"Cute & Cuddly" Challenge #48

at Wee Memories this week. Sorry that I couldn't make any cards for a while after Japan's devastating earthquake, but I'd been wanting to use this Lawn Fawn stamp set ever since!! I planned to finish the card & post it yesterday but we had Tornado warning & hails, I couldn't do it, and instead, I posted about that...I'm really tired from these Mother Nature's Fury and I still can't really concentrate on creating things, like BEFORE the earthquake hit, but these "Critters" from Lawn Fawn make me smile everytime I play with them :-) I'm planning to make Many More Cards with these critter sets! :-) And the sentiment is a stamp from old time... "the Boyds Collection" ! I thought of spring for this scene, and wanted to use the Winter Critter/polar bear for Spring, and thought the sentiment is perfect, with bear in dark brown! :-) I used dimentional adhesive here & there, paper piecing here & there. I made the tree, adhering the top of each layer with regular glue and used dimentional adhesive to give an interesting look on the 2 bottom layers of the leaves of tree. Today, it's cooold again. It was like 65F yesterday, and this morning, it snowed! I'm Really Really Ready for Spring!! :-) ps. I'm sorry that I haven't really commented on your blogs... the disaster was too big for me to take...
