Sweet Bee Birthday

My card today features a sweet bumble bee buzzing by with a Birthday wish! This card was also created for three different challenges this week~

1. Mojo Monday sketch...can you believe their celebrating 300 challenges!!

2. The Paper Players Tic-Tac-Toe challenge.

3. Dynamic Duos color challenge...gray & ???

A closer look at the bumble bee's glittery wings!

The sketch~

 

For the circle element in the sketch, I formed some mini honeycombs in a circular pattern!

 

For my Tic Tac Toe I chose the right column; Birthday, Yellow & Ribbon

Finally, My Close To My Heart color choices were Slate Gray and Crème Brulee, lovely & sweet!

 

Be sure to check out each of these challenge blogs for inspiration and to play along!

 

H2H Photo Inspired

This week on Heart 2 Heart Challenges Blog we are given a photo to inspire our project. I was really excited to create something from the first moment I saw it~

I loved all the clean white with the pops of color from the flowers. The bird cage itself inspired the beautiful bird image that I chose.

 

Be sure to stop by Heart 2 Heart Challenges to see the fabulous art that the Design Team has created from the photo!



Pop! Shine! Celebrate!

It's almost here!! May is National Scrapbooking Month! Close To My Heart always gives you a reason to celebrate and perhaps get caught up on your scrapbooking! I sure could use a reason and some extra time to catch up on my family scrapbook! These photo's were taken during my daughter's Birthday celebration in early March. Food and shopping with her "BFF's", what better way for a teenager to celebrate! Once you see the new "dreamy" paper collection being offered next month you'll make time to create too!

I am also entering my layout in Heart 2 Heart's Button Up challenge. I decided to use the little tiny buttons to decorate my pennant banner. Look close and you'll also see a larger button in the center of some color-ready ribbon! It's the perfect embellishment to any project!

National Scrapbooking Month promotion is called Dream Pop. It's a delicious assortment of fun, unique background and texture papers as well as glossy resist cardstock papers in exclusive colors! I will post more information about this promotion and give you more "sneak peeks" as it gets closer to May! {I'm such a tease!!}
