Easter Greetings

Good Morning my lovelies and happy Friday! Where did the week go???? We did get some snow on February 29 do you think if it wasn't a leap year the snow wouldn't have come? haha OK I'm being goofy.

I'd like to share with you today's card that features one of Krista's Saturated Canary images. When I saw her I immediately said "I HAVE TO HAVE HER". Isn't she so cute? I colored her in with my Copics and also made some little puffy clouds. I think I have to work on that a little because it looks like she's going to have torrential rain any minute now. The pretty paper is by K&Co. called Berry Sweet. The round decorative doily die is by Die-namics. Flowers are by Wild Orchids and the flourishes and leaves are by Marianne's Design. The fancy tag holding the crystal charm is by Spellbinders. And the beautiful butterfly is from my super sweet friend Rebekah, Thanks sweetie pie.

Thank you so much for taking the time to stop in today. I sincerely look forward to reading your comments.

Have a great weekend.

Hugs Bonnie

Raise The Bar GDT Chocolate and Roses

Oh my Love's I've got some awesome fabulous news to share with you. I am a Guest Bar-Tender at Raise the Bar challenge. This weeks theme is chocolate and roses (reds and browns).

 I chose to use a Saturated Canary image called Gothica isn't she sooooo sweet? I colored her in using Copic markers and I really wanted to make those two strips of hair that go along her face red but I forgot and added the brown instead. Oh well next time. I thought these two colors together were awesome and I found some really cute paper. The designer paper with the mushrooms are by Imaginisce called Mushroom Fancy and the striped sheet is by 3 Bugs in a Rug called Happy Bird-Day. The brown and red card stock is Bazzill. Flowers are by Wild Orchids and Recollections. I made a pebble with one of the cute little mushrooms and a gorgeous stick pin which I tucked behind the flowers. The sentiment is by Autumn Leaves, I thought it suited this card perfectly.

I hope you will join us for this weeks challenge at Raise the Bar for a color combo challenge of brown and red. 

Thank you for popping in today.

ABC Guest Designer I for in Pairs

Good Morning my lovelies. I have some fabulous news. Oh I'm so very excited and honored to have been chosen as a guest designer for the month of February for The ABC challenge. And this is my very first card. Yeah Whoo Hoo!!!!

Ok so this weeks challenge at The ABC is I for in pairs. Use two of something on your card or project.

For my card I chose to use this adorable image from Saturated Canary, she's called Pricilla. Don't you just love her fun hair? I colored her in using Copic makers. The gorgeous paper is by Prima. I used a Martha Stewart heart die for around the entire card. This was a technique that I saw on my lovely friend Carol's blog Chocolate, Crafts and Bears Oh My. Do yourself a huge favor and give her a visit she is so inspiring and creates the most amazing work. For my pairs I embellished my card with two butterfly's a Martha Stewart punch. Two pearl hearts by WOC, and two handmade stick pins. The metal corners are by WOC which I used my Snow Cap dauber on.

I do hope you will join us for this weeks challenge at The ABC Challenge!

Thank you for visiting me today

Saturated Canary Hand-Me-Downs

Hello my dear friends. Awww thank you so much for all of the sweet comments that you leave for me. I enjoy reading them and it truly makes my day brighter. Your love and support mean so very much to me.

Today I made a card using an adorable Saturated Canary image which is called Hand-Me-Downs. Isn't she the cutest. I colored her with my Copic markers using that sparkly paper which I can't remember the name of. And I'm not sure if I really like it or not. Anyway I used a Spellbinder die for her oval frame, the corner scrolls and the sentiment frames. The tag die cut (which you can't see) is by Magnolia as well as the flourishes. And those larger flowers you see are also created using a Spellbinder die. I inked the edges with Concord Distress ink added Stickles. The smaller flowers are by Marianne's Designs. The beautiful sentiment is by Whimsy stamps. I tucked a stickpin behind the hand dyed seam binding ribbon and attached a cute little charm that reads "Dancing Queen".

Thanks for visiting me today.

I hope your day is wonderful

Hugs Bonnie

Saturated Canary Whispy Fairy

Good afternoon my fabulous friends. I have to apologise to you all if I've not visited you. I am currently working from my laptop which is so super slow, that everytime I try to leave comments it times out. My computer is getting some TLC at the moment but I promise to visit as soon as I can.

Today's card features one of my favorite artist Krista Smith's digital image which is called Whispy Fairy. Isn't she just gorgeous. I love her lovely cascading hair, reminds me of my daughter as I used to put just the one pony tail on the side. Anyway I loved working with this image. The designer paper is by Prima. The butterfly, flowers and the resin corner piece is by Recollections. The beautiful circle sentiment is my Lili of the Valley. The bling and crochet flowers I found in the dollar bin at Michael's Crafts Store. I have some awesome sweet die cuts but because I went a little nuts with the embellies you can't see them. I should probably take a picture of the card prior to blinging it up. The metal key is by Tim Holtz which I used some Alcohol ink in Butterscotch so that it matched better. The rest of my embellies are from my stash.

Thank you for visiting me today. I love reading your comments which always makes my days brighter!
Have a fabulously crafty day
Hugs Bonnie

I made top 3 at ABC Challenge and also won a spot as a guest designer. I am thrilled to pieces!!!!!

Hello my lovely friends. I hope your week has been fabulous!!! Today was a very special day for us. I went to the Dr's with Jenn and Rick for her ultrasound and guess what? They are having a baby GIRL!!! Whoo Hoooo we didn't have any kind of preference but their daughter Caila was hoping and praying for a baby sister that she can play Barbie's with and read books too. When we told her I though she was going to cry she was so happy. Awwww so sweet another grand child!!!!!

Today's card features one of my most favorites from Saturated Canary she's called Tressa, A Princess. Ha I think I say that about every single one that I've colored so far lol

I colored her using my beloved Copic markers. The gorgeous designer papers are by My Mind's Eye called Lost & Found *Madison Avenue. I made the charm handing from the removable tag and the stick pin that's tucked behind the seam binding ribbon. The gorgeous flowers were a gift and they are by Recollections. The pearl swirls are by Prima and the gorgeous bird and flourishes were also a gift from a friend which were originally white and I inked them up using Tattered Rose Distress Ink then sprayed them with Perfect Pearls, I love the shimmer.

Thank you so much for visiting me today I appreciate all of your lovely comments.

Love and hugs Bonnie
