It’s BEE week at JUGS

It’s Word Week at Just Us Girls Challenge and the word is BEE.

We’ve just returned from a vacation in Michigan, first a week with Sarah and her family at Big Twin Lake, and then a weekend on our own which we split between Traverse City and Petoskey. I picked up a couple of new dish towels in a little shop in Traverse City. They were rolled and tied with a piece of black and yellow twine and a Bee Kind tag was tied to each towel.

For the last several weeks I’ve been working on creating an inventory of all my stamps and dies and doing a major purge as well. It’s taken up most of my creative time, but in the end, will be well worth it. Yesterday as I was going through a box of stamps I found a Simon Says kit from 2019. As luck would have it, it was a bee themed kit called “Bee Yourself.” The combination of events was too good to pass up, so this morning I got busy creating a card for the JUGS challenge.

Along with the stamp set, there was a variety of patterned paper, several of which I tried before ending up with my usual CAS style, stamping one of the bee hive stamps on yellow paper and adding the tag with some dimensional tape. 

I added a thin black mat and attached them to a card base made from Papertrey Ink’s Rustic Cream cardstock. 

We’re off this afternoon to spend time with friends on their boat on Canandaigua Lake and it’s just perfect weather for it.
