With Love and Prayers for Ukraine

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

What is going on in Ukraine is beyond disturbing.

So many are displaced, having to leave their beloved country.

I am privileged to know a young man from Ukraine.

He is a high school junior on exchange here.  We volunteer together and

have had a little chance to talk about his family.  

Thankfully they are in Poland now in a refugee camp.

Not the best situation but they are safe.

When I saw that Color Hues was asking for cards to honor Ukraine

and to send the card, I had to join in.

I used the colors of their flag and a sunflower.

If you would like to send him a card, let me know through the contact form on my sidebar.

And please keep the people of Ukraine in your thoughts and prayers.

Thank you, my friends.

Turning the Page March 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 March page using Easter Blossoms by SU (retired)

 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!

Snowflake Joy

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

My apologies to those of you who are sick of snow.

I was inspired by this card by Vicky Papaioannou.

I used a 3D embossing folder to emboss the snowflakes on kraft cardstock.

I found that I was way too messy dragging an ink pad over the embossing or even

using a sponge dauber.  So I used a cotton swab dipped in white pigment ink and daubbed

on the raised portions.

I added some die cuts over top and it was done.

Unfortunately it took several tries to get a good photo! Grrr!

Challenges:

Christmas Kickstart - Sentiment Takes Center Stage

Peace on Earth - ATG Christmas

Rudolph Challenge - ATG Christmas

Edited to add:

Can You Handle the Pressure - Anything embossed. (Thanks for the reminder, D & D.)

 

Card Recipe

Stamps:  

Ink:   Whisper White

Paper:   Kraft, Real Red, Neenah Solar White

Other:  Winter Snowflakes EF (SZ), Abundant Joy Die (Greetery), Stitched Alpiine Snowflakes Dies (PS)

Enjoy!

Two Fer Christmas

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

Challenges are getting ready to close so I'm hurrying to get these in.

First up for Jingle Belles...

I used a retired embossing folder for most of the pine branches and

gently rubbed some ink over the raised design with a sponge dauber and

Distress Oxide ink.  The branches on top were die cut and sponged also.  Then I

added a little glue and some glitter to make the branches sparkle.

The stocking has been die cut and embossed for texture. I found these little

pom-poms in my stash.  They sparkle!

As you can see the glitter has stuck all over the card front.

I'll have a sparkly Christmas box!

My twofer....

My sweet friend Christine is hosting at CAS Christmas and is

asking for a Winter scene.

I hemmed and hawed about what to do for this challenge and ended up with...

A die cut scene and added little die cut house.  I wanted to hang a wreath

on the door, but couldn't fine anything small enough.

Another very schparkly card!

Challenges:

ABC Christmas Challenge - C for CAS or D for Distressing

CAS Christmas - Winter Scene

Jingle Belles - Stocking Holiday
