Polar Bear Christmas

Hello Crafting friends.  

Happy Thanksgiving Week.  

I wanted to get one more card out before

the business of the week sets in.  

My table needs to get cleaned off, and I 

apparently just can't snap my fingers,

or wiggle my nose for it to happen.  

So going to have to devote this 

evening and tomorrow for tidying up the house. 

Thankful to have a home to tidy. 

I made this card for the challenge at:

Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge

The stamp sets featured in this card are:

Stampin UP:  Good Greetings, Brightly Lit Christmas

Beary Cute, Tidings & Trimmings 

The most difficult part of this card was 

of course the cutting of the DSP.  I am not good

with a ruler, but I eyeballed it up and got it to go.

I chose two DSP and then the other I embossed with

a brick folder and sponged gray over the top so it would

go with the snowflakes, and birch trees.  

I stamped the images, colored and cut them out.

I had to shorten up the lamp post it was much longer 

then I remembered.  I really like how the little bear

sits with the sentiment perfectly in place.

After the turkey coasters I decided to pull out the 

macramé cord and made this odd little ornament, 

realizing the ring I used was gigantic after the fact 

of making the whole darn tree.  

So I snipped it off, and of course 

there were a lot of lose ends but I

did the best I could to tie it all

together at the top.  

I think the wreath top looks so

nice by itself, I might make more

of those for Christmas gift topper/tags.  

I couldn't forget to share a picture of 

this little rascal.  He is always flopping

on his bed in the most unusual ways. 

Makes me smile.  He will also move his

bed to where he wants it.  

The verse I chose for this card is:

1Thessalonians 5:21

Prove all things; hold fast that which is good.

 Thank you for stopping by for a visit.

Keep Smiling and Keep Stamping
