Mark and I are babysitting a couple of cute little boys tonight, so we will be ringing in the new year in our pajamas (with a couple of diet cokes). Party animals, I tell ya'! But 2012 was an exceptional year, and 2013 is already looking to be another good one.
While Mark worked on his motorcycle last night, I finished up a few cards that have been sitting on my desk for 2 or 3 days. I will post them separately because I am a little short on time and I might not get to them all tonight. Having 4 kids is hard work!
First up is a "bee-utiful" (sorry... I couldn't help myself!) card for Retro Sketches Challenge #44, and this week's Paper Smooches Sparks challenge - Anything Goes.
I used Paper Smooches Bee Mine stamp set and Papertrey Ink's Hexagon Cover plate die (used as an embossing plate) for my card. I stamped a few of the embossed hexagons with the dotted hexagon stamp from PTI's Happy Hexagons stamp set:
(Supplies - Stamps: (Paper Smooches) Bee Mine, (Papertrey Ink) Happy Hexagons. Ink: (Ranger) Archival Ink - Black. Cardstock: (Avery Elle) Kraft, yellow. (PTI) White, Smokey Shadow. Other: Copics, twine, button, washi tape.)
I just love the big bee.
And I call Mark "honey" most of the time, so the sentiment is a favorite of mine now, too.
Finding a stamp set that is cute and has a personal connection is so cool. :-)
I'll be back soon!
How cute is this! I love the bee, and the honeycomb background is perfect. What a fun card. I don't have any of these stamps - I think I 'need' some! Hugs...
