A BEEyoutiful Day in Paris + a freebie!

Today I bring you a challenge entry for the Challenge YOUrself blog & the Counterfeit Kit Challenge blog.

My Counterfeit Kit for April, Les Voyageurs, was made specifically for my Paris scrapbook. Well, it's quite convenient that I have many photos of myself from our Paris trip, so it fits quite well with the purpose of putting yourself in the photo at Challenge YOUrself. Also, this page ended up with so much shine & sparkle - it's definitely one of my favorites, as I love all things glitter. A page about yourself should include what you love! This month's theme is the Martina McBride song, "This one's for the girls." I was inspired by the lines, "Who dream with everything they have, All around the world." Paris was a dream come true, as well as other locations are for me, around the world!

I've been wanting to do a pinata shape, and a bee came to mind. I just ran with it and I'm really happy how it turned out!

My little beehive didn't show up as much as I would have liked, probably should have done black, but it was stuck down, so it's staying! I just adore that hexagonal washi I got a while back.

Here's a detail of my little buzzy bee. He was a little bit time consuming, but so cute & worth it!

I thought I would make a play on the title to go along with the theme of doing a page about me - and bees - haha I love a good pun!

This page was so much fun to create. I love that gold is all the rage these days - like honey! So, I've created a little svg file that can be used for pocket pages, or anything you desire. I used the free font WM Insects from Da Font.
