Lucky Star

What a great day today is... not that every day isn't wonderful... but today is my Mom's 92 birthday!!!!  Happy Birthday Mom...  hope it is a good one and  there are many more in store for you.... 

Also tomorrow I will start to show you all my Christmas tags I have made.... over 24 of them... I never stop doing things... and since my gift wrapping hasn't started yet... I am sure there will be more coming.... so please check each day after 8.... that is when the post is scheduled to post.   

So today... another tag... and this time with the theme that Simon Says Stamp and Show has... which is STARS... and also Sunday Stamper.... Hels is also asking for STARS.... so STARS it is... 

I wanted to have a star that moved... why I don't know... but I did... and it was fun creating... but not so much fun to photograph it... I finally got it onto a plate holder... and was able to get a few good shots of it so that you can see it.... 

I used Tim Holtz's wonderful background stamp with holiday words... and clear embossed it... and then used Weathered wood Distress ink pad and blending tool to do the coloring on the tag ... then I put my paper images on there...  the little angel is an all time favorite vintage clip art piece... she will be appearing tomorrow too...  and then just a little piece of paper that was left over on my work table... LOL... love using little pieces of paper like that... I try not to throw too much away...  especially torn paper... love that the most... 

Okay.. then I cut a hole in the tag... and made 3 stars with my Spellbinder star set...  and colored them with Mustard seed ink and then some vintage photo around the edges... I used my stains to do this... worked really good...  I used a tiny punch to create the tiny little hole to put the jump ring into to.  And then hung it... some seam binding to accent the tag and was done... love it... and I know who is getting it too... a LUCKY STAR.... 

I also wanted to share with you another lucky something... I got my sewing room all cleaned up the other day... and hung up my scissor collection... I have been collecting scissors of all the women in my family for years.. My great grandmothers, my Nana's, my Moms, my daughters, and of course a few of my own... I also have my Mother In Laws scissors up there....  so here is what I did... 

A little seam binding tape, and up they went... a picture of my Great Grandmother who was very special in my life is there also... and my Mom's sewing basket!!!!  I also hung up a darning egg... you don't see them around too much anymore... maybe in antique stores... but women don't darn anymore...  so why would they one...  

I happen to love this area in my house... and since I am going to start to quilt this coming week I will be using this area more...  I have to make a couple of huge quilts for windows that seem to let in more cold air than we desire... french doors they are... and so at night time, I will put the quilts up and keep the cold out... during the day they will come down so we can look out at the wonderful views we have...  

I will share the quilts with you... as I go along... I have plans of creating my own fabrics by using stamps, inks, and you name it on each square... so we will see...  

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

Angel in the STARS

Oh my goodness... (a favorite saying)  what a week this has been here.... our daughter and her family came up for Thanksgiving... and we totally enjoyed our time together.. She and I got to play in the studio for a long time... having fun and creating a calendar page... you will see it after I get all the calendar pages collected from all my friends... it should be a really nice one...  we started out with 4 of us... and it grew to 11...  oh well... it will be a fun one... 

Then after they all left, I cleaned up around and came into the studio to get back onto my usual schedule... and also my FALL pre Christmas one... as I am in the throws of making all kinds of Christmas presents.... YEAH.... and so I started to work again on them.... took a little time to look at Ink On My Fingers Blog... as Hels always has something fun to do... and the theme was STARS... Oh I will make something for that... how can I not??? 

Then on Monday morning prior to getting started on my project on the workshop table... I took a look at Simon Says Stamp and SHOW... and low and behold... the theme... STARS... so I started to think of something that I could do and use with stars... a hard one right.... 

Well lets wait until Linda posts the Challenge on Grungy Monday... and when I read that... I had GREAT NEWS... I had won a journal by no other than TIM HOLTZ.... wow... what a fun thing to WIN.... yeah... yeah... yeah... I know that you heard me jumping and screaming.. so I wanted to tell you what it was all about...  

Please don't forget....starting on December 1st I will post 24 days of tags.... a new one each day.... and Tim Holtz will start his on December 1st also.. fun times of tags and ideas.... hope you will enjoy all the tags...  

