Bee Happy with Hansel

Happy Tuesday! I love Tuesdays -

it means we're done with Monday and heading into the middle of the week already ;)

Here's a bumble-y cute card I'd like to share today...
if you haven't guessed yet, I have a 'thing' for things that bumble around ;)

I'd like to enter my card for the following challenges too:

- All That Scraps Wednesday Challenge - Monochromatic {Yellow}

- Crazy 4 Challenges #46 - Buttons

- Flutter By Wednesday #114 - 3 or more layers
- Papertake Weekly "In The Garden Challenge" {Bumblebees!}

- Stamp Something Challenges - Go Digital! {Image}

I used Swiss Pixie - Bumblebee Hansel Digital Image from All That Scraps! Did you know that they had digital images?! Whoot! They do :)  - Hansel has to be one of the most sweetest boy images that I now own! and he's a Bumblebee!!! I totally adore him!!! It is so hard to find bumble-y things/images...

I had to use my Willowbee 6x6 pad and stamp set by Nikki Sivils, added in some matching layers and used my Slice to create these shapes to match the DP! Popped up some parts, tied on some ribbon and I was done! I really love how it all came together!  

I hope you likey as well :)

Stay tuned for Pixie Dust Studio's "The Nutcracker" release later today!

Smooches :*)

Happy Bee-Day!

Happy Monday!!!

I have a quick post for a Bumble-y lil card I created this morning...

As soon as I saw this sweet lil honey bear in the Die Cuts R Us Shop, I just knew that I had to have him to use some of my bumble-y stash :)

I am entering my card to the following challenges:
- Craftalicious Challenge #3 - Cute.
- Crafty Angels Week #40 - Circles and Squares

- Paper Sundaes Challenge #26 - Lots of Layers

- Stamp Something Recipe Challenge: 1 DP, 1 Ribbon, 1 Image

This sweet lil stamp is my first Stampavie/Penny Johnson, called "I Love Hunny"...

I finally used some of my "Willowbee" DP from Nikki Sivils and the sentiment is from an EAD Designs sticker sheet that came with my Beez Kneeez Kit (Caffinated Cropper)... I then finished my card off with some layering and buttons :) 

I hope you likey!

Thanks for stopping by and enjoy your Monday :)

Happy Day after Christmas ;)
Hope y'all survived the day of festivities! I know some of you are probably still going at it throughout the weekend! but everyone here is completly exhausted and we're taking the today (Saturday) to do nothing, lol - which technically means to do everything, since we have a million toys to rip out of boxes, put together and pry open battery comparments ;)  Wish us luck!
