I Love Bee-ing your Friend-DT Generations Crafting

 It feels great being home and getting back to creating..
being on vacation for 2 weeks kind of kicks your butt, if you know what I mean..LOL

I got these wonderful BasicGrey  Olivia line papers from Generations Crafting and since there are so many wonderful colors and prints to choose from,  I really had a hard time getting started..LOL
Plus, Leah (beecherrylady) talked me into buying the new Create A Critter cartridge, I did get it while vacationing in Florida and it was pure torture having to wait the 2 weeks till I got home to use it..  :O)
 I really wasnt sure if I needed this cartridge or not, but I'm so super glad I did buy for myself..
Here are some close ups of the layout:


I ended up adding some glossy accents to the wings of the bees and the hearts.. It looks super cute.

  10. So glad you made it home safely Nanne!! And I'm so glad you got this cartridge, because this is just adorable!!! The little bees are super cute!! I have this cart too, and just like all the others it's just sitting on the shelf, and now I realize that I should have used that sweet little bee on a layout I just did.. For some reason it's so hard for me to use my cricut!! But I'm going to try and do better and use it more... You're such an inspiration!! Super cute layout and I love the colors!! Have a wonderful day!!! Hugs!!