What fun.. I can hardly wait to get it... I can also hardly wait to play with it... when I have the time to really do it...  

Well... back at the ranch... I got the piece worked out that I wanted to create... and it actually came out exactly the way I had dreamed it come out...  I love it... it will be for a special present .... 

An angel on a snowny night... with the stars shinning through the storm.... love it... have you ever walked in the snow and enjoyed every minute of it...  on a snowy night... use to love to walk the dog (or drag her if the snow was too deep and she refused to walk.... LOL)  in the snow... (actually if the snow was too deep I would carry the dog and put her down in a leveled off area to be a puppy... LOL)  

 Okay.... so I used a cuddlebug embossing folder to create the swirling winds... and then used Iced Spruce (one of the new winter distress ink pads... love this color... ) and colored the swirls... ever so lightly with the blending tool... and then went over the swirls with a Picket Fence Distress Stickles... oh what a pleasure to get the results you desire...  I cut the stars out with a spellbinder set of stars... and then also used Picket Fence on them.... and popped them up on to the tag... 
The Angel... is a vintage clip art from years ago... I love her.. I think I got her off a calendar... and she is so very sweet looking.. 

 On the bottom half of the tag... which I have to say is 6 X 3.5 ... which most of mine are.... I used a piece of holly that I cut using a Martha stewart punch... and that gave this angel something to stand on.... and put the seam binding bow and ribbon there for a nice accent... and also a place to pin the Token by Tim Holtz and also the Memo pin...  


Love the look of this little angel... and hope that she brings best wishes to the person who it is going to... 


Thanks for stopping by... and please go to these two challenges and see some of the other work that is being done...  
Love this fun filled loving time... Love, Light and Peace....Bonnie 

Special collection

I love to collect things… of all kinds … one of the collections that just started to form on its own was a collection of scissors from the women in our families… 

So all of a sudden I had 12 pairs of scissors… and wanted to display them someplace… so… what better place than my sewing room… 

One pair of scissors is from our daughter... when we had a business when she was growing up, she use to come into the workshop and TAKE scissors... finally one day I bought her a pair of her own.. had her put her name on them... and said these are YOURS... don't take any more from the workshop...   okay???  Well you know how kids are... and when she moved out we found at least 6 pairs of scissors in her room!!!  Wow... we struck it rich with scissors... anyway... it is a fond memory and so I put a pair of her scissors up there... the ones she had written her name on...  I kept them as a memory a long time ago now...  

I also have a pair of scissors from my Grandmother, mother and me... so there are actually 5 generations of scissors up there... 

I also had been given my Mom’s sewing basket… and when I was going thru it, she and I were talking about all the memories that each piece in the basket reminded us of… funny how some things really stick in your mind, isn’t it???

Well I also found a couple of wooden darning eggs… I don’t think people darn anymore… at all… but I do have two of them.. hung one up with the scissors…

One of the eggs is from my paternal grandmother who use to darn socks all the time... I think she loved to do it... and really did a beautiful job with it too... a pair of her scissors are up there too... 

My maternal grandmother use to sew everything by hand... dresses and all kinds of things... and this was during a time, when a lot of women had machines... but she was a woman of doing things herself at that time in her life... she had been pampered all her life until the depression and then lost everything she ever had... so she cherished things that she regained in her life... very dearly too... and her scissors were something she loved..  they are on the wall.. 

The picture is a picture of my Great Grandmother who sewed all the time… hemming cloth napkins, mending a shirt that she had made for my great Grandfather… all kinds of things… so I felt her picture needed to be there along with her scissors…  as a reminder of days gone by…

WE have really gotten away from so many things that women of yester year did… that is for sure…  and some of them are things we really need to know for this life…  but we have lost some of them…

Hope you have a fun day…  make sure you enjoy yourself in all ways… make a collection of something special and hang it up… or display it as a lovely reminder… 

Thanks for stopping by…

A little bit of a cone!!!

