Bo Bunny Secret Garden Shaker Tags ~ FotoBella DT

     Shake things up with these elegant vellum shaker tags made from Bo Bunny's Secret Garden I Want It All Bundle @ FotoBella!

     The tags are cut from the papers from the 12 X 12 Collection Pack and the Ephemera, and measure 5 1/2" X 3 1/2",  making them the perfect size to fit the vellum foil pieces. But first I punched holes on the tops, and finished the edges with Ranger Silver Embossing Powder. Using fibers from my own stash I tied them off through the holes. 

     After adding some glitter pieces to the centers of the tags, I ran a glue stick around 1/2" of the vellum pieces, and glued them in place. Then I machine-stitched around the vellum, so the glitter doesn't escape, and attached a Brad to the top center right below the punched hole.

     I used some more of my fibers to string through the banner Buttons, as well as the bird one on this purple tag.

     To finish them off, I added some of the word stickers that come in the 12 X 12 Collection Pack.

Bo Bunny Secret Garden Layout ~ FotoBella DT

     Bo Bunny's Secret Garden I Want It All Bundle from FotoBella isn't just for Spring and Easter projects, like I've mentioned before. I created this special memorial page of a friend who passed away a few years ago, and love that the papers and colors actually match her outfit!

   
          By using the left side of this sketch from Let's Scrap Sketches, I was able to showcase some of the beautiful papers that come in the 12 X 12 Collection Pack, along with some from the Ephemera, creating a quilt design made from 1 1/2" squares!

     All of my paper edges were distressed with the Tim Holtz Paper Distresser, and finished with machine stitching. In the center of my squares, I added various Buttons and Brads, along with some from the Ephemera, like the ones in my flower centers, which also come in the Ephemera, and were colored with Blueprint Sketch and Dusty Concord Distress Inks.

      The bottom left side of the page was sprayed with some blue and silver LSG sprays, before adding the purple Chipboard flourish. To make the title I used the alpha stickers that come in the 12 X 12 Collection Pack to spell "REMEMBERING", and masked "ROXANE" using the Tim Holtz Cargo Alphabet Stencil with Distress Inks (Blueprint Sketch and Seedless Preserves).

Thanks for looking, and have a great day!

Bo Bunny Secret Garden 2 Pager ~ FotoBella DT

     The gorgeous new Bo Bunny Secret Garden I Want It All Bundle from FotoBella was everything and more than I needed, to make this 2 pager from some landscape photos of one of my favorite spots, right down the road from where I lived in Truckee, CA!

     I was instantly inspired by this sketch for the March 2 Page Sketch Challenge @ Scrapbook, as it's been awhile since I've done a 2 pager!

     Since the 12 X 12 Collection Pack comes with 2 sheets of each design, making it easy to create a 2 pager, I started with 2 of the "Vineyard" papers for my background. To mimic the field of flowers, I started by spraying the top border with green sprays. Then I added some sprays to some Prima Clear Gesso, and applied it with the Tim Holtz Dot Fade Stencil. From the "Corsage" paper I fussy-cut the flower clusters, and added 3 of them to my pages. To tie the 2 pagers together I cut the floral garland Chipboard, and placed it over 3 of my photos. I also brought the pages together with a strip of the purple ribbon that comes in the Ephemera. 

      All of the titlework and banner with the date, was done with the stickers that come in the 12 X 12 Collection Pack. I added another piece of chipboard to the left of "Still", and under "Spring" I added the green and purple bracket from the Layered Chipboard, using the rose banner piece on the right side of the page. 

     The papers matting the photo, banner date, and "Spring" all come from the Ephemera, and along with all of the other papers were distressed along the edges and machine-stitched. To the banner with the date, I added a couple of Brads.
