Can I get a great big AWE!

 Baby Bear Hugs

supplies: Baby bear hugs set, bashful blue, white-chocolate-spring moss- sweet blush & berry sorbet cardstock (bypapertrey ink), wide ribbon by Strano, clear button by foo-fa-la, copic markers, white singlo gel pen, ribbon by Martha Stewart

That is what I said when I saw the newest set Bear Hugs by Christine from All That Scraps.

Then again when I finished this card.

Christine is releasing 4 new sets on the 11th. Over the next few days you will get to pre-view more samples for these sets HERE! As well as enter to win a free set, so check it out.

So when I saw this UBER adorable bear (I love cutesy bears but have never found the perfect cutesy bear till Christine’s sets) I thought “she” looked so sad. All I could picture was a baby bear, dragging along her “blankie”. How wouldn’t want to hug her.

I have many of these large and wide ribbons that often go un-used because of their width, which is a shame since they are just so pretty. So I took the opportunity to use my wide ribbon, and some redline tape to create this blankie!

Then, go from the design of the ribbon I created my own bkgd paper, just using scraps of papers I have in my bin. I added the button for that super baby feel. I adore the layout of this too. The little flower in the corner is an altered clear button, using another set being released.

Now we have another sample.

No bear set can be complete without bee’s!

 Cute as can bee

supplies-bear hugs set, barely banana, basic black, circle punches, velvet brads by doodlebug, flowers by bazzill, copic markers, 2 way glue pen, dazzling diamonds glitter

Look at this chubby wubby bee face! How flippin cute is he? You cannot tell but the wings have glitter on them (of course). I went with the bee stripes to be inspired for my design. Its clean and simply detailed- I love it.

The flowers are by Bazzill, and the brads are fuzzy velvet brads. This just came together so easily.

Make sure you check out all the peeks!

Now how about that MFT release party? Did you go? Did you get anything? I shared a few peeks there, and will post them later today, or tomorrow.

Thanks for the love on my blog for my new look! Im so happy about it.

Be back later for the blog candy winner!!
