Xryon, BoBunny & Giveaway's... Oh my!!!

 Another day using Xyron adhesive's with BoBunny paper and embellies =
fun projects, ideas and a few giveaways.

Here's your checklist:
~Visit & comment on blogs until Friday by midnight.
~Visit, like & comment on facebook.
~Wait for the drawings and see if your name shows up.
~Enjoy fun prizes.

Easy stuff, right?

So I made an album using BoBunny's Mamarazzi²
I'm so in love with this line.
First of all, I used Xyron's 9"Creative station.
If I'm covering a chipboard album... the creative station is my favorite way to go.

This machine assures that every single inch of my paper is sticky and nothing is going to lift.
  If I'm going to be away at a crop... the Cheetah Runner is the way I like to go.
It's more portable and takes up less space.
It also covers the entire area so we have no lifting.
WARNING:  You'll have to forgive my photography and basic skills...

Here is the cover of my album.  (This album has every other page as acrylic then chipboard)
Acrylic is hard to photograph. (But that kid is still so dang handsome!)
 This is my youngest sons senior photo shoot in this album.
The cover is acrylic... so you can see through to the next page.
 Can you see the difference of the right side page above and below????
 I did a fun little pop up with the camera.  You pull on the tab that says 'CLICK' and the camera pops up.  Below are a couple of close ups.  

I used the Xyron mounting tape when making this pop up, it's a double sided tape and tends to hold the interactive pop up together well.

 
This is one of my favorite pages. The right side is acrylic.  I used the Mamarazzi² paper called focus and cut out the fun poloroid frames.  I Xacto'd out the centers... then used my album packaging and put a clear film between my photo and the frame and then backed the entire thing on chipboard...
This made it actually feel like a real poloroid.  (that's hard to explain)

Then I used a fun idea from Renea at Scraps of Darkness and cut out the individual chevron's to embellish.

 The left side here is the back side of the acrylic page from before.  I strategically placed photos and stickers from the Mamarazzi² Combo to cover the Polaroids from the other side. Bwah ha ha ha
(I love strategy)

 These pages were super fun too.  I used a fun technique I learned from Robbie Herring (on our own BoBunny design team) for the banner that's across the pocket on the left side page.

I used my Xyron Glue Stick (with the 'wedge') Have you guys used it yet??? Pretty dang cool.
Anywho... when you use a glue stick, it stiffens as it drys and holds the shape.
See how the fun corners of my pennants curve out below????
That's because I used my glue stick.  LOVE THIS TECHNIQUE!!  (Thanks Robbie)

p.s.  I'm going to journal on the tags in this pocket... advice for my graduating son.... 
but I need to do that at home where everyone in the office won't see my emotions. (hee hee)
I'm also going to add a tiny little picture of him as a boy in my tiny poloroid hanging from my banner.

 And here is my last page of my handsome son who I love and adore and can't believe he's graduating and leaving me for his dumb future. Future smoocher!!!...

Below, some of the other Xyron products I used throughout my album.  The Mega runner is what I used when adhering my photos to mats.

The create-a-sticker is fun for smaller pieces that are not already a sticker,
and is that lil lime green 1" create-a-sticker about the cutest thing you've ever seen????
I just keep it in my purse, cuz it's cute and kids think I'm amazing when I pull it out and
make whatever lil do-dad thing they have into a sticker! That's how I roll girls!

Okay.... if you've made it this far, you're in luck.
Leave me a comment here, tell me anything.
Leave me a comment on our facebook. here. ( I like to see your projects too)

A Mom's Day Mini

Since it was Mother's Day this week, we are going to 
do a couple posts that highlight our moms.

Today, Sam Wright has made a darling mini album
out of the Noteworthy packaging. 

BoBunny's packaging is so beautiful, you can't stand
to throw it away.  Check it out:

When it comes to love, MOM's the word
by Sam Wright
" I created this mini album using the Noteworthy packaging as my base and cover. I also used packaging within my album as embellishments/ journaling spots.
 Take the Noteworthy packaging with the little flap on your right and score at 4"
Next cut a piece of patterned paper 5" x 9". This will be your front cover. Turn the Noteworthy card over so that the little flap is on your left. Glue the paper down. The paper does not cover the flap!!
 For the inside cover:
Cut one 5" x 6" piece of patterned paper
Cut one 5" x 8" piece of patterned paper.
Glue the smaller piece from left to right. The paper goes over the fold(to strengthen the spine)
Taking the second strip- score at 3" and glue the remaining 5" from the centre to the end of the book. This will not cover the small flap either.
The 3" piece that is not stuck down, becomes the first page of your mini!
 Designer tip: To add strength and to ensure the album does not come apart I use double sided tape. However.... PLEASE BE WARNED.... accidents happen easily as there is no repositioning embellishments or paper once it has stuck!!





 Hope you enjoyed this little mini and if you do have a go at making one, please share it with us on the Bo Bunny Facebook Page! We'd love to see!"
