Bo Bunny Gypsy Paper...Card Challenge

For the remainder of January, we have decided to shine a spotlight on Bo Bunny's Gypsy Collection.  Our assignment this week is to create a card.  No sketch involved.  It is all about your style, your way.  The only must have, is paper from the Gypsy Collection.  Leave a comment below and let us know what you think.  Do you have this paper at home? Do you have a card using this paper?  Show us what you have created by using Mr. Linky below.  Post a link back to your blog, showing us your Bo Bunny Gyspy Collection Card.

December Layout Challenge Week 1 "Three B's"

Happy December! We at Platinum Scraps would like to say a warm hello to Myra Mierria, our guest designer for December! HI Myra!!!

Myra lives in Atlanta, Georgia with her family and is a working mom and business owner.  She’s been scrapbooking and paper crafting since 2004 and enjoys learning new techniques and sharing her creations with her family and friends. For two years, she taught and designed for a local scrapbook store until it closed in August of this year.  She also designs for her favorite challenge blog, Glue, Scissors, Paper, which is on an indefinite hiatus.  She uses some of her precious vacation time to travel to paper arts events around the country.  A long time fan of Platinum Scraps and its awe inspiring creations, Myra is honored to be this month’s guest designer!

The first challenge for this month was a recipe. Each designer had free reign to create any type of project but whatever the project, it had to follow the recipe.

Time Out Thursday

P-Kay Sunshine shares a gypsy tip.  I got my gypsy at the launch in September.  I have enjoyed being able to design my layouts and cards prior to cutting.  Here is how I design my layouts.

For a 2 page layout, I use the 12x24 mat and add each item and its shadow like I want it on the paper.  I make sure each item is grouped with its shadow.  Here is the completed layout on the gypsy screen.

I then move everything to the right side of the screen so that it is only on one 12x12 mat.  Make sure you move the items grouped.

I change the mat size to 12x12 and copy/paste each image on several pages.  This particular layout ended up being 5 pages.

Here is everything bunched togeter on the 12x12 mat.

Here are the 5 pages after I copied/paste on seperate pages for cutting.

I love doing my layouts and cards this way.  It is so easy and it allows me to tweak my projects to make them just right.
