You're As Sweet As Can BEE ! and Spring has Sprung

        I had a Happy Birthday with the help of my family and friends.... now I'm wanting to send thank you cards and what better way than to also celebrate Spring's arrival.  See how happy the bee is!!  She's already spreading her pollen.....ah choo!
        Looking at surveys, yellow is the least used color when making cards and the least favorite of colors chosen by people and card makers.  I love buttercup yellow and how can you not love yellow, even for just a little while, when you see those daffodils jump up, letting us know that Spring is almost here!
        This is from Lindy's Stamp Gang called "Queen Bea Bee's Gang".  I printed out a honeycomb design paper, stamped tiny hives (old stamp from AC Moore's), cut with nestabilities, used a McGill tag punch,  MS stem punch, copic markers, rhinestones and glitter pens.  I needed 6 thank you cards, but I need to do some more just to keep "on hand".

Size: A2



I really wanted to get an svg posted right now, but between playing with my new IPAD 2, reading all the stuff on lawsuit against MTC and now SCAL, and the "time change"....well, I'm dragging.

    Adorable! I tried posting a comment this am, but it must have been just as you were editing, or something....or maybe blogger just freaked out on me, who knows. Anyhow - so, so cute. Love the yellow! Yellow is fun, bright and cheery!
