Buzzin' 'Round The Honey

Hello Family and Friends,

Happy Mother's Day to all the mothers who visit my blog.  Today's post is a tag I made for a swap at yourpaperpantry.ning.com and was hosted by Kate of Tennessee.  I have met so many nice ladies at the pantry and have made some really great friends from all over the world.

My tag was made with a base of grunge board cut into the shape of a tag.  I used distress ink to ink the raised areas of the grunge board.  I used Sure Cuts A Lot to cut a bird cage SVG and then cut out the center to make the hive.  I placed to layers of netting, black and gold behind the hive. For the honey, I colored UTEE with butterscotch alcohol ink and melted it on to the netting.  The bee is a dollar stamp from Michael's or Joann's..can't remember which.  The flight path of the bee is a cloth wire from my stash.
The charm, which represents dripping honey, is vintage beading from the thrift store...

Altered Book Club...Amelia Bedelia

Hello Friends,

I am in an Altered Book Club at my LSS and I had to do four pages for a favorite children's book so I choose my very favorite book from my childhood...Amelia Bedelia by Peggy Parish.  Amelia is the maid that takes everything on her list literally and the book always made me laugh...

Here are my pages...:
