I don't know how many packages of napkins I have, but every time I'm in a gift store, target, wallmart, home goods or similar store, I buy napkins. There are so many pretty designs!!! So I was really excited when I came across this tut from Roni http://inkstainswithroni.blogspot.com/2010/07/layered-napkin-collage.html. Go check out her blog. She has a lot more ways to use your napkins. I immediately wanted to try this, and I thought it would be cool to make my own background paper with this technique. So all the credit for this technique goes to Roni, but I wanted to share with you the steps I took to make my LO.<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">I started by glueing some book and music paper on a piece of cardstock</div><br />

</div>As some of you might know my hubby is an avid pilot. He loves anything that flies! His nickname here in Texas is "The Red Baron", I don't know why, but everythime somebody hears him on the radio when flying, they say "hey, that's the red baron!" Of course, it is easy to recognize him, because of his "funny accent" LOL (english is not our native language). For this LO I combined some dictionary paper, masks, ephemera, stamps and some cut-outs of Webster's Pages paper. It is a bit different than my usual layouts, so I would love to hear what you think.<br />
<br />
TFL and happy creating!<br />

</div>I have this bird already since the Timster cruise last year, so I thought that it was about time to do something with it. I first glued some dictionary paper on the bird with Modpodge, then I painted it with blue metallic paint. When it was dry I dipped my finger in some gold rub 'n buff and lightly rubbed over the blue paint. I embellished the bird with cheese cloth, lace, watchparts, some Tim idea-ology and Vintaj charms. The stand I painted first with brown paint, then white paint, then sanded it and again rubbed some gold rub 'n buff on it. <br />
Et voila.... altered bird. Here are some more photos<br />

</div>Here is my entry for Robin Shakoor's "I'm a Littlebit Vintage" challenge for the Swirly Girls Club over @ Swirlydoos. The challenge is to use a photo of yourself as a baby or little girl and to tell some things that people have said about you when you were growing up. I can't remember anything specific that people said about ME when I was little. People always talked and asked about my sister (They still do! LOL). She was a real cutie when she was little, and she still is more extravert and easier to talk to than I am. I am more the quite type, not so outspoken. I was/am the typical "big" sister, looking out for her, my family, my friends. I do remember that my mom told me that I was an easy baby and todler. Never cried much, and when she would put me down somewhere with some toys, I would happily play and stay at the same spot where she left me. And that is what I still do. Put me in my scraproom and I will stay there for hours !!! Totally happy, and no desire to do something else or go anywhere else. <br />
<br />
For this LO I used primarily fabrics and only very little paper. The big flower is (of cours) made with Tim's tattered florals die.<br />
<br />
Thanks for looking and happy creating!<br />

Hi y'all, <br />
Today I had so much fun. I made this frame from all of the little scraps of metal I kept in a box. I always feel good when I'm using my scraps. I saw this idea at the Great American Scrapbook Convention in Arlington last month and it was made by Cheryl Darrow of Ten Seconds Studio. So I can't take credit for the design. The technique is also explained in one of her Taco Tuesday videos. If you're interested, here is the link: <a href="http://www.tensecondsstudio.com/videos/062210.html">http://www.tensecondsstudio.com/videos/062210.html</a> . What is my idea is to color and stamp the magnetic board inside the frame. I first colored the board with alcohol inks and then stamped with Stazon ink. Normally I don't work with very bright colors, but I love how this turned out.<br />
<br />
Thanks for visiting my blog and I hope y'all have a safe and happy 4th of July!<br />
<br />
Bonnie<br />

</div>Inspired by the beautiful artwork of Audrey Underwood and the gorgeous papers and chipboard shapes of Collections I created this 20" x 10" Canvas. I first decorated the inchies, twinchies and trinchies with scraps of paper. Then I painted and sanded the various chipboard shapes and added some lace, cheesecloth, german scraps and metal embellishments. I had a blast during this whole process, and I'm already thinking about the next project :o) !<br />
<br />

(Here is a link to the first heirloom kit I got from her <a href="http://labonita-bonnie.blogspot.com/2010/04/canvas-album.html">http://labonita-bonnie.blogspot.com/2010/04/canvas-album.html</a>) Carol is soooo talented and her designs are stunning, and then the fabrics and other embellishments she selected for this album... she really has an eye for vintage beauty. When I opened my box, I was so overwhelmed by the gorgeousness inside, I could only sit down, touch and caress everything and SMILE! <br />
<br />
Anyway, although it is not my design and I only followed Carol's clear and very details instructions that come with the kit, I still want to show of the end product, because I'm so very pleased with it. I still have to find the right photo's to fill it with, but here it is (drumroll) .... The French Marketplace Album<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">The LO is based on a sketch of the very talented Beggahuna. The photo shows my Mom when she was 18 years old. The chipboard vine is from Dusty Attic. </div><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">This LO is a lift of GabrielleP's Style Baby LO. Here is the link to the gorgeous original http://www.scrapbook.com/galleries/84905/view/2782107/-1.html . The photo shows me 1 year old. I used Tim's texture fades on the blue cardstock and the gold shimmer paper. </div><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">The photo is of my grandparents approx. 1960. I used a MS border punch and a DA chipboard frame.</div><br />
<br />

