Xyron and Bo Bunny - Day Five and a Giveaway!

While we are sad to see this Xyron/Bo Bunny week come to an end - we are THRILLED with all of the great projects that we've seen over the last few days. Thank you to all of the talented designers who shared their ideas with us! To end our week we have traded in traditional scrapbook pages and card ideas for some altered/home decor pieces using the Bo Bunny Trail Mix collection.

Sharon Callis walks us through the process (and shows us all of the completed pages!) of making this fun mini album on her blog - for those of you going camping or doing something outdoorsy this weekend, this album would be perfect!

We love the idea of making practical things pretty...and Jen Goode does just that with these super cute pinwheel and bird toppers (and even the pencil holder to put them all in). On her blog she gives you instructions on how to complete ALL THREE projects!

We've always known that Xyron machines are perfect for altering everyday items - and Stacy Rodriguez proves us right with this cool wooden plaque! This would be a GREAT Father's Day gift idea - and on her blog Stacy shares a "how-to" with you.

On the Bo Bunny blog today they have a GREAT "old school" Xyron story, some wonderful projects, and a giveaway!  Be sure to head on over and check out all the goodness!  We've got ONE more giveaway to end out the week...we are giving away another Xyron 2.5" create-a-sticker to one lucky reader - and you've got all weekend to enter!  Leave a comment here and we'll announce the winner on Tuesday on the Xyron Facebook Page.

Have a wonderful and safe holiday weekend!  As you celebrate with your friends and families this Memorial Day please remember the brave men and women of our armed forces who gave their lives in service to this country, and the families they have left behind.  We are forever grateful!

Xyron and Bo Bunny - Day Four!

The Xyron Design Team members are crazy for Bo Bunny! All week they have been sharing their fabulous projects with us...and today they bring you three more ideas that are sure to inspire you!

Mini albums are so much fun when you have coordinating paper and embellishments to play with - on her blog today Ann Corbiere-Scott shows us how to make this cool 3-d accordion album using a die, a few scraps of paper and some embellishments from the Bo Bunny Key Lime collection.

Just thinking about two page layouts can sometimes be enough to cramp our creativity...so on her blog Shannon Morgan walks us through how to make this fun layout that is not only two pages, it uses LOTS of photos!

Speaking of layouts - the Bo Bunny Trail Mix collection is perfect for your camping/fishing/outdoor photos - and Liz Qualman shares a great one with us on her blog along with some great tips for combining products from different companies on the same project.  Love the result!

Don't forget to head on over to the Bo Bunny blog all week long for some awesome project ideas (they are having some great giveaways too!) - and if you didn't enter our contest yesterday, you've still got a chance to win a Xyron 2.5" create-a-sticker!

Xyron and Bo Bunny - Day Three and a Giveaway!

We are halfway through the Xyron/Bo Bunny blog hop...and the fabulous projects keep on coming!  We hope you have been inspired - take a look at what we have for you today:

Xyron DT member Van Nguyen recently moved to Hawaii, so she can use the Bo Bunny Key Lime collection all year round...lucky girl! On her blog today she shares some tips on creating this great layout AND an aloha sign that she created for her new home, as well as a quick sticker chart she created with her scraps!



Speaking of scraps...party favors are a great way to use up your stash - as Angela Ploegman shows us with these summertime themed ideas!



We love mini albums - and Linda Neff has a great tutorial on her blog today showing us how to make a garden mini album using Bo Bunny's Trail Mix collection.  We never would have thought to use this collection for something other than hiking/camping - so THANK YOU Linda for the idea!!


Head on over to the Bo Bunny blog today where they have a FABULOUS tutorial of their own on mini albums, as well as some great giveaways!  You know we love free stuff!

Did someone say free stuff?  We've got some free stuff for you too!  We want you to get started on your summertime projects - so we are giving away a Xyron 2.5" create-a-sticker to a lucky reader!  Just leave us a comment here and we will announce the winner on the Xyron Facebook Page on Friday.  Happy crafting everybody!
