Busy Beauties are geared up for Spring and to show how fired up we are for the beauty of the season we have TWO EVENTS going on today! Yep --- TWO! First ......a blog hop!
My card for the blog hop features the lovely "Tea Time" and "Tea and Cookies" images that I used for a Mother's Day card. The images are colored with Copics and mounted on bright spring dp from Daisy D's. I love to use silk flowers on the cards and a lovely charm is irresistable. On the inside..........
........... you will find the image "Tea and Cookies". These images are so sweet and I can think of dozens of card types to use them on. Oh, but there are so many more new images! In a minute I will tell you who is next on the blog hop........
But don't go away yet!!
We hope you’ll join us for a TWIST & a SHOUT! The “TWIST” being our new GO GREEN WITH A TWIST Challenge (in honor of Earth Day) at the Busy Beauties Creation Station! And the “SHOUT” being a RELEASE PARTY over on Paper Craft Planet this SATURDAY AT 8 P.M. EDT. We'll bring the Party Favors! *wink, wink*
I made a special birthday card for the GO GREEN WITH A TWIST CHALLENGE. My lovely Grandma Browning was born on this date in 1900! She would love that Earth Day is on her date of birth! I don't know anyone who could grow prettier flowers or more delectable vegetables in her garden!
This card is a recycled front with the addition of the new BB image "Spring Flowers", colored with Copics. I know Grandma would have loved this card!
The sentiment on the inside is just what I would say to her on this, her 110th birthday.
Now, on to the rest of the hop...........
Your next stop is the always amazing Karen! When you reach the Busy Beauties Creation Station you will find more details about the hop, the challenge, and the release party!
Thanks for bopping & hopping with us, and we hope to see you for the TWIST and SHOUT!