The photo was taken last week when DH surprised me with a long weekend trip to NYC for our anniversary. The chipboard fence is from Dusty Attic and the large flowers is made from Prima packaging with Tim's Tattered Floral die. <br />
<br />

In the kit there is also a silver glittery Anna Griffin diecut that I cut up and colored with Stazon inks. The large flowers is made from metal and Tim's Tattered Florals die. I used texture fades on the gold shimmer paper and the green strip. The photo shows my DSS and his GF. <br />
<br />
These were my last layouts for Swirlydoos as a DT member. My six months term is up, and now it is time for two other Swirlydoos members, Angelica <a href="http://angelicascrappenings.blogspot.com/">http://angelicascrappenings.blogspot.com/</a> and Tina <a href="http://tina-mypaperpantry.blogspot.com/">http://tina-mypaperpantry.blogspot.com/</a> , to inpire us with their creations. I truly enjoyed my time on the DT team and I want to thank Krissy for this opportunity and the other DT members for being part of such a friendly, talented and inspiring team.<br />
Happy creating!<br />

This makes me so mad that people destroy other people's work just because they CAN!!! It really makes no sense at all! It also makes me sad, because we Swirlies lost our favorite hangout place. The place where we could show, share, care, support, learn , laugh, cry, create, celebrate, document all the events and persons that are important in our lives. It is always the first and last place I go to when I start or end my day. I love that it is a safe place to meet friends. Yes friends, because although I haven't met most Swirlies in person, it really feels as if we know each other very well.<br />
<br />
<br />
Anyway, they might have destroyed our virtual world, but they can't take away our Swirly spirit. I'm sure that the new Swirlydoos website will be even better than before. In the meantime, stay tuned on the Swirlydoos blog, because all Swirly communications will go thru there, as well as the reveal of the July kit tomorrow! <br />
<br />
CU tomorrow for the reveal of the LO's I did with the Swirly July kit!<br />

</div>Here is my entry for Rae's SGC challenge over @ Swirlydoos (5 buttons, 3 ribbons/fibres and 1 stamp). I actually started this LO as a lift of Manda's LO at the RR challenge, but I coudn't make it work right. So I tried it again for this challenge. Photo of DH on Sunset Blv in October last year. TFL<br />

This is my lift of Manda's "Grad" LO for the Round Robin challenge over @ Swirlydoos. I used a chipboard frame i.s.o. the die-cut paper. The lace and canvas flowers are (again) made with Tim's die (LOVE that die). The grungeboard letters of the title are covered with Tim's new tissue tape and than colored with tumbled glass distress ink. Some of the flowers and the cheese cloth behind the photo are sprayed with Glimmer Mist. The two chipboard frames are painted with acrylic paint and then distressed with gold and silver paint. Thanks for taking a peek! <br />

This is my entry for the butterfly challenge over @ Swirlydoos. The entire LO is made of scraps. I colored the large butterfly with alcohol inks. The smaller butterflies are punched out of scraps of the Swirlydoos June kit. The hanging lamps is from Dusty Attic, which I painted with white acrylic paint and distressed with brown, gold and light blue paint. <br />
<br />
TFL and have fun creating!<br />

I just LOVE her vintage designs and thru these kits I'm learning a lot about incorporating chipboard in your art. There are so many new products on the market that I kinda forgot about chipboard. But now I re-discovered it again and intend to use it a lot more in my future projects. Thanks for taking a peek.<br />
Have fun creating!<br />

This month's kit is again uber gorgeous with the beautiful Ella Blue papers, stunning flowers and an abundance of the most amazing embellies. So much to choose from, which makes working with this kit pure pleasure. <br />
This LO showcases a picture of DSD Stephanie. I colored the felt with glimmer mist and the swirls with alcohol ink. The flower is made of fabrics and lace with Tim's Tattered Florals die. <br />

