Bo Bunny - Love & Lace. Mini Album


We celebrated our 30th wedding anniversary recently, just about the time I received my DT kit from Jill.  When I saw the Bo Bunny Love and Lace collection I knew it would be perfect for making a little album to put some of our photos in.  A little reminder of happy times spent together.








It was very easy to make - I used a pre-designed Silhouette file (check it out on my blog).

Products used:
1 piece of red and 1 piece of black cardstock.

Take Time with Bo Bunny Secret Garden

Hello, hello - Karen here with a quick page I made using Bo Bunny Secret Garden.



When I saw the papers that Jill sent me this month I was delighted as they were all shades of purple, which I love. I knew when I saw the circle paper that I wanted to make a Silhouette cutting file to use with it.  I made the cut circles correspond with the size of the printed circles on the paper and originally had them going from top to bottom but didn't like it.  As soon as I turned it so the circles were horizontal my opinion changed.  I have to admit that I like horizontal lines better than vertical ones.

All that needed to be added to the page were a few stickers and buttons, a photo and some gems.  A quick page from two pieces of card, one sheet of paper, the button pack and sticker sheet.

We're going places with Simple Stories


I love this map paper from the new Simple Stories You are Here papers.  We are embarking on an exciting holiday this summer so I thought this could be the start page to my album and I used it to mark on some of the places we will visit along with a shot of all the books we are looking at and getting ideas from.  I love that the colours of this range and summer vibes work really well together and you can mix and match bits in so easily.

March 2016 Virtual Crop - Class 3 - Katherine Sutton


Welcome to the 3rd class of the day, using the beautiful Crate Paper Confetti papers and some pockets too.  We make 3 pages, I do cut the paper sparingly to achieve this, but it is possible.  There is also a messy page in the middle if you would like to have a go at that using gesso and yellow water colour ink or yellow distress ink - though you could change the colour to fit with the photo as the papers are fairly neutral.  The final page uses up all the other bits of paper and has lots of little photos.




Do share your photos with us in Facebook group as we love to see them.


March 2016 Virtual Crop - Class 2 with Jane

Hello everyone...I'm back with another Graphic 45 project and if you got the By the Sea kit you can copy my book exactly...or do your own twist on it. But even if you're playing along with your own papers you can make a version of this book because it's more about the construction rather than the papers really. This was inspired by the folio albums now available from Tim Holtz - but they are quite pricey so I thought - I'll make my own version!
The finished book (minus photos) looks like this...





But I think you might get a better impression of the book by seeing it in action so here's a quick video of it...


Instructions can be found  HERE, download for free and off you go!.

Katherine is up next at 2pm with your third class of the day. Happy crafting!

Good morning, I hope you have all been enjoying Ann's Fab Four challenge :)

First class of the day is with me. I loved the papers in this class, the colours are lovely and the gold foiled elements add a little bit of sparkle without being too over powering. I really enjoyed making these layouts so I hope you also enjoy the class.







As always, free downloadable instructions for the layouts can be found here.

Join us for the next class which is a fantastic mini album with Jane at midday.
