Bo Bunny Fall 2009 Collections

November 04, 2009 // kristen // 0 replies

Bo Bunny recently released three new collections for fall 2009, and each one has its own flavor and charm. I’m totally a sucker for that distressed look when it comes to scrapbook paper, so naturally I instantly fell for the patterns in the Snowy Serenade collection. Plus, the blue and berry toned palette is beautiful:

The Persuasion collection is filled with bright pinks, blues, and greens and features trendy birdcage, stylized floral and, my favorite, whimsical frame motifs:

And the Love Bandit collection lots of super kawaii patterned papers featuring bright pink, chartreuse, and soft teal hues. Eep, love the cutie patootie raccoons and deer! This collection also features cute stamps, rub ons, and other embellishments that you’ll want to check out:

Louella Press Ornament Cards

The Bold Tidings ornament series features bright, modern pattern and design:
