Just Buzzin By to Say Hi!!!

I've been trying to get this posted all day!  I made the first card this morning right after breakfast.  Ashley called just as I was finishing it so we chatted for a while.  She's back at Maraz now!  Next the exterminator came for our quarterly inspection.  When he left, I started on the second card while Sonny drove to town to get gas for the boat.   I had it finished and was trying to do my post before I left but Blogger wouldn't let me download the pictures.  By that time, Sonny was home and ready to go boating.  We were meeting friends for lunch at the Landing which takes us about 45 minutes to get there (by boat).  We can drive there in 10 minutes!!  When we got home around 3:30, I got the cards to upload and was about to write the recipes for them when Marianne arrived.  We have decided to meet every afternoon when she gets off work and work out in our community swimming pool.  We decided this a couple of weeks ago, but yesterday was the first day she was able to get here.  So, down to the pool we went.  It is a good way to exercise and to visit with each other.  And with the temperatures as high as they have been, it is an excellent way to cool off!  OK - now back to my original post that I have been trying to write all day!

I'm Just Buzzin' By to tell you to have a honey of a day!  Isn't that a great saying?  If you want it in a stamp set, better call me quick!  It's the set, Just Buzzin' By and it will be buzzin' away at the end of the month.  It is one of the retirement sets.  I haven't used it in a while but it is so cute.  So I pulled it out this morning and created a couple of cheery cards with it.   

Don't forgot to leave your comments if you want a chance to win this card along with a bunch of others.

Not only is this stamp set retiring, but the ribbon is also.  I used the Triple Layer Punch on the 1st setting for the scallops at the bottom.

Stamp:  Just Buzzin' By
Paper:  Only Orange, Black, non SU pattern paper
Accessories:  White Gel Pen, Triple Layer Blossom Punch, Scallop Circle Punch, 1 1/4" Circle Punch, 1 3/8" Circle Punch, Pumpkin Pie Striped Grosgrain Ribbon, Markers

I'm loving this card!  I think it's the colors that I really like.  I found the paper (DSP) in a stash and then matched the other paper up to it.  Also, I love square cards although I don't usually make them since they require extra postage.

Diane C. says, "Great cards especially the blue and yellow
buzzing by. It's a softer color
combo and I like that. You are
slowly changing me over to the
brighter colors. Keep working on
those colors. Great crafter, you
are. Enjoy all your cards. Your
mind must work over-time 90% of the
day. Your ideas are so cute.

I don't have this set and it has never appealed to me, but seeing the orange and black combo and the cute little bee on your card has really caught my eye. The colors look great together. Thanks for sharing your ideas.
