My Bees-ness

What a grueling day! My elementary students are preparing posters for a statistics contest, and my middle schoolers are preparing for a science competition being held on Saturday. I'm so drained!! From engaging the little ones' creative sides to managing adolescents' nervousness, I feel like I teach a bunch of vampires. Thank goodness, I adore them. (In case this sounds confusing, I teach/advise gifted & talented students in grades 2nd - 12th. I've had the same students for five years now, so it's like our own crazy family.)

So the card. I love it. How did I ever come up with this after such a crazy day! I looked at the Wednesday sketch challenge on SCS and didn't want to work on it right away. I picked up this stamp and DP recently and worked for awhile to come up with my final project. I used my Cricut to cut out the scalloped circles and circle. I hand cut the flowers from the DP (Paper Studio Emily's Flowers) and glued them to the front. The bee is done with Prismacolor watercolor pencils. The whole card just makes me smile - I hope it does the same for you!
