Just Cute Bears #12 ~ Pink and Brown

Aren't these new Teddy release from Bugaboo amazing? Here's the second one I have showcased this weekend. This is teddy with cupcake and the card has been made for the Just Cute Bears Challenge which is to use Pink and Brown as your colour scheme.

My Cuttlebug embossing folder has made a long awaited appearance! The inside has been decorated with matching panels to the front in the two shades of pink. You can just about see it here:

Beary Nice

I wanted to showcase some of the recently released Teddy images from Bugaboo and so looked at Just Cute Bears to see what their latest challenge was. The chosen theme was Buttons and Blooms. Well it had to be this teddy, didn't it!

Just look at the blooms he's holding. There's a great range in this digi set, well worth a look. The one with the cupcake is brilliant! I made this set of ATCs using some Elzybells (no longer trading though which is a shame) Chocolate Brownie Cardstock and co-ordinating buttons.

2 Projects, 2 Challenges, 1 SET

And there are bears everywhere!

My first project is for Just Cute Bears - Anything but a Square (with a tag). I've used this round jar and attached a tag to it. I found out that my friend was wearing a Red and Black apron to a BBQ I was going to and so made this jar as a gift (I abandoned the purple one I made the other day and remade it in Red and Black - plus I'd eaten most of the purple sweets anyway and they were good!)

I filled the jar with Red and Black Jelly Beans (red apple and liqorice flavour). I got these from Sugarcane. Apparently they have an online store opening soon. It's great because they have loads of sweets in different colours and you can pick up just the ones you want. Imagine how many mixed packets I'd have to buy to fill the jar with just red and black ones.

The second project is for Charisma Cardz who want Bears on the project. I made a matching notebook - or a BBQ Bible! I've made these before so decided to change it up a bit and add a pen holder to the side.

The image I've used is from the Butterfly Bear range from Bugaboo. And remember, there's 50% off the digis right now so there's no better time to buy. Being a digi means that you can alter the size which is great for making matching gifts.

And here's the two together:

Just Cute Bears Notebook

Here's another notebook I made. The theme at Just Cute Bears is Buttons and Bows and I used the sketch #61 from Card Patterns for the layout. It's clean and simple but I quite like it.

Just Cute Bears #12 ~ Flowers

This week's challenge at Just Cute Bears is FLOWERS. I've used the Butterfly Bear from Bugaboo and Digi papers from Pink Petticoat to create this card. I've been in a simple square matt and layer mood over the past couple of days (think it was when I did my Superhero card the other day that triggered the fad)
