When I looked at the Fusion challenge yesterday I though uh oh.....I don't have any bees. So I checked my snippet bowl where three tiny bees were hiding......
They were too tiny for my idea so I scoured retired SU sets and found an old hostess set called Pun Intended that had one big fat bee image! Score! But the sentiments didn't work so I hunted for the set that went with the tiny bees - an ancient set from Sunny Studio. I found it in a bin and it had a cute sentiment that said just bee-cause.......but the word just was missing!
On a shelf behind my desk is a clock with a silver metal casing. If I find a random clear stamp on the floor or somewhere that it shouldn't be I just stick it to the clock! My theory is that if I pull out a set with a missing piece I just check the clock! So I crossed my fingers and checked the clock and sure enough there was the tiniest little stamp that said just! It has been there so long that I don't even remember putting it there!
And it was smooth sailing from then on - I found a random piece of Hello Honey Ribbon, an inky background from my Distress Ink class, a honeycomb embossed card front and Cinnamon Cider embellishments. I need to just look around my desk more often!
It is always fun to play at Fusion! Hope you join us!

Lovely little bee - so glad you found him. Great Fusion card.
I an chuckling at how this came to bee. Absolutely SWEET!
I have been searching for the perfect place to put all those random stamps that show up in places where they ought not to be. So now I need a clock! (Seriously, thanks for the great idea)! I'm so happy this little card came together perfectly. I couldn't find one bee in my stash!
Fab card Linda. Love thsta ink smooshed background, really looks like a sky the bees are flying over.
Love that inky background - and how you card came together, so funny! Bee-autiful! And I have my card ready to share for this week's challenge in a timely banner, unlike the last one lol which I missed!
Your hunting through your sets (and your clock) paid off! This is a wonderful card and those bees (both the big ones and the small ones) are super-cute!
What a fabulous watercolor background, Linda! Love those bright colors and the sweet bees. It seems you own a magical clock maybe you are a kind of modern Alice, aren't you ?
Such a delightful card. The colors are so pretty and I like the bee image. - Also enjoyed hearing how this all came about. I too often have missing stamps that I try to put in a specific place to match up if and when I find them missing from a set.
