Bo Bunny - Trail Mix

Being an outdoor family, I take lots of camping, hiking, fishing, hunting, and just general outdoor pictures. This new line from Bo Bunny, called Trail Mix, is the perfect line to use with all my outdoorsy photos. It has a soft vintage look and feel. I love all the muted earthy tones. Bo Bunny has hit it out of the park again!

There is a good selection of cut-outs for the Trail Mix line, called Noteworthy Journaling Cards make it easy to simply stick on the page. No muss, no fuss! I used dimensional dots to add dimension to the title, journaling square, fish, and the two tags at the bottom right.

This line also has whimsical birds and colors that lend themselves to either gender.

Father's Day is almost here, and this line is perfect to use for those Father's Day cards and mini albums!

Bo Bunny Prairie Chic

I got to use some more amazing Bo Bunny products recently. This time it was their Prairie Chic line. Oh Bo Bunny how do I love thee. Let me count the ways! 1 - wonderfully colorful double-sided paper, 2 - card stock stickers, 3 - dimensional stickers, 4 - petals, and 5 - stamps.

I love the card stock stickers, especially the little square alphabets. I like that they are understated and that the sheet comes with so many of them.

I also used these stitches rubons from Studio112. They are easy to use and enhance the whimsical style.

The Bo Bunny stickers make creating a layout quick and easy, and again, the rub-on stitches just add that special touch.

For this 8x8 layout I used all the fun paper, stickers, and petals that I used on my other layouts, plus I used some of my favorite new texture stamps, also from Bo Bunny.

The variety of patterns in this collection offer endless options for cards that you can make for just about anyone, and the dimensional stickers coordinate perfectly!

Crazy Over Authentique!

I am super excited to share my projects from my Authentique kit! I absolutely LOVE this line. The paper is 2-sided so I was able to use lots of different patterns. I used sheets of patterned paper from the "Original" and "Genuine" line which actually coordinated really well together.

This first layout I used an exacto knife to cut out various diamonds from the paper in no certain order. I love the "Genuine" Elements sticker sheet. It comes with sooooo many different words. I had a hard time deciding what phrases to use on my layouts. It also has two sets of alphabet letters and numbers, uppercase and lowercase.

After adhering the diamond paper I wanted to add some texture so I added the diamond pattern using a stencil and modeling paste. I gave the molding paste color by adding acrylic paint before I spread it over the stencil, and after it was dry I went over it with white PanPastel. All of these products and tools can be picked up at Paper Pals! Molding paste is my new favorite medium! Here is a close-up to show you the dimension that is created when used with a stencil.

On the second layout I created I used a lot of the stickers from the "Genuine" Details 12x12 sticker sheet. I had a lot of fun with this layout, and once again I had a hard time deciding what stickers to use.

Along with the incredible assortment of different stickers on the sheet is a set of alphabet stickers that coordinate with everything. I love the simple font and size of them!

I also created a few cards with this gorgeous paper, stickers, and Bo Bunny's Denim Blue Lace.

I designed this card with a pull-out "wallet" that can hold a gift card.

This is the first time I had worked with Authentique products. The paper is very good quality and nice to work with, but don't take my word for it. Head into Paper Pals and try it out for yourself!

Bo Bunny Serenade Line

 Bo Bunny is turning out some gorgeous designs! I was given the Bo Bunny Serenade line to work with last month and I loved it from the moment I laid my hot little hands on it! The colors are so rich and vibrant. I had a hundred ideas running through my head for what I could do with this paper, stickers, and buttons.

I really liked the cutouts sheet with predesigned journaling boxes and phrases. That made it really easy on these layouts. I cut one of the journaling boxes in half and was able to use it on two layouts. I also loved the buttons!

This layout is an 8x8 I created to put in my mom's album. I make her 5-6 layouts each holiday. It really cuts out the hassle of trying to figure out what to get her. She loves new pages for her album more than anything I could ever buy her at the store.

I used the sticker sheet on both of these cards, as well as more of the Bo Bunny buttons!

I made these gift containers from a repurposed soup can (spaghetti if you're wondering) and a plastic drink container. This is my plan for my coworkers' and teacher Christmas gifts this year. Some will be filled with peanut butter popcorn and others with corner bookmarks, like the ones shown in this picture. The bookmarks are a great project to use up all those small scraps of paper we always have leftover, and they're super easy so it's a good project for the kids.
