Hello My Friend

Hello everyone

Welcome to March!! 

You know the ole folklore saying "in like a lion out like a lamb"  or vise versa.

 Here is a spot that has some good info about this old folklore.

Here are some great things that March usually brings:

• Spring begins this month
•  the time changes this month (which I really don't care for)
•  warmer weather
•  green grass. 

So many things start to change in March.

March 1 is also the start of the next Craft-Dee BowZ challenge and the sponsor is 

Kinda Cute

The winner will receive

 3 digital images 

I decided to use the cutest image  (IMHO) - Nina

She looked like she is sitting with something on her lap, 

so, I made it look like she was reading a book.

Here is a closer view of my bow.

I made a triple loop bow for this card and added a silk flower on top of the knot.

If you are a bow challenged crafter, the Craft-Dee BowZ will end that dilemma. 

There are instructions that come with the tool as well as a whole host of youtube videos that will guide you along.

This small tool is easy to store or take with you to a crop or a friends house.

This tool is small but makes some mighty cool bows.

Order yours thru the Craft-Dee BowZ site here

I hope you’ve enjoyed my project. Hope you will link a project in the Craft-Dee BowZ monthly challenge. Don’t forget the theme every month is always Anything Goes with a Handmade Bow.  Also, on each Tuesday of the month, a different designer will post over on the Craft-Dee BowZ blog to inspire you!

A Butterfly Fairy

Hi Everyone,

Today is the last Tuesday of March and I am here with the last March post over at Craft-Dee BowZ

This month we have had Cute As A Button as our sponsor and we have had the pleasure of using their images in our posts. 

This month we designers were to use a fairy and 

we also were given paint chips to incorporate in our projects as well. 

 I chose Butterfly Fairy image and here she is on my card. 

I added vellum wings to give her a 3-D effect. I just traced the wings onto vellum and tucked the wings behind her hair. I just used a kraft knife to gently cut slits to be able to slip the wings in.

I added some flowers to the top left on the card. This little bouquet started out as all white and I just added some pink lines and some dots, giving these blooms life

Next, here is a close-up of my bow. 

It's is a double loop bow, 

and I used a beautiful purple satin ribbon.

Don't forget it's not to late to enter the March CDB challenge. 

And the winner will receive 2 single digital images from our sponsor - Cute As A Button.

 Click here to visit the Cute As A Button store and check out all those cute digital images.
