Day 2: The Letter B

I had a few hours to create yesterday so I got several cards done. Some I've already posted. Today Tom and I volunteer for a Girl Scout Camporee in the afternoon teaching the girls survival skills. Sunday we will have the twins most of the day, so my crafty time will be non-existent. Bummer. So if you saw my Day 1 post for Beccy's Month of Holiday Cards you know that I am dedicating this challenge to my grandson Arthur. Arthur's B words are "banana" and "booberry". He's a little fruit bat. I didn't use blueberries or bananas on my card, but I did use a bear and a bell.

So the bear image is Birthday Bear a free image from Beccy's Place. This bear has a cupcake in his hands and since I wanted to use him on my card I had to replace the cupcake with a bell for B. The bell image is from Silver Bell stamps set. I colored the images with Spectrum Noir markers then fussy cut each of them. I cut out the cupcake from the bear image and cut the arm of the bear further so I could extend the bell into the bear's arms. The sentiment is from Meljin's Designs (I wasn't able to find a link for Meljin anymore). The designer paper is from American Craft. The red ribbon is from my stash. I used a Stampin' Up! scalloped punch for the green polka-dot paper. I'm entering these challenges:

• Beccy's Month of Holiday Cards: Day 2: letter B (bear and bell)
• Catch the Bug: Stella's sketch 
  
• Crafty Hazelnut Christmas: anything goes
• 2 Crafty Critter Crazies: use a critter
• Simon Says Wednesday challenge: anything goes

So off to camp we go. I hope it warms up a bit or at least the sun comes out. Thanks for stopping by. Stop back again soon. Happy Saturday!
