New Cards with My flowers

I have been having fun with these flowers... and hope that you enjoy them... I love my new K and company papers too.. so combining them... a real pleasure... This little bunny with the Pussy Willows was begging to go onto this card... so I had to use him... isn't he adorable... so cute... and with a bouquet of willows on top of it...

I took a closeup of the flowers, so you could see the added textures the dimensional pearls give to a flower. I have used a Designer one in the color of straw for the center and then used a pearl one in lavender for the petals... really a nice accent to the flower...

Of course a lot of punching going on... and I love these punches too... I guess I have a lot of loves in my life all the time!!!!! Did you notice the little bird on the tag... more on tags down in the next area... read on for more info on tags...
What a fun place for me... my studio is a great hang out for me.












Here is another card with the same little flower..

Different color, but the same.. with another sheet of paper from another K and Company pad.. this one came from Madeline a favorite pad with so many different pretty papers... and so is the next card... but that one has some pretty glitter on it... I love to add delicate bows to the cards... just gives a finishing touch.. and then added some pearls and it is done...


Thanks for stopping by today... and please do come back for more... I am always creating something... Love, Light and Peace...Bonnie

My Own paper flowers

I love flowers of all kinds.... real ones, silk ones, pressed ones, and paper ones... and I have been making flowers with paper since I was a kid... I am sure you can remember making flowers with Tissues... and you would put color on the edges using your moms rouge!!! Boy that was a thing of the past... rouge??? Last year I became excited to learn how to make flowers with punches... and bought all the needed punches to create tons of flowers... I love them on cards... and enjoy making them... but I wanted my own flowers too. So I started to make some.
Here are some of the cards I have made so far with some of them.

The Turquoise flower one has a green leaf wreath ... Y didn't cut the center out, as I wanted the gold flecks to show... I love splattering the gold paint onto the finished product... that is why I love these Twinkling H20's so much... This card was for the sketch challenge on Wednesday... and I love the use of the triangular shape in the background... allows for more texture to be added and also additional colors. So I did one in white that was run thru the cuddlebug dotted swiss folder and then another new paper from K and Company...

Each flower is actually two flowers, layered to give the full look. And in the center of each flower I put a half pearl and then added some Stickles diamond dust by Ranger... Love the look this has in real life... very glitter and yet not trashy looking... so many times when you add a glitter to something it is not pretty... it starts to look trashy and I dont' like that at all..

Behind the lattice I have a scrap of paper that has been painted with H20's also.. I just can't throw away a tiny piece of paper that has been painted... and this was just the size I needed for that space... so I got to use it. I punched some Vellum with a Marvy Butterfly punch... and added some pearls and this was a wrap...
Another type of flower.. and also another leaf arrangement... this one is an arch of leaves and the flower is sort of cross between an aster and a daisy... This is another card I did for the same challenge... I had to get my bird punch in this one... and color them with a gold pen...
My friend Victoria gave me this punch... that I think I have said prior on this blog that I never would have bought for myself... even for a $1.00... it is the little tag punch... by Fiskars... and I love it... I have been using it a lot... I love the tininess of it ,and have so many stamps that fit into this space... I love it for a small greeting of some kind... You will see some other ways I have used it too in other cards.. thanks again Victoria.. I do love it.
This is the same flower as above... but with different coloring... and then here it is with White... just cut out... again these are also layered in twos for that dimensional look... and I added some colored dimensional Pearls by Ranger... I have all the colors and love them all.. I use them for so many different accents... on lots of things... a must in my cabinet of things to have.
Thanks for taking a look at my cards... have a wonderful day... and enjoy every minute of it...

Love, Light and Peace... Bonnie

Happy Monday

Well today started off really weird... I went onto the Challenge for the day and started to make comments... and all of a sudden on NancyRuth's card, she stated if was for JUDI Rose... as she was the Stamper of the day on Sunday's Featured stamper... oh my goodness.. being that she is friend... I had missed her DAY.... Well I couldn't have done a card and put it up anyway... as on Sunday's you have to be a member to put cards up... and I wasn't a member... but I just became one... $25.00 and it will help to pay for the site.. .so that is good... and my cards will go up to the site QUICKer now... hopefully anyway..

