Wishing You A Day Full of Happiness


Hi everyone, and hope you are having a great weekend.

I don't normally go much on pre-coloured images and toppers, but i thought I would buy a pack from the new LotV release (as well as my new paper pads!)  to have in "in case of emergencies" lol! 

I think this new pack of images of "James and Jenny bear" is just sooo cute (so cute in fact that I actually have the stamps for two of the images in there!!), so I decided to have a dabble. The one thing it didn't result in though is a "quick card", as I spent som uch time lovingly faffing about with my background and embellishments that the card took every bit as long as one normally does! 

Anyhow, this is what I made ...


Papers: Maja Designs;
Supplies: LotV topper from Art Pad 23 "James & Jenny Bear"; sentiment from Art pad 8 "Sentiments; pearls from The Hobby House; cheesecloth from The Ribbon Girl; ribbon, lace and large pearl brad from my stash;
Tools: "Floral ovals" nestabilities; Joycrafts butterfly die.


Challenges:


In The Pink #38 - Pink + 1 (pink + brown)
Bearly Mine - One For The Girls
Deep Ocean #72 - Just For A Girl (2nd entry)
ABC - G is for Girls
Dream Valley #76 - Vintage 
Creative Romance - Bingo (pink / lace / ribbon)
Corrosive #194 - Animals
Simon Says Wednesday - Anything Goes with Pearls (2nd entry)
Crafty Catz #220 - Anything Goes


That's all for today ...  back tomorrow with another of these cute bears ! :-)
Hugs,

I have been toying with the idea of getting one of the art pads and this one does have some super cute images in it. The pretty girly design is gorgeous and the lace and ribbon finish it off in style :-)
