Pretty and Pink

Hi and Happy Wednesday! I found the template for this watering can on SCS here. ( at bottom of page) I just had to try it! It was a fairly simple project and one I think I will do often. It would be such a wonderful party favor or tray decoration! It just says summer to me! Hope you like it, too! Come by again soon and have a blessed day!

Envelope Album

I want to share an envelope album today. I used white cardstock for the cover and three business size envelopes for the inner pockets. The pocket covers and the belly band are from printed paper. I also used a Fiskars border punch on the cover flap. The inner pockets have inserts for added photos or journaling. It is a bit time consuming but a relatively easy album to make. Great way to use up those business reply envelopes we are always getting in the mail. If you have questions or comments, please let me know.
Hope you will visit again soon! Blessings to you!

Molly Has A Winner!

Yep, here she is in her favorite spot, My Bed!! But before she decided to lounge a while she did pick a winner for the blog candy card. And the winner is PAIGE! Congratulations! Please send me an email with your address and we will get your card out to you right away! We had 22 comments and Molly's foot stepped right on Paige's! Guess you could say she won by a nail (toenail that is). I want to thank all of you who participated in my little celebration! It was a lot of fun for me and Molly. But now the cats are pouting, so, I have promised them they can pick the next time!
Several have asked about the card offered as blog candy. (see previous post) It is a printed card from Print Picnic. Look under Mother's Day cards. It is a bit tedious to put together but well worth the effort. I used their pot as a template and made my own color. Then I stamped it with a flourish stamp by stamping off first. I also added Creative Writers glitter paint to the flower centers. Gotta have the bling! A sentiment card can be added into the flowers or on the base. I hope you try it and link us up so we can see your version! Okay, Molly wants to go outside so I'll catch up to you all later! Blessings to all!

A Little Blog Candy Thank you!

Woohoo! I'm excited! Can you tell! This little blog just went over 1000 hits! That far exceeds any expectations I had! If it goes to 5000, I may get "the vapors"! As a small thank you (I wish I could do more), I want to offer this floral pop up card to a lucky winner! It is a stand alone card that can be used for any occsion where you might want to send a little bouquet. I purposely left off any sentiment for that reason. It folds flat for mailing, too. Let's see! This is my first time at this so we need to keep it interesting! Just leave a comment on this post by midnight July 12th and I will announce the winner on Monday! The winner will be chosen by "random.dog". I will put all the names on slips of paper, toss them in a jar, shake it well and throw names on the floor. Then I will call in my dog, Molly. Whatever name is under her right hind leg will be the winner! Sorry, folks, it's the best I know how to do!!

I want to thank eveyone who has visited Bountiful Blessings and a very special thank you to those who come by often. You are all precious to me and bring me great joy! Okay, let's get to blurfing some more! I've got blessings to pass around!!

A Fun Thank You

Hello everyone! This is a fun thank you card I made using patterned paper mounted on cream colored cardstock. The "thank you" is raised on a dimensional and is from a clear stamp from Inkadinkadoo. Have a blessed day!

Rev It Up!

Hello Everyone!
I thought I would give the paper crafts a rest for today and share a cake I made for our pastor's birthday. He rides a motorcycle so I couldn't resist this image I found. No, I'm not an artist by any means!! I add images to cakes by printing them off on freezer paper! The wax side down makes for easier removal when you are ready to slice the cake. And freezer paper is much more accessable as well as cheaper than rice paper! Give it a try! I would love to see a pic of your work! Please email me or leave a comment with a link!! Sharing ideas is what makes crafting so much fun and so rewarding! Thanks for the visit and come by again soon! Blessings to you!

My Little Chickadee

Good day to everyone! I thought I would share some details about the picture you see on my blog. This little birdhose is a cute accent piece for a windowsill or table top. It's not just a birdhouse, but also a candy box! It also makes a great gift box for small items such as jewelry. The box opens by lifting the left side of the roof. This box is made with printed cardstock on a white cardstock base. The flowers are punched with a Martha Stewart punch and 1/4" circle centers. The little bird I purchased from a craft store.The eggs are mini jelly beans. This is definitely one of my favorites. I keep the picture on my blog as it always makes me smile. I would love to design and make one of these little houses for you in your choice of colors. Just email me with your order and any questions you may have. Thanks for visiting today and blessings to you!
