it's Kate's turn to choose the challenge and she's feeling all summertimey.....in a bit of a creepy-crawly way. The challenge is "Bugs & Slugs" which just means she would like to see an insect or gastropod.
This is what I did....
I used a freebie digi (image & sentiment) from Paper Smooches. I've had this happy bee for AGES, I can't believe this is the first time I've ever used it. (Edited to add: I happened to be looking at my past blog photos for something and guess what I saw? Yep, a card with this lil guy. So I have used it before. In my defense, it was back in 2013, so I can't be too hard on myself for not remembering, right? *imagining a chorus of "rights" to make me feel better about, well, niggling doubts about my age vs memory*) As you can see, it was awfully busy (or should I say buzzy - bwahahahahaha) flying all over the place on my card front there. Omg, wouldn't it be awesome if that's how bees looked irl? Can you image walking outside and looking over your lawn and seeing these cubby, happy, polka dotted bees just merrily bobbing from clover to other weed-flower with those big grins and wonky eyes? Being all like, "Hullo! I'm just collecting some pollen so I can make honey later. Well, I best bee buzzing off!" (Because, of course, bees are into puns.)
So, why not grab and insect or such and head on over to Little Red Wagon and link up? And, while you're there, be sure to check out the wonderful projects the other Girlfriends have created.
