It's time again for the Bo Bunny blog hop and I am so glad that you hopped on by. We have a brand new guest designer with us this month and when you complete the hop you will find out who she is. Let me give you a little hint to see if you can guess her name before the end.
Recently our June's guest designer celebrated her 17th wedding anniversary. She is also an excellent photographer.
Along the way you might find some fun blog candy so be sure to stop by each designer's blog. If you didn't get to start at the beginning then start here at Kristin's blog.
I really loved using Roughin It! on this layout. Those chipboard stickers are awesome. Can you see the fantastic detail and dimension that they give?
I also had a fantastic time altering the Bo Bunny alpha chipboard. I learned this little trick from one of the other girls on the team. I used my Cuttlebug Swiss Dots folder to create the texture. You ink the texture side of the folder with your favorite color and then put the chipboard letters in the folder and run it through your die cut machine. The ink will transfer to the letters and the texture will be embossed onto the chipboard letters.
Your next stop is Patti's blog. But before you leave be sure to leave a comment telling me if you like to camp or hike. I've got a special "mini" surprise for one lucky commenter.
Have a "hoppy" day!!
Hi Christine!
Just taking a few minutes to do some hopping!! :)

Hubby and I are taking our 3 kids camping 4 times this summer. I love the outdoor time, but I hate the laundry after!!

I love to camp and hike! but only for a couple nights, then you feel to gross and dirty, but less than a couple nights is hardly worth it! Love the roughin' it line, can't wait to use it for some camp pics!

Like to hike AND camp with the kidos! I did a lot of this as a child too. Have a wonderful weekend!!
Posted by: Jennifer H. | May 28, 2010 at 09:04 AM

I really like this line, and your LO is so cute! I didn't know you could in the folders? what a great idea! we LOVE to go Camping and do every summer as much as we can.
Posted by: Teresa fulton | May 28, 2010 at 09:06 AM
OMG I love the idea of how you did your chipboard letters. I have never seen or head of that. I love it and can't wait to finish the Bunny Hop so I can go and try it. I love to camp. I camped alot when I was young and even when I was pregnant with my child, during a hurricane. It was interesting to say the least. I will be back to see what your up to!!!!
Posted by: Tammy Hall | May 28, 2010 at 09:08 AM
I love to hike, but not camp! Too much work, unless someone else is bringing all the supplies. teehee

I like to camp. But when you camp you hike. Both of your layouts are awesome.

I love camping. We live just 30 minutes east of the rockies.

Love to camp and go hiking, grew up camping and enjoy the outdoors! Love your lo and that photo, he looks like he is holding that boulder!!

I enjoy hiking more. Nothing better than being outside with all the fresh air and little critters!

Now that our children are 3 and 6, we are starting to go camping this summer. The outdoors is a great place to learn and adventure
Posted by: Erika Taylor | May 28, 2010 at 10:55 AM
Great layout! I love to camp and hike. I get to hike in Yellowstone this weekend with the kids and "rough it" in a cabin-it's a bit too cold up there still to camp.
Posted by: Holly B | May 28, 2010 at 10:55 AM
Wonderful LO... love this Bo Bunny line - it would be perfect for all our camping and outdoors photos!
Posted by: DawneC | May 28, 2010 at 11:20 AM

Posted by: Heather Robertson | May 28, 2010 at 12:31 PM
Great LO Christine - I have been meaning to ink up my CB folders and try that technique too...I so badly want to do a hiking LO with Roughin It - how bad that I wish for a rainy weekend so I could scrap for three days! (LOL)
Posted by: Rita | May 28, 2010 at 12:34 PM

I love to take nature walks with my camera to capture the beauty of nature around me. And this roughin' it collection is perfect for scrapping these photos! :)
Posted by: Janeen | May 28, 2010 at 01:03 PM
What a precious LO!! It's like your photo was just made for this line! Perfect!
Posted by: nitasha | May 28, 2010 at 01:16 PM
WHat a great idea to use ink with the embossing folders! I am going to have to try that on out for sure!
Posted by: Kristal Flynn | May 28, 2010 at 01:33 PM
Well, not much of a camp or hiking kind of gal. Unless I can "camp" out on a deck chair of a cruise ship! Love your LO and the embossing idea. Going to have to try that one.
Posted by: shelly nichols | May 28, 2010 at 01:39 PM
Wow, love your layering with the Roughin' It papers, good technique tip too with the letters.
I'm looking forward to my camping trip this year; I'm turning 35 and it will be such a party at the campsite!
I'll be sure to hop back to your blog again to see what else you have been creating!
Posted by: Lorena Sollows | May 28, 2010 at 01:41 PM
Love the tip on the letters! I cannot wait to do some camping this summer and get some great pics to scrap with Roughin' It!
Posted by: Mandi | May 28, 2010 at 01:45 PM
I'm most definately not an outdoor person! i hate bugs and rain (which is all england ever gets - lol)
I love the papers so will have to suck it up and take my little man for the first time (he's 3) maybe i can learn to enjoy the outdoors! I've just bought him his first bike so maybe we can take that out with us!
Posted by: kacy | May 28, 2010 at 02:10 PM
Our families did a lot of camping when the children were little. Now my husband and I are anticipating buying a motor home so we can travel during our retirement years. We have a lot of good camping memories and look forward to a lot of RV memories.

I love to hike and I am blessed to live in the mountains where there are trails around every corner. Thanks for the chance to win!
Posted by: Kelly | May 28, 2010 at 02:16 PM
Great layout. Love the tip to distress the chipboard letters.
Posted by: Lori Sorrells | May 28, 2010 at 02:33 PM
Love your scrapbook layout! I love the outdoors but I don't love camping (we only have a tent)! Hiking is good! Thanks for a chance to win!
Posted by: Kelly Massman | May 28, 2010 at 02:40 PM
Great idea for putting texture on the letters. Great layout.
Posted by: Michel E | May 28, 2010 at 03:12 PM
I actually like to hike and camp so there is no choice it's both
Posted by: Janie Boots | May 28, 2010 at 03:16 PM
Just hopped onto your blog. I'm afraid I'm not a huge fan of camping or hiking - the weather here in the UK rarely makes sleeping under canvas a pleasant experience!
