Tattered Lace Concertina Bee Card

Good Morning Ladies,
I know I missed blogging yesterday. I am just trying to figure out my new normal.
The card for today is Tattered Lace Concertina Bee Card
My friend Judy came over and helped me figure this die out. The card base and lace dies are from thee two concertina sets from tattered lace. It is a beautiful couple of die sets but a little labor intensive. The bees are a sizzix die.
This is the card opened all the way up. The sentiments are from the Stamps of Life.
Happy Scraps,

Rainbow Thank You

Good Morning Ladies,
Today is my day off. I am hoping to get laundry done and a bunch of card making.
The card for today is Rainbow Thank You
 This card was created using this months stamp and die set from the Stamps of life. I stamped the rainbow over the edge of a folded card and then die cut it that way. The rainbow was colorized using watercolor pencils and stickles.
This is the inside of the card.

Unity Chill Out

Good Morning Ladies,
I am up a little earlier than usual. I must have had plenty of sleep last night. That's good because I need to get some laundry going this morning.
The card for today is Unity Chill Out
This is a fun stamp set from Unity. And a flip it card seemed to be the perfect fit. The ice cubes were shaded with watercolor pencils and stickles.

Graphics 45 You Are My Anchor

Good Morning Ladies,
Last night was pizza night. And I had the new bacon cheeseburger pizza from Pa Pa Johns. It was really good. But if you don't like pickles you would not like it at all.
The card for today is Graphics 45 You Are My Anchor
 This card was created using the Cheery Lynn center step card die and the By the Sea Graphics 45 pad. The girl is cut from this collage page in the front of the pad. The pad was an 8x8 size which suits cards so much better than the 12x12 size.
This is the inside of the card. I love the calling cards you get in the graphics 45 pads.