A few years ago I had a ton of these thick cardboard cones from my knitting yarn… and didn’t know what to do with them… so some of them ended up as angels… and some stood around different places collecting dust… LOL… not kidding either… I just couldn’t throw them away… so I finally decided to cover them all.. and hang them on the door knobs of each room on the upper level of our home…  

I used an organic tapestry to cover each cone…. And then used a nice thick natural cluny lace to trim the top of each cone… and a little narrow width bow for the point on the bottom…. Then I added a bouquet of flowers to each one… of course by the time I got all these finished, it was fall… and Christmas is right around the corner… so I also made some arrangements for those two seasons also!!! 

They are really a nice addition to the hall… or to the entrance of each room….

Thanks for taking a look today at my blog…  glad you stopped by for a visit…

Love, Light and Peace....Bonnie 

Happy Thanksgiving to You and Yours

Hope that you have  a WONDERFUL THANKSGIVING DAY.... 

With Love, Light and Peace...Bonnie  

 

A bird sitting on a poinsettia

Sometimes a tag, card or scrapbook page will go together really easy… and other times it takes a long long time… and it just never seems to be right… well this was on my work table for over 4 days… and finally when I added the bird… and put the bow on the birds neck… I fell in love with it… just one  (actually two little things )  made this all come together for me… I hope you like it too… 

I have two backgrounds…  as you can see…  some leaves… a spellbinder poinsettia… which that is truly a very very nice poinsettia…  I have made many… and love this … really nice…

A flower from Tim’s Tattered Floral die… my all time favorite flower maker…  using baby wipes… soft and yummy… love it all… yes I do… so much fun… 

I have to tell you this… the bird is cut out from a piece of scrap paper… it was going to be painted… but I love it just the way it is… it has the edges of being sprayed… you know what I mean… not really colored… not really clean… and it is just perfect of the belly of this adorable little bird… it is Tim’s from Caged bird die set… love it too… do you think I love too many things… LOL… I really do love a lot of things… including life and all around me… I am always trying to make it better… and it does get better each and every day… which I also LOVE….

Oh well… I better get off here now… Thanks for stopping by for a visit… and hope to see you tomorrow…  Happy Thanksgiving  to you and all of your family…

Love, Light and Peace....Bonnie 

Happy Thanksgiving to you..

Hope that you have a wonderful day... and enjoy it all... 
Love, Light and Peace....Bonnie

Snow Angels

Tis the season for a lot of things to happen… like snowmen!!!!  And weird weather… and the holidays…. All at once … Oh well… hope that this week all the people that are celebrating Thanksgiving have a wonderful day…

I know that our family is getting together… and we expect to have a lot of fun… 

Oh that note… I am busy getting ready… baking breads, muffins, pies… CLEANING… and all that fun stuff… but I had to take a break and make this TAG…. Yes… had to do this… it is for 3 Challenges…

Simon Says Stamp and Show…  use tickets…

Grungy Monday…. Use metal and Alcohol inks…

And Ink on my Fingers… Sunday Stamper… use a snowman…

Of course I had to think about getting all three of these together… and finally came up with this idea… it also had to be comical for me…  my requirement for the week… keep it light and funny…

So here is my tag… called Snow Angel…

On the tag is says…

Happiness is making a SNOW ANGEL in freshly fallen snow…  and that is what the snow man just did… he made a snow angel… what fun he must be having…  better than just standing in one position all the time… LOL…

Okay… so how I made this…  I used some HAC silver tape… the roll I have is about 2.5 inches wide… and I got it at Home Depot… $20.00… and it will make 1000 of tags… that is for sure… I ran it thru the snowflake embossing folder by Cuttlebug… and then used my alcohol inks to color the two strips… one in blues… and the other in Picket Fence!!!  Love it.. 

Then I put some picket Fence Crackle onto some paper…. For the bottom of the tag… and then made my snowman… I used a piece of scrap orange that had been painted with twinkling H20’s… and drew the eyes…  but picket fence stickles all over the snowmans face… to make him glisten with fun…

I cut a funny hat out… and put him together… 

I tore up the paper that I had used the crackle on… and layered it for snow… and then dyed some seam binding tape for the top….

