    My room is really taking shape!  As you can see, since I last showed you photos of my room, we have painted and today added my wood floors! 

    We just need to add the moldings and paint them, add shelves in my closet and I can 2008_12_13_0113move in! 

    YEAH!  Can I just tell  you how lucky I am?

    The boys are going to be really upset when I move in.  They think my room makes a really great basketball court!Amber

  • I’ve had so much fun playing with acrylic the last two weeks.  When I was given the assignment to create a home decor project with Bo Bunny products, I got my thinker thinking and I knew I had to use the new Bo Bunny Clearly Mixed Up Album.  Ashley did the cutest stars (a month ago – she was on top of it!) and frame, Shanna did a super fun pink tree with mittens, Shaunte did a cute hanging frame and Julia did another cute star.  They were all so fabulous!  I really hoped my experiment turned out how I wanted it to.  Here is what I came up with:

    Swag

    Swag Star_L Swag Stocking 1 Swag holly and bulbs Swag bulb1 Swag present 1 Swag Stocking 2 Swag bulb 2 Swag Present 2 Swag Star_R

    Bo Bunny Products:  Clearly Mixed Up Holiday Album (2), Oh Christmas Tree Rub-on, Bella Journee Rub-on, Apple Green All Stuck Up Flowers, Wild Berry All Stuck Up Flowers, Wild Berry All, Stuck Up Buttons, Bella Journee Pewter 2 Brads , Stamp & Store Aloha, Stamp & Store Circle This, Stamp & Store Elements, Stamp & Store Urban, Rasperrie Pie Ribbon, Holly Jolly Ribbon, 3/8″ Chiffon Dot Ribbon, 3/8″ Sage Dot Ribbon

    Ranger Products:  Alcohol Inks (Cranberry, Lettuce, Butterscotch) and Stickles (Christmas Red, Silver & Lime Green)

    Tips:

    * Color acrylic album pieces using Ranger Alcohol Inks (Cranberry, Lettuce and Butterscotch) & Alcohol Blending Solution. Our friend, Tish Treadway, taught me how to do this!

    * In order to stamp on acrylic, you must use StazOn ink. I used black, but you can use any color since you’ll be adding Stickles to the top.

    * Glitter using Stickles (Xmas Red, Lime Green and Silver). Allow to dry completely before touching.

    * Use a Crop-A-Dile to punch extra holes. Do not punch too close to the edge.
