Busy busy little bee

I should have a bee-themed card for that title, huh? LOL But I don't. I have been busy lately, however, so I've been neglecting the old blog. Forgive me! Please?

I adore this little typewriter. I also love the Jillibean Soup paper, so yeah, I'm hoarding it. Tee hee!

Here's a little close-up on the embellishment I built using a Spellbinder's die to cut a felt circle (tan), then a smaller circle from coordinating paper, then a McGill punch shape, a heart cut from cardstock and distressed, then a heart cut from the paper, then a heart die cut from fun foam, all held together with a gem brad. So much fun to make!

Thanks so much for stopping by - your visit means so much to me. Have a beautiful day!

Ta!

Getting Her Groove Back

It's been awhile since I spent time in my studio that was longer than just setting down this or that on my desk. I 'blame' my husband. LOL He said he would like to see me doing more in there, so I have been trying to be an obedient wife. Yeah, I know, I don't believe it either. So, here's a little card I made that I hope you will like.

I'm using Gina K Design's True Love Stamp TV kit again (love it!). This time, I pulled out some fantastic papers from Jillibean Soup Dutch Mustard pack. Love this pack!

One thing that really helps me is using sketches. This one is from Verve's Mojo Monday #230. They have fantastic challenges. I turned the sketch to fit my longer image, and the direction I wanted my card to go.

I added a stacked McGill punch, put a flower brad (Making Memories) in the center, and added a rhinestone (Heidi Grace). I added a little extra bling with my Sakura Stardust Clear Star pen to the punch nodes. This card just makes me happy, and I think it's really encouraging me to enjoy my time in the studio again. That is priceless.

I hope to see what you get inspired to make. Feel free to leave me a link to your work!

Ta for now,
