Music is Life

Hello everyone

Thanks for stopping in today. 

Today is the first Tuesday of the month and it's time for my project for Craft-Dee BowZ. Each month the challenge  theme for submitters to the Craft-Dee BowZ challenge is always Anything Goes. However, the designers have a theme for their Tuesday posts and our theme for May

 is Music to my Ears.

Well let me tell ya, I just had no musical themed items in my stash. 

So off I went, on a quest, to find just the right items and I was very successful. 

Let me share with you my finished card and then I will list below what I used.

This was a fun theme and I love all the items I was able to add to the card.

My bow was made with satin ribbon and I made a triple loop bow. 

Here is a closer view.

I used my CDB bow maker to make this bow.
I love this tool, it's easy to use and easy to store or even travel with.

A Bird Does Not Sing

Hi Everyone,
Happy Saturday and welcome to May (Holy Moly!! I can't believe it's May already.)  Since it's the 1st of the month, it's time for another Craft-Dee BowZ challenge. The designers always start out the month with an inspiration piece over on the CDB blog.

For my inspiration piece, I decided to use a bird stamp from the Dina Wakley Scribbly Birds set.

I love the birds in this set. They are so cheery

I added some greenery, a few little pink flowers and some designer paper, embossed the right half of the card and of course added a bow. 

I decided a triple loop bow would be the right size bow to finish this card off.

Here's a close view of my triple loop bow.

The Craft-Dee BowZ tool really is a great bow maker.

 It's what I use to make all my bows.

It goes where you go. 

The dowels store inside! 

Take it with you to stamp parties too!

If you are bow making challenges, this is the tool for you.

Craft-Dee BowZ Challenge for May

Hi Everyone.
Today is May 1!!! I have 2 posts for today and they are both about challenges, so scroll down to check out the other post.

Today is a big day over at Craft-Dee BowZ. They are beginning to host a monthly challenge on their blog.
Their theme this month is: Anything Goes with Handmade Bows.

The theme is really wide open, you can use stamps or digital images made by ANY company. Boy that make it so easy to submit something, doesn't it!!!

Also they have a monthly prize, a Bow Maker tool. So if you are bow making challenged, you have to enter this challenge to win this easy to use  tool.

Since you can use a bow on anything, I used a clear box. I added a piece of DP to the top and bottom of the box and then added the ribbon and a bow. I actually used 2 different types of ribbon and made these bows in two different sizes, then stacked them together. Here are 2 pic's of the box.

This box was hard to photograph, first its a clear box so I added designer paper to the box to be able to photograph it better. Next, as I was taking the pic's it was hard to see the bow from the front shot so I photographed from more of a top down angle as well.

Thanks for stopping in today. Scroll down for one more post for today!!
