Happy Bee Day/Peachy Challenge #1

The first challenge of the year over at Peachy Keen is to create a project with a pocket. The design team made so many inspiring projects. I needed a birthday card for a close friend and I've been having trouble coming up with something special, but the juices sure were flowing after visiting the Peachy blog!
 

My bee was cut from Create a Critter and her face was stamped using one of my favorite Peachy sets, Happy Lashes.  Tonight I was reminiscing about when I was not able to use Peachy faces because I had no way to "hide contour" on my Cricut projects. I had the Gypsy, but it took a while before Provo Craft added that feature. It was such a sad time back then. LOL.  Those faces really add such character and life to each cut. Ok, back to my project.



The card base was cut from Lacey Labels. I used my Gypsy to weld the image together. The sentiment stamp on the outside is a Pink By Design set called Honey Pie. It's full of cute "bee" sentiments. I also added some glossy accents to her flower antennae and her wings. I just love this cute little bee!

On the inside, that little tag is from Emma's Build a Banner kit and so is that hounds tooth background. Isn't it adorable?! The sentiment on the inside is from Emma's Polka Dot Surprise set. Another gem. All Emma's stamps are amazing.