What a fun tag… now I really have to get back to my chores around here… me grandson will be coming… and I have to hide the present I am making for him…  do you think a 7 year old would love a sticker maker of his own??? I  think I will have to buy him one… 

Have a good day… and talk soon… thanks for stopping by… and see you later on this week… like on Thursday there will be postings starting until Monday… and then I will have to do some more challenges…  YEAH…

Love, Light and Peace….Bonnie 

Alice in Wonderland in a HAT box

 I happen to really enjoy making ALTERED ALICE items for this challenge... .and already have quite a nice collection... since I love to share my things with friends that come to my studio and also on line, I thought I had better have a nice BOX to put all my Alice things into...  So... I looked through the house and found this nice large Hat Box... and decided to cover it... 

 The first thought was a pale blue patterned paper... and then I decided on the black and white theme... I love it... 

So Alice in Wonderland look...  don't you think??? 

Well I had this really neat little pad of black and whites... and then I cut cardstock up for the borders...  The black lace is a spellbinder die.. 

 Happens to be a favorite... Grande Lace...  really nice...  The rest is all the characters that I love to use..  


I also added some things... like this Wendy Vecchi watch... I added a small Alice in the watch... felt it belonged in there...  the rabbit was running down deeper.... 

 I made the Red Queen of Hearts Red Roses from .... 
You guessed it... my favorite all time ribbon... seam binding...  thanks again Shelly for getting me in touch with this stuff... love it... I think I am on my 6th roll... My grandson wants one for Christmas too... he is addicted to it also... LOL... he is only 7 and loves dying it...  Getting him mini misters too... starting him off with a set of 12... 

 I added a key by the door... had to do it... and the key... HEART... love it when a plan goes along the way it should... without even trying...  the key and hitch is from Tim Holtz's Ideology Line...  so many fun things.... have to have them all too...

 The top of the box has these two designs on it so far...  

Dont' know if you have guessed this or not... but this box is far from being completed... when I work on it some more... I will share it with you... it will be quite a handsome piece when entirely finished...  

It also will be filled up... I have two books and about 10 tags in there so far... and tons of room... this box is about 10 inches tall and about that in diameter.... it is one of the larger hat boxes of the set ones... love these boxes... can do so very much with them... I also found about 12 other hat boxes in the house... so I have a lot of projects ahead of me.... yes I do... 

Thanks for stopping by... and Lynne thanks so very much for posting all my entries into this fun Challenge... because I have dial up, it is impossible for me to use the linking system...  so Lynne posts my entries for me... and I really love her for doing this..  Thanks so very much Lynne...  

have a great day... and make something pretty... enjoy yourself... and have fun...  Love, Light and Peace...Bonnie  

A fun time

 Oh what fun we all had at Scrapbook Creations yesterday...  It was a fun day!!!  


Sande and I started out early and went to Hobby Lobby first... yikes... everything Christmas was 50% off... that was bad... we went in for stickers for a book Sande is working on... and came out with no stickers... but a lot of other loverlies...  then onto Scrapbook Creations where we met all our friends...  Marie, Cheryl came up from Charlotte, and Beverly and her friend Jean...  Then we had April, Kim and Susan... too...  What a fun day... we met some wild WOMEN from Raleigh... hope that they keep in touch with us... they seem as addicted as we are all... LOL... oh we love someone like that...  Anyway girls... hope you are reading this... and that you really do keep in touch...  


We had all gotten our 6x6 Stamps and so we worked on backgrounds most of the day... in between going to the coffee shop for Lunch... and then a 3 break for Ice cream... Beverly created a sundae with vanilla ice cream, wet walnuts?  hot fudge, whipped cream, and a cherry on the top...  Oh my goodness Beverly.... how come so many gals had to get it too... ??? Was is super special..???  


Okay... it was a great day... Sande and I got home at 8:30 last night...  shy 30 minutes of a 12 hour day of playing and chatting...  loved every minute of it...  


This is a tag that I had done the day prior to our play day... but I wanted to share it with you... it is one that i used the 6x6 stamps on the background...  

