Simply Magnolia Dt card

Good morning all and Happy Sunday. I hope your weekend  has been great thus far. Yesterday Sean and I did some garage sale shopping and I was able to snag this beautiful antique sewing machine table. It's simply beautiful but needs to be painted to match my craft room. I have one just like it but it's really beat up. So I am really excited about my new find.

It's time again for another challenge at Simply Magnolia yeah!!!!! And this weeks theme is Dies/Punches/Ribbon challenge.

For my card I chose one of my most favorite all time Tilda stamps. I just think she is so adorable. I colored her with Copic markers. I used my brand new Pion papers called Mother aren't they gorgeous? I tried really hard not to cover up the beautiful flowers, so I moved all my embellies inward. The beautiful resin frame is by Melissa Frances and the cream flowers I am very proud to say are all handmade by me... I had the most fun making them for this card I wanted to shabby chic look to go with the DP. The flourish die cut is from Magnolia and I used a Martha Stewart stamp for the butterflies.

I hope my card has inspired you to join us for this weeks Dies/Punches/Ribbon challenge at Simply Magnolia

Thanks for visiting.

Hugs Bonnie

Good Morning! I hope every one had a wonderful week and have some fun plans for the weekend which hopefully involves creating! I myself have a lot of neglected cleaning to do yuck! But we do have a Birthday party on Saturday to celebrate our daughter Jenn's 28th Birthday. It was just yesterday I was changing her diapers and feeding her from a spoon. sigh... Where does the time go?

Today I'd like to share with you a card that features an adorable Lili of the Valley image. I colored her while on vacation using Distress ink. I was pleased with this one after 3 other attempts. I used this really fun and cheerful paper from K&Co called Berry Sweet. I've had it for years but I immediately thought about it when coloring in this little darling. I thought her to be a breath of Spring air.

I hope you all have a wonderful weekend!

Thanks for stoppin by

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.

Hugs Bonnie

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.

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

CLP Sketch challenge featuring Sassy Studio Designs

*****Update*****

This is my SECOND POST for today.
OMG I am so late on my posts today, my deepest apologies. Seems my computer is again not working properly. Sean and I are seriously looking into perhaps an upgrade. Shhh I don't want to jinks myself before we do anything because it seems AT THE MOMENT my computer is cooperating.

Ok so we have a sketch challenge this month at CLP challenge. And our sponsor is Sassy Studio Designs. My card features Steampunk Victoria isn't she amazing? I had the best best time working with her and watching her come to life. I colored her in using my Copic markers. The paper is DCWV, black Bazzill and Kraft. I have a lot of fun little things going on here that I'd like to share with you. First the lovely flowers are by Wild Orchids which I inked the edges using Tumbled Glass Distress ink. Then I painted on Crackle accents to give it that glass or metal look. The flourishes are cut with a Magnolia die and the round die cuts are by Spellbinder. I inked the Kraft paper with Vintage photo then again painted on the Crackle accent. The bevelled glass piece is by Tim Holtz and I did the same crackle glass method with that as well. The is that adorable key that I found in the dollar bin at Michael's and I attached a little charm to it. The metal sprockets are by Tim Holtz and I added some alcohol ink in Ginger to match the Kraft paper.

I hope you will join us for this months sketch challenge at CLP! You have until January 31st to join.

I look forward to seeing your creations!

Hugs Bonnie

Valentine's Day Origami Gift Box

Good Morning my friends. We finally got some snow last night but it turned into rain and now it's all sloppy slush. Yucky!!! So I guess I'll stay in today and color which is always the best alternative to Anything!

I don't have a card to share with you today. Instead I'll like to show you the origami box that I created. The paper is again from K&Co old Valentine stash. I embellished with flowers by Wilds Orchids. The heart punch around the page is by Martha Stewart. I inked the edges, applied Stickles and finished with Liquid Pearls, The flourish die cuts are by Marianne Designs, these are my new favs.

I hope you've enjoyed today's craft. I sure had fun creating it.

Thanks for visiting.

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
