Who has a Bucket List?

A friend of mine has one and she is ticking off her list one by one, and adding some more to the bottom as she goes......

I sorta do - but it is not written down, it's in my head and it changes fairly often

As an Easter gift to another friend, I created a 
Bucket List booklet

where you can write down your list and any information you need to gather to fulfill it!


I started with on old Memo booklet of mine that had only five pages used in it - I tore them out


I liked the black binding so left that and simply added some pretty papers front and back - they are from SU, and are all in the same set.


I did the inside front page and a strip down the first page to disguise the fact that five pages were torn out. 


I added a pretty metal from, and a key and a bow.


My sentiment is created with sticker letters - the set only had one h - can you imagine that? 
Why?

I had to utilize a b to create my second h


It looks quite pretty and is small enough to lay ona bedside table or similar, or go inside a big bag.


Simple and quick and suits the theme and the twist
Meets all requirements, as it also provided me with a gift for a friend. 

There are only 5 days to go to enter this challenge #55  at 

Now you have got Easter over with and your tummy is full of sweetness, start creating!

Midway Through Unstampabelle's March Challenge

Well, we are halfway through March, and this current challenge#55 at

Twist: use a key


In this card (it does not have to be a card, just this one is!) I have used an image that came free with some papers in a recent magazine. I thought she was certainly unlocking her potential and flying.....


In fact - she was awesome!


I added my key (to help her unlock her potential) as an accessory - thought it went well with the glasses, bow tie and the pearls! 


Isn't she gorgeous!


The lollipop has kindy glitz on it and the glasses and bow tie are coated with Wink of Stella
The background paper was part of the magazine giveaway as well


Why not have a go at the challenge - you an make almost anything you know, as long as you don't use stamps or digi stamps.

Unstampabelles Challenge#55: Unlock Your Potential


Hello everyone
Well, you are all finding this one a trifle difficult is the number of entries are to go by!

I would have thought any celebration would fit this as if you are celebrating something, you are about to unlock some more of your potential to grow in some way.......



You could choose this to be doing something you have not attempted before and therefore are unlocking the potential to add this to your repertoire......

Aren't these keys so cute!

I cut a corner out of my Co'Ordinations Whitewash card after I had embossed the sentiment onto the bottom right side, and sanded it to bring up the back colour. I also sanded around the edges a bit and the lacy diecut.


I add some sliver twine, a sparkly heart, and a sparkly star


My banners are two ribbon and one card - embossed with hearts


I think it makes quite a bold statement, and the inside will say something about the keys to success


I think I should have used a black mount as well and may do that yet.

Challenge #55 at Unstampabelles



Yes, it is March and the first Monday again so Unstampabelles has a new Challenge

Unlock Your Potential

is the theme and the twist is to add a key!

I thought of the word
  transmogrification
When I was a younger woman, and a part of the feminist movement of the time (I have no problem calling myself a feminist) I had a badge with the statement on it

"Women are Transmogrifying"

Once I had looked that word up, I was quite happy to wear it, and it had behind the phrase a butterfly, because of all the creatures of the animal kingdom that one exemplifies best the meaning of the word - from a caterpillar to a chrysalis to a butterfly!


So, when talking of unlocking potential, what better to use than a butterfly


Note the key and the phrase  - a rub-on - under the insect


The flowers are made using card coloured up with Dylusional paints and stencils, and then die cut with the SU set Botanicals. These are set onto a vellum sheet (SU Botanical Gardens) coloured lightly with TH inks, This vellum sheet is laid over a sheet of paper on which the definition of transmogrify has been printed several times. The whole is on a white square card. I added some bling as well to the flowers and the butterfly. 



Please go to  Unstampabelles and see what else is there and then have a go at the challenge.
