Pillow Talk is all the Buzz at Creative Creases #72
Welcome to the last Creative Creases Challenge of 2023. We hope this year has given you many hours of crafting and inspiration. This challenge (#72) will give you two extra weeks to create and enter. Until January 4, 2024 to be exact.
Since we’ll be crossing over to the new year, I’ve chosen to feature the Bee Mine Suite Collection of products from the new January-April, 2024 mini catalog (available to the general public on January 4, 2024). Perfect for Valentine’s Day.
No video tutorial needed for this one. However, I have included construction tips. Are you ready to get started?
My Fun-Fold is the little bee. The pillow box is actually part of the suite and it’s super easy to assemble.

Oh, Rae, this pillow box is too cute! I just love bees (at least the ones that aren’t bothering me LOL) and this one is wanting the prize inside the box. I haven’t been able to play with my new stuff yet but hope to get some projects done over the holiday season. I wish you a wonderful holiday season, full of blessings, my friend! Hugs
Thank you so much Debbie. I’m with you on the bees. Hope the holiday season is good to you and your family. Can’t wait to see more pictures of Noah on your blog. Great big hug back to you.
