Winter Bear Buddies

If you're looking for my Whimsy and Stars Studio Blog Hop post please click here.

A HUGE thank you to all my friends who have voted for me at Fashionista Challenge.  The voting is open through Saturday if you haven't had a chance to vote yet.  Here's the link.


     Being sick really stinks!  Trying to sit still and not talk so I don't cough does leave me with lots of crafty time though so here's a for fun card with another adorable Birdie Brown digi stamp from Torico.  I won her freebie challenge in October and picked out this pair.
     I used fun Dovecraft Christmas papers and added white embossing to the edge of the blue mat for a frosty winter look.  Thought it could use a little Stickles, Baker's Twine, and buttons too.  ☺

Here you go..... (_)P it's a little cup of chicken soup and \_/p this is a cup of warm green tea and honey! Feel BETTER soon. Nothings worse than a coughing fit when you're applying glitter or coloring.
I love your card Tracy! Congrats on the win, you picked the perfect images.
I had to laugh at your comment as to wether or not I'd had my IQ checked..LOL. Seeing as I steal most of your ideas..hee hee. ;)
