Design Team Inspiration with Bo Bunny Cambridge

Happy Wednesday! You know what I love about holidays? The week is almost over! Woo-hoo! I'm keeping this post kind-of short today! Grandma and I are headed out to the Southwest Summer Show here in Arizona! It's a re-cap of CHA-Summer for those of us that couldn't make it all the way to Rosemont, IL! I'll be taking some pictures and I may even be bringing in some all new product! So stay-tuned!

Designers Leah Schaeffer and Nanne Harry have been having a ball with the very versatile Bo Bunny Cambridge collection! Take a look:

'Too Cool for School' by Leah Schaeffer



I love the sepia photo of Leah's kids on this layout! What a cool effect... and check out all the detail work she put into this layout!

'Spread your Wings' by Leah Schaeffer



Wow! A lot of detail on this one, too! The corner fold is my favorite! Love all the fussy-cutting and those photos of Scotti! Great work, Leah!!!

Designer Nanne Harry has been busy with this collection as well. Check out this report-card holder that Nanne made completely by hand!

'Report Card Keepsake Box' by Nanne Harry



I love, love, love this keepsake box! Nanne used a cereal box with her Bo Bunny Cambridge papers and a YouTube video template to make this box! Check it out:


If you do a search on YouTube for "photo keepsake box", there will be a ton of them there! I found one and watched the entire thing before I said "Forget it! Too much work!" But, Nanne took on the challenge and made one - from a cereal box! Wow!!!! What a fantastic keepsake!

Don't forget, for more detail on Leah's layouts and Nanne's report card box, be sure to visit their blogs: Leah's Blog and Nanne's Blog.

Don't forget, stay-tuned for updates from the Southwest Summer Show!

Basic Grey, Hero Arts Inspiration and a Giveaway!

It's Friday, it's Friday! Woo-Hoo! The best day of the week!

Today we have some Basic Grey Oliver & Olivia inspiration from Designer Andra Hoffman! Andra has been on vacation for her birthday, but took her scrappy stuff with her so she could create! I always take mine with me, but there is little to no creating going on when I'm on vacation! Take a look at Andra's great layouts:

'GGGKathy and Ella' by Andra Hoffman

Andra used some Basic Grey Olivia papers for this bright and fun layout!

'So Happy' by Andra Hoffman

Andra used some Olivia papers and element stickers for this layout of her dgd. So cute!

'Hugs' by Andra Hoffman

Andra used the Oliver 6x6 Paper Pad for this layout. Way to go, Andra! These layouts are gorgeous! I can't believe that you got 3 done while you were on vacation!

Speaking of Basic Grey Olivia... I created 3 different cards using the same design with the 6x6 Olivia Paper Pad. I love making duplicates of cards! It's so handy to have them around for when you need a quick card for a special occasion! I also used a Hero Arts Cling Stamp and a Copic marker with some other markers. Take a look:

'Good Thoughts' Cards by GenCraft (Floren)







I love how these turned out! Since I used different papers, they look like different cards! I colored all of my little girls' hair dark brown, but you could easily color her hair with different markers on each card. I used the Copic Ciao Marker in Shock Pink to color her dress and used a different marker for the hearts, trim and her shoes.

So, are you ready for your chance to win? I bet you are! Leave us - me and Andra - a comment about our lovely work and you will have a chance to win:


Your very own Basic Grey Olivia 6x6 Paper Pad, Shock Pink Copic Ciao Marker and Hero Arts Little Girl Cling Stamp! Leave your comment by 11:59 pm Monday, September 6. We will have a random drawing and announce the winner on the blog on Tuesday! Good Luck!!!

We will be closed Monday, September 6 for Labor Day. Have a happy and safe holiday weekend!

Back to School Favor Boxes

Happy Thursday everyone! I have to admit I just love those little favor boxes! I have a Sizzix Big Shot Pro machine and I think I have almost all of the little boxes made for it! I just can't help myself! I decided to make some little back to school favor boxes using the very versatile Bo Bunny Double Dot Papers and some Learning Curve embellishments. Take a look:

'Back to School Favor Boxes' by GenCraft (Floren)

I used Bo Bunny Double Dot: Blueberry, Dark Denim, Harvest and Buttercup for my boxes. Those are the perfect school colors! I also used some Learning Curve Noteworthy papers and iCandy Dimensional Stickers. Oh yeah, and some Double Dot Ribbons.


I think this one is my favorite! I used the Harvest paper for the box. The paper is a Learning Curve Noteworthy paper that I tore out of the album and trimmed to fit my box. The apple was one of the bonus die-cuts included in the Noteworthy Album. The 'best teacher' saying is an Imaginisce Snag 'em Stamp.


I used Bo Bunny Double Dot Buttercup for the favor box. Noteworthy and Double Dot papers on the front. The apple is from the iCandy Dimensional Stickers and Double Dot Ribbon.


I love this CD box! I used Blueberry Dot for the box and covered it with the back of Block Party Shindig. I added a Noteworthy paper, some iCandy Dimensional Stickers a button from my stash and Double Dot Ribbon. The bookworm is from the Imaginisce Teacher's Pet collection that I found in my stash as well.

Well, that is all! Thanks for looking at my little boxes! Stay-tuned tomorrow for more design team inspiration as well as inspiration from yours truly! And... a giveaway! What better way to start off the holiday weekend?!

More Bo Bunny Cambridge Inspiration!

Happy Wednesday! Today we have a little more school inspiration for you using the Bo Bunny Cambridge collection! The very talented Nanne Harry has created a fun school layout for us using some of the Cambridge papers and her Cricut. Take a look:

'Knowledge is Power' by Nanne Harry

I absolutely love all of the die-cuts Nanne cut with her Cricut! They were made for this layout! I also like the masculine colors and feel of the Cambridge papers. It can be difficult to find masculine designs, but this collection is perfect. Nanne did an awesome job, as usual!

Stay-tuned for even more school projects, some general stamping inspiration and a giveaway!

Happy Crafting!
