~The Latest Buzzz~

Happy Tuesday! Today’s color challenge was to use pumpkin pie, soft sky and ruby red… i don’t have any soft sky, so I called in a favor and was allowed to substitute my precious Cool Caribbean!! How cool are these colors?!
I had alot of fun making this, but here’s what happened. I told you before, I won the Janome Sew Mini at our gathering. Well, today I decided I wasn’t going to let it intimidate me…. so I opened the box.. gently pulled it out… only to drool for moments before realizing, I have no thread! LOL Guess who will be going shopping!!?? Now, someone come teach me how to thread a bobbin, please!
Sew (pun intended), I decided to doodle some instead. I found this piece of Summer Picnic DP that is Pumpkin pie colored with tiny white dots… so cute and the reverse is a perfect match for these colors! Score 🙂
I pulled out my Hambos.. picked an image and started coloring. The rest is history…. teehee.
Here’s my deets:
Stamps: Hambo Stamps (www.hambostamps.com)
Colors: Ruby Red, Pumpkin Pie, Watercolor white, Cool Caribbean, Summer Picnic DPs

TFL!~ and have a blessed day!
Sorry about the missing thread for your new “toy” – hehe – but then what a wonderful excuse to go shopping 🙂
Very cute card. Love the doodling on the panel. Another “aaahhhh” moment for this very creatively challenged stamper who thinks of doodling only on the main image panel. Thanks for expanding my stamping mind and options yet again!! Have a great day.
I just LOVE it Holly! The image is colored so perfectly, and the colors really show it off. Great multi-ribbon bow too. 🙂
What a fresh and fun card!!!!
I just love the hive/buzz pun, too!
This is completely adorable!!
