With Love



When I saw the Inspired By Challenge this week, I HAD to play. I am late to the party with my acquisition of the Essentials By Ellen Bear Ware Collection, but now I will be using them like crazy as I finally have them all. Thanks to my enabler - she knows who she is! I hand drew the collar and cuffs of Bear's sweater. and gave them a little sparkle with WOS. If you look closely at his sweater, you can see a herringbone pattern that I added with some masking and a stamp from PTI's Background Basics Herringbone. The stripes he is standing on are from PTI's Background Basics Super Stripes. I have had both these sets for years. I am using my NBUS - Never Before Used Schtuff! This is a Valentine for my coffee-loving son. He will love it.

I am also playing at:

This is so cute. Perfect to use the polar bear with these colors. I also have these stamps but haven’t used them. You’ve inspired me! Thanks for joining us this week at CC&S!

I'm in love with your adorable bear Stephanie! His rosy cheeks, his cosy jumper and his coffee are all gorgeous details. I love the way you grounded him with those stripes too. Thank you for coming to play at CC&S this week :) Vicky x

If it is me of whom you speak, you're very welcome - and yet, I STILL don't have the original set in my own stash!! I borrow my friend's stamp every chance I get - which is now next to never since she's moved to Ohio!! LOL
Stephanie, EBE Bear has never looked this dapper... love it!
The hat, the stripes, and how you've dressed him in his sweater! Thanks so very much, my friend, for joining the IB156 challenge!

You'll never regret getting all those adorable bears and you knocked the challenges out of the park with it, Stephanie! I love the schparkle and how you used all your products so cleverly to dress him and give him something to stand on. Yes, your son will love it! Thank you for sharing with everyone at NBUS! Take care and keep safe! Hugs, Darnell
