PlayDate with a Friend

A couple of weeks ago I had the pleasure of spending the day with Bonnie Klass in her fabulous craftroom. She gave me a Glimmer foil lesson, we traded stamps, shared ideas and techniques, had lunch and talked and laughed non-stop.  I brought her a stamp and die set as a thank you and of course bought the same set for myself.  We decided to each make a card using the set from Waffle Flower and post it on the same day.  Here's mine.


The flowers and leaves were stamped on Bristol and colored with Zigs.  The Altenew frame was cut from soft gray, glued to the card base and then all the images added.  I think it has a vintage feel to it.

Now I'm anxious to see what Bonnie did.  Won't you join me over at Stampiing with Klass to see her card?



Neither one of use is a good selfie taker.  This is the best we could do after half a dozen tries.

I love what you did with these flowers and leaves, Bobby! I love that die cut background that works perfectly to frame these yellow beauties! It was so much fun spending the day with you. I wish we could do it more often!

Hi, Bobby! I came from Bonnie's blog to admire your handiwork with this great stamp set. Your card is lovely with the framing and wonderful yellow -- my favorite color. There are few things I look forward to more than a day with a friend, especially when there's crafty activity involved. You both look so cute and happy in the photo!

Oh My! This is gorgeous, Bobby! The flowers are beautiful, and that frame is just amazing, it sets off the flowers perfectly.
P.S. I think selfies with a friend are always amazing -- How fortunate to have one close enough to play with!
