"Bee Happy" and its Almost Friday.......

Happy happy Thursday!  I am finally feeling better - got knocked down by something and it wasn't fun spending so much time in bed.  I was wanting to create but all I could do was "nothing".  I must confess though I do feel a little more rested.  

Even though I wasn't able (due to illness) to participate in this weeks Tuesday Alchemy challenge I still wanted to use one of the images from Birdie Brown one of our sponsors this week.  I just love her images and couldn't wait to play with this adorable bee.  Here is the link to her Etsy shop:  Birdie Brown 

I hope you will check out her shop and take a look at all her cute and whimsical digital images.


I made this card yesterday.  I promised myself I would use one of my Nestabilities and it was so much fun.  I haven't used any of them in such a long time.  

Its hard to tell from this background but I used black cardstock for the base of the card and added the yellow and green.  As you can see I tore some brown cardstock to create the look of dirt, added the cute bee and a couple of flowers.  Of course - I always need to add some type of bling and I chose the wings so they would sparkle and shine.  

There is still time for you to participate in this weeks challenge.  The theme for this week is "Bee Guitar Home".  You can use one, two or all three of those to make your creations for this week.  There are some great prizes and who knows - you could be the next winner.  Here is the link:

    Great bright and cheery card! I absolutely love the effect of the ripped paper used for the soil. It gives it a 3D look!
