It's Thursday again......

I added eyelashes and some SICK (aka cool) eyeshadow.

Bear Diaper Cake

I just wanted to show you what I made for a baby shower that I went to recently.

I always wanted to make one but I never had a reason.   

I found the baby bear SVG file at My Scrap Chick.

 I made the bears different sizes to look like the  Mama, Papa, and Baby bears

and I made the "It's a boy title" myself using my Cricut.

I must admit that I saw the title idea on ETSY. 

(You can find GREAT inspiration on Etsy way better then Split Coast Stampers)

This was amazingly easy to make and I love the new color scheme for babies.

Brown and blue are beautiful together.  

Thanks for Looking and have a great day.

Challenges:
Just Scraps: fussy cutting
One Stop Craft Challenge: not a card

Fussy and Fancy Challenge: Mindy's sketch

Don't forget that Fussy and Fancy has a great challenge.

This challenge is to use Mindy's sketch:

Here's my example of Mindy's AWESOME sketch:

I won this little Ian from Joni "A Sticky Situation"  and never used it.   Thanks again Joni.

I made this for my son.  He loves Call of Duty and can't wait until Black Ops comes out in November.

Don't your love that little grenade? And the sentiment?  I made it with my Cricut and SCAL 2 program.  

BTW, my son loves it and wants it.  I told him he had to wait for his birthday.   Mean HUH?!

I also incorporate several challenges into this card. 

Cards for Men: Decoupage ( I stamped two images)

Craft your Passion: Anything Goes

Double Dutch: create your own printed paper (I made my own camouflage  background)  

Happy Friday!
