Vintage Birthday at The Paper Shelter

 Hello Crafty Peeps,

I don't know where time is going lately! I am definitely looking forward to spring coming though. The snow is getting boring now.

For this week's challenge at The Paper Shelter, our theme is FOR THE BOYS, which should give you lots of room for interpretation!

I have used a page from the 'Vintage Nostalgia' colouring book. There are several in there that are perfect for this theme, so be sure to have a browse!

As it's for a male birthday, I kept it very simple and just added a sentiment,

Happy Bee-Day at The Paper Shelter

Hello Crafty Peeps,

Time is flying and we are already into March. Hopefully you have better spring weather than I do!

This week's theme at The Paper Shelter is In The Garden, so you can interpret that how you like.

I have used 'The Queen Bee' for a fun layered birthday card.

I couldn't resist this punny sentiment!

I edged her wings with white marker to make them seem more transparent.

Of course her wings also needed some sparkle!
