Friends...A BoBunny Challenge. ;)

BoBunny is having an awesome challenge on their blog right now. All you need to do is create a layout using Some BoBunny products and the title of a favorite movie or TV show. I was sitting here trying to think of one that would work with this gorgeous picture of my sweeties and the perfect title popped into my mind! I loooove this show...

Memories...

I took this amazing picture of my sweet hubby last year when we went to the beach for vacation. I've had it developed for a while but wasn't sure how I wanted to scrap it. I just got some of this yummy Fancy Pants paper in the mail this week and then today I saw the challenge over at Everything Scrapp'n to use red, white & blue along with some stars. This page popped into my head...

Supplies: Fancy Pants Paper - Papa; Colorbox Chalk Ink - Chestnut Roan; Craft Smart Ink - Chocolate Brown; Heidi Swapp Stamp; EK Success Binding Edge Punch; Tim Holtz Tiny Attacher; Making Memories Sanding Block; Chipboard Stars

I am SO happy with how it turned out!! Scrapping my two sweet girls all the time makes it very hard to scrap a page that's not girly, but I think I totally rocked this one. The awesome papers helped of course. ;) Maybe I'll even win some goodies for it! Wish me luck...

Easter!

I did this layout today about how we celebrated Easter this year. We always go to my mom's for an egg hunt and have such a great time! I used a sketch that's posted over at Papercraft Star this week. My sweet friend Suzanne is on the design team so I wanted to play along and show her some support. ;) Plus, the sketch rocks!! Here's my page...

Supplies: BoBunny Paper - Love Bandit; BoBunny Double Dot Paper - Strawberry; Martha Stewart Butterfly Punches; Martha Stewart Heart Confetti Punch; Doodlebug Jack & Jill Cardstock Alphabet Stickers - Bon Bon; Prima Flower; Making Memories Buttons; Autumn Leaves Clear Button; Ranger Ink Glossy Accents; Recollections Pearls; Twine

I am LOVING it!! I really like finding ways to use alot of pictures on a layout without crowding them and this sketch was great for that. :) Thanks for looking!!

Update: I won an award!!! Check it out on the right. ;)
