More Bo Bunny to Share

Hey Everybody! Happy Monday to you all!
It was a hot one here today and that reminded I had some fun projects yet to share using the wonderful Sun Kissed line by Bo Bunny, the featured manufacturer this month at A Walk Down Memory Lane. This is such a delightful line for all those hot days of summer photos.

Chillin' Out


This paper was perfect for these shots of DD when she was in preschool right down to the sprinkler, which I cut out.

Some Close Ups


I really like to use clouds for journaling, I think it is great way to get some thoughts onto a page. For the sun rays I used some Pearl Ex to add a bit of simmer and to enhance the color already there.

I wish this picture of my bling-o-liscious sprinkler would have turned out better. It's my favorite part of the LO!

Here are a couple cards I made using the scraps from this LO.

Hi

C is for Clouds!

I just adore using clouds, I think they are soo cute on projects and there are so many things you can do with them to make them look different and fresh when you use them. There are a ton of fabulous cloud cards floating around the My Sketch World gallery and thread for the C challenge and it is really cool to see how everyone is using them.

Get Well

I really love the bright colors of the Bo Bunny Sun Kissed line! They just make me happy so I thought they were perfect for a Get Well card! Remember Bo Bunny is this month's featured manufacturer at A Walk Down Memory Lane so be sure to head on over there to receive 25% off all the goodies. And as a bonus Lisa is running an extra 15% off to get ready for all the CHA goodies that will arrive!

Some Close Ups





I was really proud that I actually did the inside of this one as well. More and more I am getting into the habit of doing this and it just adds such a nice touch. DH just sent this card out yesterday to one of clients. She fell out of a tree, broke her leg and crushed her ankle. Needless to say we thought she could use some cheering up! Hope this does this trick.

Thanks for visiting me today! I love knowing I have guests and appreciate you taking time to come and share in my scrappy adventures! Have a super day and Happy Scrappin'! ~ Scarlett

It's August Already?!!

It is really hard to believe just how fast the summer has flown by and here we are in August. Can't believe we will be gearing up for back-to-school before we know it! Although it seems sad that the 1st of August would mark this, there are some wonderful things August has brought about as well.

The 1st of the month means there is a new featured manufacturer this month at A Walk Down Memory Lane!! WooHoo, right?! This month you will delight in receiving 25% off Bo Bunny products in the store. I had a really great time working with Block Party, Peacock Lane , and Sun Kissed. I created up a storm so I will share a few things with you today.

Storytime

I must say this is my favorite!! I cannot believe how much fun it was to create with this line and I think the colors worked so wonderfully for this subject, not to mention they matched my DDs outfit! Gotta love that. I was a little leery of the purple, but I am thinking I need to use this color a lot more often, or at least keep using up the rest of what I have from this line.

Closeups

For the butterfly I used a chipboard piece and just traced it onto the patterned paper and cut two out. Then I layered them and added the circles to the top with a small circle punch. The top half circles were made by punching out a circle cutting it in half, fringe cutting along the edge, and then rolling.

I just love these roses and look for the opportunity to use them all the time. The leaf was made with cream colored burlap and then I dabbed it with some Ranger paint, available in the store, and I must say these are about the best little painter thingies I have ever used! You should totally give them a try!

Full Speed Ahead

I used lots of Bo Bunny bling and the double dot ribbon on this LO! I totally lucked out once again by having these fabulous papers match the swim trunks my DS is wearing! Just love the down home American feel to this line.

And last, but certainly not least, my reveal for My Sketch World's August 1st card sketch!! Yep, I did double duty this month by using up some delightful Sun Kissed scraps with Miss Lucy Chesna's rockin' sketch and came up with this:
Summer Lovin' ATC

I have scrapped this photo many time, many ways because I love it! DH and I definitely need to get a new shot this summer together before it slips away.

Well, that's it for now. I will be back with a couple cards for you to see in a few days. I have a lot of back blogging to do and I am really hoping I can get some of that done and share with you all what I have been up to.

Be sure to head on over to the DT blog so you can see all the yumminess created by the DT this month with Bo Bunny!

You should also be sure to stop by the AWDML store, so you can take advantage of the 25% discount being offered on this month's featured manufacturers - Hero Arts and Fancy Pants. I just love both companies and had a lot of fun working with some love themed stamps from Hero Arts. I have loaded up oodles of projects to the gallery. Here are a few of my creations that can be found there.

Valentine Treat Bag



I made this for DH using scraps of Fancy Pants papers I had, Hero Arts stamps, and my Martha Stewart border punch. The clip is from MM and the tag and rick rack were in my stash.

