Itsy Bitsy Teeny Weeny Yellow Polka Dot Bikini

Bet I got your attention with that title...:)  Today is National Scrapbooking Day and my wonderful husband made time for me to have a few daytime hours to create!  Here's the layout I created.

Lucy's dance number for her recital last year was "The Itsy Bitsy..."  Thus the silly title.  One of the challenges over on American Crafts today was to combine thickers and letter stickers.  I took that challenge for this.  Between the sunburst and the title, I didn't need to add a whole lot to finish off the page.  I did add a couple of little words from SRM Stickers to my photo collages and some enamel dots.  Beyond that just a little doodling and I was done.  I hope you got a little time to create today too!  

Supplies Used:

Letter Stickers: Bella Blvd

Thickers: American Crafts

Stickers: SRM Stickers

Patterned Paper: Pebbles

Enamel Dots: Bo Bunny

Feather Card

Today I thought I would share another card that I created for the Paper Crafts supply savvy call.  It didn't make the cut for general craft items...but it makes me smile :)

I layered feather on top of feather and just kept doing that until I had a nice pile that reminded me of a boa.  I glued those down onto a skinny scrap paper.  The bakers twine was the perfect touch to hold the whole pile together and draw in a little more gray.  As I was sitting and make it, I kept thinking "fab" this is just "fab" so that was what I went with for my sentiment!  My little Lucy is especially fond of this card!

Supplies Used:

Patterned Paper: GCD Studios & Pebbles

Stickers: GCD Studios

Enamel Dots: Bo Bunny

Twine: The Twinery

Party of 6 - Bo Bunny "Family Is" line

Today I have another layout to share using the Family Is collection from Bo Bunny!  Love the navy in this line and decided to really pull that out for this one!

As I was playing with the blues/greens/whites I felt like I needed another color to add some pop.  That is where the coral color came in.  I decided to use it to frame the whole thing as well as in embellishing.  There are so many fun things about this collection but I think one of my favorites was the cute patterned paper that was full of polaroids with sweet phrases and patterns.  

This was one of our first family pictures as a family of 6 - hard to believe that was six months ago!

Supplies Used:

Everything is from Bo Bunny!

Bo Bunny "Family Is" Layout

This month I got to work with "Family is" from Bo Bunny for The Scrapbooking Studio.  It is such a fun, eclectic line!  I love the colors of it and all the sassy sayings it brings in.  This first layout that I am going to share is out of my normal style, but I had a lot of fun playing around with techniques and fussy cutting on it!

The paper I used consisted entirely of speech bubbles.  I wanted to find a fun way to use it but also incorporate a place for a title and some white space.  So I trimmed out a few areas with my paper trimmer and backed it with red cardstock.  I rounded a bunch of corners to add some visual interest.  I fussy cut some of the blank speech bubbles out and then added a picture of each family member to it.  I then doodled a black outline to draw more attention to them as well as adding buttons and wood pieces for dimension. Ended up being a kinda fun and funky look!

Supplies Used: Bo Bunny paper

April Cards Class: Isabella by BoBunny Quilted Cards

Since my last class of Quilted Cards went so well and there were requests for more, I decided to do another class with a similar theme!  This time I use some similar techniques and add a few more new ones in too!  Here's the cards I will be teaching on Thursday, April 11th at The Scrapbooking Studio in Bloomington.

I used the Isabella line from BoBunny and just adore the color combination in it!  If you are in the Bloomington area I'd love to have you join me!

Winter Layout for Practical Scrappers

I created this one for fun to add to the Practical Scrappers winter feature last week.  I have had these BoBunny winter papers since last year but hadn't used them.  I'm finding I am more of a seasonal scrapper - like if it's cold then I want to do cold not a beach layout :).  Anyway it was the perfect time to pull them back out!  I also added some Momenta letter stickers and Momenta die cuts (borders and journaling spot) and of course some bakers twine :)

Kicking things off at Lucky Girl Crafts

I shared how excited I was to get to play with the August kit from Lucky Girl Crafts and get my design team post rolling.  Today over at the blog we're sharing a project that showcases our five favorite products from the kit.  Now let's be honest, I had a hard time picking out just five!  I always go for all my favorites first...so I had to hold back a little bit :)  First up here's what the kit looks like:

I am not usually a card maker.  But as I was working with this kit, I was lacking time and inspiration.  It has been a really long, stressful couple weeks for me!  So having completed four layouts and having an idea for this card I went that route!  It incorporates two of my favorite supplies right now...my little flower punch and bakers twine.  I don't think it took much more than five minutes to make this...it helps that I had the idea in my head already...but wow stickers make things sooo fast!

supplies used: crate paper, flower punch, bakers twine, bobunny cardstock