The close up shows you a little more of the details...  LOL.. which we all love to see...  
I started off with a white piece of cardstock... just any kind will do...  and I used a white Dabber on a swirl 6x6 stamp... and then stamped the paper tag...  then I used my heat gun to DRY... 100% DRY.. make sure of that little tid bit...  if it is at all wet... it will not work... then using a blending tool and some ink... ( I had to use my Winter Distress inks... the two blueish ones..)  and a foam pad... I swirled the ink on lightly...  and that is the back ground... I love this ... then you take a DAMP cloth and wipe the tag .... the white will POP... great fun... 

Then I added some other things... LOL... like I wouldn't add something else...  I made a nice display of my leaves... I used my block print leaf that I have used more than any stamp this past few months.. .I really love it... 

Then I made a couple of white poinsettias... and used a Liquid pearl in the center...  I also used another Spellbinder die... for the fragile paper doily work behind the poinsettias... and colored it with a gold pen... to make it look more fragile...  

Some white Seam binding... a memo pin and token from Tim Holtz's Ideology line.... and it was done.. It will go on a special package this Christmas... that is for sure... 

Well... off for another exciting day today with my sweet hubby... we will be going up the mountain to Asheville to buy food for the holiday... and for our kids that will be coming in... can hardly wait to see them all... our 7.5 year old grandson will be coming up too... he loves to play in the studio.. and I love playing and creating special things with him... so much fun... wish they lived closer...  so I could have more time with him...  

have a great day... enjoy what ever it is you are going to do... Thanks so very much for stopping by for a visit... and if you sign up as a follower, you will automatically be notified when I post...  see you soon... Love, Light and Peace... Bonnie  

P.S.  Starting on December 1... I will have a new tag up each and every day... each tag is for the holidays...  so get ready.... there will also be more things at times... but this will also give me a little break for a while as I have some huge projects to finish... thanks again... 

Debossed Trees

Oh wow.. this is a fun technique… it is called Debossing  by Tammy who started this one… so take a look at her blog and also on Ranger blog to see all the details... you will love it... 

What you do is fill in the negative side of the Embossing and fill it with crackle… what fun!!!  Try it… you will really enjoy doing it… 

This is my first one… and now that I have the hang of it… you will see a lot more of this one…  DeBossing…  by Tammy 

Okay… I didn’t stop there… I had to add some words from my Obsession with Impression Obsession… LOL.. and that is on the left side of the tag… and then I added a flower… made from Glassine (Tim’s paper… ) and added some Barn RED  Distress Stickles on the edges… YIKES… more fun… and then some leaves and seam binding ribbon…

Love it… so much fun… do we ever have enough time to get everything done that we need to do??? Do we have enough time???? I know that I don’t… the days seem to be getting shorter and shorter… and the weeks fly by too… 

I really have to finish up my Grandsons present… which has turned into a MONSTER of a project… but I totally enjoy working on it… and I keep on thinking about how much fun he will all year with it…  yikes…  So I have at least another week of working on that… and all my kids are coming up this week… so forget all that…  automatic blogging… so that you can still have some pretties to look at while I am cooking and (cleaning… which I don’t do … against my ways of life… LOL.. wish I could really get away with that 100%)   anyway… you get the picture….

I do have a lot of things to share… and hope to get them all done prior to the big turkey day… or in our house… tofurky…. LOL… actually we are having a lot of things…  tempeh, turkey, and salmon… as we all sort of eat different diets now…  oh well… just more to nibble on… right???  It is all organic and all GREAT for the soul and body…

Hope you have a wonderful day planned…

Thanks for taking time out of your day and coming to visit me… 

Love, Light and Peace…Bonnie

Pretty Woman

This happens to be one of my very favorite stamps… I love this stamp… it really doesn’t always come out as clear as I would like it too.. but I still love it…

I did her in Archival Black… but the background is done in Archival Coffee… and also the second layer of the background in the Archival Black also… so it sort of makes the stamp look like it was masked or something… but the stamp is cut and pasted onto the background… I colored the stamp lightly with some markers… and then added the textured accents with Liquid Pearls… her necklace, flowers and ring… and then added my flowers… plain and simple… love it… as this is a favorite stamp….

