Happy World BEE Day & What's Happening This Week.

Hello & Happy Monday. 

Today is World BEE Day and so I thought I would honour the day with a card, because it would be rude not to. And it gives me a good excuse to dust off Bee Happy and give a sneaky sneak peek at something new coming next month. 

For the background I have used a new stencil coming next month, I've used Dragonfruit, Honeysuckle, Buttercup, Marmalade & Oceanside from Concord & 9th and Lime Ricky from Catherine Pooler.

I then embellished the background with the bees and sentiment from Bee Happy, a bit of dimension for the bees and kept the card with minimal fuss as to not take too much focus from the fun background.

What's Happening This Week... 

First off I have a Stamp of The Week for you to enjoy.

Looking around social media, I've notice a come back on the Zesty/Fruity trend. So I thought I would give our Organically Zesty the 'lime light' this week! 

Enjoy 10% of this clear stamp set in store HERE. And here is a couple of cards reminding you of how this stamp set looks in use. 

I will be back later this week with some fresh and juicy inspiration using this stamp set and fingers crossed a new video.

AWESOME creation! Love your bee! This is the BEE'S KNEES HOP! My husband & I host 60 to 80 bee hives on our 5 acre place for the summer (to get them out of the heat) for a bee keeper from California after they are through pollinating the orange and nut orchards.
