A Gift of Time with BoBunny

Happy Friday to you!

I have a fun project to share with you that I had on the BoBunny blog earlier this week. The assignment was a teacher's gift.

When given the assignment for a teacher gift, I reflected back on last year and what seemed to be asked for most often in Kindergarten.

It was always time, either volunteer time for special days or to assist in classroom activities. My idea is to give your commitment of time to the teacher so they know they have a little help. The coupon book was created using a Silhouette cut file.

I decided to create nine pages and label them each for the school months of the year, September through May. There are six pages of coupons for one hour of time. The teacher can redeem them by sending them back in the kids traveling folder to let me know when they would like help.

There are three months where I thought it would be fun to include a small gift card. It would be easy to do ones in small denominations for Coffee, Lunch or an Ice Cream or Department Store. At this time I do not yet know our teacher assignments, so I've kept the book gender neutral. The Somewhere in Time collection was really perfect for my project!

BoBunny Supplies:
Patterned Paper: Somewhere In Time, Antiquity, Beauty, Chrononaut, Evening Mist, Memento and Passage / Somewhere in Time;
Chipboard: The Avenues 12x12, Somewhere in Time 12x12, Somewhere In Time Layered Chipboard
Brads: Somewhere In Time
Stickers: Combo Sticker, Somewhere in Time
Misc Me Stickers: The Avenues
Washi Tape: Kraft Patterned

Thanks so much for stopping on over today! Have a super scrappity weekend!!!

Frames, Flowers and Flourishes with Cheery Lynn

Happy Monday! It's Monday and you know what that means?  It's my day to share a project over on the Cheery Lynn Designs blog!

Today my card is all about the soft and pretty frames, flowers and flourishes that Cheery Lynn Designs has. I started my card with a frame, moved on to add some flowers and flourishes and came up with this as my final result:

 

I started with one of my favorite frames, the Fiona's Magic Mirror. Next I layered the medium size Horizon Oval Boutique Stacker cut from black cardstock. On top of that is an Oval Scalloped Stacker. Each of these layers is adhered with foam squares for dimension. 

 

The Quill and Ink Pot die was used to cut my 2 Quills, and I layered a pearl spray in between them for a softer look.  The next layers are a little tricky, they are the Rectangle Horizon Boutique in the smallest size, then to the right you'll see the French Pastry Tiny Doily underneath the Cutie 4 bloom.  Underneath I tucked in the Flourish Leaf Strips that I cut in shades of beige and aqua.

A detail image to show you the dimension and layers.

Off the Page with BoBunny!

Happy Tuesday to you! It's always an exciting day when I get to share my BoBunny projects with you.  Today is one of those days!

Today we are featuring projects that are "Off The Page"!

I love to create home decor pieces or gifts for my friends and family. I've had this decorative shadowbox for a bit and I thought it would be just perfect to showcase some of my favorite elements from The Avenues collection. I prepared it by painting it cream.

I began by choosing my favorite background paper, then added additional elements such as the fussy cut door layered on top of some cheese cloth. The door was attached with foam dots to allow space to layer other elements. 

The flowers are all made from the collections pattern papers. I just love how the various stickers, chipboard, trinkets and jewels all came together for this project.

Mixing it Up with BoBunny!

Happy Tuesday to you!

Today over on the BoBunny Blog we are showcasing a few different ideas of how to mix and match various BoBunny collections. This was really a fun assignment as all of BoBunny's collections work splendidly together!

"Cupcake Love"

For my page, I used some Double Dot cardstock and pattern papers from The Avenues, Woodland Winter and Zip-A-Dee Doodle collections. The fun photos are from a cupcake date that I took our oldest on and as you can see, he more than enjoyed his special treat!

The chipboard arrows are from Woodland Winter, the alpha and love stickers are Zip-A-Dee Doodle.

