I have been a doodler for years .... way too long to remember when I actually started.. anyway, I can remember my son coming home from School one day and asking me not to doddle on his school papers.. .and I told him to not lay them down where I was sitting ... as I would doodle on them.!!!! So I will doodle on anything that is around me, unless it is in my studio.. then paper is safe and sacred there!!!!
So I doodled so many doodles that I finally decided to publish a few books with SOME of them... there are over 13 books I think... maybe a few more.. .can't really remember... I also published a few more too.. .one with poems written by my Grandfather, a couple of Tea Bag folding books, and Cook books.. where each page is a collage and the recipe is also on that page... what fun I have in my studio.. making all kinds of things..My books can be seen and bought at this address...

Enjoy seeing them all there..
So Back to my doodles.. I took a few, and printed them out to try putting on a few cards... here is the first of them... this doodles name is Butterfly on a plant... so I had to include a butterfly..
This card was used for a couple of challenges.. one was the color combination and then also the one called Clean and Simple... Even though I really didn't follow the theme of that one being a Disney theme... a butterfly is Disney enough... right???
I used my trusty Spellbinders, and also my dotted swiss cuddlebug embossing folder... ( I do have most of the folders... but there are favorites..) The only other thing that I really used here is my outlining gold pen...
But I do want to talk about the butterfly...
How to make one of these... I used a gold outlined sticker.. you can find them in a lot of places... if you have trouble ... please write to me and I will help you.. anyway... you take some Copper mesh screening and burnish it with a heat gun... then put the gold outlined sticker on it, and cut it out... how beautiful it makes both... and it is strong and elegant on any card...
I had to have a butterfly visit this doodle...
Hope you enjoyed this... and thanks again for visiting my Blog... I hope you are enjoying it...
Love, Light and Peace... Bonnie
