What a clever design you've made on your card with the bees and flowers! I look forward to seeing more of those soon! Your rocker in return is brilliant with the punny sentiment! Thanks for sharing the inspiration friend!

I have finally made it to your blog and I see that I have missed quite a few posts. They have been quite special one too. I have now had a read and caught up and am currently working my way through the CCC reveal. 34 cards, it takes a while! Love how you have used the sketch and your choice of papers, a stunning result. Gails card has succulents on it so that makes it special for me xx

Brenda said...

Both cards are beautiful! I love the beautiful papers you used.

Lisa said...

Great sketch on that wonderful bee card. That circle card is super gorgeous too.

Alice (scrAPpamondo) said...

Great design for your bees card! The rocker card you received is so lovely too!

Pia S said...

Great choice of theme and papers to fit this motnh's sketch option. I see you use bees a lot, I think that's nice, they are important creatures in our eco system.

Dotty Jo said...

How lovely! Thanks for being a link in our chain! Jo x

Dee's Craft Room said...

Oh, glorious bees ... and it looks like three of them have escaped and wondered across the central sentiment strip, te he! As you will know by now, anything with butterflies or bees and you have me, nature has some of the best designs.

However, what a coincidence. Earlier this evening I was looking at a rocker card on my own blog and asking myself why I never made a second one. They are a very pretty design, Gail's card is lovely.
