Busy As A Bee

Happy Friday! Wow- only 2 days of work this week and I'm already burnt out! Glad its Friday and I have the weekend to do more crafting- yay! Still need to prep my cards for Hospice- did half of one card but gotta finish cutting the kits; finally designed the 2nd card, but haven't even started on the kits for that one! Good thing the meeting isn't until 1:00 on Sunday- I'll have Saturday night and Sunday morning to finish. K.I... don't worry- I'll get it done on time! Wanted to do another tri-shutter card since I didn't get the first one quite right. Here's the end result... I just love this bee!! It's from one of the Hello Kitty deco strips from Sizzix. I've been meaning to use it, but just haven't had any inspiration until now. I thought he'd match perfectly with this new DP I found at Island Scrapbooking. I replicated the flowers on the paper by cutting out similar shaped flowers using my Spellbinder dies. Since I don't have any of those clever "bee" type phrase stamps, I printed my own on the computer. Thank you for "bee"ing a great friend! Special thanks to Michele, Tracy and Kelli at Island Scrapbooking, who helped me put this card togehter. For some reason I had a hard time with this one. Kelli- see? I decided you were right and I did end up adding the additional layer. Sigh, so much for saving on paper! I decided that being that she is a bee, she should fly right? So I added some fishing line to her and had her dangle from one of the folds. When you open it up, she moves around randomly like a busy bee. Tried to take a photo up close here so you could see that she's dangling and not attached directly to the card. Supplies used: Bee- Sizzix Sentiment- Printed from my computer Leaf die- Sizzix Flower dies- Spellbinders circles- Marvy Uchida punches cardstock- Bazzil DP- TPC Studio (paper is double sided and I used both sides) Glitter paper- Doodlebug Designs fishing line Well, hope everyone has a fun weekend. My mini vacation is over and my baby is going to Kindergarten today! (tear)