So this card is for JUDI... you have to go to the Featured stampers gallery and choose a card to case... that means to look at their cards and choose one that you are going to copy and change at least two things... which is what I did.. I changed the color from yellow to pinks... and then Judi had stamped some Daffodils... and I also added this to the Challenge for today... (which was to create something from punching... ) so I punched out some flowers, and then stems... added a tine pearl half to the center .. and added some oval and circles cut from spellbinders... Used some K and Company paper and also one that a friend gave me... thanks Victoria... love this sheet...

I added a couple of corners... Judi's were done a little bit differently.. .but I made my fancy.. .I used a corner punch by Fiscars first... and then cut the corners out... the corner punch by Fiskars not only cuts out the details, but also embosses it... nice corner punch... (see Debbie... a plug for Fiskars too... ) So please forgive me Judi for not getting the card done yesterday... but I am proud of you and all the lovely cards you have created... they are all fantastic... one is prettier than the other.. .I had a hard time picking out one to case...

Hope you like this one...
Now todays challegne, Holly told us to drag out the punches and create something... some of the gals are creating all kinds of wild cards... click here to go see some of them... leave some comments too... we all love to hear your opinion...

Okay, so I had started to work on this card ... and really didn't know where to take it... so I added some punched things on the sides... This card was created from a Template that I found on my friend Penny Wessenauer site... she is a very creative person... and has been in my life for over 7-8 years now... not really sure, but when you have a good friend... who counts the years... right...??? Go to her site, and she has all kinds of fun things... you will have fun..
Penny and I created a CD a few years ago of Tea Bag tiles, and pictures... we had a lot of fun doing it... I by the way had created about 30 prior to this one... and so I wanted to add Penny into my CD's... so we did a joint one CD... but Penny has kept on making 3D cut outs and also tea bag tiles to match them all... a very creative person... in so many ways.. So this is one of her cards... you will find it somewhere on her site... just keep on looking you will find it..
I drew these leaves, and painted them with Twinkling H2o's... and added the punches flowers... the little girl was painted with h2o's also... and then cut out... OMG.. she is very small..

I added her onto the backgrounds and also added some dotted swiss... what a fun card...



This little girl doens't need too many words to say HOW CUTE is THIS one.. ???
I added some small sunflowers... and some leaves and gold threads... used my newest Craf-t chalks... and added some black pearls.. Of course I had to add some paper lace.. what else would I do.. .

Hope you have enjoyed these... thanks for stopping by my blog today... and hope you have a wonderful day... it is sunny here... and getting warmer as I type...

Love, Light and Peace...Bonnie

Wiper Cards

Oh my goodness... I have loved making a lot of cards.. but have never had so much fun as I did with this style of card... The first day that Brenda and I made this card, we had so very much fun... When you open the card, the little wiper comes up and shows you another whole side to the card... just adorable...
So I taught the group how to make these... so very much fun.. .I have to remember to take my camera to group so I can take pictures of all the pretties that they make too... so I can share them with you also...

WE also made Candy match books, and also tiny little Easter Baskets... that you can hold in the palm of your hand...


We did have a fun time.. and we are looking for more fun things to do at the next meeting.. I think I have a couple already...

Again I used my new K and Co paper on these two cards also...

I am going to be playing again all day today... new projects... so hopefully I will be able to share some more new things tomorrow or the next day..

Have a wonderful week-end... and look down below at all the other things we did at our group meeting... Love, Light and Peace...Bonnie

Folded card


Another card that we made at the group meeting was this folded card... wow... what a struggle that was... but we all got it done somewhat... and hopefully some of the gals will do it again...

I happened to love it.. .so I will be creating a few more...

I added a pansy and some Spellbinder eyelet pendant work... and then a border in Martha Lace..

Thought you would enjoy seeing this one too..
Love, Light and Peace... Bonnie

Cards for Ellen

Ellen brought to the meeting all the new Chalks that she has created for Craf-t Chalks... they are all so very pretty... well she said we could take as many sets as we wanted to, but we had to make a card for each set we took... no problem at all...

Each card was to represent the chalk set... so the one on the left is named Summer Sea... so I did a sea scene... what else could I do with these wonderful colors to show it off any better.. they are perfect for this scene...

I used a punched background with my Martha punches and then added another background that I had created with my spellbinders and Cuddlebug folders... then added the picture that I had chalked and also cut out with my spellbinder...

Then I felt it needed some additional touches and added the ribbon, and the terns, and shell... what a fun scene this is... I can remember when our daughter was that age, playing in the sand.. So cute...


This set is called Butterfly kisses/Dragonfly Dreams.... so I had to do a Dragonfly one... and this stamp just jumped into my hands... it is by Impression Obsession and I love it... so I chalked that all up... and loved the way the new little applicators worked to get the chalk into the small areas... Great going Ellen...

