A day with Bobby!

It was great fun to have both Bobby and Marcia here together but don't think the fun stopped there!  

Bobby and I had the better part of the next day together and shared lots of our supplies.  I got right to work putting all those die cuts together and today I'll share what became of our playtime together and Bobby will, too!

Believe me when I tell you that Bobby's supply of HoneyBee die sets is out of this world!  Let's start with her Autumn Bouquet tucked onto the HB Rattan Basket:


I found a really dark wood design paper from Craft Consortium [cut with an EH rectangle die] that really let that bouquet shine!  Then I tucked in a teensy sentiment from
The Greetery's Market Basket sentiments.


Of course, I couldn't stop at just one...


this time, they were tucked into her HB Wooden Crate and topped
with one of two birds from HB Winter Birds: the Chickadee!
My card front wears a panel I've embossed with SU! Exposed Brick 3D EF


As Bobby often does, I've left this one without a sentiment - I
think it would be a wonderful masculine bd card, don't you?

While I had those Winter birds in hand, I cut the Cardinal, too!
I couldn't craft for a day without making a Christmas card - or two!


Anybody recognize that string of lights??  If you guessed this guy 
from Spellbinder's Festive Friends you're a winner!

Bobby and I actually FINISHED one of our cards together!  Here's mine:


We cut his sweater out of those new Scrapbook.com papers - I just
love the little snowman that landed right where it should be... can
you find it?  

I loved seeing you again 'for reals' Bobby!  It has been a very long time.  Thanks for coming, for your wonderful gift, and for sharing in our 'Blondie' adventure! 

Thanks, my friends, for stopping by - I can't wait to see all the cards Bobby has to share - join me, if you haven't already been there, please!

They are all fabulous, Michele--each and every one! The bird on the crate is my fave, but it was really hard to decide which one I loved the most.

Such a wonderful collection of cards! What a productive couple of days you had. So much fun crafting with friends.

The cards with the basket and crate are FABULOUS Michele and I just LOVE the Autumn Bouquet florals you've tucked into them! Your cardinal card is beautiful (I'm posting mine tomorrow) and the bear card is just dang CUTE! You girls really made good use of your extra morning together and I'm in love with both of your cards!! Hugs. :0)

I love the way you used the Autumn Bouquet in both the rattan basket and the crate, Michele. Isn't that The Greetery tiny sentiment great for arrangements like those? Genius to use the lights for the cardinal to perch on, my friend. Our Festive Friends really came out cute and that die is on my wish list now.

Not only does it look like you and Bobby had a blast, but you were very busy. Beautiful bouquets on black and on white and the containers for the flowers are awesome! Love the birds, especially the cardinal. He looks quite regal! You enabled me to get this bear die and he needs to come out to play! I hadn't thought to use patterned paper and one that has a logo on it. Now I'm inspired!

Talk about productive! Wow. Nice eye candy 😍

What a fabulous and colourful collection of cards. Yes, you are doing amazingly well with colour these days. I love it. Thanks for your visit to me earlier. I am so glad that you had such a happy time with Bobby x x

Two fun days of crafting... you can't beat that! Love the results and the goodies you played with. You've filled that fabulous basket perfectly and the chickadee is beautiful. The texture from the embossing adds so much to that card. I like the pop of red from your pretty cardinal too. And finally, that sweet bear always brings a big smile. He's such a cutie and I love his sweater!

Loll said...

You and Bobby sure did have fun ... and make LOTS of cards. Awesome! Each one is so fantastic using all those amazing dies. Great work Michele. xx

Love your Autumn Bouquets and how you displayed them in the basket and then in the crate with the Chickadee. Love your cardinal card too, but my favorite has to be your last one with that cute polar bear with this fun sweater. TFS

TK said...

SO many pretties! Love them all, and the birds were quite appropriate it seems. As for the little snowman, left front pocket? Yep, I see him hiding right there over Mr Bear's heart! What fun!

Jeanne said...

How wonderful that you got some extra play time. And you played so well. These are gorgeous. Love the polar bear card. Yep, I found the snowman. So cute! Thanks so much for sharing.

Cat Craig said...

Fun and festive cards Michele. Looks like you had a wonderful bonus day of crafting.

What a line up! So much to love front to back on every card! Just when I think I can't possibly love one more than the next, you end up with that adorable polar bear in his stylin' sweater. I spotted the snowman right off. So cute!