The chipboard clouds are from Zip-A-Dee Doodle, the bird from The Avenues.  I used quite a bit of Noteworthy items and stickers here. The large Woodland Winter bracket sticker on the left is tucked under some Noteworthy and fussy cut Zip-A-Dee Doodle Collage paper.

I used a glassine bag to hold my ticket from Woodland Winter and also cut one of my little clouds from it.  You'll notice a flag layer of vellum under my flags to the right of the photo strip. I just love how all of the BoBunny collections coordinate so beautifully!!!

BoBunny Supplies:

BoBunny Design Team January Blog Hop

Hi There! Welcome to my stop on the BoBunny January Blog Hop!

Today, we are hopping along featuring our BoBunny blooms, starting and ending at the BoBunny blog. There, you'll see a question listed next to each designer's name. As you hop through to each blog, collect the answer to each question, and then head back to the BoBunny blog to enter all of the answers into a Rafflecopter giveaway.

Want to see what the fabulous prize is?  Check this out - one of our new collections called "Modern Miss" and some Blossoms. It's a prize package worth more than $50! It's seriously awesome!!!

We are featuring the beautiful BoBunny Blossoms for our hop today and I'm excited to share my project with you! I created a home décor canvas that I can't wait to hang in my scrap room.

Believe (6"x12" Canvas)

To begin, I prepped my canvas with Gesso and then misted using a variety of different Tattered Angels mists. I used a few masks and some pearlescent embossing paste as well. The wooden sentiment was painted a light blue and then white crackle paint over the top.

I added some Kraft Wood Gears, papers, trinkets and 12x12 chipboard from The Avenues.

A few details from the side...

I've tucked in our buttons and chipboard under the title. You also see some of the flourishes that I cut and adhered with Mod Podge.

The beautiful Blossoms!  They made this project come alive!  I cut a few leaves and tucked them in behind the flourishes and layers of other flourishes. I folded one in half and tucked it into the letter "B".

And now.. my question for you is…

What's my favorite color to scrap?  Blue!

A Little Love with Cheery Lynn Designs

Happy Monday to you! It's my day to host the blog over at Cheery Lynn Designs and share a project.

I wanted a little break away from the holiday "everything" right now to create an everyday card this week. We always need a card on hand to say we're thinking of someone or simply that we love them.

This is a shaped card featuring our Coved Rectangle stackers.  I just love this pretty shape and the backer here is the scalloped, then the blue-green layer is actually a folded layer.

The hearts here relief cuts from the Heartland America Doily die.  I thought they were pretty layered in with the floral cluster.  The solid heart edges were inked for a bit of definition.

New Release Reveal for Cheery Lynn Designs!

Tuesday greetings to you! Today is a super exciting day for us over at Cheery Lynn Designs, it's New Release Day!

The Design Team has been working with these gorgeous new dies and we are beyond thrilled to share our projects with you. Be sure to stop on over to the Cheery Lynn Designs store for the full reveal!!!

I love how the Cheery Lynn Designs dies are so versatile, you can use them for cards, pages or pretty much any paper crafting project you have. I wanted to use a few of the larger dies so I made a page to share with you for today.

"My Journey" (12x12 page)  

I started with the Horizon French Flair Boutique Stacker, then cut my photo and mat using the French Flair Silver dies to compliment the shape.  Click on the photo to see the amazing detail on the border of the Horizon French Flair Boutique Stacker, it's so beautifully done!

Next, I cut the Daphne Doily with Angel Wings in a nice pretty cream and then cut the Angel Wings from a pretty coral paper for contrast.

The Dripping Butterfly is such a fun die!  I inked mine and then sprayed some Goosebumps on it to create some texture and shimmer.  I love how this turned out!  I cut an Angel Wing from the Small #2 Angel Wing - DL113A to use underneath. You'll see the new pretty Siena Double Edge Border in grey layered here too.

I cut a Tiny Fanciful Flourish from a Glassine Bag and used it under my cream butterfly up above the sweet little Baby's Breath and branch that was created from The Baby's Breath Flower Kit.

