Displaying Travel Photos with BoBunny Snowy Day

The BoBunny Snowy Day line was designed and great for winter photos of all types and lots of the items include snowflakes, mittens and winter messages, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t great for other photos.  I loved the rich colors and was eager to use the papers, but I didn’t have winter photos of any type.  I did have lots of travel photos.  I decided that the blues, browns and golds would be perfect for a day in Briare, France, a lovely city on the Loire River. 

BoBunny has a wonderful line of dots and solids that cooridinate well with specific lines.   I used  the Slate Dot and Plum Dot in this layout.  The solid side of the Plum Dots was perfect for my pictures.  For Trim on top and bottom, I used the Slate Dot and punched it.  The Snowy Day Stripes had colors that I loved and only a couple of stripes related to snow so I just used this paper as accents and didn’t use the “snow” lines.  Some of the tags were without snowy messages so I used these.  When taken out of the “snowy” situation, the snowflakes on brads and papers, look like designs or the sun. 

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       

As with many of my travel layouts, I was challenged as I had lots of pictures I wanted to use and quite frankly I thought journaling would take away from the beauty of the layout.  My solution – hidden journaling.   The tab on the left with a brad is actually the pull for a long piece of paper that contains the story of this day.  Result:  The memories are preserved and the beauty of the pictures isn't  marred by text.  

As usual with BoBunny, this line has great chipboard, brads, buttons and jewels.  I couldn’t use them all in this layout, but I sure wanted to.  So if you ignored this month’s line because you didn’t think you had snow pictures, I encourage you to head to ScrapbooksPlus and check out these papers. 

Let It Snow

Hi!! This is my first layout of 2013 (Happy New Year!) and I couldn't be more pleased with the way it turned out. The greens, blues and yellows in BoBunny's Snow Day collection totally complement the colors in my photo. Of course, I used lots of layers because I LOVE all of the wonderful Snow Day patterned papers, so I tried to use as many as I could. ;)

Snowy Day Layout

So I figure if we start creating snowy layouts, we'll start to get more snow!??  Yeah?  Maybe?  OK - well if you have snow pictures from snow days long ago, here is a sample layout to use for inspiration.  Its simple and doable.  I used one of my favorite accucut dies (snowflake) as an embellishment for this layout.  Be sure to stop by ScrapbooksPlus and use the diecut for your layouts!

Cuddling up with COCOA!

There is nothing better than cuddling up with your grandchild and a mug of Hot Cocoa on a cold winter day!  One of my favorite things about the BoBunny Snow Days line of papers is it's versatility!  I wanted this page to be bright and cheery to help reflect on the mood that this moment created.  I used an off-white card stock with the bright blue, green and yellow in this collection.  I love how different it looks!  Using my Cricut, I cut out a black cup and vellum steam. To make the steam look more dimensional, I use two layers of vellum and popped one piece up on the other using foam tape.  By adding Distressed Stickles, it made the steam curl and separate leaving it with a more realistic look!  I also wanted to include the recipe I used to make the coca, so I created a pocket and handmade recipe card using the collection and die cuts!  I had an absolute blast with this page!!  What are you making with the BoBunny Snow Days collection!?

Winter Wonderland Card

I chose to make a very simple Winter card using the BoBunny  Snow Day collection.  I felt this particular paper was elegant enough to be on the card alone.  All I did was add in some Distress Stickles (Picket Fence and Rock Candy) for highlighting purposes.  Be sure to stop by Scrapbooks Plus and have a look at all the January Design Team projects and choose your favorite papers and embellishments from the BoBunny Snow Days collection!

BoBunny Snowy Day Line

The Design Team used BoBunny’s Snowy Day line to create its January projects.  As the name conveys, the papers, journaling blocks, tags and embellishements have a snow theme.  Lots of snowflakes, mittens and snow sayings, such as "let it snow."   Typical of BoBunny, the line includes brads, cute buttons,  jewels, die cuts and chipboard shapes. 

The rich hues of blues,  browns, plums and golds provide great backgrounds for winter pictures. The Design Team added some of the BoBunny cooridinating solid papers with dots on the reverse side.  Slate Dots, Plum Dots and Curry Dots papers go especially well with the Snowy Day line  

Although the papers are perfect for snow pictures, the color combination is great for other pictures as well.  As an example of the versatility,  I made two layouts of travel pictures, without any snow in them.  Many of the prints work for a variety of pictures. 

I can’t wait to see what the Design Team has made with this versatile line.  You can check out the Design Team’s projects at ScrapbooksPlus.  Feel free to take pictures of those that give you ideas for your layouts.  While you're there you can pick up the supplies you’ll need to make some great layouts. Or you can sign up for one of January's crops and usethe Design Team Wall for ideas create your own layouts.
