Kathy

Being as I am now a Texan, I just had to use Cowgirl Bea!!

Isn't she just adorable!! I have distressed all the edges with

my scissors and then went over them with Vintage distress ink.

It was fun going grungy again! The papers are from Cosmo

Cricket's Wanted collection ~ perfect for a Cowgirl!

To top it off I threw in a couple rusty stars and a computer

generated Howdy Y'all in a font called: Bleeding Cowboy.

Bev

As soon as I saw Bea sat on her cloud I just had to colour her up - she is perfect for so many different types of card. Love her! She's been coloured with Copics and Prismacolor pencils. The papers are MME and all the embellies are from Wild Orchid Crafts.


Tab

For my card this week I have used Teddy Bea _117 and what a little sweetie she is too, such a pleasure to colour :o). I have coloured her in with Prisma Pencils, blended with Sansodor. The papers are from Raspberry Road Design - Shabby Rose. The flowers are all from Wild Orchid Craft, along with the metal corner, and the little metal things in the flowers. The pins, charm, pearls and brad are from The Hobby House. I have added copious amounts of stickles too :o)

Debbie

I've used Teddy Bea Topsy Turvy for my card this week and teamed her with Echo Park papers. The leaves are a Sizzix die cut and the flowers are Joy Craft daisy die cuts embossed with one of my cuttlebug folders.

Edna

I've chosen Teddybea 111 for my card this week and decided to go with a Christmas theme. The papers are KI Memories Holiday Collection 'Alpine Fashion', the snowflakes are Spellbinders Create a Flake 1 die cuts. I've coloured the image with Prisma pencils and used Art Institute glitter to give the stocking a bit of bling. The sentiment is from Lili of the Valley - a super selection of Christmas sayings and the kraft cardstock is from Stamping Up.

 

Ingredients:

Kraft cs

Lasting Impressions designer paper

Nellie's choice punches for flowers

Marianne design die cut swirls

Pearl brads

MS deep edge lace trim punch

Stamping Up scallop edge punch

And I had to give it a go with the gorgeous Bea 117 too, totally addicted to theese bears..

DP from Panduro and some unknown that I found hidden in a drawer..

Flowers from WOC and Kort og Godt, paperroll, some pearls and a charm. Rub ons from 7Gypsies.

Coloured with copics and added glitter


Colette

Like Kathy I have used Bea_118, but unlike Kathy I don't live in Texas or anywhere close, but I do have quite a few line-dancers in the family and thought this image was perfect for them. Bea is coloured in Photoshop and I have paper pieced (also in Photoshop) her boots, denim skirt, waistcoat, and bandanna, using papers from Raspberry Road's Barnyard Blowout kit. I also used papers from the same kit for the card. Lace, roses and red cord are from stash. I made the cowboy boot embellishment, and Bootscootin' sentiment in Photoshop too..... now Do-Si-Do and away we go! Yeehaw!!!

Angie

"As soon as i saw this image i wanted to

decoupage it so i made a little wall / door plaque for my craft room.

Coloured with Polychromos pencils and sansodor.

The papers are from Raspberry Road.

I have made the little crochet flower and put a wooden heart button on.

The sentiment is computer generated and i have inked 

round the edge with spun sugar distress ink.

Flourishes are made using a Marianne Creatables die.

Lace i bought off a car boot yesterday. Bargain!"

"Morning girls here's another card i made last night with one of the new releases.

I absolutely love this image so had to colour her right away.

The postie also delivered my order from Wild orchid crafts, oooh.. a box full of flowers

so i had to play.

The papers are from Raspberry Road, i tired not to use pink but

i don't know it always seems to sneak in somewhere.

Coloured her with polychromos pencils.

Also used a Nellie heart die.

seam binding and some Glitter glue. "

"I made these two cards with a touch of nostalgia. I love the new christmas images. I do not like green and red for christmas, but I love brown, red and cream for this special time :0)))

 I´ve used the sweet *Choralling Bea* and coloured the image with Prismacolor pencils. I like monochrome, and so I made the card in various shades of cream."

For my second card I´ve used the image *Under the mistletoe* and I also coloured the image with Prismacolor pencils. For this card I've chosen the colors red and brown."

"And lastly I have embellished a brown paper bag. I´ve used the image *Reindeer cuddles* and I have coloured the two cute guys with Prismacolor pencils. For the nose of the reindeer, I used Glossy accents. The papers I´ve used are from the paper stack *Noel* by Making Memories and cardstock by Bazill. I've decorated with buttons that I have sewn with string for packaging and also with staples.

and now something completely different....

(WOW....how impressed are you all...wait, there's more!!!)

Tammy

 Card & Gift Box

Not quite turned out the way I wanted it to. It's seems ages since I last made a card. 

I adore the papers so much - They are G.C.D Studio and called PARIS NIGHTS.

Honestly the quality is amazing - lush!!

Bea and her adorable poodle were printed on to Bristol board and coloured with poly pencils - blended with baby oil. 

The butterflies are Prima.

Box was a gift box which contained make-up. I never throw any thing away - if it can be altered - Tammy saves.

 All flowers are Wild Orchid Crafts - ribbon from stash - black gems in the corner.

I haven't yet placed a sentiment on - this will be added later.

"I just wanted to share with you, the Teddy Bo 'Di-Bo-Saur' image that is just too damn cute!! He has to be up there as one of my favs! (OMG, there are so many...LOL!) I have coloured him with Prismas and he will be posted on my blog as part of another challenge...of course spreading the joy of Teddy Bo ...LOL!"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Edna

"Well I managed to get a card done today afterall. I chose the same image as Heather - totally by accident but instead of being gentle and soft, mine is PINK! I've spritzed the image with Crafter's Companion iridescent spray and sparkle and the flowers with Marshmallow glimmer mist.

I seem to be in a pink phase at the mo - I'm sure folks will hope it's a passing one! LOL

Bea has been coloured with Liquid pearls - just the dress and hat, not the bear bits. It was a mistake but then if you don't try you'll never find out - it could have been brilliant. Ha, ha!"

Nela

Here is my first card with sunflower bea, but surely not the last!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Claire

I had to play with Sunflower Bea too!
The paper is a freebie from Raspberry Road and Kraft paper. I have coloured her with promarkers but I'm going to have a go with pencils later :0)

Antoinette

Made a box for my packets of seeding using the new sunflower Bea which seems to be a popular choice for the team, will become a defo fav with everyone else too.



Coloured Bea with Prismas and blended with Sansador and used sunflowers & papers from stash, and a dab of Stickles on Bea's pom poms.
