Wow, it took me all day to round up all these BEES!!! I finally managed to get all 22 of them, and they are all here on this card, on their way to Mississippi!! Check out Cindy's fun Teaparty here: CC231 Bleached Autumn Splendor by krischir at Splitcoaststampers
I used another vintage Stampin' Up set here!! Betsy The Beekeeper. I'm not sure the year... probably about 1997. I feel kinda guilty now for buying new stamps, because I have so many like this one, that have been untouched for probably over 10 years! It was really fun playing with this one today!!
TFL!!

I had to count carefully, but I think I found all twentytwo bees. Uncle Beeford WILL be pleased. Betsey's old-fashioned skep is lovely, too - haven't seen one of those in a long time. When we are on holidays in Greece, we often see little bee-hives dotted round the mountain sides. But they're nothing like as picturesque as this - more like little white painted boxes.

Wow! 22 bees! Good for you, Kris. You've been stamping for a long time, eh? Too bad SU doesn't still have images like Betsy; I love her. What a cute, cute card!

Awww, this is one sweet beekeeper. Probably make a good wife for Uncle Beeford, he has been longing for a woman companion friend. Love the oval framing of course! The bees buzzin' all around and the fun ribbon too. Kris, this card is full equiped for the teapot party! WOW, she will have to wait until the bees finish with their group hug before she can hug Uncle Beeford though. LOL TFS

Kris, I love this old set with the delightful beekeeper. Yes, I counted the bees. Neat idea to stamp some on your twill. This is a fun, adorable card and I love it!!
