Busy Bees with Silver Embossing Paste, honeycomb stencil background

I went digging inside the drawer and look what I found, this embossing paste honeycomb background.  

This stencil by is Tim Holtz and I applied Dreamweaver Stencil's silver embossing paste. Then the bee stamp is by Stampin Up. Its original stamp is the one in the center that has words coming out of his butt. I stamped the bee in yellow and cut off the sentiment.
 The hexagon punch is by Stampin Up. The center embellishment is stacking hexagons pointing up and down. Thank you for looking.

Thanks for looking. 

Lately, I haven't been thrilled with my blog. It feels like a mess. There aren't enough hours in the day to fix 3971 blog posts. I was hoping that the background change would get the fonts the same size. Nope!  It didn't work.  So, there are two options
1.) Continue pondering over it and wasting time re-doing every post since 2009.
2.)Stop worrying about it. Each day 15 people come to my blog.
I blog so my projects are all in one place. I like to look back at the cards and layouts I did in 2011. In fact, I started with didn't make cards at first. It was mostly scrapbooking and I have a lot of scrapbooking things to post. Off of my computer onto my blog.  I will finish up with one of my quotes...

Sizzix Impresslits Hexagon Cut and Emboss

I used a Sizzix embossing folder on the green cardstock. I stamped and punched out a Stampin Up hexagon out of a lighter green cardstock. The hexagon fir perfectly in the largest opening. The bee stamp is also by Stampin Up. I did a sloppy fussy cut to fit in the opening. Then the next largest hexagon opened a placed the hexagon that the smallest hex provided when it cut out. That's a crazy explanation. Thanks for hanging in there with me. HAGD

Bee happy card

I made this card using the Cricut cartridge Just Because Cards for the sentiment. I then adhered it to vellum and ran it through my Xyron machine. The hexagon shapes were punched out using a Creative Memories punch. The bee stickers are from a long time ago by Susan Branch for Colorbok. I placed a what I call a bubble sticker over it. It's a yellow tinted epoxy sticker in the shape of a circle. It really makes the bees look bigger in real life. The ribbon is by Pebbles. The inside of the card reads "It's your birthday".

Thanks for stopping by.
