Just a Cute Bear

A simple card for me today. Don't know what was wrong with me today but anything I did I just didn't like.. maybe it's because I'm a bit tired.. who wouldn't be after cleaning up the mess after the house painting!!! And we're not finished yet! Anyway... I then found me these handmade papers which I've had for years and well I finally liked it!!! .. hope you do :)



I coloured the cute teddy stamp, which was a freebie stamp from the Cardmaking and Papercraft Magazine last month, with my promarkers and the punch is a Martha Stewart.

Here are my challenges for my card..

1 - Just Cute Bears Challenge NO 23 - OPEN
2 - Digital Tuesday Challenge No 65 - SUMMERTIME
3 - Secret Crafter Saturday Challenge No 90 - WATER
4 - Kabooodle Blog Challenge No 34 - CELEBRATE SUMMER

Thank for looking today and don't forget to pop in tomorrow to see my first DT card for the OSAAT Challenge Blog and also my GDT Card for the Stamptacular Challenges :)

I'm so excited about this :)))

Cutie

Hi.. I'm back :) Sorry for the lack of postings this week, but we're so busy here.
OH took whole week off and is painting house and also refurbishing the kids' rooms as they have grown out of the Mickey Mouse they had plastered on their walls
.. and sooooo...
can't have me relaxing in my craft room or blogging while he is so busy, besides we got such a mess everywhere!!!
Did sneak off today though and made this card he he :)



The stamp I used today is Charley from the Giggles Gang at Cuddly Buddly Crafts, which I coloured with my promarkers. The border is Martha Stewart and the sentiment I did that on Word. For the swirls I decided to try something different so I cut little strips of green card and then curled them round a thin pencil!!! I think they came out quite nice :) Hope you like my card.

I'm back now with a card which I have just finished ...



I got the fab idea to do the apron shaped card from this month's Cardmaking and Papercraft magazine. I had Karen's Thrill of the Grill stamp already coloured and waiting for me to do a card with it and when I saw the apron card I immediately loved it and put the idea to good use ha ha :) Of course I added my touch and didn't do the card exactly as on the magazine! Hope you like it !!!

Well, that's all for today.
Thanks so much for looking
