Berry Best

Hi there.  I'm so glad you stopped by!

It's been a busy couple of weeks here.  After adjusting to a quieter lifestyle
with the lockdown, I seem to have taken on a slower way of getting things done.
Now I'm delighted to be able to see my friends, but sometimes struggle to
keep up.  It's all worth it in the end to have good times and laughs with friends!


Here's a card we made in last week's class using items from Stampin' Up's last
Sale-a-bration.  As usual, it's sat in my NBUS box until it's been discontinued.

I used some leftover pieces to do some similar cards.


and also...


Challenges:
Time Out - Hungry
NBUS - Never Before Used Schtuff

I love these! That paper is one of my favorites and your watercolor-style berries are beautiful!!

Vicky Hayes said...

That blue is heavenly Bonnie and I love the paper and blueberry images. The twinchies you've made with the stamp are perfect for pairing with the different placements of the paper. I'm so glad you're able to catch up with friends again and I think there's a lot to be said for a slower pace of life. Vicky x

Love your sweet berry cards. Love the blue (my favorite color).

Brenda in IN said...

That blue is such a wonderful shade. The plaid looks beautiful and the sprigs are so pretty. Those are great designs. I have slowed down too and it's okay. Takes me a while to get something done. I think about it for several days before I take any action!

Beautiful bright blue gingham panel and Blue and Green blue berry image, Bonnie. Your girlfriends must have loved their fun project. TFS Hugs...Nancy
P.S. I have been busy picking blueberries and loganberries...love this time of year. Luckily we have been spared the awful smoke from the fires thanks to our wonderful west coast Pacific Ocean winds:-)

All three berry cards are so pretty and summery, Bonnie! I love that you often show us cards with a different design, using the same supplies! The watercolor-look blueberries and the color-matched gingham dsp are so beautiful!

Mac Mable said...

I couldn't agree more with your opening comment Bonnie and I feel the same x.
Wow ..... what great cards with a fabulous eye catching design with all three and wonderful water colouring Bonnie x.

Nstiz said...

I sure do love those colors and how well that paper matches your stamping! Three great designs using the same products and I'm hard pressed to come up with even one. These really are very visually appealing and I love your subtly embossed backgrounds.

Pat said...

Beautiful berry stamps and love the plaid paper and the subtle texture of the EF Bonnie and such pretty shades of blue too. x

TK said...

Ohhhh these are fantastic! Love the beautiful blueberry, and you used him beautifully -- they are all such wonderful cards!

Oh my goodness Bonnie, these are amazing - love the plaid done in the blues, and the fabulous siting of the image and sentiment panels
Stay safe
Blessings

Lovely card. The blue is beautiful. [Bunny]

Brenda said...

Glad you are getting out and enjoying life once again Bonnie! Yes, it can be a struggle to keep up with the pace after such a long lockdown, but so well worth it! I adore your berry cards! They are so beautiful, loving that paper as well but it is that image that I'm in love with. Such beautiful blues and a beautiful color combo. Hugs, Brenda

Marcia Hill said...

I had to have this berry set too Bonnie, and mine is still sitting unused...grrrrr! I love, LOVE your cards though...CAS and absolutely perfect!! Hugs. :0)

Bobby said...

Leftovers are great when you actually use them to make fabulous cards like these, Bonnie. I love the berry stamp and the font on the sentiment.

Christine Alexander said...

I love it when you get to make extra cards with some left overs, especially these blueberry cards (one of my fav fruits and it's blueberry season her ♥)

Sandma's Handmade Cards said...

Beautiful cards Bonnie. The blue that you've used has such a dramatic impact against the white card. I know exactly what you mean about things getting slower during lockdown. I think it's that you just have to slow down to fill the time. I'm just hoping that we don't have another one in the Autumn/Winter. Your cards are beautiful x

Sandy said...

Blueberries are a super food and you can always find them in my refrigerator. Now I can find them on your blog as well. Your creations have a real homespun feel - Love the embossed background. I don't often see you use so many layers. Really like all the design elements you have used.
Just as a side, my cat's name is BOO and sometimes I call him Booberry!

Monica C. said...

Just wow! These cards are so beautiful! That white and blue are gorgeous together and I loventhe plaid element with the overlapping focal point. Thank you for the inspiration.
Hugs Monica

Loll said...

Love the gingham paired with this sweet berry card Bonnie! It looks amazing in all the different layouts. Great work, my friend! xx

Ros Crawford said...

They are absolutely beautiful Bonnie... I love that blue! Happy to hear things are getting back to some normality for you... It's always good seeing our friends.

Leslie Miller said...

Wow, pretty, and the paper is just perfect with the blueberries. The paper looks totally watercolored. I'm just glad to be here trying to catch up with all the things I missed in the last few weeks. I do see my friends, but we have lunches and get togethers in our homes, rather than going out. Still wearing masks in public. Our choice.

HilaryJane said...

I am feeling exactly the same about keeping up, I am glad I am not alone. Love these cards, such a great colour xx

Heather said...

So pretty, Bonnie, I love that blue and green together.

Trina P. said...

These are beautiful. Love the colour.
