CYP 95 - Beary Wishes - Crafty Sentiments

This week has been quite a challenge - that's why I am excited to see Monday come again... It's a new week! Time for a fresh start! Also time for another challenge at Craft Your Passion. This week we got a chance to work with some adorable images from our sponsor Crafty Sentiments - just too cute. Our theme is Beary Wishes - your project must have bears on it. I picked this cutie-patootie image with this sweet fuzzy bear sitting on a giant mushroom. I colored him with my Copics, and distressed the edges with sepia ink. Isn't he precious? I added a bunch of layers of My Minds Eye design papers, a hand-stitched zigzag border and a simple metal sentiment. It's truly a simple design, but it looks like I spent hours. I love that in a card!

Go dust off your bear stamps or hunt through your digi's and find that bear image - then create away and join us at Craft Your Passion Challenges. You'll be entered for a chance to win some great prizes, including images from Crafty Sentiments and a $10 voucher for Robins Nest.

I will be entering this card in the following challenges:

Thanks for stopping by. Here's hoping this week is better than the last!!!

CYP #81 - Crafty Sentiments - Use Kraft Paper

I can't believe another week has flown by... I've been so busy that my crafting time has taken a hit. I did enjoy having some craft time Friday night to work on this adorable image from Crafty Sentiments for our current challenge over at Craft Your Passion Challenges. It's an easy one this week - just use kraft paper on your project. Here I decided to try my hand at using my Prisma colored pencils on kraft paper again. I'm liking the results and feel like I am finally getting the hang of it a little bit. With some more practice I might actually use them more often.

So come join us at Craft Your Passion - it's a great challenge and a chance to win some fun prizes from a wonderful sponsor.

I would like to enter this card in the following challenges:
