Bee Happy!

Yesterday was Earth Day and this guy celebrated with a little beekeeping!

He picked up a new hive Friday and got TWO calls about swarms over the weekend. The first swarm was already gone when he got there, but he was able to catch the second one.

I bet the poor lady who called was happy too and the bees seem content in their new digs!

Our backyard is kind of a wild kingdom right now...a huge vegetable garden, a dog, some bees, birds, squirrels and an owl. He showed up one afternoon and perched up in the pin oak.



Earth without art is just "Eh", so I had to make a card too!

I printed the image on watercolor paper and got busy watercoloring the images with Faber Castell gelatos, TomBow Dual Brush pens, shading with Faber Castell Big Brush Markers and some Diamond Stickles for sparkle.

I trimmed some of the flowers with a craft knife and popped them up with some foam tape for a little added dimension. I opted to skip a sentiment, the colored images were too cute to cover up!

To Infinity and Beyond!

You never forget your first love.



This was my fourth birthday. I loved that bike. I even remember the day I rode it without training wheels. My dad was running down the street holding the back of my bike and suddenly I was riding it all by myself! My dad re-gifted this bike to me on my 8th birthday. He refurbished it adding a sparkly banana seat, an orange flag on the back, reflectors that made a popping noise when I rode and a water bottle holder! Flash forward 40 years and I still like my bicycle gadgets. I have flashing lights for riding at night, a rear view mirror, a pouch for my repair kit and Iphone, AND a water bottle holder! 

Today's post is part of the Club Scrap Pattern Play blog hop. I love the designs in this kit! I rarely make things for myself and it has been a loooooong time since I have made a scrapbook page with paper instead of digital. I don't remember taking this photo, but I sure do remember my first love and it deserves it's own page!



I colored the wooden word art navy blue to match my dress and tied it together with the little blue buttons that came with this month's Club Scrap Deluxe Pattern Play kit.



I pulled out my trusty Club Scrap® Idea Deck for the sketch. These things are awesome...the cutting instructions are on the back so you don't waste a scrap of paper!



I had plenty of paper left, so I decided to make something else. Club Scrap® has so many fabulous projects, I just had to peruse my collection of Scrap Raps and found this tutorial!

I used the cutaparts and stamp images from the kit and that AWESOME black print card stock!
