a HAPPY BIRTHDAY mini

Here's a quick little mini I made of Isabel's first birthday. It was so quick because of the pre-decorated Bo Bunny mini Surprise! album. Coordinating backgrounds are on each page of the mini (front and back) so you don't have to cover each page. Love that! Such a time saver! I also used Surprise! papers, stickers, chipboard and jewels.

 

A close up of the cover. I used chipboard and buttons to create the banner.

The holes for the binder clips are supposed to be on top so it flips, but I didn't like that so I punched holes in the side instead. That's why the little holes are in top. 

 

And the back cover....

 



Thanks for visiting! 

How do you define....?

Bo Bunny is using definitions on layouts today! It could be any definition anywhere. Some of the designers chose to put the definition in the title and others as their background. I used my definition in my journaling. I tried to make my journaling look like a definition from a dictionary. Thanks to Merriam Webster online for the actual definition! The examples are all mine :)

 

 

That's my sweet Isabel playing at the beach last summer. She is our little fishy! She loves the water and splashing around. This is her signature "Sea Turtle" pose. That's what she calls it when she swims on her stomach. I think she has been watching too much Dora and Diego!

 

I used Bo Bunny Key Lime  (sounds as yummy as it looks!) papers and embellishments and the Cricut Create A Critter cartridge for my title.

 

I also used American Crafts twine, Staz On ink and an old Heidi Swapp chipboard heart I found at the bottom of my bag. Some may call it fate I found that heart just at that time :)

 

Here's some close ups...

Still celebrating Father's Day

Last week on the Bo Bunny blog we were celebrating Father's Day. Father's Day was the Sunday before and there are plenty of ideas for you to scrap all those pictures you took!

 

I chose to use the new Bo Bunny collection Trail Mix for my layout of my little Isabel and her daddy. She is definitely a daddy's girl!

 

 

I used the Cricut Songbird cartridge to cut my title and mixed and matched some older Bo Bunny stickers to finish it.

 

Thanks for coming by and tomorrow I will have a layout using Key Lime to share!

 

 

 

Last day of the Bo Bunny & Xyron Blog Swap

 

It's the last day of the Xyron and Bo Bunny blog swap and there's lots of inspiration to end the week!

 

Tuesday I created a layout of my dear little Isabel using Bo Bunny's new collection Trail Mix. Today I have a layout of Isabel a little older and her sister Fran using Bo Bunny's new collection Anthem.

 

 

I used the Xyron Mega Runner and the little Create a Sticker machine to complete this layout. I love the create a sticker for the small little Noteworthy Die Cuts that the Mega Runner is to big for.

 

Here is a close up of the banner I created from the Anthem 12x12 chipboard. I adhered the chipboard banner pieces then adhered some other various shapes on top and added some bling and twine to finish it.

 

And I am loving the new doilies! I never thought I would be a doilies kind of girl, BUT can these be any more perfect for Fourth of July? The pattern reminds me of those old fashioned Fourth of July posters.

 

 

I hope you enjoyed the swap! I should have been your last stop, but if you haven't made your around yet also check out Juliana's Blog, Robbie's Blog, the Bo Bunny Blog and the Xyron blog for more inspiration.

 

And don't forget the prizes! Leave a comment on all the blogs and one winner will be chosen from EACH BLOG (yes that's right! multiple winners!) to win one of the new collections of their choice. The hardest part will be deciding which one to pick!

And here's some new Bo Bunny fresh out of the box! I used the brand brand new (not even stores yet, new) TRAIL MIX collection. I used the flowers, trinkets and jewels to girly up this kind of manly collection.

For this layout the Bo Bunny Design team used the Snow Day collection, but it had to be on a non-winter layout. Here is what I came up with....

 

I did add a little Love Letters, but I couldn't resist. I do LOVE pink! And hearts!

Cricut Magazine

I am back! I haven't done back to back blog posts in forever!

 

Today I am sharing two projects that were posted in Cricut Magazine and Cricut Idea Book Kids. I used the Create A Critter cartridge on both layouts. My favorite cartridge!

 

The first I created with Nikki Sivils' "It's Raining, It's Pouring" collection.

 

On this one I used Bo Bunny "Zoology".

 

I'm back with some new projects...

I am back with a new project. It may be a little late, but here it is!

 

I created this layout last week with Bo Bunny Apple Cider. This layout is based on a sketch by Juliana Michaels, another Bo Bunny DT member.

 

thanks for coming by!

 

I'm back with some new projects!

wow, wow, wow, I have been BUSY! So much to do and unfortunately all my projects usually get pushed to the end of my list :(

 

But I was busy the last couple of weeks with these projects that I have to share with you today.

 

The first is a a little book I made for my little girl who is starting her second year of pre-school!

 

It is a spelling book to help her start spelling. I used the Nikki Sivils "School is Cool" line for the book.

 

 

 

 

I used 26 8 x 5 lined index cards and trimmed them to 2.67 inches and then wrote the alphabet on the three sets. I trimmed a piece of cardstock to 8 x5 (two pieces) for the front ad back covers and then hole punched the whole thing.

 

Next I created a gift card holder also using "School is Cool". I adhered the gift card to the card using glue dots. They are very easy to peel of the gift card when it is removed!

 

 

 

Next up is some Bo Bunny! Bo Bunny had a recipe challeng to use the followng supplies or less on a layout-

 

three sheets patterend paper

1 sticker sheet

1 package of embellishments

1 sheet of cardstock.

 

Here's what I came up with...

 

 

I used the Camp-A-Lot papers, chipboard and stickers to create my layout.

 

Thanks for coming by! I'll try to be back soon with more projects!
