Lady Bug & Bumblebee Cards












I just love these fun little cards! I had a request from a hairdresser to make some Bee Cards for her. I looked all over for Bee Stamps. Then I saw this darling Lady Bug ribbon and matching stamp at Hobby Lobby and just had to make the Ladybug one too! I used to collect Ladybug things before I started collecting SNOWMEN!
The white Uniball pen is so much fun to use!! And the Stickles too! And Oh I love those scalloped Nestabilities!
I love sending these to friends! They are sure to cheer up anyone! I gave one to my niece for her birthday and she wants to frame it.
