Busy Bees in the Sunshine

Busy Buzzing Bees..
Life of a Mommy!
One of my friends, Joy, said this card was a favorite as it reminded her of her life as a busy mom.

I LOVE that art (like a simple card) can capture the meaning of one's life and views...  Here is a sweet Buzzing Bee card... what do you think!?!?
Honeycombs are all the rage... I have to admit that I'm a big fan.  This card is simple, clean, modern and natural... vintage and elegant....
With our Honeycomb Textured Embossing Folder (Spring Mini) and Big Shot this texture comes to life. 

Our sweet Collage Curios (Spring Mini) is a wonderful collection with multi dimensional ability and they fit PERFECTLY in our 1" Circle Punch (Idea Book & Catalog).  The Bumble Bee from the Curios Collection is a perfect fit with Textured Embossing Folder!
 Daffodil Delight is the card stock base and inked sweet bees on this card.  Our Color Coach is a MUST HAVE for crafters, artists and anyone who wants to pair colors together (I use it for my closet too!!).  Here Daffodil Delight pairs with Cherry Cobbler and Early Espresso.  Using them in the card makes for an appealing card. 
 
Stamping the Early Espresso Script circle from the Collage Curios then layering the Cherry Cobbler Ring around it is easy.  The subtle Daffodil Delight bee fits in perfectly!! 
In the 'Pursuit of Happiness' we call life - this stamp set (Idea Book & Catalog) encourages us to 'Live in the sunshine' and that is exactly what I try to do!  I did mistakenly stamp this AFTER embossing the card, in Cherry Cobbler...
I remind you that stamping BEFORE embossing is key...
Punching this out, after stamped, is easy peasy, lemon squeezy (lemon - yellow card - lol).  Wrapping this Early Espresso Bakers Twine around and through our Brights Designer Buttons (Idea Book & Catalog) helps to button this project up (button it up - lol). 

Leaving extra I punched the 1/16" circle handheld punch and threaded it through the stamped, punched circle.
(Shhhh - the secret here is the punched bee circle, and Daffodil Delight buttons are held down with Stampin' Dimensional Adhesive to keep them 'floating' right where I want them - lol.)
 What does this card 'say' to you?!?!
I hear the constant buzzing of my life - the kids, phones, tv, husband, schools, life...
 (Like Joy, the buzzing busy sound of my life.. lol).
 
 What are your thoughts on this card?!?

What Others are SAYING about Getting Crafty with Jamie

Jamie is so passionate and creative about making cards - and wants everyone else to join her in the fun! She is so encouraging and positive in her attitude, helping me along when I get frustrated - and then rejoicing with me at the finished product! I love going to her classes to get new ideas, learn techniques, and have loads of fun in the process. ~ Christine C.

Jamie has wicked awesome classes! If you don’t like a particular stamp or paper/ink color Jamie wants you to change it to suit your style! I did my sister-in-law’s entire bridal shower from invitations/thank you cards, party favors to decorations, it was quaint and whimsical! Everyone ooh’d and ahh’d! I’ve had lots of special requests for classes and Jamie delivers; she always has tasty treats and flavored coffees too ~Ashley W.

I have been attending Jamie's classes for over a year. Her ideas for cards are fresh and fun. She always tries to have several different styles of cards available, so everyone gets to make cards that fit their personal style. The techniques she shows each class can be used in many different applications. She is very patient teacher when instructing class members on how to use the Stampin Up products. ~ Carol D.

If I looked up the word sparkle in the dictionary, I would find Jamie Albanese picture there. I have had the sweet blessing of knowing Jamie and her family for over 5 years now. Every time I am with her I feel loved and inspired. When I am in one of her classes I feel my creative juices flow, as she encourages me to go outside my comfort zone. Jamie helped our girl scout troop make cards for a soldier who needed some encouragement!!! For any of you who have not been in one of Jamie's classes, please don't let another day slip by. She is a beautiful friend and she will become yours too. ~ Blessings, Karen:-)

Jamie has a great eye for style and flair, and it shows in her work. Yet she can pick up on your own individual style and makes great recommendations. I love that she is always flexible for last-minute decision maker mommies like me! So much fun to host craft events with your friends and family - that personal touch always means so much. ~ Adonna
