Teddy Bo Tuesday - New Challenge

Wow where does the time go? Can you believe its Tuesday already.
 Well I'm glad it is as we have a brilliant challenge for you today over at Teddy Bo's Challenge Blog   Now we have new Teamies playing for there 1st challenge today too, thats Karen, Louise and Sonia . Now their 1st challenge is to make a card that contains a gift i.e. tealights, choccy, gift card.


Now it took me a while to get my head around this one lol - but I ended up making a card which held tealights (TUT HERE) 

 I have used TEDDYBOBEA_132. I have used a scrapbook paper from Teresa Collins called Everyday moments. Its double sided and the inside is the yellow polka dots, so I have used that to mat and layer. I think I may have gone a little overboard with the buttons lol! I've coloured Teddy Bo and Bea in with Promarkers as the image was to little to do it with pencils. This is something I'm going to have a go at again - especially for Christmas I think!


We also have new images in store for you today here they are

Why not pop over to the Challenge Blog and see what the rest of the DT have made - absolutely amazing and inspirational projects I can tell you!

FairyTale Friday - Torch Bearers!

Woo Hoo! Friday has come around again :0)
Now I don't know about you but I'm getting a little bit excited at the thought of the Olympics starting soon. I live in West London and the torch will soon be passing through near to where I live, so when I saw this beautiful Teddy Bo and Bea carrying the torch I though I would make a scrapbook page to remember the day and once its happened I'll put the paper cutting on the page.

The papers are from Portobella Road as is the button stamp (still inkeeping with this weeks challenge over at Teddy Bo's Challenge) the Union Jack ribbon is from Hobbycraft and the little buttons are from Papermania. I have coloured the bears in with Pencil as I wanted a soft look to them for this page.

Now why not pop over to the Teddy Bo Challenge Blog and see what else has been going on in the Towers this week, and while your there see what the rest of the DT have made to inspire you too.
