Hello everyone!  It’s Kelly Klapstein here to share with you my new double layout sketch and design for the Winter 2015 page call!  Don’t hate me for saying the word, “Winter!” ha ha

I fell in love with the new BoBunny “Sweet Life” collection and knew it would look perfect with some photos of my youngest daughter.

I fussy cut some of the beautiful flowers and butterflies from the Bobunny patterned paper as embellishments.

Those other pretty flowers are Bobunny too, but I felt they were a little too dark for my layout, so I took out some Clearsnap Colorbox Chalk ink in a white colour called “Popcorn” and altered the dark red flowers so they were lighter. The gold pearls in the flower centres are BoBunny Jewels.

See those pretty doilies tucked behind my photos?

I used the BoBunny Lace Stickable Stencil and Pastel Pink Colorbox Chalk ink to make them!

I had never used these BoBunny Stencils before, and let me tell you, I am hooked!  They stick onto paper well and are easily removed to make stenciling a breeze and mess free!

Just place the Stickable Stencil down on the paper and ink it up.

Then pull back the stencil to reveal the design!  How cool is this?!

Then I simply cut around the edges, and I had my own custom coloured doily!

As for my title, I designed and cut it with my Brother ScanNCut machine from a light coloured sheet of BoBunny Sweet Life paper.

I created a journaling spot by cutting and combining two elements from the BoBunny paper.

With BoBunny, you can complete your entire layout with one-stop shopping…papers, embellishments and even mixed media products too!

I hope you will give this sketch a try and submit for the Winter issue! Click HERE to see the Submissions page on our website.

Happy Crafting!
