Beary Special

Happy Tuesday! It's cold here. So cold that Indiana University closed for tomorrow. IU rarely closes. I can count on one hand how often they've closed in the 31 years we've been here. It's supposed to be -13 tomorrow morning without the wind chill. The twins won't be going to Head Start tomorrow so I won't have to go there either. I don't have a car right now so I couldn't go unless I took my DH to work and took his car. With those kinds of temperatures I am happy to stay home. I was home today and managed to get one card done along with catching up with things left from vacation. I have a ton of birthdays in February so I am trying to get a few ahead right now.

I actually used this weeks MFT sketch but it closed before I got it finished. I liked the sketch though so I really wanted to use it. Here's the details of the card:
Stamps: MFT Birthday Bear, the bear is popped up with foam tape
Dies: MFT Birthday Bear Coordinating dies, MFT Pierced Fishtail Flag Stax. MFT Stitched Circles
Embellishments: sequins from my stash with Glossy Accents to fill in.
Paper: MFT Sweet Celebration Paper Pack
Coloring: Spectrum Noir markers
The sentiment is heat embossed with white embossing powder. Here's the inside of the card.

I am entering these challenges:

• MFT Birthday Project: feature one or more presents
• Through the Craft Room Door: anything goes
• The Outlawz Twisted Thursday: anything goes with layers
• Crafty Friends challenge: animal/birds
• Crafty Cardmakers challenge: add some texture (layers, sequins with Glossy Accents, popped up image)

That's it for me tonight. I'm going to be staying inside and keeping warm by the fire. On Thursday I was supposed to help unload semis of Girl Scout cookies but that has also been canceled. We won;t have much of a warm up until Friday. If you are experiencing really cold or warm conditions please stay safe! Thanks for stopping by!
