Kindness all the time!!!

Sow Seeds of Kindness each DAY…. 

YEAH!!!!

My feelings 100%... so many times we forget that what we give out, we get back… and generally two fold… and this is true of positive as well as negative… so sowing seeds of Kindness… wow… you really get it back… 

The Stamp... by Just Rite 

I really have to try this one with this pretty turquoise printed paper… and then used this delicate blue braid with it… and then used the striped paper for the back ground… Of course I had to use my Blue Hill punch (lotus) for the ‘doily’ effect…

I used pearls and gem stones for accents on this card… and tiny bows only… trying to keep it delicate… and Gold pen on the edges ...

I do so hope that you have a Kind loving day… and that you totally enjoy yourself…. Thanks for stopping by for a visit… Love, Light and Peace....Bonnie   

With LOVE

I know that if you have made only one card in your life that, that this has happened to you…. You start with a great idea… and then the card changes into something else entirely different than you stared it out to look like… Well that is what happened with this one… but I left it and still love the way it looks, it is just not what I had envisioned it to look like at all.. LOL… 

Okay… the heart border is with Martha’s heart border punches… and then I added a circle that I created with the Blue Hill punch… I love those punches… you can make a 3 inch or a 6 inch circle, a square, rectangle or oval and also a border all with ONE punch… how great is that… I love these punches and I think I have most of them… there is a learning curve… but if you pursue it  you will make a perfect one each and every time…

The flower punch is another new Martha punch… and the Heart is naturally a spellbinder… as is the circle… but the stamp in the center of the circle.. a Just Rite stamp!!!  A favorite one too… the flower is a Pretties  by Bonnie  flower… hope that you will take a look at all the digital images that I have for sale on the Pretties by Bonnie  blog… you can find all kinds of flowers and even a few critters…

I used a few flourishes on this that I used my Tim Holtz die cut template for… just to add some zing… The gems also add a lightness to the card for the feeling of spring to come QUICKLY… 

Hope that you are having a wonderful day… and Thanks for stopping by for a visit… Love, Light and Peace....Bonnie 

Pinks... love them on a card

I know that this has to have happened to you at least once… LOL… it happens to me a lot… I don’t sit and plan out each and every card and detail that I am going to do on a card… believe me.. I just don’t… I let each card sort of develop and create as I go along… well this particular card I had tried to play with in so many different ways… and nothing was working… finally there were  a lot of things left on my work area, and it just sort of all went onto the card and it turned out like this…

Funny how this works sometimes… I had a friend over the other day and she said she spends hours deciding what goes where … and that is just what happens sometimes… whether we like it or not!!!  

The stamps... JUST RITE... which happens to be the perfect stamps for so many cards...  

Anyway… with this card, I had all the layers cut… for another card… and didn’t like this back ground or lace, or Beaded oval… and had laid them aside… thinking I will use them sometime… well  it all went on here!!! 

I love this Martha Stewart flower border… and so I used that with some gem stones in the center of each of the flowers…  I also used two different size pearls… in an off white color… and then a double satin bow....

Thanks for stopping by for a while… I do hope that you enjoyed you stay… and thanks again… Have a very enjoyable day… and create something FUN!!! 

Love, Light and Peace…Bonnie 

Pink and Brown DOT

Live More, Laugh often, Love MUCH… love this saying… so very true in all ways… Just Rite has this cute little stamp and many more… take a look at their stamps… 

On this card, I have used a lot of fun things… had to use some polka dotted paper that I recently bought… love polka dotted papers.. in fact so much so that I have an entire folder of just polka dot paper…   this one is by  Bo Bunny and the pink is so very sweet… and the brown great too…  Then I used a solid brown to use the Martha Stewart punches on… to create the ‘doily’ effect…  Carrying thru that theme… I create the back ground for the braid with a Lacey  Circle  Spellbinder… and then an oval beaded with off white pearls all the way around that… 

The FLOWERS… oh you know that they are Pretties by Bonnie… two layers and then a light brown pearl in the center of each one…

The leaves are BLACK…. As I wanted them to STAND  OUT… I think that they do too…

A double tied bow… and finished…

Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful sunny day…

Love, Light and Peace…Bonnie

Doubles

So many times I love making a card that is similar to another one… so this time I stamped the image twice and then painted them different colors.. and of course had to choose different colored papers too… what fun!!!

