Save the Boo-Bees!

For the entire month of October, the SplitCoastStampers online community has been making cards to share with the MD Anderson Cancer Clinic, in support of clinic patients. You can find more info about the event here.

Each day, there is a new challenge posted to provide inspiration to cardmakers participating in the month-long event. I had the privledge of hosting the October 23rd challenge. My challenge title was "Save the Boo-Bees", and the challenge was to use a bee, or bee friendly scene (like a garden, preferably with bees present), or the color yellow. I thought I would share some of the cards I made as the challenge inspiration.

The first card, Friendship is a wonderful thing, was made using an image from my Bee-lieve in a Cure set, and a sentiment from Lifetime of Happiness.

My second card was also made using images and a sentiment from Bee-lieve in a Cure. It's fun to use the various images in the set to create scenes.

I added lots of glitter for sparkle, shimmer and shine!

And finally, the third card also uses an image from Bee-lieve in a Cure. Once I had the bee and sentiment stamped, I added some sparkly clouds to finish the simple scene.

For all of the cards, I chose various papers from a Prima paper pad -- love those prints and colors!

There have been a lot of cards posted to the gallery in response to my challenge. You can check them out here. All these cards have me buzzin' for joy!

Bzzzz!
