

When I first spied the Happy Tails collection I was so excited!  I had the perfect excuse now to start scrapping my two fur babies :)  This collection is full of bright bold colors, tied together muted creams and off whites that just scream dogs, or cats for that matter ;)

Its not often I create double layouts, but when I have multiple photos that I want to use, but don't want to detract from the design of the page, and still include journalling, then double layouts are the best way to go. Particularly if there is a story to tell - and there was this day!  Neither of them would co-operate this day, look at that resigned look on their wee faces lol.

The chipboard word I've used for my title has been painted with a light coat of gesso, stamped with a script stamp and then edged for definition with black ink.

A mixture of chipboard embellishments, buttons and jewels, topped off with a piece of Noteworthy created a fun cluster in the corner. Layering  chipboard embellishments also creates depth and adds interest to the page.


Designer Tip: Misc Me is also great not just for pocket style scrapbooking, Ive incorporated a piece of into my layout - can you spot it?

2 Page Layouts

If you're like me then you take WAY too many pictures,

then 2 page layouts are a must.

I'm loving the way the girls used the Trail Mix collection

and the Key Lime collection to create their double page layouts.

2 Page Layouts

I love 2 page layouts for those events where I just keep

snapping pictures because I'm having so much fun!

I can't believe how perfect Debbie's photos go with the Prairie Chic paper,

it's like they were MFEO.  Then Sarah used the same collection but it looks 

entirely different and fits her pictures perfectly.

Then, after you get over Mireille's stunning carnival pictures of her adorable

daughter, you can see how perfectly Surprise worked for her.

There you have it. Gift box, tag & layouts. The possibilities are endless!
and.... tomorrow is December!!!!

Quick & Easy 2 page layouts and more!

Today's post is LOADED!!

First of all we have some awesome 2 page layouts for you!

(okay...only 2 - 2 page layouts!  gggrrrrrrrr.... mine is sitting on my counter

top, so I DON'T forget to take it to work to scan)

A whole lotta good it's doing us there.  Sorry :(

And I'm sad cuz I used fun pictures at the beach in Cali when a couple

of my friends and I took a road trip 

and I was able to play with the new DETOUR collection.

I'm over it and moving on....

(but make sure to read all the way to the end... cuz there's more)

Today's formula for our layouts is:

4 patterned papers
1-2 pieces Double Dot cardstock
2 embellishment packs of your choice 

Hummingbird Festival
Juliana Michaels

Designer Tip:

The tabbed piece of paper contains my journaling 

about what I learned when I went to this festival. 

This is a great way to include journaling when you have a lot to say 

or if you want to keep it more private.

Create your own dimensional flowers from cardstock 

stickers or by fussy cutting like flowers

 from patterned paper and layer them with double sided foam tape. 

You can further embellish them by using Jewels as the center of the flower. For more details on how I created the flowers please visit my blog: 17turtles 

 How to use the left overs:

1. Create another layout by adding another full 12 x 12 sheet of paper and using the left over pieces of patterned paper and cardstock. 

2. Fussy cut more flowers to use on cards or another layout.

3. The extra stickers will certainly create another layout.

4. Use the jewels to embellish the left over stickers and use them on a card or layout.

 Bo Bunny Supplies:

Patterned Papers: Bubbles, Doodles, Wish/ Alora

(I used 2 of Bubbles)

Cardstock: Double Dot in Poppy Dot

Jewels: Alora

Stickers: 12 x 12 Combo Sticker/ Alora

Smile
Robbie Herring

 Designer Tips: 

1.    When choosing papers, be sure to consider both sides. The Apple Cider Journey paper has some really great shapes on the front side, and a plaid on the back side. I cut the shaped piece in the upper left side, the apple, the upper scalloped border and the word smile from the front side. The plaid on the back made the perfect print for layering punched flowers.

2.    Another way I used the backside was to choose the Apple Cider Dot paper. It had a nice word print that I used to help center my design and a dark dotted backside to punch a border and use for the back layers of my punched flowers.

3. Don't forget the packaging! In addition to using the layered chipboard for added dimension around my page, I also used the packaging to punch out leaves for my flowers.

4. Pull out your old scalloped scissors and use them to cut a contrast border around select pieces. I used mine to cut the scalloped border around the shaped piece.

 Left Overs: 

1. I have a LOT of the combo stickers left over. I will be using both the alphabets, borders and other shapes on future layouts. Those stickers go a LONG way and are such a great embellishment to buy to help stretch your supplies.

2. I also have quite a bit left of the Coffe Dot Cardstock. I keep a file folder for all my Double Dot Paper scraps. It will go into that folder to be used when I need accents.

Cardstock: Double Dot in Coffe Dot
Layered Chipboard: Apple Cider
Stickers: 12 x 12 Combo Sticker/ Apple Cider




Now... for our next item of business...
It's a sad and a happy day.


We have love, love, loved having our fabulous guest designer Julie
play along with us all summer!  She has been amazing and exceeded any expectations we had.
I seriously don't know how she does it... she is so on top of things and is such a wonderful mom and wife and we have thoroughly enjoyed having her.
(And lucky for us... she has been playing and commenting and facebooking 
with us for a long time and we're not really losing her...) 


We love you Julie!  Thanks for playing.


And now.... 
We would like to introduce our next guest designer:


Lynn Shokoples
(and Jax and Daisy)

Hi Everyone! My name is Lynn Shokoples and I live  in Alberta Canada. It's a honor to be a guest designer at Bo Bunny. I've been scrapbooking since the beginning of time when all there was available was some paper, pens and scalloped rulers. I started my first baby album in 1992. Let's just say my style has evolved since then. I love to try new techniques and go between a shabby style to cute and fun layouts.  I've been a Bo Bunny fan right from the start and will admit to stashing some of eachcollection for that "special layout".   When I'm not scrapbooking, I'm a wife and a  mom to two wonderful young adults Nicole 24 and Ryan 20, a new son-in-law Christopher. I'm also a new mom to two rambunctious Goldendoodle puppies. Keeps my life interesting! I'm excited to be a part of this amazingly talented group of ladies whom I've admired for years, so thank you Bo Bunny!