So here is the brown one…

I chose to use a light peach flower, with green accents… and also green pearls and bow… love the way it turned out.  Sometimes I wonder how the colors are going to look on a card… but this worked out great… 

For the pink one, I used pink, green and a dark mauve… I used two different colored pearls for this card… a very light green and also a very pale pink… 

So try this sometime… I love using the Just Rite stamps, as they are wonderful with so many different colors anyway… very easy to use…

I have heard so many gals say that they have trouble with getting these stamps to work correctly.. well the trick is that when we read the directions things work better!!!! I hardly ever read directions… but I happened to read that your should put the outside of the stamp on first… and then put the center into that area in the center!!!!  What a difference it makes… also make sure that you ‘burp’ all around the stamp to get all the air pockets out… and they work perfectly time after time… Amazing how much fun we can make when doing something right… LOL… 

Well… hope that you have enjoyed these two cards… and also have a wonderful day… thanks so very much for stopping by… hope to see you again soon. 

Love, Light and Peace…Bonnie 

Live More, Laugh often, Love MUCH!!!!

Another Valentine card… This one is small.. most of my cards are 5x7 inches… but this little one is 4.5 x 4.5 … so cute… I made the lacey circle… and then put the pink braid on it… and the octagon (bo Bunny paper ) and then a Just Rite stamp… how perfect for Valentines Day… Live More, Laugh Often and Love much… oh yes… all good things to do… I use a little gold gel penning around the edges… a little button on the bow… and then mounted onto a Martha Stewart border frame… which was put onto three panels… love this cute little card… reds, pinks and black for a pretty card…

The envelope for this card might look a little on the orange side, but it is really pink... a mauve pink... and the envelope has a punched inner piece... love these envelopes and I am using paper that is getting too old to use for other things... even though they are all pretty... I love NEW paper..  don't you???  

Thanks for visiting me… hope you have enjoyed your time here… and if you are new… please join and become a follower… I really am trying to give away some blog candy… and want to have 300 people in the following section of my blog… so please join up… Thanks for coming to visit… Love, Light and Peace….Bonnie

Bonus Day !!!

Today I wanted to put up some of the Valentine cards that I have been making for the Just Rite Challenge... so I posted a lot of them... Please scroll down to see them...

Thanks a million...
Hope you enjoy them... and that you have a super nice day...

Thanks for stopping by for a visit... and I am hoping that there is no SNOW falling anywhere... We are trying to bring spring weather in here...!!!!!  Come on SPRING!!!

Love, Light and Peace...Bonnie

Pink Tulips...

Tulips… the flower of the week for me… I love them.. but this stamp is just so pretty for the spring time… it is by Just Rite and has so many borders and this one I decided to use for the look of a double braid… and colored with the gold gel pen…  I use the sage double faced ribbon… and made it look like it was hanging… I mounted it on the beaded oval and then cut apart the Tulip pendant by Spellbinder… and mounted on either side of it… I used the tulip border at the bottom… and the Magenta paper from a ‘few’ years ago… of course the envelope and trim on the inside all are in pink to match the pretty pink tulips… 

Love this spring card… and hope that you are wishing for spring like I am… YEAH Spring!!!!  Enjoy the day… and thanks so much for stopping by for a visit… Don't forget... 

THINK SPRING!!!  Love, Light and Peace…Bonnie 

Thinking of YOU!!!!

