Angels & Love Birds

First off today, I want to share with you a card I made recently using Bo Bunny's Love Bandit line! I have had so much fun playing with this line and I have a couple more projects that I will be sharing with you later this month!
I also wanted to share with you that Bo Bunny is making Tuesday's Card Challenge Day! On the first and third Tuesday of every month, you will be able to look forward to a new challenge! We will be having sketches, color challenges, themes and much more! And to make it even better, by joining in the fun you will have a chance at winning some goodies!

We posted our first challenge this past Tuesday, using a sketch that I created. Stop by the Bo Bunny blog for more information and inspiration from the other members of the DT. This challenges is open until February 13th, so get scrapping! Here is the sketch...
Well, it is no secret to anyone that really knows me, that I LOVE Jillibean Soup! I am so excited about all of their new releases and I can not wait to get my hands on them!!! Meanwhile, I have been playing with some of the papers from their last release and created this adorable little flower pot angel! I was completely inspired by one created by my friend and fellow Bo Bunny designer, Patti Milazzo. She created one and as soon as I saw it, I knew I had to make one! I made this one for my mom for her recent birthday and she totally loved it!
I am pumped about winning a free bottle of Shimmerz Vibez! It totally made me do that happy dance when Stacey told me I won a bottle! Thanks so much Stacey!!!!

I also have some other exciting news, but I have to wait a bit before I can share! Oh, such a tease! LOL!!!

Thanks for stopping by! Hope you have had a fabulous week and I hope you have an even better weekend!
Anyone doing anything fun this weekend????

CHA faves!

We all have them, so I know I am not alone. I thought it might be fun to put together some of my faves together in one place so that I can have a place to refer back to them for shopping purposes in the near future! LOL!!!

I am definitely loving all the new lines from Bo Bunny! I think my favorite line is Sophie! The colors are just so amazing and the swirls and flowers just make me giddy! But, of course that is definitely subject to change once I get them in my hands! I am also really excited about all the new embellishments...the chipboard stickers, iCandy chipboard stickers and iCandy dimensional stickers!
I am also really excited about all the new embellishments!
And the new chipboard albums and matching papers!
The other two lines I am digging are Mama-razzi (can't help but sing a little Lady Gaga here!!!)and Roughin' It! for all the camping photos, but also the colors...they make me feel warm and happy!

Now onto some of my other faves....

Jillibean Soup...always one of my faves, and this release was no exception. The colors and patterns never disappoint and they have added some new die cut stickers and other embellishments to the lines too. My favorite is Old World Cabbage for sure!

I am also totally loving their new alphas...the style is so classic!

And the new corrugated alphas! Yummy!!!

Oh, I can't forget their new canvas flowers! And even more cool, is their new partnership with Core'dinations Cardstock (along with quite a few other companies like Jenni Bowlin!)!

GCD Studios...I just recently came across Melody Ross's blog. I have known who she was for a long time...from when I first started to scrapbook 12-13 years ago. Chatterbox was one of the first scrapbook companies out there to make products and I still have some of their original tracing templates! LOL! I am so excited to see and follow the new paths and adventures she is going on with her creative abilities and style. Her new lines with GCD Studios are seriously gorgeous and just make me want to play with paper and scissors and glue and my sewing machine!
And her new tool! I can not wait to get my hands on it! It embossed chipboard! Love that!!!
Next favorite has to be Pink Paislee! Seriously, every new release is more amazing than the last one! All of their new embellishments are so amazing! I am particulary loving 365, but Bayberry and Queen Bee are looking quite lovely as well!
Totally loving the new chipboard letters all distressed and houndstoothie! and the ribbon strips! All so yummy!Basic Grey really made me fall in love with them with these 2 lines! Cappella is the line I have been waiting for to do my wedding photos! I have done most of them, but I have not done them all! And you can always do them more then once right?!And this new line! Love how classic this is! Perfect for everything! All you would have to do is add a splash of color and you would get a whole new look!Fancy Pants caught my attention with this line...My Family! I love the colors...and the red!
Some other faves....
Jenni Bowlin...loving these butterflies and her new buttons!
Sassafras Lass... Loving Cherry Delicious!

I am making myself stop there, but I could probably go on and on! I have noticed that I am loving pink, red, blue, turquoise and cream/off white right now! Canvas looks like it is going to be huge and I can not wait to get some of it to play with! Sewing, stitching and hand made goodness are everywhere this year and really make me happy! (Maybe that is because I just got a sewing machine for Christmas! LOL!!!) And flowers, buttons and butterflies...all of these things that make me happy and they look like they are here to stay as well!

So the question for you is...What is on your "must have" list??? We all have one! Don't deny it!!!!

Welcome Winter!

Here is the Bo Bunny project I gave you all a sneak of last week! Our challenge today, was to create a project with a focus on the combo stickers. I choose to use the Snowy Serenade line. This wall hanging was originally a photo frame. I decided to cover the photo opening and create this cute little home decor item instead. My mom thought I should make 3 more...one for each season. Just wish I had thought of that when I bought it to begin with!

(Supplies:Snowy Serenade Serenade,Snowy Serenade Stripe,Snowy Serenade Concerto,Ensemble iCandy Brads,Snowy Serenade Combo Sticker,Gypsy Combo Sticker (swirls),Chunky Chips Alphabet)

Make sure you stop by the Bo Bunny blog to see even more fun and creative ways to use those Bo Bunny combo stickers! You are sure to be inspired!!!

Happy Wednesday!!!! Hope you are having a great week!

Happy Birthday Mom!

This weekend we celebrated my Mom's 65th birthday! She might kill me for sharing that, but I am still having a hard time realizing that she is 65. She doesn't look anywhere near that age to me! I just hope I look that good when I turn 65! We had a wonderful time celebrating her birthday and of course my niece was right in the middle of it all!
I created my version of a flower pot angel as a gift for her, after being inspired to create one by Patti Milazzo. You can see her flower pot angel on the Bo Bunny Blog. When I first saw that angel I knew I wanted to make one for my mom for her birthday! Well she loved it and I love how it turned out! I will try to get some photos soon and post them here to share with you.
Today, Bo Bunny is featuring Love Bandit on their blog! This has to be on of my favorite Valentine themed lines ever! It is just too adorable with all the cute little critters! I created a layout about my niece and her "Punkin"! My mom made it for her to use as a pillow at daycare, but it has never been used for that! To her it was "Punkin" and meant to be hugged and loved, not used as a pillow! I'm telling you, this little girl is something else!!!

(Supplies:Love Bandit Flower Die Cut, Love Bandit, Love Bandit Bee Mine, Love Bandit Whoo Loves You, Love Bandit Tweetheart, Love Bandit Nuts 4 U, Love Bandit Cut Outs, Chunky Chips Alpha Chiffon (covered with patterned paper), Double Dot Cardstock Strawberry and TuTu)

The fun border piece I created from the Love Bandit die cut paper and punched border strip was inspired by a very talented friend of mine....Cindy! When I saw this LO of hers I knew I had to give that border idea a try! Thanks Cindy for the inspiration!!!

Make sure you stop by the Bo Bunny blog for more inspiration using Love Bandit from the rest of the DT!

Happy Monday and thanks for stopping by!
