My blog is called "Creative Smiles" because my designs are the result of incorporating mistakes. With fumble fingers that drop whatever they are holding - repeatedly, it takes a lot of giggles, smiles and creative patience during my crafting process. xx

Moving Along With The Times Challenge - Anything With Bees

Greetings, friends!
Apologies that there are three posts this morning.


It's time to share a Project for the new Moving Along With The Times Challenge!

Challenge #103's theme is ANYTHING TO DO WITH BEES - for the next 2 weeks upload your creations featuring bees! 



My project features a precolored freebie from The Graphics Fairy called Vintage Bees - Blossoms. The papers are from Linda Simpson Designs from two collections. One is blue-ivory colors and the other is green-tan-brown colors. The quality is beautiful.

Even though the papers and topper are digital, they have been used traditionally, with layers, ribbon (trim), inks, and punching.



Products Used:

Challenges I'd like to play in please:

  1. Crafty Gals Corner Challenges #197 3+Layers (5 layers, plus the punched layer and fabric trim) 8/13
  2. Crafting by Designs AG 9/1 



Hugs to my friends,

Marvelous image, Donna, and I love how you did the ruffle below that wonderful trim. How creative that you've put the black trim around only 2 sides of the image. Very striking.

A very gentle and lovely card, Donna. What a sweet sentiment for the two busy bees. I love the gauzy ruffle which somehow adds to the feeling I have of looking out a window. A warm, still day... bees buzzing... It looks like another gorgeous day here. Perfect weather!
