First Day Of Autumn with Bo Bunny Dreams of Autumn

 Hi Folks!   I am honored to be the Guest Designer for fotobella.com this month!  

Today is a real special day for it is the first day of Autumn!  When you think of Autumn you think of cooler days, hooded sweatshirts, Halloween, leaves and I think of ......

yes, pine cones and acorns falling from the trees! So that is what I decided to make for you today!

First I made the acorn

I cut the pieces from my Silhouette Cameo 3 out of the svg from My Scrap Chick called acorn box.  I used Brown Solid Core Cardstock to take the shape of the acorn.  Then using Bo Bunny Dreams of Autumn-Sweater Weather, I made the panels  to go over the acorn "shell".  

If you have not noticed, this is a gift box!

For the lid, I used the opposite side of Bo Bunny Dreams of Autumn-Foxes.  The orange was a perfect coordinating match with the orange dots on the panels.  That is what I love about this Bo Bunny Collection.  It all coordinates so well together.  Taking some fibers I had in my stash, I wrapped it around the base of the lid and then created a triple bow with it.  I really liked the way that looked since all the same colors where in the fibers.  To top it all off, I added 3 small dots of Ranger Stickles-Copper to the stem of the acorn to give it a little bling.  I am truly pleased how it came out!

On to the next!  

The pine cone was not as easy but so much you can do with this!  Again, it was an SVG from My Scrap Chick , and it is called the Pine cone box. I used brown solid core cardstock for the base of the pine cone.  Then using Bo Bunny Dreams of Autumn Double Dot Collection-Chocolate Vintage and the brown solid core cardstock, I rotated between the two, rolling the tips of the cardstock to create the pine cone effect.

Again, if you had not noticed

this is also a small gift box or a small hiding place for your goodies!  To finish my project off, I again rotated every other piece and added some bling with some Ranger Stickles-Champagne color.  It gave it just the right amount of sparkle!  If it was winter you could add white to the tips for snow and it would look really nice also for pine cones with snow on them for another effect.

I hope you enjoyed my post and I hope you have a very happy first day of Autumn!

I Made the Fresh Strawberry Box!  Now if that doesn't make you think of spring I don't know what will!

I used Polka Dot Cardstock from Paper Studio that you get from Hobby Lobby.  I then put some Bling Pearls around the lid lip from Eyelet Outlet. Next I  used some green Satin Ribbon for "vines" on the strawberry that I just had in my stash.  

I hope you enjoy my little bit of Spring and it is warming up a bit by you.  Today is our first warming up day here in Northern Indiana.  Yesterday we had snow and today we have low 70's.  Go figure.  LOL

My Scrap Chick- Camera Gift Box

Where has this week gone?  I can't believe it is Thursday already!  
Today I want to share a My Scrap Chick project I did and fell in total love with!  It is the camera gift box from the Camera Trio Collection.

It was sooo fun to decide how to make and what to use on it.

First I used the This & That Collection from Echo Park for  all the Card stock.  I wanted a vintage camera feel and this seemed to have it.

I Used AC Cardstock for any Solid Cardstock on it.  Then I decided to add a Camera Strap.  I had gotten this wonderful wide ribbon from my Secret Sister for Christmas and it is from Stamping up.  (I can't remember the name I am sorry)  I thought it was PERFECT for a camera strap.  I attached it with a round paper clip and E6000 Glue.

Then wanting to add a Button I found a wooden button and took a copic marker and colored it to match my cardstock .  Then taking a enamel dot to top it off. Of Course If you know me and most of my projects , You know I have to add Trendy Twine!  So to make it match I added some beautiful Chocolate Truffle Trendy Twine  around the lens and also made a cute little bow for behind the Prima Flowers I added to the lens to top it off.

I Hope you enjoy my Camera as much as I did making it.  Please leave me a message and let me know what you think!

Blessings,

My Scrap Chick-Easter Chick Bundle

Happy Sunday!  I wanted to share with you an adorable SVG set from My Scrap Chick.  It is called the Easter Chick Bundle.  Wow, is this soooo cuuuuttee!  Just love this!  I loved it sooo much I broke the set up for 2 of my grandchildren's Easter layouts from 2017.  Here they are:

 

This one is for my 2 year old grandson, Lestat.  I thought it was perfect for all the photos I had.  Whimsical, just like him!

 

This one is for my 3 year old granddaughter, Jaelyn,  just dainty enough for her girlishness that she projects.  I was really happy with this also!  

Here is all the paper pieces up close:

My Scrap Chick-Cross Gift Box

Good Afternoon!  I wanted to share this beautiful file from My Scrap Chick.  With Easter approaching I thought it was the perfect file to share.  

Without further ado :

This is the Cross Gift Box.  Is it not just Gorgeous?????    I just loved it!  

First , I used wood grain card stock from Photoplay's  "This Guy's " collection for the base , top , bottom inside and top inside.  I then wanted scripture for the outside back and top.  I couldn't find any in my stash stash!  Can you believe it!?!?  The nearest store that carries card stock is over 45 minutes away so when all else fails,  look up free scrapbook paper online and I furthered my search to bible pages.  Whala!  I printed it on a 8 1/2  by 11 piece of textured cream cardstock by AC  to have that aged look.  

(Side view)

I inked all my pieces with Prima Chalk edgers,made the gorgeous lily that comes with the file X3 and water colored the inside yellow, orange and red to give the look I wanted.  Added the bow made from some vintage lace I inherited from my great aunt , added some faux pearls and called it done.

I really hope you enjoy this beautiful cross box as much as I do.  Leave me a message and let me know what you think!

Hope you have a blessed Easter!
