It's Bunny Time!

I'm over due.....no that is not implying that we have a fifth on the way! ;) Just my little way of saying that it is time to share with you my latest projects for Bo Bunny!

This first project is one of my favorites ever! I will definitely be making other versions of this! This started out as a styrofoam wreath form. Yep, I handcut every leaf and petal on this! Aren't those flowers yummy?! I used a variety of papers from the Gypsy, Kitchen Spice and Delilah lines. I loved how well they went together!


This next is a layout made using a sketch that Rita Shimnioak, one of the other BB designers, made. I used one of the new lines...Love Bandit.

Lastly, a unque way to say thanks. I repurposed a box that we had laying around the house and made it into a "thankful" box. It is filled with little scrolls on which is written all of the many things that I am thankful for about the recipient that this will go to. This one is made with the Gypsy line.



Thank you all for stopping by. I'll leave you with a sneak peek for the December kit from A Million Memories...I love this one!

Such a pretty kit!

These were my projects made with the November kit from A Million Memories. I've been inspired to make cards lately, so there are more than a few of them! I'll start off with the two layouts. This first is one of my new all time favorites.


Been lovin' paper bows lately...here's a big one!

This is a picture frame. When I thought I was done with the kit and cleaning up I found this piece of Prima Specialty paper that I had completely forgotten about. I've had this frame for a while and thought I would put it to use. Didn't have much stuff left from the kit, so I made a cardstock flower and some leaves from some of the other Prima paper I had left and then added some bling swirls out of my own stash and some glitter around the edges of the frame. Super quick and easy!


Here are all of the cards...






Hope you all have a great weekend. Kids don't have school Friday so we are headed over to Central Oregon for some good old R&R!

If I'm dreaming....

   Please DO NOT wake me up!  Earlier this evening I wandered over to the Collage Press blog because I remembered that today was the day that they were making their new design team announcement. I hadn't received an email from them and thought I would go check out who the lucky ladies were. I can't even begin to tell you how in shock I was to see my name in the middle of the list. Yep, Tonya Dirk, spelled correctly. Me. Right. There.

   I am literally over the moon about this. I feel lucky, honored and blessed.  Those who know me, know that I firmly believe in only trying out for teams that I absolutely love their product. Designing for companies can be a lot of work and very time consuming and if I don't feel passionate about the product it shows in my work, which makes for some tough times. There will be no tough times with this one. I absolutely adore everything that I have ever seen from Collage Press and I just can't wait to get started!
So thank you so much to Collage Press for wanting me and congrats to the other lucky ladies on the list!

Here are a couple of LO's from my submission...

 This first one was made on a 12x12 Clear Scraps acrylic sheet....

Boo!!!

I just can't believe that it is only 5 days until Halloween. Wow! We'll have an interesting array of costumes in our house this year...a butterfly, Bobo Fet (from Star Wars), a doctor and a freaky clown thing-a-ma-bob.
Should make for some interesting group photos!

I thought I would share with you some of my latest creations using the Bo Bunny Boo Crew line. First up a wreath that is adorning my front door at this moment.



and a treat can....yeah, I confess those M&M's are long gone.


and a two page layout based on a sketch that Rita Shimaniok, a fellow Bo Bunny design team member did.


I'll leave you a sneak peek for the November kit from A Million Memories....this one is so pretty!


Hope you all have a happy Halloween.

Welcome Bunny Hoppers!!!

Today Bo Bunny is having a scavenger hunt to celebrate the new Fall Releases. There will be three new lines coming and I truly love them all. They are called Snowy Serenade, Persuasion and Love Bandit. You can go to the Bo Bunny blog and see all of them, but if you are here you probably already knew that! Here's a peak at the Snowy Serenade papers....and guess what...they are GLITTERY!!!! If you know me, you know I love glitter, I think I pretty much add it to everything I make.
As a little thank you for stopping by, I'd love to have a little giveaway. Some of you may remember this advent calendar that I made for the Bo Bunny blog featuring the Tis the Season line.



Well today is your lucky day! There were SO MANY inquiries when this was posted inquiring as to where I got the tree....unfortunately the bad news is that I picked it up on the clearance racks after Christmas last year at Cost Plus. The good news is that I picked up two! Which means that there is one left.
The bonus? It's still shrink wrapped and has candy in all of the drawers! If you'd like to have a chance at winning it, leave a comment here and I'll draw a random winner on Tuesday! Thanks for stopping by!
