Feeding the Bunnies

It was a beautiful day out! The sun was shining, the air was crisp and I had just dropped the boys off to school. I had a few hours with my daughter so we decided to go to the park and feed the ducks. When we arrived, to our delight, we happened upon several adorable bunnies! I told my daughter that it must be the Easter bunny and his helper bunny rabbit friend - Peter Cottontail!

She was clearly excited to meet these furry creatures and to our surprise, rather than run away, they came even closer to us! What a wonderful day it was to feed the rabbits - not the ducks! (By the way, rabbits do not like bread, they much prefer grass....)

I used some of the beautiful new Color Me Crazy Blooms from Petaloo as well as their new Spring Dazzlers! Don't you just love those delicate, purple Candies? The papers are from Bo Bunny's Winter Joy collection - just love that turquoise/purple colour combo!

See those adorable little eggs in the top?!

How could I create just one layout with such a memorable moment?? Here we are feeding the rabbits some bread.... didn't last long - hee, hee

Loving the adorable Spring Dazzler bunnies from Petaloo!! So perfect for these photos. LOTS of layers on this layout - ribbon, crochet doily (of course!), flowers, swirls, paper!! LOVE IT!

The papers are from Bo Bunny's Crazy Love collection.

...My Baby You'll Be

Just love that book so much - can't finish it without a tear in my eye (at the very least)! The challenge at the Bo Bunny Blog right now is "Flashback Friday". The DT was prompted to scrap about something in their past or to do a heritage layout. I chose this photo of my eldest son. Just LOVE that angelic look in his face - so innocent. He was about 7 months old in this photo and is now 6!! My nanny knit that sweater for him (it was so adorable!) and I've since passed it down to his younger brother and sister!

Still totally in love with the crochet doilies and the textures they lend to my pages!! I tried to mimic the feel of the knitted sweater. The papers are all from Bo Bunny's Learning Curve collection. Again, you wouldn't normally think of these papers for a baby page, but the colours and tones just worked so wonderfully with the photo that I couldn't resist.

All about the layers!! I just love it! The fuller, the better! You can see the lace at the edge of the photo - it was actually a Bo Bunny Antique Lace Petal which I took apart and used as a trim :>


Because this is a boy layout, I tried to avoid the use of flowers, bling and butterflies which is REALLY hard for me considering I use these embellishments on 75% of my layouts!! I love making my own tags, layering papers and of course, adding things like doilies to fill in the space. I think I need a lesson on white space - LOL!

Stay tuned tomorrow for some new Petaloo Spring projects! Have a happy weekend!
