Bear Hug

 Hello and a big welcome - so nice to see you!

Over at The Paper Shelter Challenge we have a new challenge and the theme this week is For The One You Love.

Here is my card:

I have used the super adorable Bear Hug which is available here.  I used the pre-coloured version but all Paper Shelter images come with a pre-coloured image, an image to colour in as well as a background paper - WOW!  Papers are from my stash by BoBunny.  The corners are an old Whimsy corner die set and the sentiment is a LOTV.

Over at The Paper Shelter Challenge we have a new challenge starting and the theme this week is New Beginnings.  Here is my card:

I have used the image Having A Good Time which is available here.  I chose to use the pre-coloured image but you also get one to colour yourself along with a backing paper.  I used Dienamics Fishtail Banner and a Martha Stewart punch.  The twine and button are from my stash and the papers are Prima.
