Just Cute Bears Challenge
Just Cute Bears Challenge, Pink and Brown 29/8 I've found the most gorgeous, cute blog thats all about bears...YAY. I love teddies and when I saw the colour theme for this challenge I just had to give it a go. I very rarely mix colours and so this one was something of a different nature for me. But I am very happy with the result.....I hope you are too.

Christmas Challenges
Having had a great start to my challenge entering I've decided to have another go...this time using a fantabulous little image from Sew Many Cards, thank you Jeri.
The Challenge this week is Sew Many Challenges #23 'Christmas in August'.
I've also had a go at sewing on card using the little provo craft sewing machine my hubby bought me a few years back. Its another of those items we buy and put to one side promising to use it, but then we never do. After seeing the gorgeous creations on Sew Many Cards I decided to dust off the box, get out the machine and blooming well have a go!!!! AND...it worked. I actually expected the battery to be dead but it wasn't. It took a few attempts but then it came together. Thanks SMC for the inspiration.

First Ever Challenge Entries
I'm going to have a go at entering challenges with my cards. This is the first card I've done for them and there are three I can enter having followed the themes. Digital Tuesday Challenge 72 'Scraps' - Sew Many Challenges 20 'Stitching' - ABC Challenge 'B is for Blue' - Totally Gorguss 'Star' #44 'Star'
Using up scraps of paper is something I recently started a discussion about as my tray was piling up. So taking this theme in hand I used three different strips of paper and cut 3 squares and made them into a patchwork effect. I then drew faux stitching round every square and the main card, plus he has stitching on his clothes. The image is from SJs Little Musings 'Archie' a favourite of mine at the moment. I also used scraps of card and ribbon for the sentiment, and punched the stars from another scrap. Fortunately the colours were all in the blue range.
He is Scrappy Boy!! The attempt was to make him look as though he's been out playing around, a bit scrappy and muddy in places.
