Wild Orchid Crafts - Beary Special

This week over at Wild Orchid Crafts the challenge is Beary Special. So they would like to see a bear somewhere on your creation. So I thought this nurse holding the teddy bear was perfect not only for this challenge, but for my dear friend Pat Frank, who has recentely retired from being a Beary Special baby nurse. I could not have picked out a more perfect image for her. So Happy Retirement Pat!!! his ones for you !!!!! Let the Good times begin.

I also made a box for her... Hint taken Pat.. Now you have one all for yourself..lol

Mini Accordian File Folder

I was asked to participate in a WhipperSnapper image swap, I said that I would contribute 2 different images for the swap. The swap is for 10 + 2 so my total contribution is 24. Instead of doing the usual which is to put them into a clear baggie and mail them off to the person in charge of the swap, I decided to make it a little special for her since she is putting all her time and effort into it and put them in this mini accoridan file folder...I love doing these, they are so much fun. And it was perfect for the images since each pocket in the inside holds 4 images. The directions can be found
here
for the inside of the folder, I cut mine the same size of the cardboard just shaving a little off the ends, the measurements above call for the inside cover to be cut smaller
Here it is open

Simon Says Paper Piece

Can you believe after being absent for so long, I have been able to do 3 challenges this week. Believe me, I need all the relaxing I can get lately and boy does stamping help me relax.

This card was done for the Simon Says Challenge which is to paper piece. I used the same background paper for the glasses and inner tube of the shark, and then stamped it again on real red cutting out the polka dots and then paper pieced those onto the inner tube trying to pick up the red of the background of the fish bowl. It is also one of the few times I have combined my cricut and stamping onto a card. I also stippled the inside of the Fish Bowl to create some sand and water.

This adorable shark is from Whippersnapper Designs and I couldn't wait to ink him up. This card is intended for my son who will turn 19 on Tuesday. Do I really have a son who will be 19. Not sure if I will use it, or give it to my younger son to give him, but he doesn't feel his big brother deserves it.

Stamp: Whippersnapper - Shark, SU-Circle of Friends
Paper: Designer Paper from Anna Griffin Alix Collection, SU papers include Real Red Brillant Blue, and white
Ink: Momento Black Ink, SU-Brillant Blue, Soft Sky, Baja Breeze, Creamy Carmel

Just For You - Sketch Saturday #50

Not sure why, but I've been in animal mode lately, my last few cards have been cats and dogs. Hubby's birthday is at the end of the month, so I think I'll have my 15 year old give him this one, and make another one for my older son to give him. He'll be home for good next week as his 1st year of college comes to a close. Not sure if that is a blessing yet, but we'll see.
