My Time to Craft Challenge #241 - Bear(s)

Howdy friends!  Happy weekend to you!  I've had such a fun time this month making cards for the weekly challenges at My Time To Craft Challenges and would like to thank the lovely DT for having me as a guest designer and asking me to stay on.  So Awesome!

I took spring break vacation from work this week and have been spring cleaning as well as making some cards.  Are you ever absolutely amazed at what you collect over a period of time?  I thought I had done a pretty good clean out of my craft stuff about a year ago - but somehow I've either managed to completely replace it (hmmmm... wonder how that happened) or it has multiplied.  If I could just resist patterned paper that would be half the battle :o)

So, you are probably wondering why I made a Christmas card with the spring weather right around the corner (finally!).  Well...the MTTC Challenge #241 is to use a bear or bears on your creation.  I remembered that I had purchased this fun digital image from Your Next Stamp while ago and then didn't get around to using it right away. Plus...I love to make Christmas cards no matter what the weather :o).

It's been a while since I made a step card and I saw that the March challenge at Christmas Cards All Year Round is to make a Christmas themed step card, so I thought I'd give it a go.  I like how it turned out and I used up some of my paper stash in the process (bonus).

I'd also like to enter this card in Crafty Hazelnut's Christmas Challenge Extra - March Anything Goes and Completely Christmas Challenge #5 - Anything Goes.

The MTTC DT have made some really wonderful creations to share with and inspire you.  I hope you will go visit them and leave a little love.  And then promptly dash to your craft area and make something to share with us this week with a bear or bears on it for MTTC Challenge #241.

Thanks so much for stopping by to visit me today.  Til next time...hugs and  happy craftin'! D

    What an adorable card. The center step technique creates a really fun look and those silver trees are the perfect finishing touch. Thanks for playing with CHNCC2.

    Aw this is an adorable little bear image so cheerful and bright. The step card idea works really well too.
