A Mom's Day Mini

Since it was Mother's Day this week, we are going to 
do a couple posts that highlight our moms.

Today, Sam Wright has made a darling mini album
out of the Noteworthy packaging. 

BoBunny's packaging is so beautiful, you can't stand
to throw it away.  Check it out:

When it comes to love, MOM's the word
by Sam Wright
" I created this mini album using the Noteworthy packaging as my base and cover. I also used packaging within my album as embellishments/ journaling spots.
 Take the Noteworthy packaging with the little flap on your right and score at 4"
Next cut a piece of patterned paper 5" x 9". This will be your front cover. Turn the Noteworthy card over so that the little flap is on your left. Glue the paper down. The paper does not cover the flap!!
 For the inside cover:
Cut one 5" x 6" piece of patterned paper
Cut one 5" x 8" piece of patterned paper.
Glue the smaller piece from left to right. The paper goes over the fold(to strengthen the spine)
Taking the second strip- score at 3" and glue the remaining 5" from the centre to the end of the book. This will not cover the small flap either.
The 3" piece that is not stuck down, becomes the first page of your mini!
 Designer tip: To add strength and to ensure the album does not come apart I use double sided tape. However.... PLEASE BE WARNED.... accidents happen easily as there is no repositioning embellishments or paper once it has stuck!!





 Hope you enjoyed this little mini and if you do have a go at making one, please share it with us on the Bo Bunny Facebook Page! We'd love to see!"

Technique Tuesday with Agnieszka & Key Lime

I love Technique Tuesday's!!
Our Design Team teaches me so much everyday.

Agnieszka used the Key Lime collection and created
an amazing album with techniques you can use over & over again.

Mini album: Life is sweet
by Agnieszka Piskorz
 "Hello! I wanted to show you how easy it can be to decorate the cover of the album. This technique can also be used in other projects.

I found in a drawer box with window (paspartu) I thought it would be perfect for the cover of my album. To okladka you better, I thought I'd do something colorful but simple. I found a piece of bubble foil, embossing ink, colored powders, glitter and colored inks. I tried to be chosen to match the colors of my album, a collection of Key Lime.

 Think that this is a bubble wrap stamp;)  first rub embossing ink then colored inks.
 Then stamp the bubble wrap on the entire cover.
 Sprinkle embossing powder and glitter.

Melt powder with a heat gun. When you are ready you can decorate.
I love to make chipboard stickers into other decorations, peel off the layer of adhesive, then make a hole and it can be hung on the back of album

 Front album is three-dimensional, wave also covered the glitter and jewels.
This is my finished mini album. It's got pictures of the beach in Spain, the pictures are my children and husband. I love to remember that summer, it was wonderful."

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 


Bo Bunny Supplies:
Patterned Paper: Heat Wave, 6x6 Paper Pad / Key Lime, Yellow Dot Cardstock
Chipboard: 12x12 Chipboard/ Key Lime
Stickers: Combo Stickers/ Key LimeBo Bunny Supplies:
Noteworthy: Key Lime
Blossoms: Denim Blue Zinnia

Romy Veul

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!

Mixin' it up

I'm oooolways so impressed with the way our DT and so many of you
are able to mix up collections and make them look so amazing together.

This is a technique that makes me stretch my creativity.

So if this concept comes easy to you or if it makes you stretch,
I think you'll love these ideas!

Cards 
by Agnieszka Piskorz



 Designer Tip:
If you have a few flowers, or are too big you can separate them. I used one flower on two cards.

Snap shot!

 I have made flowers from aqua foil by Die cutting them and then emboss it. Then I have made layers and put them together with a brad. You can do this also using cork or felt. 
Because I stamped and sprayed in the background with an
aqua color it comes up in the molding pasta.
