Interactive Cards

What a fun day...

We have cards that are interactive and a super fun idea for kids.

Quick story.... most women love handmade cards, right?

We tend to hang onto them if they are handmade.

That really wasn't my mom's thing... and that's okay.

But my dad... Different story.

I was helping my mom clean up one day and in my dad's dresser drawer...

There was every card/invite etc. I had ever made him.

It made my day, (and many many days since then too) to think

what I made was that important to him. The end.

Hello Friend 

by Lynn Shokoples

 This fun little card swings open in the middle. 

I used the Prairie Chic Noteworthy package to decorate the whole card. 

There are so many fun elements in the package! 

Great for layering or for adding that little something.

 The little envelope was a piece from the Noteworthy package. I added a few other pieces to decorate it. I'm going to surprise someone with a gift card tucked inside.

Card Help

Mireille Divjak

 Interactive cards.. when I was thinking about this I couldn't get this "card Help" out of my mind. When I was younger my grandmother taught me children's card games. I had a lot of trouble holding the cards in my hands so she made me a card Help. 

 Seeing the playing cards on the patterned paper,

 kinda put one and one together. 

It's a very simple idea. 

I used 4 coasters, decorated them on both sides with patterned paper. 

Used Noteworthy for further decoration purposes. To protect the 

"Card Help" in case we want to play at sea in the summer I cut circles from plastic wrapping material. I put two coasters together, put the plastic 

circles on the outside, put buttons in the middle and poked holes. 

Then I stitched everything together. In the space between the two 

coasters you can put your playing cards.

Hope they will have hours of playing fun holding there BoBunny Card Help.

Scraplift Style Swap!

Sandy Toes and Salty Kisses 

by Lynn Shokoples

For this layout I didn't step out of my comfort zone, I leaped!
My first challenge was scraplifting a layout from Laurie Lariviere, a very sweet friend of mine and a very talented artist.
I also challenge myself to use bright colors, where I tend to use more earth tones in my projects. Secondly I love to layer and I held back on this one! And no inking all the edges, that was a first for me!!
It was fun to jump out my comfort zone and try a new style! Here is the link to Laurie's layout

My lay-out isn't really a lift of someone in particular. I have been seeing a lot of stamping and use of mixed media on backgrounds lately. Usually I am a little afraid to not keep my papers as they are, but for this assignment I tried to 'let go' and did some random stamping and gessoing on the background and some more rough distressing on the edges of my papers. 

Bo Bunny supply list:
Patterned paper: Celebration, Country, History, Legacy/ Anthem
6 x 6 paper pad: Anthem
Stickers: Anthem Combo Sticker
Chipboard: Anthem Layered Chipboard Stickers, Anthem 12 x 12 Chipboard
Brads: Anthem
Notewothy: Anthem
Stamps: Distressed Textures Stamps

Designer Note: I titled my lay-out 'limited edition' because this photo is pretty much a 'limited edition'. My brother would do everything to not have their photo taken. This spontaneous photo that I took of him is a very rare one.

And It's finally here! The Shopping List for May's class that will for sure be starting on Monday! I know y'all were worried!

Guest Designer Vicki Boutin

We're so sad this is Vicki's last day with us,

but we want to thank her for her fun inspiration this week!!

"I have such a great time making projects for my guest week here at Bo Bunny.  Today I have a layout to share using the Surprise line.  I am all about bright colors so this line is right up my alley!  And who doesn’t love a party!!

Life is a Party

Vicki Boutin 

 I used the Surprise paper with the balloons as a base and the Surprise Combo Stickers to create this page in about 30 mins.  Gotta love when a page comes together that quickly!

  I highlighted the balloons with stickers and gems.

 The Surprise Banner paper is AWESOME!!!  I cut out a couple for the corner here.

  

Thanks for letting me share my love of Bo Bunny this week.  It’s been a blast!"

It was our pleasure to have you Vicki... thanks for playing.

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.
