You deserve a break today...a break from all of my country craftsy primmy Christmas concoctions!
Today, I'm serving up a cup of Paper Smooches fun! The Paper Smooches SPARKS challenge featured this picture perfect inspiration this week:
Ah, so soothing, so calming, so...not Christmas colors! Here's the card I made this morning:
A little chevron, a little floral, a little love. I wanted a big, giant flower for this little bee to perch himself upon. I decided to make one using a large circle center, with small circle petals along the edge.
I just put a thin line of glue along the back of the big circle, then put the small circles in place.
Super fun and funky! I decided to give the petals a little more oomph by adding a line of faux stitching.
Seriously, who doesn't need a little Love Bug? I know I do!
Thanks for stopping by the cafe today!

Hi I have been following your blog for just a little over a year now. I found you through searching a stampin up stamp set (can't remember which one now). I just want you to now I love all of you cards and faith inspiration. When you said that you were not going to be posting a lot of cards and things anymore I was sad, so just to let you know I'm so glad you are back posting again. I may not post any comments but be sure I love reading your blog and all your faith!!!
