Welcome, Beloved Blogging Buddies! That's BBB for short! Thanks for visiting today.
I hope those in the southern hemisphere are staying warm,
and those in northern hemisphere are staying cool.
We only have one river at flood stage now, still have had intermittent power outages,
but the storms are nothing more than nuisance for us at our home.
Sure wish we could share our rain with those who need it!
The Challenge this month at Scrapy Land is to create
a pocket of some sort with a tag.
To enter the challenge follow the theme and use any die brand that Scrapy Land sells.

My creation accommodates the new Spellbinders Diamondessence die cut set.

The large Diamondessence circle is 4.5" in diameter,
and easily slides in and out of the pocket with room to spare.
Two of the smaller Diamondessence circles cover the seam
and feature the Stampin Up! sentiment.
Nana Connie's blog inspired me to use some Bugaboo images.
This adorable little Winter's Fairy is happy and festive!
The sides of the pocket are folded like a gate-fold card.
Only the bottom of the pocket requires adhesive.
The back of the tag sports a Sue Wilson Italian Collection Decorative Frames.
(Love LOVE this set! Fun, Beautiful and Versatile!)

ReplyDeleteOh, Donna, this is so cute! It's so nice to see you back at Scrapy Land - and creating again! Thanks for showing all the dies you used and how you made this adorable card! I gave up playing at Scrapy Land because only the super-talented ever win. It's discouraging for the newbies - or less talented folks like me hehe - and I need all the encouragement I can get! I did join their Pinterest board today though.

Pretty criss-cross card! I like the contrast of the bold blue with the white die cuts. Its' very striking and also looks so lacy and delicate. Cute image too.
ReplyDeleteOh Donna I just love your sweet tag with that adorable Winter Fairy!! The dies you used to create this masterpiece are awesome and what a great idea to cut the edges off to use as a border! Your Beloved Blogging Buddies made me laugh, we have a nickname for my husband that he is the BBB (Big Bad Bastard)!! So that gave me a whole new way to look at BBB!! By the way, he is really a sweetheart!!
ReplyDeleteWow what a gorgeous creation, love the colours and the lacey dies. You sure know how to put together the die cuts, stamps and colours beautifully. I hope you are doing well, enjoy the rain... Hugs, Shirleyxx

Donna, Here I go again, right in the middle of making your comment last night our power went out something about a tree so we sat for 3 plus hours waiting for the power to go back on Just thought I would tell you. I finally got some time to leave some comments been so busy. Got Isaiah off to SD sure did not want to see him go but school starts soon and being a senior this year time will go fast for him but I do have to say it is nice to have time now for myself. I forget how much time kids take. Thank you for your nice comments. Sorry for being so late.
ReplyDeleteYour card is almost the same as mine. I love the blue so crisps and thanks for sharing how you created the V-Shape pockets very nice. The embossing with the white is a really nice touch. Hope your week end is nice.
Hugs, Pat♥
Beautiful work with those dies, Donna, and nice way to stretch their uses! Love the borders you created! I've done that with scallops, but, oh my, the possibilities still awaiting! Fabulous pocket card with a darling image. We could use some of that rain. I told Rich it seems like it's not long before the forest fires all meet in the middle and burn everything up. Not good out west here.
ReplyDeleteLove your pretty pocket card with the lovely dies....beautiful with blue and white together. Thanks for joining our 'Q for Quantum Leap ' challenge at ABC Christmas Challenge.

Donna, my precious friend, this is a wintry delight filled with the utmost beauty! The dies are gorgeous, but even more inspiring is always your use of them. :o) The interior is brilliant... it's the sweetest combination of whimsy and elegance. :o) I love every beautiful inch of your work, which is always the case! You are such an inspiration.
ReplyDeleteAlso, thank you for your kind words regarding my friend. I appreciate it (and you) so much. I am returning to Blogger tonight, but am so overwhelming behind that I can only comment on one post from everyone... I really dislike doing this, but it's the only way I can get back on track during this tough patch. Thank you for being YOU.. always know how much you mean to me! Sending so many hugs your way tonight.
Hugs and blessings,
Karen
