Claire the Tear Bear

Top O' the Mornin to ya! Today I get to be guest designer for Crafty Card Gallery again. I had a first this past week that I wanted to share with you all. I organized a get together for some local Facebook friends and one very talented member is Staci McD of Precious Memories Scrapbooking and More taught me to make a tear bear. I was so enamored with this technique that I named her Claire. I designed the card background and added a bow and necklace for her. A girl is all about the bling for sure! The embossing was done with my D'vine Swirls Cuttlebug folder. The shamrock was cut from Designer's calendar at 3/4". Here she is:

I definitely need to make more of these! Thank you for stopping by today and I will try to have one more project up my sleeve for you. Until next time......

Hey all!
I am so excited to be a Guest Designer on my friend Susan's blog!  I have created a layout based on my all time favorite Christmas song/movie. I chose "I'm Dreaming of a White Christmas", by Bing Crosby.  It HAS to be by Bing, no others will do! My grandpa LOVED Bing, and I guess it is just in my blood, because I have loved him since as far back as I can remember.  I experimented a lot with this LO.  I made tear bears, I don't usually do those, I used Stickles for the first time ever, and I think I may be addicted and I used this glittered spackle stuff for the snow.  I used patterns for the bears and the bed from Scraptastical Kreations . The eyes on my tear bears are from The Beary Scrap.  I made the snow~bear myself.  I think I am happy with it, but not quite sure! LOL Any and all input, good, bad or ugly, is always welcomed! :) Thanks for looking! Be sure you head on over to Susana's Scrappin' Corner and check out her blog and follow her too! She has amazing projects posted all the time! :)
