BIRTHDAYS AT THE BEE CROP!!! AND WELCOME FALL!!!

Back in April I went to another awesome crop sponsored by Robin's Scrap Nest.  This was in the Amish country in Ohio.  It was beautiful and I made even more new friends.  It is really a fabulous friendly and creative group.

The crop ended on the day before my birthday so I spent my actual birthday driving 10 hours home...but the day before I was able to celebrate at the crop with some of the other gals who shared the same birth week as me!  

Here is a layout of the April Bee Birthdays!

In order to create it I used some inspiration from challenge #329 over at Cupcake Inspirations.

and Let's Get Sketchy September Team A Week 3 sketch - 

Here is my layout - 

and a few close ups!

AND NOW FOR MY FALL PROJECT - 

I created a tag using two of my Julie Nutting Doll stamps.  The girl is Giulia and the other is her little dog who is loving to play in the leaves!

and some close-ups!

I am entering this tag in Pile It On Challenge #87 - Color Combo.

and I was also inspired by Thrifty Thursday over at Addicted 2 Paper Dolls!

I am also entering it at Blessings Ink Amusing Challenge 22 - Anything Goes.   

I was so excited to actually get more creating done today than I have in a long long time.  I hope you have enjoyed seeing them.

COME FOR COFFEE!!

Today I have a fun tag to share!  

I had gotten these cute little wood embellishments (by Prima) that focus on coffee. 

I also had these fun stickers about coffee 

by Hampton Arts that I thought 

would be fun to use on the tag.

It's a bit hard to read in the photo 

but here is what it has to say - 

Coffee...helping people do stupid things

 faster with more energy!

This is Audrey.  She is from the 

Julie Nutting Decade Doll stamps series. 

 Audrey is from the 1950's.  
I thought she would be perfect for this theme!

I am entering this tag in:

Word Art Wednesday challenge #202 - 

Anything Goes

Whoopsie Daisy 9/7 challenge - 

Add embellishments

Cupcake Inspirations # 328 

with this color combo 

and besides - what goes perfect with cupcakes - coffee!!

I just found out from a friend that there is a new group for Coffee Loving Cardmakers!  I am going to enter my tag there too! 

I hope you have enjoyed stopping by and having a cup of coffee with Audrey and me!