I punched a background with one of my new sets of punches that Marie bought for me... she is always so good to me... getting these are 40% off... at Michaels...

The card is simple and yet elegant for these rich colors...
This one is called .... you guessed it... Garden Blooms... and so I had to create this one with all these adorable tulips... again another new punch... and colored them with all these delicate colors...

Added some top flowers, which again the smaller bloom is another new punch... a few butterflies and I love it... I also had to add a bow to this one...

This is a fun yet difficult fold.. .but I think I got it down now...


I still have one more set of chalks to play with... and then Ellen has to get the 5th set to me... I didn't 'grab' fast enough... for the 5th one... ooops... I can wait though I think.. .

Hope you enjoyed these.. .these colors should be at your local stores soon.. .if not request them... they will get them for you

Have a fun time using these new chalks.. .they are so versatile for so many of our needs..
Love, Light and Peace...

Whipperstampers Meeting

Oh the other night we had our monthly Stamp group meeting... we call our selves the Whipperstampers...

We do all kinds of fun things there ... and tonight I taught a few things... I gave everyone quite a few to choose from and we made a lot of them...

This one we didn't get around to, but we might next time... this was a butterfly card... and if we do it next time, then I will show you the inside... which is the part I didn't like the way it turned it... so we decided to wait and see if I would perfect this part...


Anyway here are two cards with Butterfly paper from some of the new K and Company paper that I got... oh it is so wonderful... I do love that paper...

I used some smaller butterfly punches to create the butterflies and then made some apricot flowers to match... love it... I also put this into the CBC Challenge... so Anne if you see this and I need to put it some other place please tell me... Thanks...

Hope you enjoyed all these cards...
And that you have a wonderful week-end ahead of you... create something wonderful for YOU...
Love, Light and Peace... Bonnie

LOVE these colors !!!!

Two of my very favorite colors combined are Turquoise and Lime... oh my goodness... and to have a pad of paper with all different papers mixable and matchable... OHHHhhhhh what a sheer delight... I am in heaven...

so I started to play with the pad the other day, and made this card... and then today, when Roxie put the new sketch challenge up, I started to work in the same patterns...

With the newest one, I made the little bird to match the background paper... Added some Stickles to the feathers for accent and also added some Liquid Pearls to the daisy centers... some dew drops... and I was done with these two cards... onward... I have the rest of the pad to play with... I still haven't even used all of these three papers yet... a piece of paper goes a long way... and can make a lot of cards...

Hope you have a wonderful day... sunny and bright where ever you are... and if it is not.. light a candle and pretend it is.. as the light should always be shining where you are creating... See you in a while... with some more pretties... Love, Light and Peace... Bonnie

A fun time

When I am playing with paper it is always a fun time for me... On Tuesday I had some things on my work table and started to put together some cards... this one is one of them... It is the Easter Girl Bunny...

How cute is she... I love her...

Using some punched, the oval Spellbinder set, and a simple ribbon I was able to create a Clean and simple card... getting easier for me all the time..

BUT then I went to the Midnight Madness Sketch Challenge and Phyllis had this really dynamic sketch.. and so I created this card... using the colors from the Color challenge as well.. (which were plum, plum mist and cocoa... so you can see them as well..

I used my Martha Stewart punch and also created some other little flowers to put next to the large one.. added some punched borders and a few pearls and was done.. Hope you have fun visit here...
Love, Light and Peace...Bonnie

Match Books

Todays Challenge on trying a new technique we made Match books.. I have made them prior to this, but I always made small ones... these are small... but not as small as the ones I made... so I had a blast with these... Each on of these is decorated on the inside, and each one has a pocket in it.. to put a nice little secret message, a piece of candy or just something special.. .how cute are these...

They are simple enough to make and are just so easy... I used stickers on some.. cut out and spent an hour on others.. just had a blast...

Hope you enjoy them as much as I had fun making them... Thanks to the hostess today, Holly, who comes up with very awesome ideas... but this one... I really loved playing with today... Thanks again Holly...

Hope you all have fun and stay around and take a look at all the other things I have fun with...
Love, Light and Peace... Bonnie



Clean and Simple

Now this is truly a very difficult challenge for ME... I have a hard time doing things Clean and Simple.. and every Tuesday I try to do a Clean and Simple card.. this week I think I have done it...

