Bo Bunny Card Challenge

Bo Bunny's Card challenge this month is to make a masculine card.  Well since it was Father's Day, I made this card for my Daddy.  And of course, I do think he is the best dad in the world!

Bo Bunny Sketch Challenge

 

I had so much fun today playing along with the Bo Bunny Sketch for June, and just thought I would share it with you.  This is a photo of my parents taken a few years ago, at a family trip to Mount Mitchell.  My parents are so sweet and the most amazing role models anyone could ask for.

Thanks for stopping by today!

Xyron and Epiphany Crafts - Day Four Blog Hop

It's so much fun when two awesome companies pair up to bring you a week of inspiration - and this week Xyron and Epiphany Crafts have teamed up.  Be sure to check out the blogs for more inspiration and giveaways.

I've come up with a 3-in-1 Box to share with you today.  You may ask, what do you mean, 3-in-1?  Well, at first glance you see a single project....but the sliding lid to this box is actually, a tag.

And inside this little box, is tucked an adorable mini album. 

 

So here is the whole set shown together.  I think this will be a perfect idea to use anytime I need to put together a little gift for someone.

Where Does Your Inspiration Come From?

I think that creative people are always inspired by everything they come into contact with.  I know I certainly am.  When I looked at the gorgeous flowers on this patterned paper, I wanted to see if  I could recreate one with my dies and paper.

It's really fun to get creative in your paper gardens, and see what you can come up with combining the dies.

Xyron and Bo Bunny Blog Hop Day 2

Welcome to Day 2 of the Xyron and Bo Bunny hop!  To find out all of the details, please visit the Bo Bunny and Ain't She Crafty Blog to see a full list of each day's participants and to find out how to win some awesome prizes!

I worked with the Bo Bunny Key Lime papers, and decided to make a beach-themed plaque.  It's already got me in the mood for summer.

     

 Take chipboard letters, turn them upside down and run through Xyron 5” Creative Station.

  

 

 Press the adhesive coated paper firmly on the letters, remove the backing, and place on the        wrong side of patterned paper.

    

                                                      

      Trim the letters as close as possible with the scissors.  Use a hole punch to help start the holes in the enclosed areas.   Use a file along the chipboard to finish neatly.  

                                                       

Measure the wooden plaque, and cut patterned paper to size.  Run through the Xyron 5” Creative Station, and apply to plaque.

 

                                                                                           

     Stamp image onto lightly patterned paper.  Apply adhesive and add to plaque.    Use DIY Foam Adhesive to attach chevron banner.    Glue paper covered chipboard letters to the banner.

4   Make a paper Hibiscus or other tropical flower.  Glue to the plaque.  Cluster Bo Bunny Trinkets around the flower.