{Hoo} Loves U - Love Tin coupon holder



Isn't this just the cutest little thing??! This was another valentine's Day present my DH received. I used an altoid tin from the store, cut the heart from a scrap of Fancy Pants, used scraps of Dream Street, and the little owl is a Hero Arts stamp I cut out.

Cards in tin:



Fronts of cards:




The fronts of the cards share some of the reasons I love my DH. I used Dream Street papers, Maya Road sheer journaling tags, and Little Yellow Bicycle stickers.

Backs of Cards:



The backs of the cards give my DH coupons for fun things like a back run, ice cream, relaxing bubble bath, etc.

He adored his little tin, more than I thought!!! He just kept looking at it saying this is just the cutest little thing! He hasn't cashed in on any of the coupons just yet though!

10 Things I Love About You



This was DS's Valentine from me. I actually took off the backing and turned it into a wall hanging for his bulletin board in his room.

I have a few more little cards to share, but I will come back a bit later with those! Hope you all are having wonderful Saturdays.

What's Been Up?!?

It's been awhile since I updated everyone on what's been going on in my scrappy world. First some insight into my non-scrappy world to put things in some perspective. As you may have noticed, I added a banner to my blog saying I Dream of a Cure Lupus Awareness. I am a lupus patient and struggle with this daily. Lately, however there has been other medical issues plaguing me and we can't seem to figure out what in the heck is going on. I have a lot of pain in my spine and killer headaches all the time! I finally am on a pain med tat seems to help, but I feel a bit goofy on it..... I don't do pain meds well at all! So, anyhoo.... long story short, I have been pretty ill and am just trying to make it through each day with prayer, a positive attitude, and wonderful family and friends!

Now, onto my scrappy world news!! I have lots and just am blessed to be blowing all this gas at once!!! So, please don't mind if I toot a bit before I share what I have been creating! I'll start with my most recent news and work back.....

I just found out this past week that I made the DT for A Walk Down Memory Lane!!!! Aaaahhhh! How exciting is that??! I was on pins and needles, as it took an extra day for the announcement. Lisa, the owner of the store, was getting her and her family ready to head for CHA, so understandable, but nerve wracking!!!! LOL!! I am soo excited and just can't wait to find out more details and get more active over there! Heck, I need to figure out how to get a blinkie and my picture on the forum!!

My first big project for Scrapbook News and Review magazine was just completed, so be on the lookout for a blog post of when that's available!! :0)

I am pleased to announce I will be returning to My Sketch World as a designer!! WaHoo!! I love my gurls there.... it is one big family! This time around I will be designing cards so that should be fun since they seem to be my latest scrappy obsession! Again, this is another site I have to update a blinkie from!! You should go and check out the new look if you haven't seen it yet!

Just a couple more....promise, ..... hang in there with me! ;0)

Let's Scrap has welcomed me back as a contributing DT member!! This is the first scrappy community I became a part of and I love it! All the gals there are super and so are the sketches! I am thankful to Cheri and the core team for their understanding of my illness and the constraints it can out on me at times. Being able to do what I can when I can will make it soo much easier to stay active there!! :0)

February will prove to be such a fun month of new beginnings for me.... throw in a GDT spot at The Little Shabby Box and Twisted Sketches and I am one happy scrapper!

Thanks for letting me toot!!

Now on to some scrappy goodness........

i have been extremely busy when my health has allowed craftin' away. Some projects are top secret and I'd have to kill you is I shared!!! LOL! But here are a couple of things to get me back in the swing of sharing!

Baby Love




This is my friend's baby girl.... isn't she a cutie pie! This line from BoBunny was perfect for this!

Close Up:



I can't wait to give this to her this week!

And here's a card:



I love this line from Cosmo Cricket so I couldn't resist picking it up from my LSS that is moving soon! Gotta love clearance!! I must get to her store before she is out at the end of the week!!

Close Up:



The buttons are from Foof-a-laa and the pearls are Queen Ann & Co.

I'll be back tomorrow with my last reveal for my first term at Let's Scrap.... it should be a cool one.... need to go finish! ;0)

365 Cards - Day 305.... just a bit late!

Even though this is being posted late..... I really like what I came up with for this challenge! Again it stretched me out of my comfort zone!!!

Day 305 - Divide and Conquer - The idea was to create 4 equal quadrants on your card.... but of course there was a catch. Each quadrant had to contain a certain thing. The requirements were: 1 stamped sentiment, 1 punched item, 1 floral bellie, and 1 rhinestone..... and you couldn't overlap anything!

Here's my card:
