I'm way late in getting this card made and posted to honor past Queen, Kathleen, aka Kathleen Lammie. Not only was I sick and not in the mood for card making, but I had to find these dp's that were buried in my scrap pile. I knew the card I had in mind to CASE all along, just had to go digging. Finally in the mood for that chore, so now I got the card made.
Other than the bee theme, I pretty much changed everything. Where Kathleen used yellow and black, I used pink, black and yellow.
I'm bummed that I didn't have anymore of that great yellow ribbon with the bees on it, but this ribbon works too. The pretty flowers are from ribbon that my LSS just got in from Australia. Funny thing about that, is I made a card, took it back to the LSS and all the ribbon sold that day. These flowers are so sweet, you can color them or leave them white. They are easy to cut, as the fabric is like gossamer.
Kathleen's card seen here Have a Bee-utiful Day! by Kathleen Lammie at Splitcoaststampers
says to Have a Bee-utiful Day, where mine says to Bee Happy. If you look at Kathleen's avatar, she looks happy and I know for a fact she has a great sense of humor.
Kathleen this one is for you! Bee Happy and Have a Bee-utiful Day!!

Aw, Jennifer! I knew you were ill and not up to making a card! But it is EXTRA sweet of you to make a card and post it today!!! I LOVE that BEE-utiful paper!!! Your little bee with the acetate wings is ADORABLE and those flowers, not only are so very pretty, they seem to be one of a kind!!! I always like the lovely Cherry Lane flourish and of course, the sentiment! While we can't always be happy, it sure is nice to wish happiness to others!
You know what? Jennifer, you are EXTRA sweet even without ever making a card! I comes shining thru with all the kindness you share! Thank you for making this adorable card and I am so happy you are feeling better!!!

Jennifer, a GORGEOUS card. I was immediately drawn to those beautiful flowers and that flitting bee DP is SO sweet. The pink and brown are pretty combo with just a touch of yellow added for dash.

Like the other responders, I like the color combination. The bees around here are going away as the flowers they like are about gone. Didn't have a big bumble bee this year like I did last year.
