Bee Happy
The lovely and talented Kim Coulter used this adorable bee on front of our menu folder at a demonstrator event we had this past January. I showed the menu (plus all the other charming things Kim made for this event) to my customers and they asked to make The Bee. It was something I had in my mind all year but I just hadn’t really got around to it. When the new 2014-2015 Annual Catalog was released, I saw a stamp from the Sweet Stuff stamp set that just called out for The Bee. Here’s what I camp up with:
Here is a list of the 20 body parts to make The Bee and the products needed to make the card:

Thoughts of Spring
I am so ready for spring. This has been a long, cold winter and I am ready to shed the coats & turn off the heat. This card is a perfect way to celebrate spring. The Chevron Punch makes it a breeze to make a lattice border to hold the delicate petite petals.

Retro Valentine
I am considering this card to be the perfect Valentine. OK so it’s not the typical red & white with hearts all over. It’s however extremely bright and cheerful with a sentiment that allows one to pause for a moment to reflect on the meaningful foundation of a relationship. What better way to recognize someone special in your life with a fantastic card. So….give the Retro Valentine and hope for chocolate in return.

Hot Mess
My dear friend Cheryl Renth is affectionately known at "Hot Mess'. Her son is getting married and she designed this Save the Date announcement for the upcoming nuptials. Joshua is an IT professional so she created this card using the Stampin’ UP! Envelope Punch Board to make a file folder. The film strip effect was made using couples engagement photos and the OnFilm Framelit Dies. Tucked inside is a real floppy disk that has the announcement on the label. How stinkin’ cute is that. Cheryl is an out-of-the-box designer and I admire & love her creative talents.
I suppose you’re wondering why I have this project on my blog. Well that’s because I heeeelllllped. I was the puncher-outer of all those tiny holes in the film strip diecuts. I am now so proficient with the film strip framelit that I could teach a class on it. Perhaps I will.
Thanks Cheryl for your friendship and allowing me to feature your project on my blog.
