Mojo Monday 133 and another Sympathy Card Scrapbooking in Melbourne, Florida

I can't stop using this Queen Bee paper!  Thanks, Amy.  tee hee.

Well, my sweet mom is going to need a sympathy card really soon, so I decided to make one at a time.  I hate to tempt fate and make three like I did the last time. 

Today I used the Mojo Monday sketch.  I wish you could see this card IRO (in real life) - my photo skills just don't do it justice.  The black cardstock is CTMH, and all the rest is the Queen Bee line from Pink Paislee.  The Verve sentiment is stamped on a 'flip note', which is one of several little die cut papers tucked into a little pad.  Of course, they all coordinate perfectly with the Queen bee line; some even have little flourishes, crowns (heart!) and sentiments on them.

Remember that trip to JoAnn's last week?  The key that I purchased and used on the Veranda card?  Well, that's when I bought the fleur de lis embellishment that I used on this card.   LOOOOOOVE it!!!!  There are about nine of them (gold, silver, copper colored) in the package....I'd better get more...ha!

What are you up to this weekend?  Creating just a little bit, I hope.  Me....watching my Dodger boys beat the Marlins, I hope!

Peace out,

Nothing is so beautiful as Spring! Scrapbooking in Melbourne, Florida

I hope you like this Queen Bee paper...if not, you might want to stay off my blog for a while - ha!

This time I used a few other supplies as well.  The sketch is from a Splitcoast Stampers' challenge last Wednesday - SC274.  The little label that holds the sentiment - "nothing is so beautiful as spring" - is just one of a couple of dozen that coordinate with the paper line.  I bought some other goodies that 'go' with it, so I'm in Queen Bee heaven!

I really like the yellow, black, grey and white.  ou can see that I used three of the patterns here on the card, all matted with CTMH black cardstock and mounted on a white daisy card base.

And look at how sweet the CTMH felt flower and filigree charm are!  Of course, the yellow coordinates better in real life.  Thankfully, we will be getting some photo tips at our Spellbinders retreat, so I hope to be stepping up my photo skills.

I hope you had a wonderful Easter.  Were you hangin' with your PEEPS?  ha ha ha.............  I know, I know.....but I just couldn't resist!  tee hee

I'll be back tomorrow with a special announcement....plus a card using CTMH's gorgeous Veranda papers!

Till then,

Deb

Queen Bee! Love it!!!!! Scrabooking in Melbourne, Florida

TGIF - wooHOOO!!!  My boss let me come home early today.  Happy dance!  I stopped at JoAnn's and bought stuff I 'needed' - seriously, I did!  tee hee.  Then went to another place I cannot reveal to buy something I cannot reveal for the Spellbinders(TM) DT retreat.  Will reveal at a later date (mwahh ha haaaa!!!).  Then I came home and played with my new Queen Bee goodies that I told you about last night!

Here's the first card I made today with my Queen Bee collection.  The sketch is from Jen's SFYTT.  I used a felt 'crown' from CTMH, and a little 'throne' that I picked up in the jewelry dept. at JoAnn's today.  See, I told you I needed to go to JoAnn's!  I wanted to do some sewing on my card - and you can see what a horrible job I did.  I have this little Pixie craft machine (or something like that) by Singer that I picked up for less than $30 at Wally World last year.  Since it came threaded with yellow thread, I was able to sew on this card.  You would think I had never sewn, right? Not!  I even made a little denim jacket for Alan when he was a tiny critter.  Home ec classes and all.  By the way, did we really learn any economics in home ec, or just sewing and cooking?  I hope it's different nowadays than it was back in the stone ages.  tee hee.

Will be back tomorrow with my Mojo Monday sketch card using some of that freebie loot I showed you yesterday.  Yes, I'm trying to entertain you with daily cards in the hopes that you'll visit often and boost my counter up to 25K before my first blogaversary.  Enjoy!

Peace out,

Deb
