Snow Day! Upcoming Class at Ink About It

Snow Day... We've had 5 so far this winter... We haven't had 5 snow days in the last 8 years combined!!! I'm afraid we'll be going to school til August!! To help take away the fear of 100+ degrees in my classroom this summer :) Here's a fun Snow Day book!!!  At least the dog and kids are having a fun time in the snow!!

This mini-book, using Zutter Cover All's and super-fun BoBunny patterned papers will be taught at Ink About It in Westford on February 17 @ 6:30  Call the store if you want to join us!!!

Easter

Here's a layout that I did recently... My friend Ryan teased me because it uses my QuicKutz Revolution, my new baby bug Cricut, AND my QuicKutz Silhouette :)  It's Die Cutting Overload :) The papers are Bo Bunny... as are the brads :) Orange is my favorite color, and these papers make me oh so happy!!! I still have a ton of this paper, but I've been hoarding it 'cause it's my favorite :) I'll have 3 more layouts to share tomorrow, as I'm dropping them off at The Crop Shop today (they were this month's DT work)

Post this :)

I love making little post it note holders! They make a fun and easy gift for almost any occasion... Here's my latest!  I used 2 coasters, the Zutter owires (I think they're 3/4") and fun Bo Bunny papers that I've been holding on to for a while... I added a couple of ribbon scraps... The tree and alpha are QuicKutz Reuse

Pack Monadnock

We love the mountains!!! (as you can clearly see from MANY of my projects :)  Pack Monadnock is a favorite because you can hike it (it's not too hard, we've done it when the puppy was only 6 months old) and you can also drive up the summit road... for days when we're out in the "race car" or just too lazy to climb but want the "mountain."  Plus, did you check out the family picture?? Thanks so much to the random very nice person who offered to take a family shot for us!!!  I knew they must be OK 'cause they were carrying around their neck the same camera we have :) anyway... Here's a layout that I did last night... I used Bo Bunny patterned paper that I've been hoarding for several years... I'm cleaning out for a scrapbook yard sale and have decided that I REALLY need to use the papers that I love, and not just store them :)  Hence, this layout and the Pinewood Derby one too... Use it or lose it :) The alphas are QuicKutz "Supermarket" a new favorite!! and I think that the small one is "Sticky Note" but I have to double check that one :)

 

Also, trying to hit a goal of make cards with the scraps as you go along, then you always have plenty of cards at your disposal... So, when the layout was finished, here's the card I made with some of the scraps!

New Zutter Project

If you haven't done so recently, check out the Zutter Zisters site, the fabulous Design Team members have beautiful projects posted every month... So much inspiration!!!

Here's a little peek at one of my projects for August... I just love the Cover All's, and the flat spine is my favorite... The beautiful Bo Bunny papers are so easy to work with, the project practically makes itself!!  I used Bo Bunny papers, a few little Robin's Nest Dew Drops on the centers of the flowers, a little bow, and that stamped and colored hummingbird... Testing out my new copic markers :) Inside is cream colored paper for journaling or sketching, or whatever you'd like :)

  

She's All That

Here's the 3rd Bo Bunny project, the Silhouette print and cut shape was released today!! So I can share it... Here's the layout:

 

Love those pretty Bo Bunny papers and the Bo Bunny icandy brads that coordinate!! Made the layout come together so easily!! I used my handy-dandy edge distressor and the title is a print and cut shape from QuicKutz new release... I also used a new-ish butterfly release as well!!

Here's the Silhouette Shapes I used:

3 new projects!

I've been on a crafting-roll!! Here's 3 projects I've just completed, but I can only show you 2 :) The third one (the layout) also features a new QuicKutz shape... I'll post it as soon as the shape is released... They all feature papers by Bo Bunny... You know me... I have a "thing" for pretty patterned papers, and Bo Bunny is among my favorites! They have sneak peeks of the new lines on their blog right now, and they are fabulous!! The Halloween Line has Googly Eyes!! What could be better than that :)

Love this little house, it's a Maya Road chipboard house, covered in the Bo Bunny papers

 

 

Then there's this card... I hand cut various sized "flower" shapes, crinkled and inked them, then made them into the flower... I also cut the word strips from another paper...

and then, the inside of the card...

Another fun Zutter Project!

My DD just LOVES projects for her... She's preschool, and I used Zutter acrylic pockets (cut in half) and put numbers and shapes inside so that she can trace the numbers with a dry-erase marker and then wipe it off :) I used bo-bunny papers, some doodlebug glitter cardstock, and some bazzill cardstock along with some of my favorite quickutz :) THe word "number" and the spelled out numbers are Moxie, the ford "Fun" and the front numbers are Aquarius, and the inside numbers are Merry... For shapes I used the princess castle, crown, 4x4 balloons, butterflies, mushrooms, stars, aliens, hearts and flowers!! Such a fun little project, and my DD just LOVES it!!
