Beelines - FMS610

 


In early October I was working on a card when the bee exterminator came to my house.  I left my craft room to speak with him and when I returned the sentiment stamp for my card was missing.  I am glad to report it reappeared yesterday on the back of scrap cardstock! No clue how it got there since I didn't use scraps that day but it somehow landed in the scrap bin.



I do use scraps to plan a card if I am trying to choose a stamp set. I can't do it in my head - have to see it in front of me.  When I saw Jen's sketch I thought.....hmm....snowflakes? coffee cups? pumpkins?  leaves? So I grabbed a few sets and pulled out A2 panels to do rough drafts.  The second panel I pulled came with a bonus - yep there was my missing sentiment!  I took it as a sign and put my four stamp sets away and found some bees!





So many possibilities with Jen's great sketch this week!  Hope you join us at Freshly Made Sketches!



Stamp Sets; Hey Honey (Pink Fresh), Welcoming Window (SU!), Bee My Valentine (SU!)

    So fun!! Love the little grouping of bees and flowers - and so totally creative to add their flight paths and sentiment for the strips on the sketch!

    Okay these bees are so sweet! I just love them! I'm so glad you found your missing stamp! I lost a teeny tiny die a month or so ago and it turned up the other day as well attached to another die set. Oh the stress of card making!!!
