Stripes


You Mean the World to me… 

Another wonderful stamp from Just Rite… and it is framed by  Fancy Labels… the saying is from Kindness set… you need to get them all anyway… so just go ahead and get them.. you will not regret this purchase.. they are fun to use… and you will not get tired of using them… they care very versatile.. 

Okay on this card… I used a striped piece of paper.. I think it is a Anna Griffin Paper.. but can’t remember… I used a piece of off white paper to make the frame with a Martha Stewart punch set… 


I added Pretties by Bonnie Flowers… of which I glazed and layered… and put pale pink pearls for the centers… the fairy is kneeling and looking at you… The two frames I mounted on a Spellbinder  shape… I think it is label 4??? But not really sure… and then I ran it thru my Cuttlebug Swiss Dot folder… the paper is a piece of that Core’dinations paper… and so I was able to sand it to get the two tones… love it… a couple of pearls… a little olive/moss bow… and I was done…

Thanks for stopping by… and have a fun day… make a special meal for you and your family… enjoy eating together… be a family…
Love, Light and Peace....Bonnie

Special Paper


I had so very many SPECIAL pieces of paper that I want to use for cards…. But just can’t seem to cover the designs up… so this is one of those special sheets…. It is by K and Company.. and if you look, you will see the delicate white pictures of the flowers and leaves on the right hand side… So with that in mind.. I built up the left side of the card…  


I used the Fancy labels by Just Rite… and pop dotted them for a really nice layered look… I added a row of Martha’s paper lace… and then a single flower for the frames… a little fairy is flying across the card… 


The saying… Thank You for being my Sunshine every day… wow.. what a powerful saying that is…  I love it… this card is going to someone very special in my life…  to say the least…  

I glazed the flower… which has three layers… A  Pretties by Bonnie flower… and I used a teal blue pearl in the center… but then I added a white glitter… which gives the effect of a light dusting of snow… or maybe a heavy frost… just a lovely feeling about the card…  the Fairy has clear Stickels  Diamond on her wings.. so that is just perfect with the white glitter in the flower…. 


I hope that you have a Sunshine Day… and that you create something special for that special person in your life…  Have a fun day… and thanks for taking out time to visit my blog… love having you visit…
Love, Light and Peace....Bonnie

I WON!!! Quiet Moments ! ! !


Do you ever have one of those days where everything seems to be happy, and going just perfectly… well that was the other day… everything from the time I woke up was just perfect…

My husband brought the mail in around lunch time.. and in there, was a large envelope… I opened it… and low and behold I had won a challenge with Just Rite… I had forgotten all about this challenge… and I had won the set…. QUIET MOMENTS!!!!  I love that set… so very delicate.. sweet and loving… and to get this I was so very happy… thanks Just Rite… Okay… so you know what I had to do after lunch.. STAMP… yes… stamp all the pretties on the sheet…. I used the saying on the inside of this card… but the two sweet beings.. well they were so much fun to color… I used my Twinkling H20’s… and then some Stickles on the flowers… I made Vellum wings and used my Gold gel pen for accents on the wings… which are added on after the entire image is colored!!!!  I also colored the  stars with Stickles … to shine… 
 

I used a few Spellbinders to create the medallion… and then a Martha Stewart paper lace… with some Pretties by Bonnie flowers… there are pink heart gem stones in the center of the flowers… a few Cuttlebug swirls and I was done… how very sweet this card is… I love this set… I know that I will be using this a lot.. Have to make a few more cards with this set NOW… 


Thanks for taking a look see… and hope that you have a Quiet Moment in your day to ponder some loving thoughts… send to someone special… and also to yourself… as you should be the most special person in your life…

Love, Light and Peace....Bonnie

A little Glitter is always fun...


Kindred Spirits …. With a fairy and a Dragonfly!!!  Wow… what a fun thing to see… There are some fun things and different things that I did with this card… 

First off… the frame is from the cover of a pad of Kand Company paper… do you recognize it???  I just cut it to fit the card!!!! Love it… I just can’t throw away some things… and these happen to be really nice and I knew that I could use it on a card or a scrapbook page… Behind the frame… I used a piece of magenta paper that I had been saving for an eternity!!!!  Finally starting to use some of the paper… and it really does feel great… 



Then in the front… a few Just Rite Frames… I used one from the set called Kindness and the one on the top is from Friendship Blooms… love the popped look of these frames… just something that really makes my heart sing happy songs… Spring songs too… LOL…

I added a single large flower.. and it is glazed and also I sprinkled some fairy dust on it… (white Glitter)   I think I have a lot of fun when I go wild with a card.. but then I have fun with each card that I create…  how about you??? 

