Make Me Smile
March 19th, 2009
Some quick little notecards to send to a few people in town who bless my life. This little bee is from the set, Little Critters, by Whipper Snapper Designs. I colored him with Copics, put crackle accents and a little dazzling diamond glitter on his wings. I love to do that with bees.
These are one panel for a short note.The patterned paper is Urban Prairie from Basic Grey.
I’m finishing up some deadline work and ‘nailing jello’ today - that’s what I call housework. As soon as you get one thing done, someone is coming along right behind you to undo it… It’s like nailing jello to a tree! See you tomorrow for the Friday Sketch Challenge.
Have a great day!

Wow, that image is perfect with Urban Prairie paper! I love the clean look of it.
I understand “nailing jello,” too…With 4 kids, I just call housework “damage maintenance.”

This is just the most darling set of notecards, my dear! You inspired me to use my TN die in the vertical position for a card I posted today, so I came to get the link and found today’s post inspiring as well! I think I’m going to make a set to go with the card. Boy, are you full of inspiration!
How’s that jello? It’s much easier if you do a couple of jello shots before proceeding with the cleaning, {giggle}!
Hugs,
Amy

what an adorable card! I like to use shimmerz on my bees’ wings, so essentially the same effect. (mainly ’cause I don’t have as much patience with the glitter! grins!) your BG paper is perfect with the stamp! I know your cards will be such a huge hit!
take care!
we don’t have any nice, repeatable words for housework around here, so I’d best just mosey on along……