I studied a lot of other cards... cased some, and then added my own to each one... so here they are...

The one on the left... well I did get a little carried away with all the layers.. .but it is still clean and Simple... right??? I added a few of my flowers... and a bow... not a fussy bow... a simple bow.







This one I get a little bit better with... I still have a lot of layers, but wanted the all white and a few little birds... the challenge also had a Theme of SPRING...

I am so in the mood for spring.. .and today, I did feel it in the air.. .I even had on a short sleeve shirt... and nothing else... felt so very nice... WE had BLUE sky that is so typical of North Carolina, and it was spring feeling.. .only a little while, but it was enough to let me know that it is coming... and that made me feel really good..









These two cards... I just had to try this out... a little point on Vellum, and I used some patterns from Some Assembly Required... Love that companies patterns... and then I framed them.. .added a butterfly.. and an embossed background and they were cards... no bows, just as is... This was to make the point relief's stand out... which I think they do...

















Hope you enjoy these... I think I have finally figured out how to create Clean and Simple... now if I remember that is another story... LOL...

Have a fun time here... snoop around and see every thing... and hope you come back again..
Love, Light and Peace... Bonnie..

Inspirational Saturdays

Always a good time with these challenges.. and today is no different at all..

WE went to this gallery where there were a lot of bird pictures and nature things... so these were the cards that I made from that inspiration...

The one on the left.. I had so much fun with as I hadn't made a mushroom since the 60's... so I enjoyed that greatly... add these other components to the card...

I did something that I have never done before and that is to make a chickadee into another type of bird... but I did it... and they look a little funny, but the other birds looked like this..




Now this card... oh my goodness I had so much fun with this one.. I made about 10 different backgrounds until I finally got this one...

I have a lot of backgrounds to use for other cards.. that is for sure... I started out with glossy paper and with stamps and resist I started to play... first with alcoholic inks... no go.. .didnt' get the look I wanted at all... then with reinkers... both of these are by Ranger ... the only kind I use by the way.. .

I finally got some that I liked and this one was the best... and the color was one I was looking for also..

The little bird at the bottom was not the shape I really wanted, but it worked...

I love all my new K and Company paper... and this piece was yelling to be used with this resist card... so it got used... I also had to punch some orange birds out and put them on the inside... had to do it..

Hope you enjoyed these cards... I certainly had fun making them...

Thanks for stopping by... and have a wonderful day... I am looking out at new blanket os snow... and it is really a beautiful sunny day... I bet most of it will be melted by tonight... good thing... I need spring to arrive... and it is going to do it real soon.. .

Love, Light and Peace...Bonnie

Wow... Judi Rose just sent me a wonderful gift of Happy 101... Thank You Judi you made my day..
Along with it, I have to tell my 10 favorite things in my life... wow... that could take me an eternity... but I will keep it light on the writing...

1... ME... I am happy with me.. I have been healing for the past 10 years and am finally coming around to really being happy with me,... and my body is now healing... I love me... I love my art, I am happy with ME.... I love people of all kinds and find happiness when they are happy...

2... The love of my Life... my husband of 40 years... almost 41... Happy, loving and fun filled years... raising two children and all kinds of critters...

3... Our Children... even though our daughter is not in our life at this time, we still have two wonderful children that have both made positive lives for themselves...

4.. All my Paper friends... When we lived up north there was never anything like paper groups... there were quilting groups of which I participated in all the time... but this paper.. oh my goodness... I love it....

5... All my friends that have helped me to express myself in so many ways.. with my book publications, with my doodles, with my life..

6.. I love to cook, and to create different recipes for us and others to enjoy... I have created over 100's and 100's of vegan recipes and right down to cakes and even mock tuna dishes... love it all.. we are now eating meat sometimes... but only organic that we raise... and also eggs that we raise.. hopefully a little dairy soon again..

7.. I am happy when I see the spring come with all the flowers .... in my yard Judi, I have not been able to physically plant any... but when I look out any window of our home I see azaleas lining the property... on the other side of the azaleas there are trees all the way around the house... but the azaleas and other small flowering shrubs speak loudly in the spring... we also have about 5 or 6 large magnolia trees... and also cherry, plum, and huge dogwood trees ... one has a stem on it that is huge... and when it blooms it is the deepest pink/red I have ever seen.. almost a magenta... very beautiful... white dogwoods and pinks... but the outstanding flowers are the multi colored azaleas... pinks, lavenders, oranges, whites, and all sizes from 10 feet tall to some that are only about 4 feet tall... a wall of color surrounds my home...

