It's a Pirate Teddy!

It's new release Tuesday, at Catch The Bug! Are you ready for adorable! Check out the new release, Pirate Bear, that I have to show you! Don't you just love him!  For more creative goodness featuring this adorable little guy, check out New Release Tuesday at Catch The Bug!

Oh, Oh, and if you just can't resist snatching this cuteness up for yourself, he is available for purchase in the Bugaboo Stamps, store! Get him for your very own! You know you want to!

My card uses the new release image, Pirate bear, from Bugaboo Stamps, colored with Promarkers. All papers are from my stash.  I wanted to be different, so I stayed away from "Pirate" type colors or fall colors - And this is what I came up with. (Not bad from working from my stash of scraps!) I love how the houndstooth patterns and the strips go together, with those polka dots between them, for contrast. This is a clean and simple card, designed for the guys, so no frills or embellishments, just clean and simple!

Welcome to Holiday Chaos Day # 5 at Catch The Bug! I hope you have been playing along with us, every day! You haven't?!

Today is also Oldie But Goodie Thursday at Catch The Bug, so I'm using an older Bugaboo Stamps image to create my project today.

My favorite treat from our treat list, today, is Spiked Eggnog. For this treat, we've asked for projects using this recipe: Border Punch, Polka Dots, Glitter + Item of Choice - (Gemstones). I've used the image, Christmas Bear - Side Ornament, from Bugaboo Stamps, colored with Promarkers. This card is made completely of scraps from my stash! Can you beleive it?!  I did an easel card, since I haven't made one in awhile. I just love fancy fold cards, don't you? I used a fancy border punch from Martha Stewart across the bottom of the card in two places.  The green polka dot sheer ribbon bow is handmade by me. I used three green gemstones down the top right corner.  The sentiment is by Sentiments 4 you and is punched with oval and scalloped oval punches. I added glitter and sparkle to the fur on the hat on the teddy bear image.
