Vintage teddy bear

 Hello Crafty Friends,

I have a few baby cards I need to make where the sex of the baby isnt known. So I thought this old teddy bear stamp I have would be perfect. I also wanted to use this sketch from Atlantic Hearts Sketch challenge

Here is my card. I used all retired products, oh and the eyelet bloom die, it was my first time, a bit tricky to get all the peices to pop out. 

Here is a close up. I coloured the teddy bear with copic markers, and you cant see it but there is some shimmer brush to the fur. 

And this is the sketch, pretty versitile dont you think?

I hope you will get some inspiration from my card, and play along with us. we love seeing all our cards.

Until we craft again.

and since I had some of the stuff out on my desk I made a few more cards....

Sketch #675

 Hello Crafty Friends, 

I am still playing with retired product for todays Sketch at Atlantic Hearts sketch challenge. Its such a perfect sketch for using up scrap papers which I have a lot of when using 6x6 designer series paper. 

Here is my card...

And this is the sketch...

And for fun, this is a card I made quite some time ago that is similar and thought it might provide some further inspiration. 

I hope you will join us and link up your card/layout. We love to see all the creative ideas.

Until we craft again.

Darling Dino's

 Hello Crafty Friends,

I borrowed the Darling dino's stamp and die set from a friend as it is now retired and i have been making a bunch of kids cards. I was looking for inspiration and over at TGIF challenges they have a one sheet wonder challenge! So i went to you tube and found this template for a 6x6 DSP and the rest is history so to speak. 

Here are the four cards I made....

here is the template I used...

Thank you for the fun challenge! And what a great way to use up some items in my stash!

Hope you get inspired and have time to craft.
