BoBunny & XYRON Blog Hop Scrapbook Page layout DIY

On April 2010, me, hubby and our oldest daughter ,Sierra (3 at that time) came to visit our family in the US and attend  a wedding of my husband's relatives .

We landed at Chicago,spent a week there. Then flew to Cancun ,Mexico for a week .
Got back to Chicago and flew to NY for another week
It was so much fun (even with a little kid on hand :D ) and we took like hundreds of pictures ,but when we return home,I have never found the time to even print all these amazing photos ,not until today :)

Thanks to the  XYRON & BoBunny Blog Hop Challenge I finally have the chance to make a scrapbook of our trip !
I went  through all the photos of our journey and while browsing and reminisce, a photo of Sierra with surfing boards at the background caught my attention ...I remembered seeing a similar backdrop and an overall feel of my photo in one of Bo Bunny's Back to Backs Reversible Heavy Weight Papers...
I went to check my stash and as I was going through the BEAUTIFUL BoBunny "Key Lime"  collection ,I saw this PERFECT page for my first scrapbook !!! A Key Lime  item #14501814
It's colours and the tropical feel of the page was all that I was looking for and so,I started to assemble a collage-I'll show you how I did it

You'll need a-
 Bo-Bunny 12x12 heavy weight cardstock from the keylime collection
Core'dinations ColorCore Cardstock in Blue,Yellow and Jeans

Silhouette Cutter

Sanding paper

XYRON Creatopia Machine with permanent adhesive  

5 different Bo-Bunny NoteWorthy die cut journal pages #14513862
Key Lime Trinkets #14506853
XYRON Tape Runner

Key Lime Jewels #14507856

Imaginisce ABC Sticker Alphas Sheet #400127

Imaginisce "childhood Memories" Sticker Stackers #400135

Naturals/ Little Yellow Bicycle  Canvas Alphas 

Your photo 

To begin with,choose the 12x12 you like best-consider similar colours or theme to your photo
I went with the   12x12" Key Lime 

I'm going to make this page according to the scrapbook layout kit #41249 by Silhouette

, but will tweak it a bit

I chosed a  Core'dinations ColorCore Cardstock to construct my layouts with

First of I cut a 4.5X6.5"  Cardstock in blue to set the base

Then I add a 5.5X5.5"  yellow  Cardstock cut in folder shape from the silhouette kit above
See how all the cardstocks I use have a similar colour scheme to the chosen background sheet

3rd piece would be in Jeans colour ,hand torn  to 5X5"  rectangle  .

I wanted to give this last piece a bit of body and interests ,so I wrinkled  it good and then sanded it  to receive a wave like design-COOL !

Now it's time to glue them all in place...And there is no better way to do so than 

run the cardstocks through your trusty  Creatopia Machine

Glue all three one on top of the other and continue decorating with the Imaginisce sticker letters

I use my Aristo ruler to place the letters in straight line 

and another word made from the same Imaginisce sticker set  :)
 + canvas brackets  stickers from the Alphas set by Naturals 

decorating...decorating...decorating...

I know the original layout I'm basing my page on, uses a different type of camera and the shape is available in the kit, but I had this adorable polaroid Sticker Stacker Camera by Imaginisce ,so I decided to use it instead 

 also added two arrows on the left side of the camera

Now lets not forget  that we are mostly girls in the family, so some bling is a MUST

The layout sketch shows us that  we need to stick some jewels in a half circle near the folder on it's left side...

For easy and accurate applying of the half a circle ,I'm using a round object I had on hand as a template and Bo Bunny's jewels stickers

Here you go :)

Looking lovely 

To decorate some more,I'm adding the journaling die cuts-

First off ,run the dies  through your XYRON Creatopia Machine to make a sticker out of them   

Then glue them in place

Some on the bottom of the page...and some on the top

I switched the heart from the sketch with a beach ball 

And the heart sketched on the  folder ,with  a cute little Key Lime Trinket which I glued on with my XYRON Tape Runner on top of the yellow folder  

The project is complete :)

Now you have yourself an AWESOME scrapbook page to glue your photo in
