So glad there isn't a time limit on these challenges...I was away last week and missed this one when it first came out. Here's my attempt for Going Yo-Yo, and SC125 as well.
How funny that this should be the challenge--I've never uploaded my cards to show but I just got through using YoYo Yellow, basic black, and non-SU white to make thank you notes for my kindergarten parents! We're the "Busy Bees" and I found two $1.00 bee stamps at JoAnn's that I couldn't resist.
I just cut a black mat about a half inch smaller than the card itself, used some "fancy" scissors all around, then stamped "Just Bee-cause" or "Bee Happy" in black ink on white circles (the bee and the sayings) or ovals. I added a bright yellow ribbon through the white CS. I made 14 simple cards in an hour! I was thrilled with the ease and mailed them off this morning. Thanks for the challenge!
A couple of weeks' ago I made a card for a second punch class and it screamed out YOYO YELLOW. It was a punched bee. I made the same card for a friend's birthday, but changed the sentiment to say Ha"bee" Birthday!
Unfortunately, I'm having trouble linking the card to this message, but you can view it in my gallery.

Reason: updating
Okay---y'all are going to think I'm crazy, but I've never received a PM until today and I didn't know how to reply! Thanks for the "nudge" to upload a card...I may do that one day if I can figure out how to do more than just post here, LOL! I love to see what everyone else has done, but I still get SO lost.....
I actually love using Yoyo Yellow..it is such a CHEERFUL color. This is the first time I have paired it with Tempting Turquoise...and I LOVE the color combo. :-) LM
This is my first attempt at uploading a card to a challenge. This is a pretty simple card, and not my best work, but I thought it'd be fun to contribute.
