Christmas card with Barry Bear

Hello again!

This is my second post this morning and here's the Christmas card

I said I would share when I got a photo of it :)

 

 

 I love kraft and white together for Christmas along with traditional red and green.

So for this card I stamped white dots on the base card and added strips of patterned paper then tied satin ribbon around the top and finished with a snowflake button.

 

This little teddy is a digi from The Stamp Fairy and he is actually standing beside a birdhouse but for this card I cut it off.  I love this wee image so much you'll be seeing more cards with him soon!

He is coloured with Copics and raised with foam pads.

I added Stickles 'star dust' to his hat and bobble on the top.

 

 

It's a beautiful morning here today and my Mum

very kindly came over to help me with the housework

and then took away a big basket of ironing to do, just so I can get my DT projects finished.

Isn't she lovely!

 

That's it for me today, it's been lovely to have you vist :)

See you tomorrow

Take care,

Sarah xx

My handmade teddy bear!

Hello again!

Oh boy a week does fly by, doesn't it!

With the children off school for Easter, I haven't had a lot of time to craft or catch up with what everyone else is up to, so I do apologise for my lack of commenting.

On my last post I said I was going to a sewing retreat to make a teddy bear.

Well here she is.....

unfortunately she's naked as I haven't her clothes finished yet!

 Although it's hard to tell from the photo, she measures 34 inches long!

I'm not sure about her expression here...

Her arms are sewn in one complete strip and wrapped across her back.

I added one of my little handmade labels before sewing the arms on.

a little peek of her dress...

I have to finish sewing her bloomers, jacket and hat

and then I'll post the finished pics.

We had some wonderful news yesterday :)

My brother and sister in law in Australia welcomed their new baby girl to the family.

They called her Hannah :)

Well, that's it for today!

Thank you so much for visiting

and I'll be back tomorrow

with my scrapbook page for the new challenge at Creative Craft World.

It's a fab sketch this month!

Take care :)
