The Bee My Valentine Bundle will be in the upcoming Jan-Apr 2024 Mini Catalog and you’ll want to be sure and get it. It’s not just for Valentines or traditional black and yellow bees. I had fun making this sweet thank you card with Tahitian Tide, Flirty Flamingo, and Daffodil Delight, with sponged and splattered Pool Party in the background. With the Bee Builder Punch this project is ready in no time!

Here’s some other projects I’ve made with the Bee My Valentine Bundle:

Steve and I were blessed to spend a very fun weekend in Texas hosted by our oldest son, Sean, and his sweet wife, Amy. On Saturday we drove to New Braunfels to attend Wurstfest. Wurstfest is a festival originally created to celebrate sausage in 1961 and has grown into an annual bash which draws thousands of visitors a day to the dedicated Wurstfest Festival Grounds. Many of the visitors come in traditional German attire as you can see in this picture. The guys wear lederhosen and typically a plaid shirt. Lederhosen are like short overalls made of leather. Sean never liked dressing up so I’m guessing that this shows just how much Sean loves his wife. Amy looks adorable! Sean, Amy and their friends go tubing on the river often during the summer at this same location in New Braunfels.

Steve and I drove to Texas on Wednesday and came back on Sunday. It takes us about 15 hours each way. We were very excited our son, Ryan, and his sweet wife, Bree, were able to fly down and spend the weekend. Here’s Steve and both our sons with their wives. On my Wednesday post, I’ll have more pictures and stories about our trip.

There were several different bands playing at three different venues while we were there. Steve and I danced the polka and the waltz a couple times, which was very fun. We even taught all four of the young adults to polka. What fun!

Magical Meadow Vase of Flowers

I made this 5″ x 7″ card for a color challenge including the colors of Daffodil Delight, Calypso Coral, Lemon Lime Twist, Old Olive and Petal Pink. The vase die came from the Welcome Inn dies, an add on to the June 2023 Paper Pumpkin kit. The Calypso Coral layer is embossed with the Timeworn Type embossing folder. Gold Festive Pearls decorate the pot. I lightly sponged the background with Daffodil Delight and then stamped off twice before stamping the foliage around the edges. All the foliage is from the dies in the Winter Meadow Suite.

The Winter Meadow Suite is not just for Christmas and Winter cards although I’ve made a lot of those too. Here’s a few of my favorites:

This is a beautiful tree from our early morning walk this morning.

I have trouble not taking pictures of all the pretty trees! When I was in Ireland, it was taking pictures of sheep and flowers.

We finally made it to Steve’s 60th birthday on Wednesday. We celebrated each day with a little gift or note for 60 days and then our trip to Ireland. The final celebration was dinner with Ryan and Bree at Jethro’s and some Culver’s frozen custard. Oh yea, they beat us bad at partner Cribbage and then we came back and won a game. Birthday is done and dusted and Steve is actually embracing being 60. Miss ion accomplished! 🙂
