Mix and Match Scrapbook Pages 2

We continue our Mix and Match Week here on the BoBunny blog with more scrapbook pages. Today, Denise and Maryia really show you how to mix it up. Denise used five different collections and Maryia used nine. Now that is mixing and matching for sure!

Beauty by Denise van Deventer

I used a combination of Zip-A-Dee-Doodle, Pincushion, Head Over Heals,Woodland Winter and Fright Delight collections.Can you believe that?! I made sure that I incorporated black, as I needed to ground my photo on the various patterned papers.  The black also adds to the slightly grungy, yet shabby feel.

I made some flowers with die-cuts and instead of using leaves, I used some wool, which was rather thready. It added a different texture to the page, which I loved.

Since a large percentage of this layout was created with Pincushion, I thought it would be a nice touch to include some sewing, so I sewed my buttons to the page.

Happy Day by Maria Potapovich (mellpellmell)

I always love to mix and match different products and materials in my projects. I never worry about whether materials are from the same collection. It's much more interesting to me, to find my own combination and to mix it up!

 On this layout I used nine different collections. Can you find them all?

As always, my LO includes a lot of paint, ink and doodling.

Meet the BoBunny Graphic Designers!

Have you ever wondered about the BoBunny graphic designers?

Today we want you to meet them!

Company owner Jan Lanoy said, "We currently have the best group of designers! We love them, and we know you will love them too! They are going to share their favorite collection they have designed and we are going to share our favorite things about our designers."

My name is Alex. My favorite line that I loved to work on the most was Fright Delight. I love Halloween and I got the chance to add some of my culture into the designs. My inspiration for this line was Dia de los Muertos. 

 Alex is full of surprises! He has traveled the world playing soccer and we are lucky to now have him here designing AWESOME collections for BoBunny. Alex also doubles as our web designer!

My name is Amy. I love to laugh and have a good time. I love drawing cute elements, that is probably my favorite part of any line I design. My style tends to be more cute or graphic and I use lots of bright colors. My favorite line I have ever designed is Keylime, I love the bright colors the beachy surf style and well kind of everything about it. 

Amy is spunky and is SO talented. You will find her at comic con, at her sewing machine, or at the park with her adorable little girl, Alora. Hmmmmm…does that sound familiar?

My name is Laura.Somehow after coming to Bo Bunny I have become the “crazy cat lady”. I think this came from introducing Wildlife Wednesdays. On the first Wednesday I introduced this I decided to wear a t-shirt my brother gave me as a gag gift with a cat face on the front, my title as the “crazy cat lady” has stuck ever since. I love being creative and designing for the scrapbooking industry. I love anything love, so designing Love Letters was definitely one of my favorite lines to design!

Laura is tons of fun, full of energy and just oozes creativity! Laura introduced wild life Wednesday to BoBunny. Everyone is encouraged to wear animal prints of all kinds! Wednesdays are always a surprise!

My name is Rae. My style has slowly transformed over the years with the changing trends, but "vintage" is usually a word that is used when describing my designs. One of my favorite collections I designed was Isabella. The limited color palette of pinks & greys along with the butterflies & flowers captured a simple elegance that I love. I put my heart & soul into each of my designs & love every collection I have ever designed or co-designed. 

In addition to her beautiful designs, Rae is the calm in the middle of BoBunny chaos. Being the mother of 3 beautiful daughters her work is always trendy, vintage, and chic.

Hey I'm Shannon. I think my favorite collection I've made is Mama-razzi2. I absolutely love that one, the colors are bright, and the cameras are so fun to use. It was really fun to recreate this classic line again with a fresh twist. I even got to hide my grandparents in the line on the polaroid paper-Focus (my grandma's the one with the fabulous cat-eye glasses). 

We are always WOWed by Shannon’s incredible work. We are so thrilled and excited about her latest work which will be delivered by a stork the first of January!

The work atmosphere here at BoBunny is incredible. It is created by the wonderful people who work here. The designers are a large contributor and we appreciate all of their hard work!

If you love doilies.... stand up!

Seriously I never get sick of seeing doilies on layouts.

That add so much dimension and character to a project.

Check out what the girls have done today.

I like to mix my trinkets with chipboard, for the embellishment above I used a Dusty Attic Compass chipboard (I gave it a bunch of different coats of embossing powder, hardened with a heat gun) and mounted the BoBunny Trinket in the center.

TIP: A new favorite stamp for me lately is the "It is Written"background stamp! I just love using this one over inked areas and then using a texture paste design over it!

Just chillin' in the winter sunshine

by Sam Wright

 Journaling: Here in Durban, the sun is most always shining! If you take a look at the Official Tourism site, you will see that our slogan is...."Durban, The warmest place to be!"

This Love

For the heritage page, I just had to use the Trail Mix Collection to scrap my grandparent's wedding photo. It was a perfect collection for this picture that was taken in a field. At the time, they were pretty poor and photos were a luxury. We don't have many at all of them and none of the actual ceremony. 

My grandparents were married for 63 years when they passed away within 3 months of each other. They certainly set an example for all of us!

1964 Moment in Time
by Sam Wright

I chose this photo of my mom and my grandfather in 1964. Mom was 14 years old. I just love the special father and daughter bond it represents. I chose the Mama-Razzi2 collection as I wanted to use the "A father is a daughters first love" sticker. I think it rings true of the relationship my mom had with her dad especially as she is an only child. (It can be found on my "hidden journalling" tag)
