Another frame this week - I took it to a craft fair and it sold straight away - not surprising with such a cute bear

Paper: Craftwork Cards

I've been really busy just recently but had this idea for some frames. They stand up on their own and are about 4.5 inches high and 5.75 wide

Teddy Bea Communion card

 Image: TEDDYBEA_078

Paper: Memory Box

Embossed Hearts: Cuttlebug border folder

Sentiment: Computer Generated

I'd never made a Communion card before so was excited to receive a request for a personalised one.

The lady who commissioned it loved it - fortunately

Bear and Owls - for a couple of cuties

This is the Just Because 6x6 card kit although I have added a bit of embossed kraft card, matted the layers onto mirror cards and cut a out a couple of flowers rather than decoupaging him. The sentiment is a Wellington bear one

If you don't want a full card kit there are also just toppers like these Owl ones that also includes a backing paper although mine is a First Edition Daydream one cut in an arched window using my Silhouette. The sentiment is a Lili of the Valley one.

As I had a couple of images spare I used them to put on the front of a couple of notepads that I keep handy.

Paper Creator Challenge

It's time for my first challenge over at Paper Creator's Crafts  today and we have a nice easy theme of Anything Goes to ease me in gently. I've used the Sail Away card kit for my card although I have added an extra paper layer from the Nitwits Ahoy captain kit which I already had but had never used.

The ship's wheels were a free Silhouette file from Cuttable.com and the sentiment is a Wellington Bear one.
Please nip over and join in with our challenge as there's a great prize and loads of brilliant products in the store

It must Bea Friday

A really quick card today the image is a pre-coloured one from Teddy Bo (TEDDYBEA_003) and the flower layer was cut from First Edition's paper with my Silhouette which I also used to cut the blue layer and the card blank.

New Whimsy Challenge - Anything Goes

We have a new challenge starting today at Whimsy Inspires and it's a nice easy theme of anything goes. I've tried something different here today and printed my paper directly onto my card then cut it out to form the card base on my Silhouette. Fortunately my printer and I were friends when I made this one.

I've used one of this month's new releases called Gardening by Lia Stampz and added a stamped sentiment that I've had for absolutely ages. The button is a Sizzix Die cut.

Roly Poly Penguin for Fairytale Friday

Paper: Craftwork Cards

Sentiment: Cuddly Buddly

Cardbase & Mats: Silhouette Cameo

We're using our older images at Teddy Bo at the moment as lets face it there are LOADS to play with. These penguin ones are particularly good as there's 6 in the set and the sale is still on

Old wedding Stamp

Hands up who has this really really old Anita's stamp? It's still great for effective wedding cards. I've cut the background here from My Minds Eye Bohemia paper using a background cut file from Birds Cards and just added some Meiflower pearls and a ribbon bow.

Bubby Bea

Card Base: Birds Cards

Paper: Dovecraft Tea House

Flowers: EK Success Retro Flower Punch

Sentiment: Crafter's Companion

Lickle Bear

Sometimes you just don't end up with the card you started off with. This was originally supposed to be a Teddy Bea card but I was having one of those days when nothing was coming out the printer the right size.

I printed this cute little Meljen's bear almost a year ago and finally coloured him during the week when I was throwing a hissy fit as the lawnmower wouldn't start (turns out you have to put petrol in the thing!).

The card base with the branch is from birdscards.com although I made my own flowers with my EK success punch and added a Whimsy sentiment.

I would like to enter this into Ready Teddy Go, Opus Gluei, Di's Digi Designs

Ikkle Church

This was always one of those stamps I meant to buy so I ordered it to put myself out of my misery it's by Dimension Stamps and the wonderful hearts background card is a free cutting file from Birds Cards with an insert from First Edition and a sentiment from Blonde Moments this was a doddle

Paper: My Minds Eye

Sentiment Stamp: Lili of the Valley

It's Friday again and we're now near to the end of the first week of the school holidays here in the UK - I'm not quite bankrupt yet but ask me again next week.

We have new images as well as a new challenge and a SALE so nip over to the challenge blog to check it out. I've used a really really old image today but with 3 little piggies you get 3 tags you can separate and then enlarge one to make a matching card.

Sentiment: Blonde Moments Stamp

Card Base & Mat - Silhouette Store

It's your last week to enter our Teddy Bo spring challenge before we have a new one and fabby new images next Tuesday. Yet again I've not managed a spring card although weddings are supposed to be a new start like spring are they not?????

Flowery Fussy and Fancy Fairytale Friday

Image: TEDDYBEA_259

Papers: Wild Rose Studio

Doily: Silhouette Cameo

Sentiment: Craftwork Cards

I don't normally combine my DT cards but thought this was just so perfect for the new Spring Theme Challenge over at Fussy and Fancy Friday which is the same theme as the 

 Teddy Bo challenge.As Bea is looking very cute and springy watering her tulips.

Peeking Cat

 I recently won a gift voucher for Stamp and Create and this stamp by High Hopes was one I chose although it did go in and out of my basket several times as I couldn't decide if I really wanted it or not and guess what it's the only one I've used so far!

As tall child also needed a gift box for a bracelet I used it again although I didn't have any scraps of the same Back to Basics paper left and wasn't cutting into a new sheet for a tiny strip so it doesn't quite match.

The mats, fence and the box were all cut on my Cameo - I love being able to cut just about anything in any size for the huge sum of 65p and only have to wait for it to download

New Challenge At Whimsy - Stitching

Our challenge for you this month at Whimsy Inspirations is to use stitching - I've used machine, hand and faux on my card but whatever you use its up to you - hop over to the blog to see what you could win.

For my card today I've used new images from Moon Cookie Gallery called Lexie and Sammie who are available separately or as part of the really cute Pets Set. I'e also used Moon Cookie Paper from the Neapolitan Dreams Set and a postage stamp from the Everyday Mini Postage Stamps Set

Tall Child has a birthday

Tall child was 13 yesterday - she picked out hot pink and cyan promarkers but said the image was up to me.
This one by Sassy Cheryl so reminds me of her when she was smaller although she still has the rabbit.