I really have enjoyed this challenge GREATLY this week… Thank you Simon Say Stamp and Show… I think I have had a lot of entries… but when it is pleasurable … always enjoy to the fullest… and I have… thanks again…

Thanks for stopping by for a visit… I am down in South Carolina playing with a group of my friends today… so this post will go up automatically… so have a fun day… enjoy and post your fun…

Love, Light and Peace....Bonnie 

One Dove

I have really been having fun with the theme this week onSimon Says Stamp and Show challenge… it is WOMEN!!!!   A long time ago I took all the wood off my stamps to make room for an expanding experience… and then organized all the stamps into drawers… so my Human drawer had not been used in a while… so it was good to take all the stamps out… look at them and try and decide which one to use…  Well as you can see by now… I stamped quite a few… and since they were sitting on my work area, I have used them… and also wanted to share them with ya’ll….  

So here is another one… I think this stamp I bought from Stampington and Company… but I am not really sure… when you remove the wood.. you have to rely on the brain…  oh well.. so much for that… 

I used a background stamp 6x6 from Impression Obsession and used a distress ink on the stamp…  love it.. it was a little hard, so I think I had better re-ink all my distress ink pads this week…  I made the flowers using a baby wipe… what else… my favorite type of soft flower… and I used my Tattered Floral die cut by Tim Holtz…  

The butterfly is from a set of butterflies I bought from Ecstacy crafts… love the set… all three of the butterflies are wonderful…  very delicate… as is this scene on the stamp…  

 The coloring on the stamped area I did with markers... I use all different kinds of markers... and also a little twinkling H20's...   The leaves were stamped with Distress stains.. and then I used embossing powder on them... so they have a nice rough texture to them... a contrast to the picture...

The lower edge of the tag is a Martha Stewart punch… twig… and then I dressed up the area with some Seam binding ribbon and some pearls…  I bought these pearls at a box store… the big one… and didn’t know what I was going to use them on.. but loved the assortment of colors…  as you can see they all fit into this color design perfectly… 

The leaves are leaves I drew and cut out in a block design… a favorite of mine this season… 

One more tag.. and this will be sent with a birthday present also… Happy Birthday to you too.. no matter when your birthday is… enjoy it… it is a special day for YOU…

Hope you have a fun day… it is raining here… we do need it… so that is a good thing for us…  Thanks for stopping by for a visit… and hope to see you again soon…

Love, Light and Peace....Bonnie 

The Last Butterfly

The last tag for Birthdays this year…  LOL… then I have to start on next years… so I am in luck… I love to do these …

This is also for the Simon Says Stamp and Show challenge… I have entered a FEW things this time, as I have really enjoyed the theme of WOMEN this time… and I got out some old stamps and enjoyed them again…  which is always fun for me… So thanks again SSSS…. 

I used a background that I had made a while ago…  it is with a couple of mini misters… and are very mixed colors… but I love it… I then dribbled iridescent Medium by Winsor & Newton all around the tag… ( it looks silver like…  ) 

This little picture of this little girl… waving to the last butterfly… ( as I see it that is )  is so very precious… I just had to use it… I added some larger butterflies…

and then added a spellbinder circle with butterflies all around it… to the back… with a saying from Just Rite stamps… 

It is going on a present to my Mom… her birthday is officially on Nov 31…. She is turning a young 92… !!! 

Still walking and shopping as much as she can get anyone to take her… she is 95% blind… so some one always has to be with her… but she can do some things… like make flowers!!!  Amazing huh???

Can’t cut her food… but uses a childs pair of scissors to make flowers… 

Happy Birthday …. To all of you out there… 

Thanks for stopping by for a visit… and see you tomorrow….  With more goodies…

Love, Light and Peace....Bonnie 

A Purple Posie for ME... Love Mary

Sometimes when life is going along at a nice pace.. and you are totally enjoying the day… which happened today… as Glenn and I went up the mountain to do some shopping for the holiday meals…  and we were having a very never nice day… we got home, and all of a sudden I heard my Friend Mary’s voice… she had come to pick up some toys… LOL… we are always in need of more aren’t we???  Anyway… it was a lovely surprise… I showed her some of my newest tags that I had used some the of 6x6 stamps to make… and of course she has to have more, just like I do … we always are in the need of that thing called MORE… LOL… anyway… then all of a sudden she pulled out from her purse the most beautiful FLOWER

And this is it… 

Wow… she made it from Seam Binding tape… and it is a pin…  love it… and then she bequeathed it to ME… I love it… and the colors… are they me or what????

