Right we have a new "Summer and/or Beach" challenge at Daisy Chain and I went with Summer using a Chocolate Baroque stamp and glossy accents on wings-Decoart spray-lace/last scrap of B.paper from stash and the large Bee was recycled from a greetings card-the square stitched dies from The Works and all the layers on 3-D foam pads.

Hmm, glasses all round by the sounds of it Carol. I can confirm the one residing in oune of our greenhouses is a toad as it cleared my foot the other morning on it's way back the the pond.
Great honey bee card with the CB stamps.

OMG what a fun story! Cute creation ... love the design and the colors! Be sure you've used a die from a company carried at the DRU store to qualify for the prize! Thanks so much for playing in our ‘Anything Goes’ challenge at Dies R Us. Good Luck and please come back again soon!

Gorgeous colours and design. Thanks for joining the Something beginning with B challenge at the Lost Coast Portal to Creativity. Hugz
I had to laugh at your story Carol as we had a similar experience. Our Daughter's garden is quite long and I got quite excited when I saw what I thought was a frog hopping about and it turned out to be a bird! Your card is lovely. I really like the warm, summer colours that you've used and they work perfectly with the honeycomb and bees. I like the addition of the lace too. Thank you for sharing this with us at Stamping Sensations and good luck. Sandra x

What a fun card! Love the bees and your background is fantastic. Thanks for joining our "Anything Goes" challenge at Dies R Us!
Carol this is just delightful. Loving the cheerful yellow and orange colouring and the one little bee who are seeing over the hive.

Love your card - so well designed and colored. But I am still laughing about your story. My husband told me we have chipmunks coming in on our back porch because he saw the sunflower seed shells on the porch floor!!!! Now he is going to set a trap and we have a cat that goes on the back porch so I am up in arms that he cant do that. So I go out and low and behold the sunflower seeds are the fallen petals from my hanging pansy plant that I have out there!!!! Poor Sam (my cat) saved by my somewhat good eyes but almost done in by my husband's poor eyesight!!!! LOL
I read your post title and then I looked at your card and I was ... erm confussd, Once I read your wonderful story about the tiny frog everything became clear. I love your story, this is exactly how hubby and I are becoming too.
Fabulous card, I really like how you have done the corners of the lace, I have struggled with lace corners in the past, so hard to get them to 'sit' right. Wonderful backing paper and a great bee - fab bit of re-cycling Carol.

Great card, Carol. I love the beautiful bees and the honey comb. Kisses, my friend.
Your card is gorgeous. I know I have problems and my vision can be off just with my contacts at times so I can't imagine your poor husband. Sending hugs.
Lol this sounds like my husband and me, he can see for miles, but not what's under his nose, and I'm short sighted, but I also need reading glasses now too - old age eh! I love your card - I think everyone loves bees, maybe it's because they come in Summer. Thanks so much for joining in with our challenge at Lost Coast Designs, and have a lovely weekend, Sue xx
Ha Ha What are you two like? Great Story and a lovely Card. Thanks for playing along with me this month. Lisa Monochrome Magic

I love everything about this card. The colours, stamping, embellishments and die cuts. Beautifully done as always x
Oh you know you will just have to make a card of a frog on a tomato plant now ! : ) A great story. Your bee card is so perfectly summer with the warm summery colours. The bees and hive are just gorgeous. Great to recycle a bee too. Xx
Absolutely gorgeous, Carol and a great take on our theme! Thanks for joining in at stamping Sensations this month and good luck! PS. My hubby and I were getting very excited about a big bird (possibly a buzzard or red kite) that we could see as we were driving along.... it was a mark on the windscreen,lol! We have both had new glasses since
Funny story, lol. Love those bees and the bright colors. Pretty card.
Hugs, Lisa