Thinking of YOU!!!
Another paper from the past… added to a New Punch by Martha Stewart…. Love this flower and fench look to this punch…

I used the beaded circle and put a lacey circle inside with the braided ribbon all around it… Each one of the beaded sections on the outer circle has a pearl… for a sweet look… and the purple flower… yes it is a Pretties by Bonnie flower… I used three different sizes of flowers… and then put a large gem in the center…

The papers are at least 5 years old… and yet they are still so very pretty… love these papers… and glad I saved them… The Braid on this card is actually a grosgrain ribbon and is only 1/8th inch wide… but gives a very textured look to this card…

Thanks for stopping by… and do hope that you have a wonderful day… Love, Light and Peace....Bonnie

Lavender tulips

Lavender is such a pretty delicate color of Spring …. And some  of the first flowers that show their pretty little faces are lavender… like crocus and tulips… so very pretty…  so this is a tribute to them… 

This card I used some of that papers that I have been hoarding for a long time… I used a white briad around the lacey circle (spellbinder)  and then adorned with lavender pearls… The Tulips are a Just Rite Stamp and I cut them out to pop them… I used a Martha Stewart punch for the frame and also for the heart border… 

Love this for a friend… for a Happy Valentines day…  so delicate… and sweet like her…

Hope that you are making some Valentine cards for friends and family…  Thanks for stopping by and visiting me… and hope that you will come back again really soon… Love Light and Peace… Bonnie 

A little birdy told me .... Happy Valentines Day to YOU!!!

Oh what kind of card to make for our Grandson… he is 6.5 years old… and loves fun things… although he doesn’t seem to pay too much attention to cards… money and cars and lego… those are his loves of his life… he got a dirt bike for Christmas and that is taking over his life now… he rides it when ever he can…

So  a card… Oh well.. a little bit of a silly one… two birds kissing… and then one popping up… okay… maybe it will stir a funny bone in his body!!!!!

I used this pop up card called the Wiper card on SCS… and it is so very easy to make and I think fun to receive… I used the same little bird that I did on the other card… and then put another bird on the inside.. a girl and boy bird… kissing ....so sweet… Be My Valentine… my sweet little grandson… 

I used some more of that pretty Bo Bunny paper that I got the other day… I used Dimension Pearls by Ranger… I love those new ones… I of course had to have all the colors… what else is new..????  They are all wonderful…  

Well hope that he loves it… or at least gets a chuckle out of it…

I still have more cards with braids… don’t give up… they will hopefully delight your eyes… and heart…

Have a fun day… and thanks for stopping by for a visit…

Love, Light and Peace…Bonnie 

Fill Each Day with JOY!!!!

Fill EACH day with JOY!!!
How very fitting for a card… it is a stamp by Just Rite… I love the saying and the sweet little border around the edges of this one… with Just Rite, you can choose the border that is fitting for your particular use… so this one was just right for this card…

As I told you a few days ago, I had cleaned out my 12 x 12 printed papers… and this is one paper that I had found… it is so very lovely… so I made a simple and elegant card from it… I still have enough for a few more cards too.. yeah… as it is a favorite… and I have no idea who made it… sorry about that… no name on it at all..

Anyway.. .I did use Bazzill papers for the border and the frame… which is a Martha Stewart punch set… The lavender paper I used is a really heavy cardstock… and it is really quite textured on it’s own… and I used the beaded oval by Spellbinder for the background and for the placement of the braiding…

I love the colors of this card… a favorite combination… that is for sure…and the size of the card is 5x7 inches.... a nice size for all this to fit onto comfortably.  

Thanks for stopping in today for a visit at my Blog… it makes me happy when you leave a message too.. thanks… Have a super nice day in all ways..
                                                                                     Love, Light and Peace....Bonnie

RED, White and Black = LOVE....

I love to use different colors at different times of the year… don’t you??? For example… red is so very outstanding… and with Black and White… it just ways WOW… I love you… so here it is…  

I used a deep cut Martha Stewart punch on the frame of this card… and then of course a braid.. .this time I used ¼ inch double faced satin ribbon… it makes a wider wreath … and it is a little different… I popped the center sentiment from Just Rite… and of course it is all on a Spellbinders circle… 

I used the same Spellbinder lacey circle on the lower part of this easel card… and then put the pretty tulips by Just rite there also… a fun card…

Hope that you are having a nice day… and it continues all day long… enjoy everything that you do… and create something for someone special… it is so much fun and also makes your heart sing…  don’t forget… “A bird doesn’t  sing because it has an answer, it sings because it has a song…”  So sing loudly and lovingly…

Thanks for stopping by to say hello… please leave a message … I love hearing from you… even if it is to just say HI…. Love, Light and Peace….Bonnie 

A Little Birdy

Oh how I wish SPRING was here... I can't even feel it right now... but at least we are getting rain today and not snow... so that is a good sign.. we are warming up a little bit... The little birds have to be cold in this weather... and so here is a WARM little bird... so happy and singing... 

