Peacock Lane & Mid-Month Challenge

I know the August kit has been revealed (have you seen it?? WOW!) but I really can't get enough of this paper in the July kit! So, I have a couple more layouts to share with you using BoBunny Peacock Lane:
I hope you have enjoyed working with this kit as much as I have!

Your mid-month challenge for July is naturally summer-related (it's HOT outside!) Let's cool things down with a water-themed layout. It can be any size, with any number of photos, with any kind of embellishments as long as it emulates a water-theme. Post a link to your creation in a comment on this post by August 1st to be eligible for the RAK drawing. I can't wait to see what you create, so go get scrappin'!

My KNK July kit reveal!

And isn't it about time! I have been on vacation.... and this gem of a kit graced my doorstep the day after I left on my nearly 3-week-long trip across the midwest. I couldn't wait to get into it when I got home Saturday evening! So that's just what I did.

The purples and blues were just right for my middle child, Katelynn, they are her favorite colors so naturally I have lots of photos of her wearing them. This made it pretty easy to have my pictures printed and waiting for me when I got back!
Fussy-cutting is sort of my go-to technique and I usually look for useable embellishments in the paper first when designing a page. In the midst of all the pretty Peacocks and flourishes in these BoBunny "Peacock Lane" papers were these dainty little purple blooms with blue centers and gray leaves, and dressing them up was easy. I think they add a delicate touch, a nice counter-balance to the bold leaves on the tree in this layout.

A simple card is easy to put together from scraps....

.... and I always love to use the coordinating flowers that BoBunny makes for each line of paper. For this layout I used a couple iCandy brads for the centers of two layered flowers, and a Petaloo "Candies" flower for the center of the third. If you haven't seen these particular flowers from Petaloo they are soooo pretty!! The only thing that could make me love them more is if they came in more than one size :)

more Popscicle please :)

Sometimes all it takes is one product to get that scrappy-ball rolling (so to speak). This orange paper is the "B" side to one of the BoBunny "Popscicle" papers, and to be honest, not my favorite of the lot. At least, not until I received these super-cool chipboard circles! The circle-theme fell together very nicely after I paired the two products together, and even inspired me to really go outside my square-shaped photo box and trim my photos into something other than squares (something I almost never do!). I ended up loving the paper, and really liking the end-result of this fun layout. I just love these little coordinating flowers and buttons, don't you? Often it's the little details, such as tied buttons, or a little hand-stitching, or even a little accenting with glitter-glue, that can take your layout beyond the ordinary. With this layout, I've officially used up nearly every scrap of "Popscicle" I own! It's such a versatile and eye-catching line of products. You can find all these beautiful BoBunny products HERE. :)
