TWO Days OFF.....MUCHO MOJO!!!



Okeeeeeeeeeeeedokeeeeeeeeeee....FINALLY catching up on some card making....for CardsforHeroes.org...
From my blog candy WAY BACK here.....I had requested BEE images for anyone who wanted to be included in the "draw".....these are only a FEW of the MANY that were sent in.....AND...since I am such a hoarder of bits & pieces.....I had tons of stuff to work with!....using my stash!....It was a BLAST and my creative mojo was on overload, I think!





ANd , while I was at it....I repurposed a HUGE stash of SU SWAP card fronts...and turned them into MORE cards for our heros....its a GREAT way to utilize those samples!....and makes you feel good inside too!...TRY it...you'll LOVE it!!
Sooooooooooooo...all of these will be on their way to Sandy today!(better late than never!)

Two days off in a row......makes for MUCHO creativity....now, I am on what they call at LOWES the 7-day stretch.....so, my studio time will be limited....BUT...beeeeeeeeeee sure to check back....I have a few goodies ALMOST ready to list in my Etsy shop......along with a NEW catagory.....The BIZZZZZZZZZARE...no, not weird stuff.....but, what EVERYONE LOVES......A SALE!!!!...whoooowhooooo!!!

BIZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZY in The Bee Hive Studio

On my day off from my job at LOWES...this is what I was doing!!!...A special order request from my church, to make thank you notes for all the Sunday School worker-bees and teachers. Yowza!...do I ever feel accomplished!.....Same layout/sketch for each...but using my bits & pieces and hoarded stash....I was able to create 48 of these....and honestly not make a dent in my creative mess ( see this post).....what in the world???
Anyhoo....the inside sentiment/verse was printed on my computer....all other supplies are from SU.....and I was going to use my SU watermark...but, have not yet figured out how to CHANGE the 2007 to a 2008 to make it current( can anyone help me with this???)....maybe its time for a change....
I also had another card request......so, sticking with the concept of not just making ONE (after all....everything is already OUT on the table, right?)...I made one to keep & one to share.
I LOVE creating this way....my next big project will be to get all the Cards for Heroes cards completed, and sent off to Sandy for distribution....I am so psyched about creating & crafting on my days off now.......MOJO heaven!
BTW.....Special Order requests are always welcome!....Check out my ETSY shop.....and my previous blog posts to see some of my work.
Thanks for stopping by!!
