Cute Card Thursday #47 and Friday Sketchers #39


This card was done for three challenges to start. The Cute Card Thursday challenge was a dance/music theme and the little ballerina bear I thought would work great for that, and the Friday Sketchers sketch worked out perfectly with it. The third challenge was for ?? ( I hate it when I can't remember) but anyway it was to use pink. The bear actually started pink but I couldn't find any paper I really liked with her then when I found this Karen Foster paper I had I had to change the colors on the bear to match. The flower on the bottom was colored with marker to match the bear and the papers. I loved this paper so I had to make a pen to match.

I just love these bears!!

They are not on cards yet, but I just could not wait to post these. I just love these little teddy bears. I will post the finished cards later this week when I get them done but for now here are:



Cheerleader bear. (I was in such a hurry to scan these I forgot this one is not finished. She has a CT on her chest and I wanted her to go with our school colors and name so I colored it in the same as her shirt and am going to try to put an RV over it)



Little girl bear


little boy with train



These would look a lot nicer if they were colored with Copics or watercolor pencils or anything other than the Bic Mark its that were used, lol. But I still like them and can't wait to get the cards finished for them.

Geico

No, I haven't switched car insurance and I am not trying to talk you into it. I was sitting on the couch the other day watching tv while my darling little dd played with her toys on the floor. My dh sees her playing and gets up, walks over to her and a few minutes later I look over to see this.....



Apparently the mister potato head eyeballs reminded him of the Geico commercials with the money, lol. As soon as I saw it I burst out laughing and knew I had to get a picture of that to use as my 365 Days project picture. I really do need to quit saying 365 days project since I really didn't start it until Feb 1st instead of Jan 1st.

Friday Sketchers #37 and Cupcake Craft #24 Card

Well, it's not the cutest card I have made but my Birthday Card stash is greatly depleted and I have several upcoming birthdays this month. I made two of these cards tonight and along with increasing my card stash I was able to get two challenges I wanted to participate in done! The Friday Sketchers #37 sketch and the Cupcake Craft Challenges #24!
**edited to add I forgot about the Stamp Something Challenge. I knew there had been another one I wanted to use this for. It was the reason for picking the Ice Cream Cone stamp to begin with but It took me awhile to remember what site the challenge was from. Another duh moment, but it has passed now, hehe.

,

For the 3-2-1 Challenge you had to use 3 pieces of cardstock, 2 embellishments and 1 piece of ribbon. I really should re-take the picture tomorrow. It's after 2 am and i just can not find the right lighting. The pink cardstock is Bazzill bling and with the doodlebug glitter on the Ice cream cones (doodlebug stamp) it really looks much cuter in person than in the photo.
