Sugar Plum Birthday

I've been trying to get all of my grad cards and birthday cards done before I tackle fixing my studio wall. You may have seen my catastrophe on my FB page recently. I'll post a separate before and after pic later. Right now I want to share with you this cute birthday card I made for my dad's step-granddaughter who is turning one.

Okay, yes, I'm using Teddy Bear Parade quite a bit recently, but this cart has so many darned cute bears!!! I am a softy for bears. I collected them as a kid (still have all of them - hope I can bring them to Sydney with me).  I also pulled out the DCWV Nana's Kids stack. I love all of the bright colors in this stack:-) The ribbon is from PTI and the cute sentiment is from Scrappy Moms Critter Crazy stamp set.

Let's Hit The Beach!

Welcome! Looks like we're finally going to get some summer weather this weekend:-) A few fun blog challenges have inspired me to make this summer fun lovin' teddy bear card.

This little bear is ready to do a little swimmin'! I used the Teddy Bear Parade Cricut cartridge along with patterned paper from My Mind's Eye's Sunny pad. The orange button is tied on with some Mandarin baker's twine from The Twinery. The sentiment is from My Creative Time's Have Fun In The Sun stamp set. The cream layer behind the teddy bear is dry embossed with the Swiss Dot Cuttlebug folder. I also "popped" up the bear's nose over his goggles for a little more dimension.

FCCB Luck O The Irish Challenge

March is my official unofficial beginning of Spring! Even though we have 9 inches of snow here, I know it won't be around for long:-) This weeks challenge at FCCB is about all things Irish! For my inspiration project, I made a A2 sized card using my new Teddy Bear Parade cart. I don't know why I waited so long to get this fabulous cartridge. This little leprechaun cutey was cut at 3 1/2 inches using various scraps of card stock along with some patterned paper from DCWV Flower Shower Spring matstack. The light PP was embossed with Darice's St. Pat's folder. I inked up the black edges with some white craft ink for a little dimension. The cute face is a stamp from Critter Faces Set A XL Peachy Keen set. The little buckle on his hat has a touch of gold Stickles. The fun Irish sentiment is from Scrappy Moms Spring Fling set.

Make sure you check out this weeks rules along with the other DT inspiration projects then come play along at FCCB! Thanks for stopping by. Have a creative day:-)
