Just Us Girls #740 ~ Happy Birthday to You

 

It's my turn to host over at Just Us Girls. As you can see it's Mood Board week. I thought these bees and all of their busy work was a good choice for some August inspiration. Here's what I did with it...

It all started with this PTI tag. It was a good landing spot for the bees and honeycomb from The Greetery. Those bees needed something to pollinate, so I gave them a trio of blooms by Poppystamps. Their fairy jewel centers have that amber honey look, don't you think? Once I finished the tag, it needed somewhere to go! I pulled some floral paper from my stash and ran it through my machine with a honeycomb embossing folder. A cute sentiment tab (MB) and a little twine finished things up.

Our gallery is sure to be BEEutiful this week! 

I hope to spot your card there!

I haven't used that tag die in ages, Lisa, but it's perfect cut with the honeycomb and placed on that wonderful patterned paper. A few busy bees and flowers for them to pollinate and your card is a wonderful take on the mood board.