I have been making some Valentine cards with a dual purpose... or multi purpose reasons...
I want to send them to some friends... I also am going to be putting them into the Just Rite Challenge IF I can get them up there... I have been having a very difficult time getting onto line... and also staying on line... so this is special... when I get on I post a dozen cards for a few weeks... LOL.. so I really have to work ahead of time...

This card... I really had a lot of fun making it... the colors are all so very bright and fun... I picked up this really cute Bo Bunny paper and had to make a few cards using it...If you notice the envelope above... I will talk about that later... Anyway... the little bird.. I drew it, and then added all kinds of fun colored dimensional pearls to her...

What a wonderful saying... To Truly Love someone, we must LAUGH with them... isn't that 100% of the truth... so very true... be relaxed and love those around you...

Okay... the envelope... Do you have way more printed 12 x 12 paper than you will ever use???? Well I did.... and since I was cleaning up the studio, I decided to clean out the paper piles... each of my 12 x 12 papers are color assorted... so I cleaned out a few colors and it became contagious... and finally I had it all done... taking out papers that I will not use... old ones, and ones that are jsut so out of date that how could I ever use them... for a CARD.... but I can use them for an ENVELOPE!!!! So that is what I am doing.. I now have another bin of paper about 18 inches of it... for envelopes... this is one of them... I use a pretty punch to emboss the inside of the envelope... and it is really special...

So two projects done.. and I now have a few more to do and the studio will be getting into a nice area of clean and ready for a full year of playing... and also... I have to add this... more space to buy new things... LOL... main reason for cleaning out...

Thanks for stopping by for a visit... and welcome to all you new gals that have joined... I really love you all... and try to make this as interesting as possible..  There will be more braided cards starting in a few days... I think I made about 12 of them... I love the braiding... so much fun..

Have a fun day... stay dry and warm... and see you all again real soon.. Love, Light and Peace...Bonnie  

Another braided card....

I think I am addicted to braiding ribbon.. what a fun thing to create... I love doing it, then making a card to use it on... I have a few more cards to do... as I have been busy with braiding ... love it... have you tried it yet...  it is called the Butterfly stitch...  and this is where I found it... just follow the directions... and have fun...

Wow... I am really wanting to get out and get some ribbon... I need it now... I am almost out of narrow ribbon... hope that the weather holds... ribbon here I come...

 This card started out with the center section first... but I will show you the front of the card first...  Again, I used a lot of the Cuttlebug Embossing Plus folders, which emboss and cut out these fun center sections... which allow for peek a boo cards...

I used a gold gel pen around the edge of this one...
and mounted onto a Martha Stewart corner and border punched paper frame...

The card is again large... 3/4 inch thick and then 8.5 inches tall and 5.5 inches wide...

The paper is all white... but the pictures show it being something a little different... sorry about that... just the way I take pictures... not the best.. .but the best that I can do with the weather these days...

The flowers.... 

The flowers are by PRETTIES BY BONNIE  which will send you this pretty flower via e-mail and it can be used over and over many millions of times... and you can create this flower to be any size your HEART desires... from 1 inch up to 12 inches... I guess.. if your printer will print a 12 inch piece of paper...

Anyway... you can see the front a little bit better here... the color... oh well.. just realize it is white...


The flowers are a light peach...

Okay... when you open the card... you will see this... Peach paper and white lace paper...

Pearls in peach and off peach color...

And some more flowers by Pretties By Bonnie...
I do hope you will take a look at all the pretties over on the site... you can use any charge card too... it is simple and can be in your hands within a few hours...

A closeup of the card...









Okay... are you ready for the inside???

This one is a little bit different...
Not quite a frilly.. but still filled with lots of love.... I used a fern colored bazzill paper for the background.. and then more layers of white...

