It turns out there were two tornadoes that touched down in Beech Grove instead of straight line winds. Our state had several touchdowns but everyone is okay. There is flooding in the southern part of the state. Thanks for everyone who checked on me.
If this rest has taught me anything, it is I spend too much time online. Not being on the computer so much has given me time to play in the challenges I like. The Twofer is my last one this month and I am going to take it easy now.
I was really fretting about the bees in the Twofer this month. All of the cards on the challenge are so cute and fun. I have a couple of bees in stamp sets but they are tiny. The I remembered this metal stencil from 1997 called Bumble Bee by Lasting Impressions. On my first card I used a pen through the stencil and yellow and black Copics.. The black and white paper is from Graphic 45 and I sponged over it with Wild Honey Oxide ink to make it look honeycombish. The sentiment is Lawn Fawn. Then I was stumped. I wanted to use this adorable La-La Land bumble bee Marci stamp. I stamped her and colored with Copics, then stenciled the bees around her. This was a lot of typing so I'm off again. See you soon.
Be kind to one another.

Both your cards look a treat. Glad to hear your safe from the weather. Take it nice and easy with your crafting time. Hugs Mrs A.
Thank you for commenting on the tornadoes, Brenda. I was getting worried. And thank you for playing in this month's Twofer Card Challenge, but I don't want you to hurt yourself doing it! Having said that, your cards are really fantastic! I had to click to enlarge to find the bees on your little cutiebee girlie ... very clever! And your second design is a perfect hello card! Genius to sponge over the pp and make it look honeycombish! I hope the weather has passed now and you have several days of lovely sunshine to dry up the flooding! Hugs, Darnell
Well, Brenda--once again you nailed it! What fabulous cards you came up with for the challenge! So glad you weren't hurt by the storm. Guess the damage makes more sense with it being tornadoes, although straight line winds can be pretty bad, too. Lots of flooding in the country this year, but certainly not around here with all our hot, sunny days. Hoping for some cooler temps this week.
Brenda, these twofer cards are so adorable, I love your little bees flying around
Cute cards, Brenda. I love bees!!!!!! Hugs, my dear friend.
They're both so beautiful, Brenda!! I love the sweet images on both cards!! So glad you are safe, my sweet friend and I'm sorry I missed your call. Thank you so much for checking in. I hope you have a wonderful evening!! Big hugs :)

That little bee-girl is a delight, Brenda ... fabulous colouring ... and so cute with her busy friends buzzing around her! Love the CAS-ness of your flying by card ... it's fresh and fun and so deliciously crisp! Good to hear you're safe ... thanks so much for playing along with us at Twofer! Hugs, Anita :)
You found a wonderful bee to use and a creative way to use him, my friend! I'm glad you can spend some time creating but don't overdo it. I hope you're feeling some relief now and not looking ahead to surgery.
Those are both wonderful cards with the bee image on them. I think you certainly got these done up right for the challenge. And, I am glad you are okay. I hope the weather is calmer from now on.
You might have struggled, but the end result is fabulous. both cards are great xx
Two simply cute and adorable cards! Love how cleverly you used the bee stencil! Keep resting those hands and stay safe from the storms. They're heading our way for the next few days.
Two precious and pretty cards. You were so creative with these bees!!

I am so happy that you were able to make a card, let alone TWO! Please take it easy and heal thy wrists, hands, and whatever else is giving you problems! Our time together will fast approach, glad you have an experiences person assisting you! *wink *wink! Heart Hugs, Col
You'll never guess where we were camping this weekend, Brenda...Turkey Run State Park! Boy, that rain just wouldn't let up! We were going to stay through Monday, but came home on Sunday. We still got to hike, but it poured the whole time. At least we have a pop-up, and not a tent. We say, if you ever need rain, just send the Pogrebas out camping. Now, where were we? Twofer! Your bee stencil is darling, and I love how you used it differently on your two cards. That little La La Land girl is adorable, and of course she would attract those sweet bees, but never fear, I think she is a bee charmer! Thanks for joining in the fun with us at the Twofer Card Challenge - now go rest those wrists!
Ohhhh now that's a clever idea to use the bee stencil on your second card. Two fantastic cards. Thank you for the update on the weather....keep safe and enjoy your crafting x