8.. Another very happy thing in my life is our farm.. We have over 100 chickens that lay eggs for others to enjoy...which we do sell at a co-op in Hendersonville ... WE also grow most of our food for ourselves and also for others to enjoy... all organic... all 100% whole foods...

9. I am happy in the fall when I see all the colors appear on the trees... it is like a painting in nature ... I love it.. Trees are a favorite of mine as well as flowers... daisies are my #1...

10... I am happy when I get a box... especially a box filled with all kinds of new toys... my favorites can go on and on.. .the list is way too long... but you get the idea.. I love life...

Even though we presently don't have any critters inside.. we hopefully will soon.. we both are animal lovers... and have always had them with us... and not generally just one.. cats, dogs, birds, you name it... we have had it... and love them all..

Thanks Judi again... and I will pass this along to these four friends... Vicky Gould, Nancy Ruth, Patricia Rose and a gal that is not active on SCS, but does play with paper all day and night ... Kimberly Hellams... Thanks again Judi for this great honor and I pass this along to these 4 gals..

Hope you all have a wonderful week-end...
Love, Light and Peace... Bonnie

Presidents Day


Today the challenge was to create a card that was a reminder of a president... in some way... so I needed to make a Valentines card for my sweetie, so I did this as a combination card...

George Washington, Abe Lincoln and others all had horses as pets... George's horse was named Nelson... and my maiden name was Nelson... so I combined this will the card..

Glenn's love for horses has been a life time love... when we had the Belgium's he loved every minute of it... we even brought Pinkie (who this is suppose to look like) with us to North Carolina... he died on our farm and is still here in body mind and spirit...

I used my spellbinders to create the background and the hearts that the horse is holding... The buttons were an add on, as were the black pearl eyes... The bow... Cranberry Satin... oh so pretty... I love that ribbon.. so rich looking...

Hope that Glenn loves this.. I know he will, as he is my biggest fan..

Thanks for taking a look and stopping by for a visit...
Love, Light and Peace... Bonnie

A fun day with a DEAR Friend

Thursday is always a good day for Brenda and I to play... she works nights (Sunday, Monday and Tuesday) at the hospital... and she recovers on Wednesdays... and then on Thursday's she is ready to PLAY...

Sometimes we spend our time together making Christmas cards... we are trying to make 10 a month.. so that by November we will be ready to mail them out... YES!!!!

Anyway.. I do get carried away sometimes... yesterday we made all different kinds of goodies... I had gone into the archives of SCS and had found some things for us to play with...

We made this wiper card... I made it for a person who loved giraffe's and Brenda made it for her sister... who also loves giraffe's..... and it was fun to make.. Brenda doesn't like to do all the cutting out that I love to do, but she was a good sport about it, and cut her's all out too.. WE used little black pearls to make the eyes look so life like... they are so cute...

We sat and made the giraffe pop up about 10 times... it is so cute... we loved making this card...


Brenda and I both have the same horrible habit of not using our papers ... so yesterday she had her new pile of papers... and we used more of our New K and Company papers... what fun.. .

We made this cute little box... with the lid... and since we made the boxes 4X4 inches all kinds of goodies will find their way into this charmer...

Even some pictures... or some trinkets of some kind... what a fun project... and the entire project took only 2 plus a little bit more to completely finish...

Of course then I wanted the flower for the top.. so that took a little more again... but what a fun project this was...


OH.... what a cute little basket this is...
So dainty... it will fit into the palm of your hand.. just enough for a handful of jelly beans... so cute...

We each made one and just enjoyed this one greatly...

WE also made mild cartons for someone special in our lives ... and Brenda took her's home as a pattern so she can make more...

A really fun day for both of us...
Thanks again Brenda for coming over to Play...
I always enjoy our days... but yesterday seemed extra special...

Thanks to all of you for visiting my blog of fun paper crafted times... I love having you visit..
Love, Light and Peace... Bonnie

Wednesday's Challenge

Sketch Wednesday's are always a good source of layouts to use for other cards... this one might seem very simple, but you can really create some really nice designs with this one... three layers, and then three items down the center...

Easy and yet so GREAT... love this one.. .might make some Christmas cards using this one...

Anyway.. I got out some of my new K and Co papers... and created these two cards... they are SPRING in feeling.. I just wish the weather would hear it...

I made the flowers with punches... and then added some beads for the centers in the Dogwood flowers..

Hope you have a nice warm day... even if you are having snow.. think SPRING...

Come on back for another visit soon... love having you visit..

Love, Light and Peace... Bonnie

Midnight Madnees Sketch Challenge

Another Tuesday Challenge.. but I wanted to make a really special card for this challenge... and I think I did... the sketch was really different with this wavy border.. and I wanted to try that and really emphasize the line... in real life (not a picture) you can really see it very clearly... I added the white eyelet to make it more pronounced and also added it as a flap, vs. part of the card... as the paper underneath it is so wonderful.. and I wanted you to able to see it all.. it has these most wonderful white flowers, of which I tried to copy... soft and delicate...

My flowers were made with a Spellbinders die.. and then I painted them with H20's and added some pearls... the color is called yellow, but they are a pale orange to me..

I used my H20's on the basket of flowers too.. with the little bird on the side... Some of Martha's punches are really starting to be more and more useful.. .I love them all..

This sketch didn't call for an easel card, but I really think they are such a lovely way to show off a design... so I tried to fit the sketch into this format... didn't totally succeed... but I still got most of it done right... I love it anyway... and it is a spring card... Trying so hard to THINK SPRING... maybe it will come sooner...

Thanks for stopping by... have a nice day.. and see you soon.. .
Love, Light and Peace..Bonnie

Busy Day when it's a Tuesday

Tuesday's are always so very busy... challenges galore ... here are three that I did in the morning...

This one was for the color challenge and also for the Tea Pot Tuesday challenge...

I called this one Woman with gold.. and even though the story with it was an add onto the going thread... I really wanted to portray that the original people had the knowledge of how to live in balance on the Earth Mother... a lot more so than modern man does... She had the GOLD of life, and was close to nature...

Making the paper beads is always a fun thing.. I love making them... and the little feather that is dangling is from one of our chickens... somethings they give up some of the prettiest little perfect feathers... this was one of them...

The papers... you guessed it.. new K and Company papers.. the one in the back... is really an embossed shiney paper one.. really very nice.. and so perfect for this card.. The colors we had to use were Chocolate chip, rust and sage... so I think I did that... and I love this woman.. she is great...


Okay... on the lighter note... the Tea Pot tuesday story took us to France.. and one male was trying to out wit another for the hand of the female prize... so what else... other than Champagne...

This is a 3D item.. .6 layers.. a lot of fun making these... so I always have some on hand to put onto cards.. When the time is right the theme will always allow me to use these...

Funny how somethings always work out isn't it.. .










This next theme... was Clean and Simple... a lot of white should be showing etc... and that is always hard for me to keep a card Clean and Simple... but I do like to try.. and I think I really did here...

We also were taken to a web site that sold 'penny, old fashioned candies' ... so all I could think about were Mary Janes... I was forbidden to eat them.. they always would pull out fillings, or loose teeth etc.. but I would still try and sneak some. Didn't you love them too???

Anyway... I cut the little wrappers into pedals and created a flower... cut out a leaf... and added a bow..

I used the little popped butterfly punch on the edges..

Perfect.. a CLEAN AND SIMPLE card... yeah.. I did it..

Thanks for taking a look today... come back and visit soon..

Playing with paper

The other day, I had some free time, and didn't really feel too good, so I sat down and played for a while...

These are a couple of the cards that I made...

This one on the left, I used a few pieces of scrap paper that I had edged with a gold pen... and put them together to create the background... and then mounted them onto a white punched border... a little ribbon, a few buttons, and I finished it...

I needed to do that... and it felt good.. so I went onto the next one..





This little girl needed to be put onto something.. so I colored her, and mounted her onto a piece of Turquoise glitter paper.. from K and Co. I love these new papers.. She was a cook, and she needed to have some chocolate.. .(I am really desiring some myself... but can't eat it... so I am really craving it.... so I thought maybe if I made a card with it, it would help.. and it did...well for a little while....)

I also love Martha's double heart punch... in fact I need to sharpen it already.. a little wax paper and foil never hurt any punch...

The saying... "I'd stop eating Chocolate, but I'm not a quitter" Oh well... soon I can have a little piece... maybe ...

The printed papers are also K and Co... but not new ones.. they just blended so well with the new ones... The little cup cakes have crystal Stickles on them... to make them inviting to eat!!!

Have a fun day, come on back to visit again... soon.. and thanks for taking time to visit my blog...
Love, Light and Peace...Bonnie