Hope that you have a creative day… and that you enjoy what you are doing… no matter what it is…
Thanks for stopping by… and hope to see you again tomorrow…

Having a GREAT Day????


Have a GREAT DAY… 


What a fun time I had with this card.. I had just received my new stamps from Just Rite… and here is this adorable bird house stamps…Three of them.. now how can I choose which one to use??? So I stamped all three and colored them all.. and then used this one for now.. you will see the others later!!!! I promise.. I don’t thrown things like that away..  



Okay… so I had this cute little birdhouse all colored.. and then I added a few teal colored flowers… Pretties by Bonnie flowers.. with two layers… and some leaves… I used white copic ink on the top layer of the flowers.. and then added gold gel to the leaves.. just for an additional flair… I used GREEN pearls in the center of the flowers.. I am not really sure if you can pick the color up on these… but I love the green with the teal coloring… 

I used a Martha Stewart punch for the background.. and then took a piece of green cardstock and used my gold gel pen to create a doodled effect for the background… so much fun!!! I love to do things like that… uniquely different in all ways… I added a little bird… because he is wishing you to you HAVE A GREAT DAY!!!

Hope you enjoy this card… The center part of the card is all from the new cling stamps by Just Rite also…  Kindness and You Inspire me are the two sets that I used them from…   the saying … Have a great day comes from the set In the Moonlight…

I stamp a whole lot of each set when I get them.. .and then use them as I need them… so that is why they are from three different sets… love the way that they all mix and match so very nicely… love that about these stamps…

Thanks for stopping by for a visit… and have a GREAT DAY yourself… create something special…

Another Special Addition for YOU!!!

SPECIAL  POSTING just for YOU .... 

I made a couple more cards for the Jsut Rite Challenge... and wanted to post them for you to see as well... 

So PLEASE Scrol down...


DOWN MORE....  and see the other cards that have been released today too.. The Dogwood card is the beginning of the new day!!!! 

Thanks for stopping by... see ya'll later... Love, Light and Peace...Bonnie 

Wishing you Happiness ALWAYS...


Wishing You Happiness  is for the Just Rite Challenge… this week Sharon has asked that we use a couple of different techniques to create a card… I love stamping with two different inks… and I find is so pretty on these frames… can you tell.???? 


I just wanted to share with you, that these are only a few that I have made… I am also working on a box to send up to my Mom… (at the young age of 91 and still loving to make cards… )  So I make a few of everything I do to send up to her…   For example… I made her 15 frames like these … all different assorted ones… and all different colors… so that she would be able to make some pretty cards too… I also made her 20 or so bunnies… all cut out… as she has macular and can only see out of one eye at the time… so she is very limited with scissors etc… but she is still making cards for all the ‘girls’ in the assisted living quarters… LOL… what a hoot they are… like little kids…

Oh well.. .just wanted to share that with ya’ll…  


This card…which I am calling Bunnies wishing you Happiness…   I really had a fun time with creating it… I had this piece of Anna Griffin ribbon sitting on my work table for well over a month now… and didn’t have the right card to use it on… and finally did… this little bunny scene needed it to carry the flowers from the top of the card to the bottom… where the bow was placed and a bunny sitting on top of the bow!!!  That little bunny is one of those stamps from a collection I have of little bunnies… I must have about 6 of them now… I just think that they are so precious… and of course I only use them for a very short time of each year… but they are cute…  The other one on the card is a stampin up stamp I think??? I bought it from a friend as a single stamp… so there she is… in all her glory… 

(p.s. all the bunnies have fuzzy tails... I used a white flockign on them... so cute...)  


Okay the flowers… they are from Pretties by Bonnie collection of flowers… I made these flowers 1.25 inches and put some dots in the center… with a black pearl so that the flowers would POP!!!! 

The Center of the card!!!  I started with an embossed piece of paper where I used a Cuttlebug folder… and then put a lacey square on top of that… and then a frame from the Kindness set from Just Rite set…  The challenge was to use direct to rubber… and on this one, I used two different ink pads..  or we could use two different markers… but this is ink pads… a very pretty blue and then olive on the edges… you might have to look closely, but they are both there… I cut the frame out by hand and then put the Wishing you Happiness behind it… (which is from the Quiet Moments set)    A few pearls in some locations around the card… and it is complete…

A cute spring card… Spring is on the way… we saw Daffodils two days ago… (2/21/11)  and also a lot of purple flowers in the lawns… so spring is coming… and fast too…  
Hope you can get outside and enjoy the spring weather… it is really quite lovely here… and I am ready to clean up the deck and get that ready for the nicer weather… YEAH!!!!  Warmer weather… and no more white stuff flying around…  Thank goodness for that miracle…   

Have a fun day, no matter what you do or create… and thanks for taking time out of your day to stop by here for a visit… I love it when you stop by and also love the comments that you leave me… thanks so very much…
Love, Light and Peace....Bonnie 

Cabbage Rose

A long time ago, in fact after the Fall CHA, a good friend of mine came over for the day… and we played with ALL her NEW toys that she had bought…. We had a lot of fun… one of the new toys was a die cut system from the Netherlands… and I think it was called Nellie Snedden or something like that… anyway… I had cut out quite a few matching sets of the Butterfly set and also of the flower one… and had used it on a couple of cards… but then I was cleaning up my work area and came across the page with all the extra sets… and decided to use one on this card… I love it… it reminds me of Green cabbages growing… even though it is a rose… that is what it reminds me of… and with the theme of the bunny… hey … they love cabbage… So I am calling this card the Cabbage Rose!!!


With that in mind… I used a Cuttlebug folder for the top border… and cut the center out of it… and then made a braid (butterfly loop stitch) for the oval opening… of course this was all planned, as I did another double inked frame from Just Rite… Again the frame is from the Kindness set… and Thinking of you… it is from the set called Adorable Dragon… anyway… I love the thinking of you and wanted that for this card… After popping the frame on pop dots… it allowed it to sit a little bit higher than the braid… which is what I wanted… I used some of the extra ribbon from the braid for the bow… and added a few flowers from Pretties by Bonnie collection of pretties… of course the leaves are also from Pretties by Bonnie, they are from the Dogwood Collection…


I had just bought a few different colors of gems… and these are the ‘brown’ gems… actually they are a golden rust color… but I do like them with this card…

So there you have it… this might be the last card for this challenge… but I love doing this technique… as you can see… and hope that others will join in on the fun at the Just Rite Blog Challenge… com’on over and join in…






Have a fun day… enjoy every little bit of it.. and create something fun… Thanks for stopping by for a visit and I will look forward to your return… which I hope will be soon…

Love, Light and Peace....Bonnie

Dogwoods in Bloom


A sign of SPRING!!!!! 
So many things happen in the spring, but one true sign that spring is HERE…. Is the dogwood starts to flower…  WE have quite a few dogwoods around the farm… but our favorite one is the DEEP pink one that is in our backyard.. it is a very very deep pink… not pale like the ones on this card… 
 

Okay… so I had more fun… using the Dogwood set from Pretties by Bonnie, I created this card… I also combined a few GREAT frames from Just Rite…   Fancy Labels has these two frames in one set… and I used them both and layered them… a few pop dots and it was done… then I built it all up on a Martha Stewart paper lace frame… and this delicate Victorian print was finally used… a sheet of paper that was so special that I could never use it… finally cut it and have used it… love it… The bow is Anna Griffin Ribbon.. with a button in the center…  


If you look closely I have used a diamond glaze on the dogwoods… and also used a very pale pink gem for the center of each flower… Sending Happy thoughts that your day will be perfect and that spring comes to your neighborhood really soon…

Thanks for stopping by for a visit… and of you are not following my blog, I certainly would love to have you as a follower… Thanks for joining…

Fairy Gardens all around us...



Challenges are so much fun… I love to do them… and even love all the wonderful prizes that I receive… I always put them to very good use… Check out this new challenge that just started at Just Rite...  You will have fun too.... 

Thanks…  

This challenge was actually something that I had done before… but hadn’t done in a very long time… Direct to rubber was the challenge… So I used some markers and started to play… this card.. the Garden Fairy I did a double layered effect using the frame from Kindness set… and then using a border from Birthday Celebrations… I love this sweet one… so very sweet… and the little fairy is from the set called In the Moonlight… I cut her out and propped her up on the frame… she is now a garden fairy… 


The background is a Cuttlebug from the asian set… cherry blossom… and then the Martha set for the paper lace frame…

The FLOWERS…. Why they are from Pretties by Bonnie… where else would they come from… I used a white pearl for the center of each one… and added a few leaves to make the garden complete…

Have a wonderfully delightful day… enjoy a garden around you.. and look for a sweet little fairy and say HI… 
Love, Light and Peace....Bonnie

Wishing You Happiness.....


