Busy Beauties Boutique New Release Blog Hop

Welcome & THANK YOU for joining the Busy Beauties today! If you are arriving here from Heather's blog, you are hopping right along. To start at the beginning, please visit Carolyn’s blog.

Today is my birthday and I've always been about the card, yes I do enjoy gifts, but I always loved getting birthday cards. I love(d) that the person took time to find just the right card to send/give to me often adding their own note(s). Maybe that is part of the reason I enjoy making cards so much. I truly love the new images that Carolyn and Thomas have created and want to showcase a couple of them. So without further adieu here are my creations:

On this card I used the Tailz and Finz digi stamp image.

A quick clean and simple card. I just love fish, I'm not really into horoscopes, yet this Pisces chibi is adorable! Purple and green are my favorite colors and this card came together rather easily. The card idea is from my current issue of Papercrafts magazine.

Here is my card using the Shamrock'd Beauty. Isn't she just too cute?

We are super excited to introduce a new set of images (available for purchase on Saturday, March 6) and also share some news! Coming Soon...The BUSY BEAUTIES BLOG! We are hoping to have all the kinks worked out and launch the blog next month, but we just couldn’t contain our excitement and want to get our feet wet now with OUR FIRST EVER BUSY BEAUTIES CHALLENGE! Our theme is “GO GREEN!” and the challenge is to use GREEN as the predominate color on your card/project. TheWEDNESDAY, MARCH 17^TH (St. Patrick’s Day)! challenge is open from now through BBB images are of course encouraged & preferred, but not required for this one. Since our official blog is not yet ready, Catherine will be hosting the challenge on her blog, where you can find all the nitty-gritty details and link your creations.

Enjoy the hop and we can't wait to see your GO GREEN Challenge creations!

Think of me while I'm taking a mid-term today and then I'll be celebrating my birthday with a massage and hopefully going out for frozen custard at Culver's in Taylor, MI. We'll see how that all plays out.
