Turning the Page April 2022

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

Time to turn the page on our calendars to a new month.

 

I make calendars each year for my desk and my family.

 

I thought I'd set up a regular post on the last day of each month to share them.

 

I hope you enjoy my “Turning the Page” posts.

 

Here's our April page using the Wisteria Stencil from TCW.

 By the way, the calendars are 4 ½ inches by 7 inches.

They can be clipped together and can be displayed on an easel or hung

on a push pin or magnetic hook.  We all have a different way to display them.

 

If you would like a word document with the calendar, email me (bonklass(at)gmail(dot)com.

and I will be glad to send it to you so you can design your own.

If your email address is not in your profile, I have no way to send this to you.

 

Email link is in my profile on the sidebar.

Enjoy!

Purple Spring

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

Spring is almost here.

At least we hope so!

The Flower Challenge is asking for...

I used this NBUS stencil that a dear friend gifted me and  inked the

wisteria up in purple ink.

I cut the piece in half and die two mini slimline cards.

I added some ink blending around the stenciled design.

Here's the second.

I used a technique by Eileen Godwin for this one.

It's a bookmark tied on a card base.

The card bases are a mini slimline 6 1/4" x 3 1/4"

Maybe a good Easter card....

It's the first outing for the stencil and the rabbit so I'll share this with

NBUS (Never Before Used Schtuff)

Thanks for the visit and special thanks for your comments.

Enjoy!

Sunflower Times Four

Hi there.  I'm glad you stopped by!

Here's another of the Split Four technique.

 

I used a TCW Stencil and used a sponge dauber to add color with Distress ink.

I started with Mustard Seed then added some Spiced Marmalade Distress Oxide ink

to the center of each petal

The sentiment above is from PTI.

The ones below are from Tim Holtz.

I added some Wink of Stella to the petals on the card below.

There's still time to join in at CAS Mix Up where we're using stencils this month.

Thanks for the visit and special thanks for your comments.

Enjoy!
