Oh Happy Day, Congrats

Hi everyone,

Thanks for stopping by and for all your wonderful comments.  I'm honored to have you here and I truly appreciate each of you more than you know!

I created today's cards for friends who have recently become grandparents to a beautiful baby boy!  There are two cards because they were created before the little one was born.  Yes, the recently posted Hello, Baby... Girl and Baby... Boy cards were created at the same time and for the same reason.  Grin.

Here's the other version I had on stand by...

Inside both, before they were added to the cards...

Card: Sahara Sand and Whisper White
Ink: Sahara Sand, Crumb Cake, Early Espresso, Soft Sky and Pool Party (boy), Flirty Flamingo and Blushing Bride (girl)
Stamp sets: Baby Bear, Timeless Textures, and Thoughtful Banners
Tools and embellishments: Duet Banner punch
Adhesives: Tombow

Challenges...
#275 Super Scraps Saturday at HIMCR
#255 AAG at Pixie's Snippets Playground
#71 AG at Artbymiran
#224 AG at Brown Sugar Challenges
#97 Use a sentiment at Crafty Gals Corner

I'll be back on Friday with another creation, so I hope you'll join me then.

Irresistible Bear

Hi everyone,

Thanks for stopping by and for all your wonderful comments.  I'm honored to have you here and I truly appreciate each of you more than you know!

Yep, the bear is totally irresistible, but the title of today's post also refers to the Irresistibly Floral DSP I've used, and there's not a flower in sight!  Today's card is for my sister, Beth...

I'm sorry if you're getting fed up of seeing bear cards, but I've got a lot more to show you over the coming weeks.  Not only is the critter adorable, but so versatile too!

Card: Sweet Sugarplum, Irresistibly Yours DSP, and Whisper White
Ink: Sahara Sand, Crumb Cake, Early Espresso, Flirty Flamingo and Sweet Sugarplum
Stamp sets: Baby Bear and Thoughtful Banners
Tools and embellishments: Duet Banner Punch (used for the banners and to chomp the opposing corners)
Adhesives: Tombow

Challenges...
#250 AAG at Pixie's Snippets Playground
#270 Super Scraps Saturday at HIMCR
#250-251 AAG at Word Art Wednesday

I'll be back on Friday with another creation, so I hope you'll join me then.
