Here we are the final day of the SUMMER BUZZ Blog Hop!  My ATC's would not be complete without an appearance from non other than Edgar Allan Poe!  Here we find him among the daffodils on the trellis!  Oh and I spy a bee, I certainly hope he is not allergic to them. 

LeighSBDesigns images used: Edgar Allan Poe, Daffodil Trellis and one of the Busy Bees!

Edgar Allan Poe, a set of Daffodils and the Bee are all fussy cut and attached with dimensional foam. 

This hop my goal was to use at least one image from LeighSBDesigns Collections on each of the ATC's I created.  I am also working on color.  I have Copics but this hop was purely Prismacolor Pencils.   I had a lot of fun during this hop. Thanks for visiting my blog and leaving all the comments!!!  Thanks for an AWESOME hop!
