Anyone looking at these big smiles would clearly know what fun Bobby Hagen and I have when we get together. It only happens two times a year, but at the end of the day, we are so blessed to share this time, fun, food, and friendship.
We keep a running tally between visits [and I say we, but really it's Bobby who is our fabulous Secretary] of the items we'd like to share. There are two little #Wplus9 sets that we chose to share this time!
Here is my little card using Bobby's Punny Produce: Pears:
I totally agree with this statement!
I heat embossed on vellum, did Copic coloring on the back, and Distress coloring on the front.
I also borrowed Wplus9's Pear dies ... which are not actually meant to cut the pun-y pears - but to stand alone in a great way!
I am already thinking of a new set that my friend recently got ... can you guess what it is, Bobby? Here is a hint - it could be from Altenew! Cannot wait to see what Bobby created with my little #Wplus9 Peach set ... or until next time we get together ... I must run to Bits & Pieces to see! Won't you come, too?
Thank you all for the visit, today - have a wonderful weekend!

You put me to shame, Michele. I saw you working on the vellum pears but that die cut one is sensational. You watercolored it beautifully and then added that little strip of green polka dots. I think your cards are pear-fect. Your mojo is back in full force. :)
ReplyDeleteYes, the two of you do make a great pair/pear!!!! I am especially taken with your second card = to off set that die cut and the perfect coloring is awesome! Topping it off with that little strip of polka dotted paper - genius!
ReplyDeleteSuch lovely picture and sweet cards! The second one my favorite, love that splash of colors
ReplyDeleteWhat fun and love the water colouring. When I went to stay with Nonni in Finland we had such fun crafting together x
ReplyDeleteIt's always FUN to visit your blog, Michele :) I love how you colored the pears on vellum, and the postage die cut border is really perfect on this card! You also did an amazing job on the die cut pear on your 2nd card...WOW! I love how you added so much texture to the image, and the spatters on your background are fabulous (I always forget to do that) ~ Great photo of you and Bobby, too...I can tell you girls had a blast!!!
ReplyDeleteHow fun it is to get together with a crafty friend. You two look so happy in the picture!
ReplyDeleteGreat cards using Bobby's pear stamps and dies. xx
Nothing nicer than catching up with friends (except cuddling grandkids that is). So nice to get together and catchup. Great cards, love the design of both. That postage stamp die is brilliant too for highlighting images.
ReplyDeletePunny thing, I used my W9Plus or is it WPlus9.... You know what I mean, anyway used my Pear dies for the first time the other day. Havent posted the card yet but just thought it was punny you mention them and I finally used mine for the first time. Dont know what took me so long, they are so cute.
I would day this is a perfect "pear" of cards!! Love the soft coloring on the pears Michele, very pretty. then you have those sweet polka dots peeking out...cute!!
ReplyDeleteYou two are such a cute pear--ha ha ha ha! I adore the cards you made when you were playing cards with Bobby! Your technique fantastic! How lucky are you two to get together so often!
ReplyDeleteSo fun!! What a neat technique on the first (with fabulous results I might add), and your second card is one of my favorites ever...ever ever. I love every last thing about it!! Your watercoloring is incredible! I think this one should be framed!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful cards, Michele, and what great fun you two must have had!
ReplyDeleteBoth cards are just beautiful, Michele! And both of you, too :)! Thank you for sharing the happy photo! I love your watercoloring with so many details even on a small image!
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful weekend!
What wonderful cards, Michele! The watercoloured pears on your first card look delish - so gorgeously done! And on your second card, I can't help crushing on the wee peek of the DP behind the offset diecut, and the little splatters of matching ink. Well done!
ReplyDeleteGreat photo of you guys. Sounds like you have so much fun together!! Your cards are fantastic, love the water coloring. Just beautiful!!
ReplyDeleteYou are both so beautiful ..... on the inside too! I love your gorgeous pear cards!
