Release Party for Good Dog by Imaginisce

It's a P-a-r-t-y!!  A "Good Dog" party with Imaginisce.  They have released this SUPER cute collection this week.  So if you are looking for the perfect collection for your little (or big ;) pooch...here it is!

My son is an absolute DOG LOVER.  This collection is made for him and his furry friends.  The adorable Good Dog Collection is perfect for bringing your love for dogs center stage.    The paper and embellishments made it so easy to create this layout.  All the colors and patterned paper coordinate so well together.  And the Doggie Die Cuts are the CUTEST!  I layered several patterned papers together to create the base of the layout.  I love creating my own embellishments so I hand cut and matted the dog bone for an oversized embellishment to balance the 5”x7” photo I used.  I made a dog tag for  journaling with the Diary Sticker Stacker and ribbon.  I also hand cut the hearts that I placed throughout the page, giving them dimension with foam tape and rhinestones.

Patterned Paper:  Dog Parade, Dog Speak, Dawg Dayz, Spotty Dog, Dog Dreams.  Doggy Die Cuts, Doggy Diary Sticker Stacker.   Rhinestones, Blue Ribbon.  Tools:  I-Rock, I-Punch, I-magicut Ribbon Cutter, Foam Tape.

Good Dog Mini Album:

As soon as I saw the fun designs in the Good Dog collection I knew there was a mini album in my future!  The idea for the shape of the pages came from the collection itself:  The heart, dog bone, food  bowl and dog house pages were all drawn and hand cut to mimic the smaller shapes found on the papers and embellishments.  I wanted each page to be a different shape so that it would catch your eye without even opening the album.  In a mini album it is sometimes tough to make space for journaling.  In this album I used the Doggy Mail cutouts and made them their own page in the album so that there was plenty of room for journaling.

Supplies used:

Patterned Paper:  Dog Parade, Doggy Mail, Dog Speak, Dog Dreams, Dog Biscuits, Dawg Dayz, Spotty Dog, In the Dog House, Paw Prints.

Fur-Ever Friends Sticker Stackers, Doggy Diary Sticker Stacker, Doggy Die Cuts.

Thanks for stopping by today and hope you LOVE this new collection as much as I do.

Have a fabulous day!

Handmade Gifts with Bo Bunny Serenade Collection

What's the big question that you get asked everywhere you go this time of year?  "Are you ready for Christmas?"  Well....are you?!?  Yikes it's only a few days away.... 

If you are looking for some last minute ideas for that perfect gift, something homeade and from the heart, well then you have come to the right blog!  I am featuring two projects for the Fotobella Design Team made with Bo Bunny's Serenade Collection that would make great gifts.  This collection can be found at Fotobella.com and you can get the complete collection by selecting the "I Want It All" Bundle. 

My first project is a beautiful bookmark, perfect for those avid readers I know!

 

I really loved this quote so I chose to place it at the top of the bookmark.I   wanted to place the quote sticker without interfering with the beautiful dragonfly.  I did that by cutting along the body of the dragon fly and the top edge of the wing on the right side with anXacto knife.  Then I slipped the 2 bottom corners of the sticker behind the slits.  I embellished it with gold stickles along the edge and a chipboard flower sticker.  I added a yellow rhinestone to the center of the flower. 

 

I love the earthy colors of this paper but I did want to add a little bling to it…I couldn’t help it!  So I used green stickles along the edges of the winds and embellished the body of the dragonfly with Icicles Stickles to give it some shine.  It worked perfectly.Just enough sparkle.

                                     

 

My second project is a Recipe Mini Album. Besides scrapbooking all the time, I also enjoy cooking and baking. I often receive requests for my recipes…and to be honest, I’m terrible at sharing them! I thought I could create this mini album and tuck a few of my most requested recipes and gift it to those who are always asking for them J

 

One of the sticker sheets in this bundle is all a cooking theme, which was perfect for this recipe book. For the cover I combined stickers, flowers, brads, chipboard sitkcers, rhinestones, trinkets and ribbon.

 

I made every page a different shape by experimenting with my Lucky 8 punches (also found at Fotobella.com) 

Hope this inspires you to make some creative handmade and heartfelt gifts of your own this holiday season!

Happy Holidays!
