Craftin' Desert Divas - Bugs & Kisses

Happy Thursday!!!

I hope you all are having a fabulous week so far!

I am so excited for my Daily Post over at Craftin' Desert Divas today!
I LOVE the sentiment "bugs & kisses"
from the newly released Lil Bit Buggie set.

This set is AWESOME!

There are some fabulous, one of a kind sentiments

that Tara has come up with and I LOVE them all!

You can purchase this set HERE.

So here is my card... 

I had so much fun making this card

centered around the sentiment!

My little grasshopper is cut from the Live Simply cartridge.

Although I added some kissy lips :)

The scallop heart border is from Spellbinders Edgeabilities.

I actually combined two different sets of border dies

one from Classic Scallop and the other from Classic Postage Stamp.

I LOVE how versatile these border dies are!

And if you didn't catch it, the lips are from one of the hearts

in the border after I cut it out of some red cardstock.

I used my Cricut Cuttlebug with the Spellbinders.

My pattern paper is from the Heidi Grace Sunshowers

6x6 paper pad - LOVE this paper!!!

I used some rhinestones from Michael's

to add a little bit of bling to the card.

I used some yellow Trendy Twine, too

(sorry I don't know the official name of this color).

My little scallop circle for the sentiment is from Mini Monograms.

Don't you just LOVE the smaller case letters on this stamp?

I do!

Have a wonderful rest of the week!!!

I am also going to link this up over at Pause Dream Enjoy

for the Kids Challenge.

Thanks for checkin' in!!!

BBTB2 - BEE-utiful Summer

Happy Monday!!!

Hope you all had a wonderful weekend!

Today over at BBTB2 we are starting

a new challenge all about BEES!!!

There are so many cute bee images on

so many fun cartridges,

it was tough to decide which one to use!

I haven't used the bee on the

"Just Because" Cards cartridge,

so that's what I chose!

My paper comes from Prima Marketing "Doodle Deux"

that I picked up from Hobby Lobby.

I used vellum for the wings of the bee and popped

the image up on foam tape.

I cut the scallop circle from Mini Monograms

and the circle from George.

The enamel dots are from Recollection's (Michael's)

and the sentiment comes from Craftin' Desert Divas

newest stamp set Lil Bit Buggie.

I even have a video to show how it all came together!

I am also entering this into Little Scrap Pieces.

I LOVE this stamp from Tara's new stamp set

Lil Bit Buggie!

And naturally I pulled out the Walk In My Garden

cartridge for this sentiment.

I cut the flower at 2" with a shadow

and the bee at 2 1/2" with a shadow.

I used some yellow glitter paper for the wings and

added a Glitter Dot from Recollections to the flower.

I popped both of them up on some foam tape.

The hexagon comes from Accent Essentials.

except for the b/g paper.

It came from Ki's "Growing Garden"

used Memento Tuxedo Black Ink for the stamp.
