Life lessons courtesy of the bee...

Hello!! I'm sharing a layout today...and there's quite the story of how this one came together...kinda random story....so stay with me as I explain...

I bought the Jillibean Soup Atomic Soup collection shortly after it was released for a number of reasons...1. I like most everything Jillibean Soup makes!! 2. I especially like Jillibean's science stuff as I am a self proclaimed NERD and my husband is a closet NERD (i.e. we're both chemists by training, I admit my nerdiness, he tries to hide it) and 3. My children are NERDS in training--poor things--my son had a lab book describing his every newborn action until he was 3 months old...we loosened up a bit with #2...

Anyways, I got the papers out to scrapbook a page about my son's 1st math test as he scored 100%...the class average was 80%...(told you--we are a FAMILY of NERDS)...AND noticed how the yellow patterned paper depicting fused conjugated rings looked like honeycombs AND I had bee pictures from this summer in my 'to be scrapped pile' AND I'd have plenty of paper left over to scrap the nerdiness of ALL my family members, so I switched subjects...

I cut around the edge of the design to create my own diecut paper, ran it through my Xyron Creatopia, and then started assembling the page. I created a scalloped border from the corrugated flower embellishments, by cutting them in half and lining them up under the photo block. Then I created some life lessons based on my knowlegde of bees (and one line from the BEE MOVIE)...Voila...a fast, fun and somewhat educational page!! Love it...

Toodles all...check back Friday...I'm starting a "Fast, Fun and Fabulous Friday Feature"...that's alot of F words....all ok to use on a G rated blog too!!