On the next layer, I used a Fiscars corner and border punch... and the a cuttlebug embossing plus folder...

The braid this time... APRICOT.... lvoe it... and a few flowers to match the color theme...  I did use Liquid Pearls for the center of these flowers... and a few orange paper flowers as accents around the display...

Love the way that this turned out...

Have you gotten started on your Valentine Cards.. ??? I still have a couple more to make...
but need to get them done.... so I will share them with you when I do get them done...

Have a fun day, and THANKS so very much for stopping by to say hello... love your messages and comments... thanks so very much...

Love, Light and Peace... Bonnie

A special Valentine card

I know that you all have made a really special card for someone in your life... well the other day I really got involved in this braiding and I thought how pretty this would be in a tri fold card... so I started to create one... This is not a small card... in fact it is about 3/4 of an inch
thick!!!!  and it is 8.5 tall  by  5.5 wide... a huge card... but so filled with all kinds of fun loving things... how could it be small..????

Okay... I have to do this generally all white... with the color way on the inside!!!!

The cover of the card... on the right...
Has a Martha Stewart heart border... and then a Lace door layer (by Cuttlebug Embossing plus folder)  and then a heart from he Loves me Embossing plus folder...

Down at the bottom a layer of Grand Lace by Spellbinder... and a little satin bow...

When you open the card...

You see this section next....

The inside on the left is another layer of Heart border by Martha's punches... and then a layer of He loves me... by Cuttlebug... and a little bird flying across the page... and again the Spellbinder grand lace at the bottome with a little stain bow...

Large pearls accent the lower corners...

On the other page, you will again see the heart... which has a white stain braided heart around it... Oh how I love this... I added some pearls to it also... you will see a close up of this later on....
I took two dragonfly stickers... (exactly the same) and put vinyl on one set of the wings.. and then made the dragonfly 'take off'... love that look... when you open the card, the wings pop up just like it is real and is going to take off...

A close up of the inside cover section...


This is all white... the color is from the inside color of the page...  so please ignor the pink color of this...

Here is the Dragonfly side of the card...

You will see the heart section a little bit closer in the next picture.. 

Now you can see the pearls in the heart of satin ribbon....  Again this all white.... the saying that you can see is a Just Rite stamp...
Our love is the greatest gift we can give each other...

So very true in all ways... and the truest form of love is to give from the heart... not materially...

Okay... now for the inside of the card...

This card really took me by surprise... I dont' sit and plan things out... I go with the flow... truly I do... and when I finally got to this section... I loved the card... 100%... that doesnt' always happen...

Anyway... lets take it a little bit further...

The far right panels, is the same as the far left panel... minus the little bird...

The Center panel... Oh how I enjoyed doing this section... I used a piece of Parchment paper and ran it thru the Cuttlebug embossing plus folder of Elegant window... and then used a Ranger ink on it to give a very slight sage color to the parchment paper...  In the center I used the center of Carly (another Cuttlebug embossing plus folder)  and used the same sage ink on that to give it color... Along with the label, which is also a Cuttlebug Embossing plus folder... and used the word LOVE .... plain and simple to give really in depth love feeling to the entire card...

Okay... the flowers....  PRETTIES BY BONNIE    They have two layers of flowers... and a pearl in the center of each flower.... I used markers to color the flowers... and also made each one cupped by using a stylist to 'break' the paper...

I loved the pink one so very much... and was so upset that it was finished, that I made another one... yup... another one...

This one is a very soft sage green background with yellow flowers... and the little birds are blue birds... the sweetest little birds that flit all around in the spring... 



The color of the main card is WHITE... and the color of the paper just is really over bearing when I take the picture... sorry about that...
But I hope you can get a  general idea of this card....  So now I have two of these pretties... and I stand them up and just adore them...  dainty, frilly, feminine and loving...

Yikes... have fun making a card that is frilly.... filled with all kinds of love... each layer of these cards is also popped... so there is a lot of thickness to each one... they would have to be put into a box to mail... no two ways about it...

Hope that these influence you to create some cards for Valentines day.. .it isn't that far away...
Have a wonderful day... a loving day at that....

Our attitude towards life determines life's attitude towards us....  Remember that... it is a good thing to live by...   Have fun... and enjoy... Love, Light and Peace... Bonnie

Ribbon Braiding

Last year on SCS one of the gals had shown how to braid ribbon on a tiny little bird house... it was so very precious.. and I kept the directions... that I would do this as soon as the holidays were over... That was over a year ago...

Well a lot of projects have gone on and I went to a scrapbook week-end this year... and one of my friends... Marie by name... had made a really pretty card with the BRAID!!!!  So I dug out the directions... read them ... and then tossed them aside... way to difficult to start to do at midnight!!!!  Yikes... so the next morning I read them again...picked up some narrow ribbon and started to make briads...

My only problem... I didn't think I had enough narrow ribbon!!!

Well I have enough to play with for the time being... and will go to the store the next time we are out...

WE have had a lot of snow... which for up north is a joke, but in the south the town's don't have snow plows... so we have to wait until the state gets around to plowing us out...

Here is a close up of the first braid I made... I love making these preety braids.. they really make a statement on a card...

Of course I also used a flower from  PRETTIES BY BONNIE,   
Three layers of a flower all different sizes to make this look like a 'real' flower.....  
and I used my markers to color it... along with a gold gel pen for glimmer...  I used a dew drop for the center of the flower...

 Okay.... I had a lot of fun doing this...

Here is the front of the entire card... 

I used the Fiskar corner border punch around the edge of the card...

and

Then I used one of the newer Embossing Plus folders by Cuttlebug for the next layer...

To Truly LOVE someone we must LAUGH with them... a lovely saying on the stamp I used which is by Just Rite...

I love the way this card came together... hope that you enjoy seeing it... and it motivates you to start to create some Valentine cards... you know that you don't have to use the typical REDS for the card... use colors that tell of love to you...

I happen to love pink and green, and so that is why I made this card with those colors first...
I also used a piece of K & Company paper to make the envelope... 

Yes this is a card, but I also feel that it is a gift as well.. Who will end up receiving this card???

Hope the weather stays nice now for a while... I would really like to get out and get some more ribbon.. I did find a FEW spools of the narrow ribbon.. and I love making these braids...  Hope you ahve a wonderful day... and that you will get started on your Valentine cards... Love, Light and Peace...Bonnie 

Box Card

Do you get a lot of really pretty Christmas cards...??? This year we got so many outstanding cards... I love them all.. One dear friend, Ann by name... LOL... she knows this anyway... but jsut had to say her name with this wonderful card... Anyway, she sent me a beautiful card... I studied it and then made this one...
It is a gate card... but when you open it, it has a surprise... Look below for the surprise...

I love this card... It is for a Birthday card...
The front has the circle made from the Blue Hill Lotus punch... and then I added another layer also made with another style Blue Hill punch...

I made the flower using a Spellbinder flower die...

There are 8 layers on this flower.... I used Mustard seed distress ink on the petals....

The leaves are from Pretties By Bonnie
And the ribbon goes around the card to hold this surprise in place...

When you open this gate card, you will find a box... wow... how special is that... 

You can put all kinds of items in there... but I put a lot of little tags with special messages on the tags...

They hopefully will fall out when the card is opened... and the tag with LOVE can now be seen a lot better...

What a card... I love this style Ann... thanks for sharing this with me... I am going to try and make a few more... they are really neat...
How special is Ann that she shares this with me... and then I can share this with you... I am going to make a few more and then I will share the directions with you too...

Are you still spreading JOY... please do... and add a little love too... it certainly doens't hurt... Glenn and I have always practiced that what you give out, you get back two fold... this workds the same way... so spread it generously... with gusto!!!!!

Thanks for stopping by... I really love it... I would love to have you join the group that follows too.. I am wanting a group of 300... as I have a lot of fun things to give away... the pile had to be moved into another box... it is growing... wow... ...

Love, Light and Peace... Bonnie

Pinks... pinks... and also some white...

I think I have told you that I love pink and green.. well here is another pink and green card!!!!