The grey flower is the Medium Lollipop Cutie Fringe 3.  I used the Siena Double Edge Border here also and folded it into a circle shape to create a layered flower.

The Hearts 'n Gears (Steampunk Series) is so great for those masculine projects and I really loved it for this page.  I added some sequins in a few places to add some texture, metallic feel and interest.  You'll see a few more Tiny Fanciful Flourishes cut in blue that are tucked in with my florals also.

This is only a very small portion of the New Releases, so be sure you head on over to the Cheery Lynn Designs blog to get a peek at the rest.  You'll love all the inspiration too, the team is so talented!!!

Living the Life with Cheery Lynn Designs

Happy Monday crafty friends!  It's my day to host the blog over at Cheery Lynn Designs.

Today I have a pretty shaped card to share with you.  I love the look and feel of a pretty border don't you?  I started with the French Flair Doily Stacker, cut it from a pretty oatmeal colored card stock, then inked the edges with a Biscotti colored chalk ink. A little touch of ink helps the details pop sometimes!

Our French Flair and French Flair Scalloped dies create the sentiment block.

The charcoal scallop layer is adhered with foam dots as is my sentiment.

My sentiment is fussy cut, then I accented it with the Mini Fanciful Flourish on the left with a few tiny blooms from the Embellishment 2 collection.  The Miniature Rose and Darling Daisies were added on the right side with greenery from the Ivy Strip. Pattern papers used here are The Avenues by BoBunny.

Pinspiration with BoBunny!

Happy Tuesday to you!  I'm very excited to be sharing a project today over on the BoBunny blog!  We were challenged to find an image on Pinterest and create a project inspired from it.

Here is a color board that I loved!

The colors inspired me to create this:

I loved that the colors in this honeymoon photo of my husband and I coordinated so nicely with the Pinterest color board. The Miscellaneous Me sticker sentiment "Today was Amazing" worked perfectly here also.

You'll see quite a few pieces of our Noteworthy items here. After I assembled my design I really wanted to accent the arch at the top so I pierced a border around it.

Don't be afraid to use pieces from your Dimensional Stickers! On this page I have taken just the sentiment piece off of the sticker. The "You & Me" and the "Love" are downsized and worked so nicely on the page.

I love the clock theme that is a strong component in the collection and wanted to add a bit more of it into the page.

Cardstock: Double Dot - Chocolate, Chiffon and Licorice Flourish
Patterned Paper: 14801890, Antique / The Avenues

Mixing It Up - BoBunny Style!

Happy weekend to you!

It's my first official post with BoBunny!  We were assigned the fun challenge to mix a few lines and of course I always love a great challenge!

I decided to work with the all new "Zip-A-Dee Doodle" collection and "The Avenues".  I thought the whimsical feel of Zip-A-Dee Doodle would make for a nice contrast with the elegance of The Avenues.

I started with a circle cutout from the Zig Zag paper, layered it on top of a Medium Doily and added a pretty die cut to it.

My photo is matted with Home paper from The Avenues

A bit of Noteworthy, flourish jewels and dimensional stickers make me happy!

The black and white stripes are a sticker strip, as are the numbers and circles.

The beauty of BoBunny is that even if the collections are a bit different, the papers will still work together so nicely! We can't wait to see what you create when you mix-it-up with BoBunny.

Bo Bunny - The Avenues!

Have you seen the gorgeous new collection "The Avenues" from BoBunny yet?  I have to tell you it is amazing and will quickly become your very favorite!

This collection is full of wonderful patterns and colors that are so extremely versatile! I thought it would be great fun to use it for a boys page.

I used my craft knife to cut the banners in the "My Love" sentiment block from The Avenues 14801901 so I could layer my photo into it.

This photo is of our son playing peek-a-boo while riding on a ferry boat. The splash of pink in the collection really accentuated his rosy little cheeks and I thought it was fun!
