Shaker Tag

Good morning everyone! Hope you all had a wonderful weekend!  I wanted to share a neat little shaker tag I created with Bo Bunny's Timepiece Collection.

I came across the technique in one of Canadian Scrapbooker's past publications and have been meaning to try forever!  To create this card, I simply cut out a circle shape and added a little transparency paper where the opening was.  I then cut the same size tag shape and outlined the rim with 3D foam.  Before joining the two tag pieces together I poured some glass beads inside to create a neat little shaker!

Very quick and easy - and you can put anything inside - candy sprinkles, confetti, etc.

Will be back again tomorrow with another card project to share from Bo Bunny!
Hope you have a happy Monday!

A New Look!!

Notice anything different about my blog??  Yes indeed!! I've had an amazing bloglift and I couldn't be more excited!! I was getting a little tired/bored of my old background and header and needed something clean and elegant that would showcase my projects in a professional way. 

I was MAJORLY inspired by the gorgeous blog of a great scrappy friend of mine - Robin Shakoor. If you look at her blog you can see I've pretty much duplicated it huh!?  I just totally fell in love with the clean lines and how professional it looked.  I loved how the projects were showcased larger than life and simply needed to redesign my blog straight away!!  Thank you Robin for all your help with this!!

I also need to thank Casey sooo much over at Hot Bliggity Blog for creating this beautiful design!  Amazing job and a wonderful gal to work with!

I still have a little tweaking to do here and there but I sincerely hope that you love this new look as much as I do!!  Be back soon with some scrappy projects to share!  Thanks for the visit!

Bo Bunny Blog Hop - Part 2!!

Welcome to the SECOND part of the Bo Bunny blog hop! I'm so excited that you all have joined us! The hop begins at the Bo Bunny blog so if you would like to participate, you may want to head there first.

For today's blog hop, I would like to share with you a layout I created with the wonderfully versatile Timepiece Collection.

Oh how I love the deep, bold colours of this line!

Lots of fussy cut paper elements on this project but I found that they didn't stand out well enough with the background paper. I later hilighted the cut outs with dimensional paint which really helped to pop each design.

I used some butterflies from Bo Bunny's Gabrielle collection which coordinates just wonderfully with the Timepiece line! To help your title stand out better you can do something as simple as outline with a white journal pen. I use this inexpensive scrappy item on quite a few of my projects for faux stitching as well!

Hope you all enjoyed this project and felt inspired!
