...if it wasn't attached LOL - you might want a cuppa, quite a long post to follow...
I took these photos a couple of weeks ago and completely forgot to post them. It was something that I'd been working on for a while so I don't know why I forgot.
A good couple of years ago I attended a crop at Artbase and the day's kit was a Bo-Bunny concertina minibook in a tin...I gave that one to a friend who wanted something a bit different to give to her boyfriend. Then in January last year, Artbase had a fab sale. They were having a big clear-out and Emma found lots of leftover kits from past crops...one of which was this kit so I bought one.
I've been meaning to sit down and get this done ever since and now at last it is done...
The tin is approx CD size and part of the outside decoration is a cigar-band wrap type closure.
The minibook inside is actually attached to the inside of the tin - both the base & the lid. One of the things I remembered from doing Bo-Bunny class kits in the past was the instruction to ink all the edges. We used to laugh about this at the crops...if you cut it, you had to ink it...I was very tempted not to ink this one but then thought it would spoil it if I didn't.
I have always loved Bo-Bunny kits as they have great illustrated instructions and everything you need (except glue, ink & photos) is included in the kit. The PPs are always good quality and I love the embellies & trims that they include.
Bo-Bunny seem to think of everything when they put these kits together...colour co-ordination between the PPs, CS, ribbons etc. is always fab. They also include pre-printed journalling for those folk who don't find it very easy to journal in their scrapbooks.
There is plenty of interest created by the use of stickers, matt & layering and there is always plenty of space for lots of photos - usually in a variety of sizes.
Although only one side of the concertina is decorated there is scope to use the back side of the pages as well.
I'm not sure what I'm going to use this for but it was something I really enjoyed doing and I'm so glad I was able to get a replacement for the one I gave away.
I think it was showing a friend the little decorated tin from the card workshop last week that reminded me that I hadn't posted this otherwise who knows how long it would have been before I remembered.
Really, what am I like...................................

Lovely mini book and a great idea to keep it in a protective tin. Thanks for sharing your lovely work :)
Toni that is absolutely gorgeous - so glad you got around to sharing. The kit looks amazing too! Hope you're having a great friday - I'm having a mass blog catch up at the moment!

That's lovely Toni. I love Bo Bunny products but I've never bought a kit before. Might have to change that! :D
