A little Bo Bunny Inspiration and a Sneak Peek!

Helloooooo!!! Please excuse me if I sound a little extra chipper this morning, but I'm just so excited to be a scrapbooker today. Really! I'm serious. I mean, this hobby is awesome--awesome enough to have our own National holiday, you know...

But more than that (because, well... I'll admit that yes, there's a holiday for everything these days it seems)... what other hobby is constantly refreshing itself--its product lines, its trends, its techniques? And for what other hobby can you find constant inspiration out there via the world wide web? And most importantly, what other hobby has the ability to really hold on to your memories--the ones that seem to disappear about as quickly as they're made?

The answer? Scrapbooking & Papercrafting. And I'll have you know that playing just a small (read: itty bitty, teeny tiny, miniscule) role in this industry just makes me happy.

So without further adieu... I bring you yet another batch of pages and projects from the Design Team in the hopes that you'll find something that sparks your interest... something that makes you happy to be a papercrafter--on whatever level. Be it with today's post, or tomorrow's or something you see next week... because if you love this hobby half as much as I do, you're already chompin' at the bit to sit down at your craft table to whip up somethin' you love. Am I right?

Supplies Used:

    Assorted Flowers
    Silhouette Cameo (3D Flower, Butterfly, Leaves)
    Glue Gun

Instructions:

Start with a 12 inch base
Cut flowers out of 3 coordinating pattern sheets of paper. I used a 2.5 inch 3 layer flower from my Silhouette.
Cut 1-12 leaves.
Arrange on the base alternating patter paper and color.
Tuck the leaves randomly around the wreath.
Use any fake flowers that are seasonal and glue on.
Cut a coordinating element. I used a 5.5 inch butterfly from coordinating cardstock. I also cut a second image out of thick cardstock to give the butterfly a little substance and glue on top of the flowers.
You can make this for any season. It is so fun to make!

Great job Janet, Celeste and Mary Pat! And thanks so much for sharing your projects (and talents) with us! What great inspiration!
