Have a Beary Merry Christmas!

Happy 2sday hens!! Are you gettin' ready for the BIG FEAST on Thursday??? Boy I am.... I've got the 'ol ELASTIC waistband pants all laid out, cuz I want lot's of room for the ever EXPANDING belly!! Bwah-ha-ha-ha-ha!! Oooooh man, there ain't nothin' like Thanksgiving dinner and then to top that off, ALL those PIES!! And you hens know how I am with my sweets!! Mmm-mmm!

We'll be gathering at my brother's house again this year! Yay!! We had such a great time last year. I just LOVE gettin' together with my family! We'll have to head home early though, so we can get LOTS of sleep so my daughter and I can get up early (try 1:00 am early!!) and get in on those Black Friday deals!! Now that's what I'm talkin' about!

Ok, enough about my plan of attack and let's get onto today's card. This card will be entered into the Card Patterns Sketch #91 challenge. Here's the sketch:


This little image called "Polar Bear Circle" is one of the few images I don't own from Stamping Bella. My sistah Paulabella sent me two of them in one of my many goodie packages from her. I know, I'm SO lucky to have a sistah like Paulabella!! Mwah!! I colored both images with my Copics and then cut one of the images out and adhered to the remaining image with a few dimensionals for a really cool 3D look. I cut the image out with my Circle Nestabilities and added it to the DP with a few dimensionals. This DP is from Cosmo Cricket's Mitten Weather collection and I stitched it onto the card base of SU Very Vanilla. To finish, I printed the sentiment and punched it out with my SU small oval punch and matted it with the coordinating DP punched with the SU large oval punch. I tied this pretty ribbon into a cute bubbly bow and there ya have it!! A BEARY MERRY CHRISTMAS card! Just a reminder, this week's Bellarific Friday theme is All White! That's everything white (or shades of) except for the image itself. This should be a super cool challenge! Just email your card to emily@stampingbella.com by Thursday evening. You might win some cool Bella Bucks!
