CCC(15) - MY OWN THEME!! - CHRISTMAS TEDDY BEAR

Good morning everybody - thank you all for the comments made on my last few cards - forgot to mention it yesterday (my bad! - sorry I'm too old for this but what the heck does it mean by the way, I keep hearing it and I think I have used it in context but forgive me if not - ROFL).  I know I get worse but I'm allowed, I had a lovely birthday yesterday, did a bit of crafting, had some Chinese food and a glass of vino - happy days!  My birthday present came with batteries and is something I have wanted for ages so I am chuffed to bits - wahey!!!  I also had some lovely cards - two of them in shades of my favourite colour - lilac, so thank you girls

Well, this fortnight the CCC theme is 'Christmas Bears' and I haven't a clue why I chose this!  I do love bears though and it gave me a chance to use a stamp set from Personal Impressions (which I bought years ago!).  I didn't want to make a card for a child but I felt that if I used 'grown' up papers I could send it to a family with children!  There's no Wink of Stella on here either, just a smidge of Stardust Stickles on his pompom.

My dies came to the fore as usual, I do love my dies and will now refuse to say how many I have 'cos Ollie's Mam teases me ... just a tad!   

Ingredients

7" x 7" white card blank - Anna Marie Designs (not sure whether I have said before but these really are a great weight of card)
Teddy Bear cling stamp - Personal Impressions
Christmas Sentiment cling stamp - LOTV
Kraft Card for matting - Crafters Companion
Music and Word papers - Joyful Peace Pad from GCD Studios

I am quite pleased with how my Christmas Teddy card turned out - thank goodness!   It's also nice and flat for posting - yay!  

Thank you for visiting me today, and as usual I am really pleased if you have managed to leave a comment.  This is a scheduled post and I will be checking out the rest of the CCC cards later - I do hope there's a full-house, it really is great finding out what the other girls have made when you have picked the theme.

Lots of hugs to you all, I hope the weather stays as nice as it is today!
