Fred Bear - Snow Bear - PSC59

Happy Wednesday!  Can you believe we are winding down the year over at Perfect Sentiments Challenge and this will be the last blog post for 2012.  I am so looking forward to the new year and new things - new stamps, new digi images, new paper, new layouts, new challenges.  It's going to be great!

Today's theme for this last 2012 challenge is Anything Goes With Christmas!  So you can make anything you want as long as it has a Christmas theme and Sentiment (on the front of the card).  Our delightful sponsor this week is Shelly's Images and Shelly will give our lucky random winner a free digi of her choice.

 

 This was a perfect challenge for me since I'm still working on my Christmas cards, but hope to get them written up and ready for mailing tomorrow night.  Here is what I came up with this week.

This is Fred Bear from My Favorite Things.  Isn't he so cute and having such a good time outside building his own Snowman Bear. 
Materials Used:

• Image - My Favorite Things - Fred Bear-Snow Bear
• Sentiment - From my stash
• Cardstock - Stampin Up - Brocade Blue; Cherry Cobbler; Xpress It Blending Card
• Design Paper - From my stash
• Flowers  and Leaf - Prima
• Accessories:  Nestabilities Large Oval Die to cut out the image and then I used my Magic Matter to make an even larger mat for the image to rest on. The rest of the accessories are all from my stash - ribbon, lace, hat pin, snowflake charm, baker's twine, and gold glitter brad.  I also used some Frosted Lace Stickles on the snowflakes coming down.

That's it!  Pretty simple this week.  I hope to have some more blog posts before the end of the year, but I'll take time for now to wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
