All That Sparkles with Bo Bunny!!



Today's assignment at Bo Bunny was "All that Sparkles"....and rather than doing a layout I thought I would do something different.  I've been working on my oldest DD's room make-over. She's doing dove grey on the walls with these cool white dandelion wall decals over the bed with a cute phrase. The accents are in black and hints of soft yellow. But it's really hard to find yellow accents for her room. So I got thinking about how nice the Enchanted collection is when you want to add a touch of elegance with a single hit of color. Plus! It's shimmery and sparkly! She needed a nice box to keep her chatchka's in so I covered an old teddybear box in the Sparkly Enchanted papers and added the yellow color with the BB blooms, lace and Double Dot paper.
I added an extra bit of sparkle by adding strips of BB jewels in a golden yellow color as well.

Bo Bunny's Layout Challenge! ~ CIRCLES!

My fellow team-mate and dear friend Mireille Divjak got to choose the challenge for the layout challenge this month and her pick was to use circles in your design!  I wanted to use some of the new collections so I went with the new 'Enchanted' collection from Bo Bunny (I love this collection because it is like an open canvas, ready for paints, inks and other mediums to dress them up!)....but for me, when I think circles, I think of 'Timepiece', so I combined these collections for this layout. 

And speaking of timepiece, I immediately thought of the Dusty Attic's Skeleton clock frames to embellish this page (another circle design!).  I took this photo of Chloe when we were at a local Apple festival last month, we were relaxing, taking a break and just watching the crowds walk by.  I see this photo and realize how quickly my little girl is becoming a young lady, I can't believe she is 13 already....where did the years go?

Here are a few close-ups of my page...

The large pink bloom is just a flower from an inexpensive hairband.  The clocks were cut from a Bo Bunny Patterened paper from the Timepiece collection (I just added some Platinum Stickles to dress them up a bit, and attached them with foam pop-dots)

I used a couple of different sizes of the Dusty Attic Skeleton clocks, painted them with some gold paint and dry brushed some turquoise paint on them. 

The pretty black flourish design is from the Bo Bunny 'Enchanted' Chipboard collection. 

TIP:  I like to use these versatile black & white papers in the 'Enchanted' collection by adding just a dash of color (for example using some bright pretty double dot cardstock with the page) ....or like in this case, I used some brown and tan chalk ink to give the page a 'vintage' look.  I added a little mauvey pink chalk ink in a few places coming out behind my photo to add a little more subtle color.  You can adhere the chalk ink with either a make-up sponge for a subtle effect or use the Tim Holtz alcohol ink applicator/and pad to apply the colors (working from the outside edges in).