Then we talked about her phone… and she took this picture of me… which I think is really a good picture… and since it is so hard to get a nice picture of me… I decided to use it so you could all see that I still look the same… maybe a little younger than I did 4 years ago… that other picture has been up there for 4 YEARS… believe it or not… but that is the truth…  Yikes… where does the time go… 

Me.... Love, Light and Peace...Bonnie

Anyway… I am writing this blog to say a FORMAL Thank You to Mary for the lovely flower… the info on maybe being able to get 3 G service at my house… !!! I would be in Heaven… maybe even heaven PLUS…  wow.. I would be floating on cloud 9…. It seems reasonable enough… will have to check this all out with Verizon… ???? Maybe I can get it here… Happy dance is all over my feet… yikes… happy dance… happy dance…

So Mary… thanks for the perfect ending (almost ending) to a wonderful day…  Thanks ever so very much…

What a wonderful gift to give to someone… your love from your hands and heart… she is truly a dear wonderful friend…

Hope that you have GREAT friends in your life too…

Enjoy your day… and thanks for stopping by….

Love, Light and Peace…Bonnie.. 

Sitting Pretty

This week the Simon Says Stamp and Show challenge theme is WOMEN…. So I had to make some more tags… I just HAD to… now two ways about it…  I felt the need to use some stamps that have been screaming at me for a LONG time…

I also just got some of the new 6x6 background stamps from Impression Obsession… so I have used them t oo… I love them …. They are wonderful …. Hope that you like them too if you have them… I think they are an asset to any collection of stamps…

I also used some Just Rite Stamps… and some of Martha’s Punches…  and of course Spellbinders… 

These tags are a little Shabby Chic… and a little of this and that… but I really had fun with them.. .that is for sure… I am going to use them for Birthday present tags on the front of a white bag… so very perfect.. and I have a lot of them coming up… so these will give me a head start…

This tag represents Sitting Pretty in life… and we can all be that woman… but we have to work to get there if we are not already there…  we need to be in full control of our inner and outer person… and realize the responsibility of all of that goes along with that …. Create life to the fullest and enjoying each and every second of the day with ourselves, others and of course our partners… 

The background on this tag is very faint… but I used a white dabber and also the paisley print to create the background… as life can be so much fun in all ways… and you never know where it is going to take you… enjoy the ride.. and yet be in control of you… . 

Hope that you have a wonderful day… walk proud … and enjoy yourself in all ways…  thanks for stopping by for a visit… I love your visits…. Love, Light and Peace....Bonnie 

Walking Proud

This week the Simon Says Stamp and Show challenge theme is WOMEN…. So I had to make some more tags… I just HAD to… now two ways about it…  I felt the need to use some stamps that have been screaming at me for a LONG time…

I also just got some of the new 6x6 background stamps from Impression Obsession… so I have used them t oo… I love them …. They are wonderful …. Hope that you like them too if you have them… I think they are an asset to any collection of stamps…

I also used some Just Rite Stamps… and some of Martha’s Punches…  and of course Spellbinders… 

These tags are a little Shabby Chic… and a little of this and that… but I really had fun with them.. .that is for sure… I am going to use them for Birthday present tags on the front of a white bag… so very perfect.. and I have a lot of them coming up… so these will give me a head start…

This tag represents the women walking in life to become the queen that they are… Men are kings and women are equally the same… but queens in all ways…  Remember that…  You can be sweet.. lacey, flowers all around you… long flowing skirts… but walk proud and strongly in this life… be a woman in all ways…

I used the crackle background… as we need to break up old ways… to create new ways… and to be Whole!!!  The dragonfly represents change… 

Hope that you have a wonderful day… walk proud … and enjoy yourself in all ways…  thanks for stopping by for a visit… I love your visits…. Love, Light and Peace....Bonnie
