Flying Unicorn - Bo Bunny Serenade

Hi Everyone, 

Today I would like to share with you all quite a few different projects all created with the Serenade range by Bo Bunny. This range is so rich and bold and just screams out to you to create, create and create. To show the huge versatility of this range I thought I would make a layout, card, OTP and a tag. Rather than waffle on too much about it all I think it is just best to speak in photos.

Upcycled Formula Tin - Flying Unicorn

Here is a little inspiration project I created for the 'trash to treasure' mid month challenge at Flying Unicorn. Challenge is running from 15th June - 15th July. 

From my recycling bin I pulled out a baby formula tin. For months I have been looking at these tins and thinking 'I really should do something with them'. Thank you for the fantastic kick start Tammy (again I must tell you that your project is amazing!!). I feel like I took an easy option by choosing the obvious tin to recycle, none the less.....

I turned this.....

I cut the huge flower out on my Cricut machine and then carefully pieced all 30 petals together. I gave nearly everything a smidge of rub'n buff and distress ink. I think this gorgeous Bo Bunny paper complemented my formula tin rather perfectly ;-).

I am over the moon, I cannot wait to bring you all new and exciting projects, starting with the ones below (from my first creative team posting).

Today I would like to share with you two projects, one girly and one grungy, thought I would mix it up a bit. Let's start with girly by showing you my Secret Garden layout. A friend of mine posted a photo of her Mum on Facebook which I just 'had' to scrap, such an adorable shot.

Time to grunge it up a bit!

This week I took a bottle straight out of my recycling bin, I decided it was way too nice a bottle to simply throw away. I set about figuring a way to paint the bottle from the inside without using a paint brush. This process was very simple, I made a mixture of Mod Podge, acrylic paint, Perfect Pearls and water. I tipped it into the bottle and shook it up, it worked perfectly, my bottle was then a wonderful deep sea sparkly blue. Although I ended up covering most of the bottle with paper, I can see pretty glimpses of blue through the peacock feathers and when I tip the bottle upside down the base is gorgeous. So definitely take a second look at your bottles before you throw them out, turn trash into treasure!!. Now let's take a look.

Here is the bottle from the front....

Scrap Around The World - May Challenge

Hi Everyone,

Just yesterday via Facebook I stumbled across a brand spanking new challenge blog 'Scrap Around The World', immediately intrigued I took a little look. Very happy to see Helen Tilbury was the site owner and designer, we were both previously on the Zeus and Zoe design team together some years back. I thought it only right to support this new initiative and jump right on in and join the first challenge.

Please take the time to click on the link below and check what 'Scrap Around the World' is all about.

To take part in the May challenge all you need to do is be inspired by the below mood board (in ANY way) & use their sketch as your starting point.  More details can be found by clicking on the mood board, the link will take you right through to the challenge information.

What I wanted to take from the mood board was the colour teal, it jumped right out and me and said 'use me use me'. 

Late July last year I went to our work ball and there just happened to be a photo booth there, I have been waiting for just the right layout to use these photos.

Thanks 'Scrap Around the World' for giving me the nudge to spend my few hours spare today crafting away in my craft room. Also a big thank you to my newborn daughter Lily for having a nice long sleep this afternoon.  

Wishing you all a happy and creative week!