Again… 

another card for the Just Rite challenge… using the method Direct to rubber… I used my markers on this one.. and then put another oval design.. and layered it.. love this delicate look…
A little background using the Dotted swiss embossing folder… and inked around that… and some delicate lace… 
 

The flowers are from Pretties by Bonnie and I used a gold gel pen for accents… a few pearls… and done…

Have a fun day… and enjoy this pretty day… Love, Light and Peace....Bonnie

Teal and Lavendar Challenge for Just Rite


Another card for the Just Rite Challenge…  

This card is so very different for me… first off it is 4x4 inches… which is very small for me… most of my cards are 5x7 or 6x6.. .and sometimes even larger… I love big cards… but as much as I love big cards… I love this little one too… it is very compact…

I used a  green dotted paper in the background… and put a double lace border on the left side… and then using the method of direct to rubber… I used my markers and created a more delicate look for the frame… which is from Fancy Labels… love these new sets that Just Rite has come out with… they really are my type of stamps… can you tell… 

On this small card, I added two flowers from Pretties by Bonnie… and again used another method of coloring even the flowers… this time I wet the paper that the digitals were printed on… which is also card stock… and then painted the flowers with a marker… and then used another darker marker to go around the edges of each petal… then I cut it out and formed the flower as the paper was still wet… it created a very soft effect for these posies…

Hope you enjoy it… and I also hope you have a wonderful day…
Thanks for stopping by for a visit here…

Sunshine and LOVE



 If anyone told me that they made a card using these colors… I would not think that I would like it.. but this went together and the pink flowers were sitting there waiting to be used… I tried them and loved them on here… I was going to make lavender ones… but loved these… a few other things… like the new stamps from Just Rite… and then some white branches around… and the card was done… 
 The flowers are naturally from Pretties by Bonnie  and colored with twinkling H20's and then a gold gel pen.  

Well what do you think… do you like the color scheme??? Would you use it… ???  I love it.. .and will use it again..

Thanks for stopping in for a break… and hope that you have a wonderfully happy day… Love, Light and Peace....Bonnie

Pink Flowers



I started this card off with a 6inch circle that I cut from a Blue Hill Flower punch… I love these punches… they are so very versatile… you can make a border, 3inch and a 6 inch circle… a square any size and a rectangle any size… and also a 5 inch oval… all with ONE punch… you can not ask for more from a punch… I love them…

Anyway… I also used a Martha punch on the colored paper for the center then top dressed the circle with the saying from Just Rite Stamps… I added a few flowers from Pretties by Bonnie… and added a bow… love the way the card flows… I did add a few of the filigree hearts on the corners… just for a special touch… 


To color my flowers, I use Twinkling H20’s or my tombow markers… and on these I added pearls for the centers… just to give them a little more glitz… yes… that is the way I love it… frilly and fancy…

I want you to know that my house is very tailored, and I dress very tailored… but my cards… well that is another story… lace, frills, and all the fun things… never an empty space… that is for sure…

Hope you have a wonderful day… and thanks for stopping in for a chat… hope that you do leave a message… I love reading them when I can get onto the blog… yes I am having huge problems with getting my cards posted, viewing my own blog… and even getting my mail… but I am giving it the best I have… sorry I can not see what you are doing… but one of these days, as I keep on hoping that things will change and they will tell me that I will have dsl… or a faster method of getting on line!!! You will hear me singing … that is for sure…

Love, Light and Peace....Bonnie

Pink Dots


Pink Dot… I bought some more dotted paper and decided that I have to use some of it… I am trying not to hoard paper any more… and use it, prior to it going out of style… LOL… yes I really feel so much of the paper I have has gone out of style… and that is what I am using for my envelopes… 


Anyway… I love this pretty pink and green card… again … see what I mean… pink and green… a favorite of mine, that is for sure…

Lets start off with the center stamp… From Just Rite… a new one… and I used a sage green ink… and then I put it on a Spellbinder oval beaded… and then onto a doily made from Blue Hill Bird punch…

And the FLOWERS… yes they are from Pretties by Bonnie… and I used the Martha Filigree heart in the corner… a double satin bow made from 1.5 inch wide ribbon… love the lushness of the bow… a few pearls all around… and I love it… and I know just who is going to get it… 


Thanks for stopping in… and I do hope that you have enjoyed this card, as much as I enjoyed making it…
Have a fun day… pink and pretty one too.. .
Love, Light and Peace…Bonnie
