Bee in the moment...

I haven't felt like "playing" with my "toys" lately...but thankfully I seem to be getting stronger!   I also have been playing around my blog site and uploaded a digital paper "vines" from Etsy to reinforce John 15.5 which is in the blog header.  I've started using some digital papers and images in my artwork.  For me, it's about having fun and continuing to have a measure of success as I age and with my side effects of Myeloma treatment.  When I do challenges I especially enjoy "sketches."  It gives me a starting point!     This one from Try Stampin on Tuesday grabbed my attention because of the all the shapes!  I met both of the challenge goals since I used a die cut as well as followed the sketch.     Simple and sendable were my main goals for today.   For the Can you Handle the Pressure challenge (anything goes with a flower twist), I used one of my favorite folders from a company that no longer exists.  I think since this folder has a couple of flowers on it I met the challenge twist!   It created a serene place for my bees to play.  I didn't have a "Bee" sentiment, but I think Enjoy the simple moments works well.  I love going out and piddling with my flower beds and raised bed garden (squash, tomatoes, and pepper plants.)   Right now they are beautiful plants and I'm excited to think in about one month I will start harvesting vegetables.   Of course, bees are pollinators so while I don't get close to them, they are very helpful!      I always appreciate comments and thanks to all of you who design at these two challenge blogs...Your cards help "jumpstart" my creative thinking!    Stay well,   Kathy
