New Bo Bunny

Introducing two new collections from Bo Bunny!

Who could resist "Love Bandit?" Complete with little forest animals and love birds, this collection is sure to be a hit! These products would be great for Valentine's Day as well as baby themed projects. Here is a sampling of the products we have in stock:


Cardstock Stickers (I can envision these on the cutest handmade valentines ever!)



12x12 Sticker Page...
An assortment of adorable double-sided papers (here are just a couple)...

Cut-apart accents...again...perfect for hand-made valentines!
Buttons & Bling...
Rub-ons...
Petals...
and Clear Stamps.
"Persuasion" is a little more sophisticated and would also be great for scrapping everyday moments.

There's die cut papers...
Double-sided patterned papers...

Cut-apart sheets...


12x12 Sticker Page...
Rub-ons...
Cardstock Stickers...
Brads...
and Clear Stamps.
"Persuasion" also has a matching Buttons & Bling and flowers.

Here are some layout ideas combining pieces from both "Love Bandit" and "Persuasion."

Don't be afraid to stamp directly on your photos...just make sure it's a copy and not an original!

I shrunk an actual receipt on the copy machine to include in my miniature shopping bag.

Hidden journaling tags pull out from the side that tell about our funny shopping quirks.



Many times people see a busy patterned paper and wonder how to use it. I think you should just let the paper do all the work! Add your photo and a few matching embellishments and chalk it up to one of the fastest layouts you've ever made!

(Also check out our brand new 12x12 glittered cardstocks. They are great for die cutting or punching your own sparkly accents)!

"I Heart You" by American Crafts

If you like American Crafts, you are going to LOVE their newest collection. "I Heart You" features many double-sided designs perfect for showing off photos of the ones you love or to create one-of-a-kind valentines. Mix and match the fun bright papers with Thickers alphabets, rub-ons, and chipboard embellishments.

Here's a couple of layout ideas designed by Kathy Davis:

Notice how Kathy punched scalloped circles from various patterned papers, then cut them in half for a simple yet eye-catching accent.


I love how perfectly the Bo Bunny flowers match the American Crafts collection.


Design Tip: Use our die cutting machines to create your own shaped background papers.

After Christmas Goodies

Now that the holidays are over, it's the perfect time to gather the hundreds of photos you took and put them in your album. Here are a couple of layout ideas designed by Tara Lehmann using the Creative Imaginations "Christmas in the Kitchen" collection:



This paper is full of chocolately goodness...just right for showcasing Tara's son tasting Santa's treats.


Notice now Tara scrapped 6 photos on this layout? She printed the majority of them in a smaller size so they would fit without making the layout look crowded. Super cute!

Come see what other Christmas goodness is available in the scrapbooking department. There's something for everyone!
