Sneak Peak

Our new Idea Book will go live on February.  In the meantime, I thought I would give you a sneak peak of one of the new kits called Buzz & Bumble.  The occasion is a birthday of one of my very wonderful friends, Karen!  I thought she would enjoy something made with one of the new papers!  I used this week's Mojo Monday sketch.  Here is my rendition of the sketch:
