The Crazies Bring Out Their Inner Teddy Bear

Apparently July 10th was Teddy Bear Picnic Day, so Frances challenged the Crazy4Challenges DT to create cards/projects with a teddy bear on them.

I used this retired Penny Black bear along with a Just Rite sentiment stamp to create my card.  I used a MS border punch on the red vertical panel, a corner rounder for the base, an SU oval punch for the sentiment, and a Spellbinder die for the image panel.  Two brads finished it off (and hid a dirty spot) along with some dry embossing.

Be sure to check out what should be a precious gallery at the Crazies Blog.

Going Red, White, and Blue with the Crazies

Frances is our hostess with the mostest for July.  This first week she gave the Crazy4Challenges DT  the color combo of red, white and blue.  You did not have to make a patriotic card...just use the color combo.  I have been gathering a stash of cards for a dear friend, so I went non-patriotic.

I apologize for my somewhat fuzzy picture.  It was just one of those days when the camera would not cooperate.  The sketch I used is one I saw a few years ago.....unfortunately I did not write down the name of the stamper.  If you recognize the sketch, thanks for the inspiration.

Be sure to visit the Crazies Blog to see our red, white and blue gallery of creations.