This is also a gate card... and I used the Heart by Spellbinders to over lap the opening... on the heart, I popped a scalloped oval and then two flowers by Pretties by Bonnie ... have you ever been over to that blog... I do hope that you realize that on the right side of my blog are all links to get to my other blogs... please visit... each one is entirely different...

At Pretties by Bonnie you will find all the digital images that I have created... I will e-mail them to you... yes it takes me a long time to do this, but I love it...

This is a very simple card, but it is also a Happy Birthday card... pinks and greens... the pink flourish is from the Tim Holtz die cut template.. really a sweet flourish... love it... should use them more often... note to self... try and remember to use more of these...

Well thanks again for stopping by... I am on my way to make some cookies... so come on over... I will put on some tea too... we can have a party and play with some paper .... Love, Light and Peace...Bonnie

Happy Birthday Cards

I am trying to hold fast to my new rule this year... and that is to send out Birthday cards to all my friends... I feel that as a paper crafter, we all should send cards to our friends... if not them... then why do we make so many cards... ???? So I am going to try that this year... not saying I will succeed... but I will try.. .

This is really a girly girl card.. and I love it ...
So very delicate and pretty... pinks and greens... my favorite...

All lacey... and that clean white paper... 

I used the Double flower digital image by
Pretties by Bonnie...  and counted it on a Spellbinder scalloped oval... and then on the eyelet pendant.... the background is a Cuttlebug embossing folder... and I think it is Kassies brocade folder...
The edges of the card... a Martha Stewart punch...

The buttons are from a package of goodies that a friend gave me in my birthday bag... Thanks again Brenda... I love them...

A closeup of the flower area...

I love pink and green together... and on the white... oh wow... makes my heart sing...

Do you see the little fairy up there.. She was also in my birthday bag... so precious...



Well if I dont' get a card to you... allow this one to be yours... Happy Birthday to you... to all of you...

Thanks for stopping by today... taking time out from your schedule to stop in is always a pleasure... I am hoping that we get some kind of faster service this year... my biggest wish ever... I would love to get off DIAL up, and then I could visit all of you too...

Have a fun day... Love, Light and Peace... Bonnie

Friends

This week-end I have been invited to a scrapping week-end... Kim invited me to come, and said that  I could bring a few friends too... wow.. what a special person she is... and I do mean that... Kim won this fantastic week-end at Scrapbook Creations... (which is a store in Spartanburg SC area)  and in includes the use of the cottage, and also the scrapping room... all free of charge for her friends... so there are 10 staying in the cottage and who knows how many are coming to play... What a fun time we will all have... I am really excited about it...

Anyway... Kim thought it would be nice to make the owner of the store a nice THANK YOU GIFT... so she asked each one of us to bring a Fat Book Page... which is a 6x6 page... and she will bind them all together... the theme is FRIENDSHIP.... so this is my page...

I used my favorite background that you too can have and play with... you can get it at
PRETTIES   BY   BONNIE  also the flower and leaves are digital images... all from Pretties by Bonnie....

I use the Friends saying from Just Rite stamps... and mounted it, so that it would stand out...

What a simple page this is... but dont' forget this is just one page in a book of many.... so it really has to be a little bit on the simple side...

Hope that Cathy likes it ... she is really a wonderful person... and know that she will love this book that Kim is creating...

Okay... so since I was on the Friends theme... I created this card... I have a very dear friend that needs this card so very much...

I again used the double flower from Pretties by Bonnie ... and was colored with Tombow markers... I really like those as they are so very nice to get a layered look...

I used some ink on the saying... which is a Just Rite stamp set again... These stamps are so very versitle, as you can mix and match the stamp and borders... love it... I mounted it on a Spellbinder  beaded oval...   The black lace... that is a Martha Punch... I also used the butterfly punch to create a fun look on the inside of the envelope...

Speaking of envelopes... do you have a calandar that is left over from last year... you might not have written that much in it at all... anyway... the pictures are really too pretty to toss out??? Well get out your scoring pad, and create some envelopes from the pages... a really good way to save on paper and not throw that pretty calendar away...

Hope you are having a fun day... and thanks for taking time to stop by and visit here... I love it...
Thanks and see you soon... Love, Light and Peace...Bonnie
