Time for our monthly Whimsy and Stars Studio blog hop. You should have reached my blog from Suzanne, but if you didn't you can go back to the Whimsy and Stars blog and start from the beginning so you don't miss anything from my DT sistahs cause I'm the caboose of this train. ☺ Leave us some love if you can.
Mabelle is releasing two brand new spring digis and boy are they cute!
I had this awesome sketch on my drawing board from Sweet Sunday Sketch (not current now) that I wanted to use so badly and when Mabelle sent us the new digis I got so excited cause the Spring Bees were just perfect for the sketch. It's kind of hard to tell from the photo, but I printed the bees and flower out a second time and they are popped up on foam dots for a 3D effect. It's really cute IRL.
I was trying to figure out how I wanted to do the flower center when I remembered I had found those cool orange Martha Stewart micro beads a long time ago on clearance. Makes for a fun middle huh.
I won't apologize for sticking a new song in your heads. It's a good one. LOL
The hop will end at 7:00 p.m. EST on Friday, March 8 and Mabelle will be selecting two winners from the comments who will each receive one free digi. Happy hopping!

SUCH A DARLING CARD!I JUST THE THE BEES AND THE SENTIMENT.
Aha, they saved one my favorit-est blogs for last in the hop :) Beautiful card, I love what you did with the bees and flower to make them pop off the card.
So stinkin' cute! This is such a fun card it makes me squeal! The design is fabulous and the papers are so cheery and fun. Love love what you did with this stamp. The colouring makes me want to hug them (I don't think bees actually like to be hugged, though). The flower center is such an inspired idea and the dimension of the extra layers is gorgeous. Gushing here, Tracy!
