Heart 2 Heart Challenge #3

I've already completed my entry for the Heart 2 Heart Challenge this week!!!  Woohoo for me!!  Well, I guess it isn't that impressive, considering I am home sick from work with no kiddo....if only I had every day off from work and my little busy bee....oh, the things I could accomplish! ;O)

This week's challenge was a sketch which is my favorite type of challenge.  They gave us a great sketch that was a good place to start, but then left a lot for your own interpretation.  I love it!

The only items used for my card that weren't from CTMH were the ribbon and buttons (their from JoAnns) and the corner rounder from EKSuccess to make the scalloped border.

I wanted to use up the last of my paper from my Miracle Kit (that's right the LAST of my kit-woohoo again, I never am this on top of things!!  I usually hoard it for months and then lose interest!!!) and it screamed baby boy to me.  I tried using a different "baby" stamp, but was drawn back to this bear from the retired Beary Much stamp set.  It's just the perfect size for a card.  I'd make smaller cards, but, they charge extra in postage for "non-standard" sizes and quite frankly, here in Alaska, we don't need to make up reasons to spend more on postage!!! ;O)

I have a couple layouts completed with the Miracle Kit that I will be posting over the next couple of days.  I love the colors in this kit and hope to see more like it in our future catalogs!
