Love this Boy Mixed Media Layout - BoBunny Believe Collection

Hello Everyone

I am just about to turn in for the night and quickly just posting this project.

I am sitting here and can feel the chill in my feet....winter is on it's way!!!

So today I have a mixed media layout, using the gorgeous and special Believe Collection.

This really is a fabulous collection and you should check it out.

My son had been eating a red ice lolly and then fairly soon thereafter, fell asleep in the lounge chair.

This was about about 2 years ago.  I had to take a photo of this red lipped, little boy, fast asleep. LOL

Here's some of the close-ups.

I really had so much fun with this collection that the very next project was also created with this collection.  I will share that one shortly.

In the meantime, have yourself a good evening!

Thanks for the visit.

Easter Goodie Bags - BoBunny

Hello Everyone

I hope that you had a blessed Easter Sunday yesterday.

We had a really lovely day, filled with family, love and lots of Easter blessings.

I made some goodie bags and gifts for Easter for my family and used lots of BoBunny goodness.

We had come home from being away for 2 days and so I really only had very limited time yesterday morning to put these goodie bags and gifts together.  So I can honestly tell you that these took about an hour to put together.

For the goodie bags I used some Juliet party bags and then stamped on the bags.

The butterflies were also stamped and fussy cut.

The chocolate bars were wrapped in BoBunny decoupage paper, with some ribbon and a stamped Happy Easter label.

These were gladly and warmly received, so I was pleased with that.

Yesterday morning the kids and us also painted some boiled eggs, in the Easter spirit, and so thought I would share these with you too! ;-)

We really did have a lot of fun making these up.

Thanks so much for stopping by my blog today!

I hope you have a fabulous Monday!

Decoupage Mini Album - Berry71Bleu March Challenge

Hello Everyone

I am up on the Berry71Bleu blog at the moment, with a decoupaged mini album.

This is for the March Mood Board, which is really so gorgeous! ;-)

It is also doubling up as a birthday gift for my sister, as it is her special day is next week.

The colouring from the mood board, was my biggest inspiration, along with the gorgeous flowers.

So here is the cover.

I used the gorgeous new, decoupage paper from BoBunny from the Soiree collection with copious amounts of heavy gel medium and some gesso, paint and inks.

The cover elements are also from the beautiful Soiree Collection.

Here's a look at the back cover too.

If you want to the see the inside pages, then you please need to pop over here to the Berry71Bleu blog! ;-)

I love how this album turned out and I hope that my sister will love it too!

I hope you have a super evening!
