Okay, I gotta admit...

Hey y'all! Okay. So I gotta admit...not having a card to share, was killing me!!! I like to try and keep my blog, updated and fresh! When, I gave y'all my little update yesterday, something just kept itching at me! Like, 'get yourself in gear and pull it together' type thing. lol So, all and all, that's what I did! I took a little break from some DT stuff and made a card for a couple challenges! :)

Okay, I knew when I saw the current Poppy Sketches challenge, I just had to play along again! Seriously, I can't get enough of these challenges! I love them! ;) Then, I saw the current CASology challenge and didn't want to pass that up! Because well, I love those challenges, too! Honestly, let's just say I love a lot of challenges! ;)





So, here's my card!


This just sort of came to me. I was actually surprised, that it came together so quickly! Normally, that wouldn't be the case! lol Now, I did debate whether to have my sentiment in black vs the brown. Though, because the little 'bee line' was black, I thought it would just 'blend together' too much. So, that's what led me to go with the brown. (Maybe I should have reversed it, so the sentiment was black and the bee line was brown?...) I also, wanted my sequins and bee to stand out. So with the brown sentiment and black bee line, I thought it would act like part of the wood. So what do you think?!...

Thanks for stopping by! And I'll still be a little busy working on things...though, I do have a scheduled post for tomorrow, which is special to me. I hope you'll swing by to see?!...And no, it's not my news yet. You're just gonna have to wait a little more for that. ;)

Enjoy your day and I'll see y'all soon!
