Live the Life you IMAGINED 

By Agnieszka Bellaidea

From the very first moment I saw the new collection The Avenues I knew we would spend some time together.

I love to work with this color combo and all papers, chipboards, trinkets, and stickers.  They are just a pleasure to work with. For me, as a collector of Bo Bunny papers, it was also very important that I can mix The Avenues with my other favorite collections like C'est La Vie, but if you still have any Country Garden or Prairie Chic papers you can create with them as well.

I believe you will enjoy The Avenues as much as I do!

Hi friends,

For the next few blog posts, we want you to meet our new Design Team and one of their projects they used for their audition

and get to know them a little better...  so join us with your favorite beverage

and meet your new friends.  Don't you love that scrapping brings us together as women from all over?  It's one of my favorite things.

My name is Agnieszka but in the scrapbooking world I go by Bellaidea. Together with my husband - I'm still dating him - we're taking care of our two treasures - a Girl and a Boy.

I love traveling, taking photos, African bush aroma, Pavlova dessert, old books, doilies, trips with friends to Italy, evenings by the fireplace, reading books to my children (even though they can read by themselves). I enjoy audiobooks during long distance drives, praising people for their talent and creativity.

I scrapbook for many reasons! These are to preserve memories, to make my kids remember I always care about them, to have MY time when I need it, to keep in touch with all my scrap-friends all over the world. My style is eclectic, romantic, with a touch of whimsy. My projects are influenced by mixed media. You will find the following on many of my projects: lace, chipboard, doilies, turned corners, fussy cutting, etc... I never forget the most important element of the page which is the photo and a story. Sometimes I hide my journaling when it`s very personal.

Over the last couple of years I have had the pleasure to design for many blog challenges and companies from USA, Austaralia, Scandinavia, Poland, Canada.

I am very proud to design with some "old" and new friends for BO BUNNY now.

I cordially invite you to my blog, Bellaideascrapology where you can find out what I do late at night when the rest of my family is sleeping!

Well hello there my name is Amy Voorthuis I’m 35 of age. I live in The Netherlands with the love of my life Jeroen and our handsome son Kevin (8).

I love to be creative in every way I can, seeing my job as an optician I need to be kind of creative anyways…..fixing all those glasses

I’ve been scrapbooking for over 9 years now and I love it. I got introduced with scrapbooking by my aunt Ellen who lives in the sunny state Florida…..

I think she did an awesome job because I’m hooked for life. BoBunny is one of the first companies I bought papers from (I used to only scrap on white papers) and I feel very blessed they have chosen me to be on their 2013-2014 Design Team. I can't wait to get creative and I hope you all enjoy my work

I am a 32 year old scrapper from Toowoomba, Queensland, Australia. I am married to a very understanding husband who pushes me all the time to persue what I love. I have been scrapping now for 10 years and my 2 children are my main muses'. I am passionate about scrpbooking and love capturing and recording the everyday and special events. 

I am a happy, loving and devoted mother, a giving wife and very happy scrapper and paper hoarder! Pretty papers are my nemesis!!

I live in sunny Johannesburg, South Africa and paper creating is my absolute passion!

My name is Evgenia Petzer, i am 28 years old, Russian girl who now lives in South Africa and loves it! I love to make cards, layouts and sometimes altered items. My style is more feminine, always detailed and layered. I also love photography and try to capture lots of moments of our everyday life. We have a son (who is almost 5), another baby on its way and a cute yorkie and a ginger cat.

And some random facts about me: i drink about 20 cups of green tea every day, i have a constant huge mess in my scraproom, i am addicted to sunshine, my favourite bo bunny collection of all time is Country Garden and i am in love with shabby chic style.

I know you all are feeling my pain when I tell you 

it was so hard to choose winners, right?

Everyone's work is FABULOUS!  

I'm so excited for them to get the newest lines and

start creating. We all are going to be blown away!

Hope you all have a EXCELLENT day!

Misc. Me.... Your story, your way!

I love seeing the progress of the Miscellaneous Me Journals.

What a fun, quick way to document your year.

June Trail Mix Misc. Me

Designed by Lynn Shokoples

 Hi Everyone! You know I love to choose a different collection for each month.

Well this month I chose Trail Mix. I thought it was just the right collection for all my lake photos.

 I used the Vintage Note paper to document what each photo was about on my June calendar.

 All the cut outs on the pattern paper work perfectly with the photo sleeves. So easy to decorate to complete your album

 I thought of a new fun idea. Placing the stickers right onto the photo sleeves

 With the stickers and elements in the collection, the pages came together quite quickly.

I couldn't resist a few chipboard pieces and trinkets.

Patterned Paper: Hollow, Woodland Picnic, 6x6 Paper Pad/ Trail Mix

Stickers: Camping Cardstock Stickers, Combo Stickers/ Trail Mix

July Misc. Me

BoBunny Supplies:

Patterned Paper: Weekend Market

Chipboard:Weekend Market

Misc. Me: Vintage Calendar Dividers, C'est la Vie Dividers, Vintage Note Paper

It's so much fun that our collections mix and coordinate so well.

You can use older lines along with new ones and still

document your life quick and easy!

Enjoy your day!

If you love doilies.... stand up!

That add so much dimension and character to a project.

2 or more of the same photo & 12 x 12 chipboard

once on a single page that we wanted to try it out.

TIP: I printed one photo 1 inch smaller than the other and layered them directly on top of each other. I used foam to back the smaller one to add extra dimension. Since we were also featuring chipboard, I layered that, too. I put the smaller flourish directly on the top of the larger one. In addition to liking the look, it made the dimension of my embellishing a similar height to my layered photo.

I've been FRAMED!

Today's post is all about framing....

Framing your layout, your photo, part of your photo, etc.

Use framing as a way to direct the viewer’s perspective of your scrapbook page.

To gets their eye and mind involved in your page and taking in its story.

Happiness

Gabrielle Pollacco

 "I thought I'd show a couple of ways of using Bo Bunny products for framing. I used some of the Jewel Flourishes to create a flourishy frame, placing the photo first on some vintage cardstock and then layering the flourishes around the photo. I then trimmed around the flourishes

I also used one of the new background stamps to create a finer frame in the background to draw in the eye and help frame in the title. Here are some close-ups.."

 Royalty
Romy Veul

 "Our cat Beertje loves to behave as if she is a diva. I think this photo shows off her attitude pretty well. Therefore, I thought it would be nice to frame this photo and give it a royal touch. I used a chipboard frame to accent the photo and then added some banners and layered chipboard to make it look more rich."

 "I tried to create the illusion of several papers framing the layout itself. The background die cut shape was to represent an ornate frame and then the inner papers were to represent the matting... I also tried to frame the photo by using several pieces of noteworthy layered upon one another."