Recently I have totally fallen in love with the products of Collections. They have a gorgeous line of 6 x 6 papers and some pretty chipboard shapes. The little birdhouses as shown in my previous post are also from Collections. Last week I saw some super cute spools on Julie van Oosten's blog and I knew I just had to make them too. She also posted a tutorial. Here is the link: <a href="http://nirvanaelements.blogspot.com/2010/05/happy-spools.html">http://nirvanaelements.blogspot.com/2010/05/happy-spools.html</a> . Check it out! They are fun and really easy to make. They are a great way to use up your tiny scraps and those chipboard circles that I never knew what to do with. The pin cushion spool is a design from Audrey Underwood and is available as a kit <a href="http://www.yourcreativewings.com/index.php">http://www.yourcreativewings.com/index.php</a>. <br />
<br />
Hope y'all have a great Memorial weekend!<br />

</div>While surfing the internet I came accross this beautiful birdhouse and I immediately fell in love with it. It is designed by Maxine Hazebroek and it is totally fun to make. I learned a lot of new techniques and new ways to use "old" techniques. Go check out her store for beautiful products and and inspiration http://maxinesmelange.com/ <br />
<br />
I'm really happy with how this turned out and even my hubby was totally impressed with the result. TFL <br />

Here is my lift of Tammy's LO for the RR challenge over at Swirlydoos. I was so inspired by her LO, it took me "no time" to do it. So much fun! The pictures are of my beautiful stepdaughter Stephanie. The flowers at the bottom are hand made with Tim's Tattered Florals die and I made "Mandy's pins" in matching colors. <br />
<br />
Enjoy your Friday!<br />

This is my entry for Lavona's May Altering Item Challenge over @ SB.com. This month's twist is to use at least 2 or 3 buttons. So I thought that this was a great opportunity to make something to store my buttons. I used an inexpensive lunch box tin, which I picked up at Michaels. I covered it with paper from the Prima Shabby Chic Collection and some lace and decorated it with a chipboard frame and and buttons from Jenni Bowlin, 7Gypsies and my stash.

One is hosted by Tina: Distress and Layer. The challenge is to use at least 6 layers, all distressed and we had to make a rose. I used Tim's new Retro Grunge papers. The roses on the top right corner are made from metal and the rose at the bottom left corner is made of PP and UTEE. The flowers under the rose are PP covered grunge paper. Photo of DH and DS. <br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">The other one is hosted by yours trully. The challenge is to make your own background paper from scraps. I keep my scraps by color in plastic envelopes and every now and then I'll take one of these envelopes and create a "new" piece of 12 x 12 paper. Just arrange your scraps and glue them on a piece of cardstock or "ugly" paper. The idea of the scalloped strip with the ribbon and roses is taken from one of my favorite artists Gabrielle Pollacco. </div><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">The basis for this frame is an inexpensive Ikea mirror, which I covered with one of the new papers from the Shabby Chic paper stack of Tim Holtz. Then I used some Viva Ferro paste in the upper left corner and stamped it with a script stamp. After drying I painted it with silver paint dabber and distressed it with the new distress ink color Pumice Stone. I think this is my new favorite color as it seems to go with everything. The lace stamps are from the Artistic Stamper and again I used the Pumice Stone distress ink. For the flourishes and the large flower I used TSS metal in the new color Bronzed God and he new Timster dies Tattered Florals and Elegant Flourishes. To give the metal some "body" I made a "sandwich" out of cardstock, adhesive sheet and metal before I ran it thru my Big Kick. The roses are made with the same paper as used for the background and then dipped in UTEE. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Thanks again for taking the time to read my blog,</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Bonnie</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

I had a blast working with them. <br />

This month's papers are so beautiful by itself , so that is why I used one sheet to cover this box. I just love to decorate containers.<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">There is a little story behind the title of this mini album: when my BIL was visiting last month, he made some beautiful photo portraits of the children. Back in The Netherlands he e-mailed me some low resolution files, and made me promise that I wouldn't print them until he was back here with the HR files (mind you, he and my sis are here NOW! ). But of course, I couldn't wait that long, so I DID print them !!! Hence the title "Forbidden Pictures". I used Tim's new Tattered Florals and On the Edge dies.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

I made this LO for the round robin challenge over at Swirlydoos. This is the second lift of this LO. Mandy made the original, then it was lifted by Rae, and this is my take. I used one of Tim's new paperpacks - Shabby Chic. Photo of DH's grandparents (sitting); DH's father is the second from the right standing. Just love these old pictures. <br />

Thanks for visiting and see you next time!<br />

Inspired by the art of Jenny Jones and Julie van Oosten I lifted their paper tiles idea and made my version of it. First I cut a piece of cardboard into 2 x 2 inch squares. Then I glued some scraps of paper on them and distressed them. I embellished the squares with some ideaology and other stuff from my stash. For the background I used a very inexpensive mirror from Ikea, which I painted with Gesso, paint dabber and distress ink. Thanks for looking<br />
