Birthday Bear!!

...After the good news that I had won a challenge today, it inspired me to take some time (away from my gift wrapping), to work on fun card.  I had already decided I wanted to create a card for the new challenge over at Crafty Catz and their challenge this week was to create a Birthday Bear card! 

   I also knew that I had the perfect digi image in mind and it's a brand new little Bear I bought, just yesterday from StampFairy.  This cute little guy is Lenny and he's was designed as a New Year's bear, but I thought right away that he would also make a fun Birthday Card and that's exactly what I did with him. 

   I printed him out and began by coloring him with my Copics.   I think he looks like he's blowing a kiss...or thinking 'oops'....but however you look at him, he's adorable.  Once he was colored I found a cute digi sentiment and used a Spellbinder die to cut out both.  I then simply picked out some matching cardstock and paper and put together this sweet little card.


    And this is another view and me again playing with Photoscape to see what fun things I can do with my photos.  LOL!

    My sweet little Birthday Card is also being submitted to these fun new challenges, which are ope to ALL!!
    And while I was at I decided to enter a few more challenges with one of my latest Christmas Cards. This next card also features another cute bear from StampFairy and this is one of the cards I will be mailing out on Monday morning!  I am very happy to have finished up my cards for this year and have them now all ready to GO!    Woohoo!  One more task is done!


  This card is being submitted to these new challenges and again, they are open to all, so please join me, take a little break from your Holiday preparation and have some fun!!  :)

    And I think that will be more than enough to keep me busy for the next hour!  I want to thank everyone for visiting my blog and to also take a moment to wish you all a wonderful Holiday Season.  May it be full of lots of Love and Special moments with friends and family!!

Hey Lisa! Both of these bear cards are adorable! Great job all around!
Thanks for your kind words about my birthday! For some reason, this one didn't bother me a bit---50 did, but not 60! I'm just happy to be alive! LOL!
How are you feeling?

A Little About Me

My photo
Northeastern, Massachusetts, United States
Purple is my favorite color and ironically - Purple is the Awareness Ribbon color for Fibromyalgia, a chronic illness I lived with for over 18 years. In, March of 2015, I was diagnosed with Stage IV Lung Cancer which had spread to my brain. I am fighting hard to win this battle and determined to beat it. I have a amazing Oncology Team, along with the LOVE and SUPPORT of all my family and friends! I am a Mom to two grown sons, Alex is now 25 and married to Acacia, my wonderful new "Daughter" and the parents to my precious Grand-Daughter Harper, and Brian amazingly is 30 and now lives in San Diego. My boys are the greatest loves of my life. Hubby, me and our two "Pups", Skye and Zeva, two adorable Chiweenies we rescued in 2012, all live very happily in a tiny coastal town in Massachusetts. We lost our dear "Scoutie", a Purebred Dachshund, in April of 2015. I still miss him and will forever cherish his memory. I am an avid card-maker and totally love every minute I can spend in my craft room. It's become my passion, a wonderful way to relax and is my form or "therapy".
