I went wild with that bee stamp this month.
My onefer....
The sunflower is the die cut I used for a stencil for this card.
It was too pretty to toss and my UFO box is so full.
The background was a leftover from the other card on the same post.
It worked well here.
I love when I can use those leftovers right away!
A dry embossed honeycomb and a little stamping made a quick
home for this bee.
We recently visited my hometown in Vermont.
It's been so nice to be in my beloved Green Mountains.
Here's the view from our deck.
Thanks for the visit and special thanks for your comments.
Enjoy!

Beautiful, very nicely done cards!
Your photo is really, Jim and I drover through Vermont on a vacation about 30 years or so ago. I have to say I remember it being a beautiful state!
Wonderful bee cards!
Another two terrific twofers, Bonnie. Good thing you didn’t toss the sunflower cutout... it looks right at home on your onefer. Wonderful use of snippets. xx
And what a fabulous view from the deck.
great twofer Bonnie, I love that little bee picking up the pollen from your sunflower :)
It must have been fun back in your home town catching up with everyone, beautiful view from the veranda :)
Beautiful cards, Bonnie, and super kudos for using those leftovers! I aspire to such greatness!
Am loving your bee cards Bonnie!! Such great designs and wonderful colouring of that gorgeous sunflower! Love the dots of honey on both cards!! Your beloved Green Mountains are gorgeous. Looks like you had wonderful weather for your vacation! xx

Two cheerful, fun cards! Love that you used some leftovers -- I like to do that, too. Thanks for including the beautiful picture of Vt. ...visiting family and remembering our roots is so important!
Love your two-fer bee cards. Great design on both of them.
Bonnie, it would BEE a shame to let these fab leftovers BEE left behind! Thanks for MORE darling Twofers!

Wow, incredible save! Such a nice appeal with the BG left over under the coloured stencil sunflower. That bee truly appreciates this yummy bloom, he nearly steals the show. The second one is a darn pretty note, love the layering and dry embossing. Two BEEautiful cards xx
Lovely cards Bonnie...you have been a busy bee yourself!...and that view...WOW! spectacular! xx
They are both BEEutiful Bonnie and how perfect to use up leftovers and still come out with FABULOUS cards! And your Green Mountains are just as BEAUTIFUL...sounds like a picture perfect vacation!! :0)
Oh my gosh I love both of these. They are so cheerful and I just love that little bee. I was looking for one the other day and didn't have one. That sunflower is gorgeous and love the clean design of the embossed honeycomb pattern. These are wonderful, Bonnie!
Beautiful bee cards using your gorgeous leftover pieces, Bonnie. TFS and Thank you for sharing your gorgeous photo of Vermont and the beautiful mts. So pleased you had a wonderful trip to see family too. TFS Hugs...Nancy
What a gorgeous sunflower die cut Bonnie and love the way it is coloured, and then the dry embossed honeycomb on the second with the strip for the sentiment both make great backgrounds for your very pretty bee to buzz about on. x
Sorry I also meant to say that I love the photo of Vermont, the mountains look so beautiful and the whole scene looks idyllic, and great for you to spend time with your family. x
Another wonderful set of twofer bee cards, Bonnie!
The sunflower die-cut is beautiful with the soft dot background. I can't believe these were already in your stash. They look like they were specially made for this card. The placement of the bee and the sentiment is perfect.
The dry embossed honeycomb of the second card adds so much interest to this CAS layout.
So glad that you had a wonderful time with your family in Vermont. Home sweet home...

Two sweet cards. I like warm honey colors and your bees are just wonderful. Two well-designed cards
