Bo Bunny's Sweet 'Apple Cider' Collection!

When I first saw this sweet collection by Bo Bunny, I just knew that I had to scrap this photo I took of my youngest daughter Meagan when she was just a baby.  I had made a calendar to send some of my relatives in Europe, and as you can guess, this was the pic I took for October.  I didn't have a digital camera back then so you can imagaine how many shots I had to take with my regular camera just to get a few nice shots, ...whew! babies are not easy to photograph, they are constantly moving and trying to eat everything within their reach! lol!

I used a few of the new Bo Bunny Blooms mixed with some lovely corner flourishes from Dusty Attic (Corner Flourish #3) and some pieces of Dusty Attic Chicken Wire Panel to embellish the page. 

Supplies:

Patterned Paper: Apple Cider (Both sides of Apple Cider Paper)

Cardstock: Wildberry Double Dot, Clover Double Dot

Stickers: Apple Cider Combo Stickers, Apple Cider Dimensional Stickers

Alphabet Stickers: Apple Cider, Serenade

Flowers: Bo Bunny Buttercup Daisy, Wildberry Daisy

Lace: Clover

Other: Burlap, Dusty Attic chipboard  

 

No fancy new techniques today, just sharing a pretty new collection I used :)  Hope everyone has a beautiful fall weekend....is this the weekend we change back the clock?

Bo Bunny's Blooms, Blooms and MORE Blooms!!

So a few weeks back I got my design team box from Bo Bunny.  I'm always excited to rip this box open and yep! this was the view right at the top of the box!  All the newest Bo Bunny blooms!!!!  I am super excited that Bo Bunny is now making blooms to coordinate with their beautiful collections!  And they are not some simple blooms!  They are layered, embossed, crochetted, blinged up and have a lovely color graduation....blooms that I'm so excited to start using in my layouts!   

For this layout I wanted to use a variety of the blooms, everything from the paper blooms, crochetted blooms, tattered fabric and ribbon blooms.  I really love the gentle greens in these blooms so I chose some papers from the Bo Bunny's New Apple Cider collection and then added some coordinating cardstock.

TIP:  Choosing a limited or monochromatic color base helps make a layout look more cohesive and 'put together'. Here I chose a couple of the patterned papers from the Apple Cider collection that had the soft greens/yellows in them and added in a piece of Double dot paper in a neutral tone (Almond Dot). Then I chose my floral embellishments in the same shades (greens/butter yellows). I find this also helps me when chosing what embellishments to use on a page. 

Here's a close-up look at the blooms, I'm just loving the center gem in the tattered green bloom! 

TIP:  I created a unique title by using a word stamp "Cherish" (this is an old Heidi Swapp stamp I had)....then I used a complimentary color of DMC floss to hand stitch over the stamped lines to create a hand-stitched title. 

I also used a couple of Dusty Attic chippies to dress up this page, the Vine Border, the Chicken Wire Panel and the new Bird Houses.  Here is a full list of the products I used on this page....
