This month our little group focused on the fabulously versatile Close to My Heart Buzz and Bumble Paper Pack featuring soft tans, creamy light yellows, and smooth peachy orange. The paper patterns give choices or stripes, bumble bees, soft old newspaper, and adaptable light geometric patterns. If you hopped here from
Betsy's blog, you have already seen how easy it is to use these fabulous papers.
Buzz and Bumble perfectly coordinates with the photos of my great grandmother's sepia photos. She was a lovely woman and we have great stories about her. We have wonderful stories of her and everything I have heard about her tell of a lovely graceful women who tragically lost family members too soon, loved to garden, and was an excellent mother. I wanted to combine the so trendy hexagon shapes with the antique photos while showcasing this beautiful woman. CTMH features the paper with several wonderful stamp sets and accessories: Honeycomb stampset, Brown & Tan Glitter Paper, Keyboard Kraft Alphabet, Brown & Tan Sparkles Assortment, Durables Artisan studs, and cute Buzz and Bumble Assortment of adhesive backed wooden accessories. I used the Pattern 2 from the CTMH publican Make It From Your Heart, a wonderful book full of scrapbook and card patterns and ideas. I listed the recipe for this layout below.

At the last minute, I needed a quick gift for the Oscar's party a friend was hosting and a birthday gift for a co-worker. I had all the my Buzz and Bumble materials out and I grabbed last month's Stamp of the Month: Home Sweet Home to make these very, very quick wine bottle tags inspired by Tamara Pope's tags I found on Pinterest. I used all the exact same supplies: accessories, paper pack, colors, Artiste cartridge, and adding a little Baker's Twine to create a total different look and more importantly gifts in 30 minutes!
