Bo Bunny Noteworthy | Home Sweet Home - 17turtles Juliana Michaels

There is nothing quite like feeling at home and our new home as become just that....Home. Home sweet home in fact! We both really love so much about it and feel truly blessed to live in such a wonderful house. It has been a stark contrast living in this newly built home compared to our last home that was built in 1896! But we have adjusted quickly!!! For this layout I wanted to share a couple photos of our new home shortly after we had moved in so that I could remember how happy it made me feel to be living in it. The Bo Bunny Family Is collection seemed like the perfect range to work with because of some of the embellishment containing the words "home".

TREND | Pantone Spring 2013 Color Report

Bo Bunny's Family Is collection has nearly every color from the Pantone Spring 2013 Color Report except the purple color. I love the contrast of the slightly muted tones against the pop of the darker ones. It's also very exciting to see our beloved scrapbook products so on trend!!!

INSPIRED BY | Bo Bunny Noteworthy Envelope

As I pulled all of the pieces out of the Noteworthy package, I saw this little envelope and assembled it (pictured in the detail shot below). Next I saw the little hearts and the word piece "you & me" and the envelope seemed like the perfect home. I then started layering more Noteworthy pieces on my background paper with my photos. It wasn't totally planned, but as I started playing with the bits and pieces of Noteworthy it just happened and I realized that the design style reminded me very much of the super talented Lisa Rubin Swift. I adore her fun style and I feel like this layout has captured a bit of her style.

TIP | Sticker Fix

When I am creating, I have to be able to see what I am making. I can't totally visualize it in my head. As I am creating a layout, I love to move things around to see how they are going to look before I adhere them. This is great with paper, but can be a bit of a challenge with stickers. My solution, I attach them to scrap paper or chipboard and trim around them. Then they are easy to move around until I have found their final resting place on my layout.

There are so many bits and pieces on this layout that have a significant meaning to me. Do you see any? Do you ever create layouts where you use some of the embellishments to capture your story beside just putting it into words?

Thanks for stopping by today and I hope you come back again soon!
