Baby Bear

I have found a couple of new blogs for challenges, and I am having so much fun thinking of ways to incorporate two or three challenges together in the little spare time I have.

My good friend and I had our first babies together an hour apart on the same day- and they are quite the couple! It has created such a string bond between us and our children. She has now had her second baby and I can't wait to meet him once my two boys have gotten over the flu.

A special friend ( and a special baby!) needed a special card. As usual, I turned to the web to see how I could be inspired.

One of my new favourites is Dynamic Duos. This week their colours were perfect for a baby card!

I am also playing along with another new find, Mojo Monday, and their sketch.

 

 

Lastly, I am linking up to An Inky Situation. How could I resist that teddy bear?

 

 

Here is my card based on the three challenges.

 

This was my first time doing punch art, and I can't decide if the teddy bear looks cute or slightly creepy! It was also my first try at using alphabet stamps.
