**I just LOVE the word Calypso**

....it's so FUN to say!

Today I can show you some more of my creations I did using the
GORGEOUS Calypso line from Bo Bunny!

Here's a layout I did...I LOVE the HUGE flowers in this line!

I simply cut them from one of the papers and made them stand
up a bit by curling the edges and distressing them a tiny bit.
I like the overall effect...


I also wanted a contrasting color for my title so what I did was
I sanded the letters and painted them a complimentary green
so they'd stand out...

Here's a closeup:

Isn't my girl cute! That's her at her graduation tea a couple of weeks ago
(She graduated high school yesterday! I can hardly believe it..
post coming soon...) She wore those silly sunglasses half the day!
love her....

Layout #2)

What I LOVE about the Calypso line is that it can be so girly
YET so full of boy too. LOVE the versatality!
For this layout, I combined the Calypso papers, stickers, chipboard,
gorgeous ribbon, buttons....yum!!

and a close up:
(sorry it's so dark, it was cloudy when I took the pics)
and now for some cards I did:
I just love the papers that have the shapes on them!
I cut this one out and pop dotted (ha!) it to death to make
it stand up on the white paper. I painted the edges of the
chipboard letters and sanded a bit. Rubbed a few
of the Calypso rub ons anad waa laa...there's my
card which is about a 5x5 in size....


For the next 2 I made them "mini" cards. Here's my first one:
a cute little gift card to put on top of any gift, or to send!
my last one....
it's about a 3x3 and I rounded the corners of the gorgeous Calypso
cardstock! (must have...yum!), stacked some rub ons on each other,
added a button for dimension and tied that beautiful Bo Bunny ribbon on
the edge.
Thank you SO much Bo Bunny for this opportunity!
I ADORE this line...Calypso. Working with this line was a dream!
Check out the BO BUNNY BLOG for more inspiration!
Oh! And check back here on MY blog tomorrow to see the minibook
I created...(and a giveaway!!!)
