I just adore this BIG bear, he looks so cuddly and fun doesn't he? Just another cute bear for the Cute Bear Challenge!
The image is a Penny Black image, cupic bear. All I did is stamp it with momento on cream cardstock, colored it with my copics and added the sentiment. Done! I hope that you will stop back again soon! 
Today's post is short- wanted to make an appearance but a busy busy weekend in store. I hope you all have a good weekend. 
Yeah, today is short but hey, I did post! :) And thanks for stopping in! 
Of course over on the Verve Parade for this month the challenge is to make items that reflect our heroes (is that spelled right?). The dSP came out of one of my K&Co paper books, the stamps is SU from a few years ago. I love it and like to leave it simple in black or brown. 
This card I used the LOTV sketch challenge with my October Afternoon paper pack, which is also a "love" of mine. So scrumptuous.... don't you think?
So I used that wonderful Nestabilities label (funny story, I almost bought it the other day- only to find it tonight in my storage, I had forgotten that I bought it a couple months ago! ) and the rest is SU cardstock. Not sure about the DSP- a friend gave me the paper. This is really cute in person and easy to throw in the mail to a friend! 
I got this wonderful stamp from my friend Karen for the holidays and thought I would put him to use, plus, hey- it is good to get your holiday cards started early right? See the tag sentiment? Well that is one of Tim Holtz newest stamps- I got them in the mail today! I love them. 
So today's card is another one I am doing for the Verve Project Parade. I just love this sentiment and what an honor for someone to receive this- I think that you could truly send this to your HERO, don't you? All the cardstock is SU. 
The DSP is beautiful isn't it? I love the blues..... I hardly ever use blue ;and now I wonder why? Added a little old olive and some sweet little PTI buttons.
Have a fabulous Day! 
Isn't this the sweetest bear? I got this as a gift in a swap that I am in (thank you Kelly!). It is my very first LOTV stamp and I just love him. He reminds me of my son's very first teddy bear. Anyways, it has been a long time since I used my copics so I did use them to color this image. The sketch is the Mojo Monday sketch for this first week of July and as always- Julee has done another beauty! The DSP is Stampin Up as are all the cardstocks. Some of the new yummy colors (pear, tangerine). 
Ok, off I go- busy week. 
Did you all see the beautiful bookmark tutorial on SCS this last week? I saw it and knew it was something that I had to give a try. And it was so easy! I am thinking that I am going to make them in a class upcoming. 
But notice, the DSP and the stampin up set is the same that I used for the sympathy card that I posted the other day. And imagine, it is a fun and "happy" thing! Imagine that! If you've not checked them out- hop over and start making some fun gifts!
Now I am laughing because my mind went blank on the SU set that I used and the cardstock! Oh it is basic grey cardstock........... dang, maybe too much sun this weekend or something. Either way- I hope it gives you some inspiration to make a sympathy card. 
I hope you are all having a fabulous weekend and wishing you and your family a fun and safe 4th of July! Saturday was wonderful weather, got some sun, did a few chores and did some crafting! Our weekend is FREE............ kind of makes sense doesn't it, a weekend to do whatever we want to do and beautiful weather forcasted! A day to remember all of those men and women over seas right now..... bless them all! 
I also love the sentiment that I got from the Verve set....... I just wish I had NOT stamped the black butterlfy and instead replaced it with a punch. I know it is short today but I am trying to keep up and so today is just short. But thanks again!
