Smile Love Bear with Hearts card (Crafty Sentiments image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

I've been excited to colour up this cute little bear from Crafty Sentiments for a while now. It doesn't say Valentine but I don't think it needs to with the amount of hearts everywhere! I could use it for any occasion really though I'm thinking. 

I am entering this card into the following challenges:

A Gem of a Challenge - Have a heart

As you like it - Stitching - my favourite stitching is faux pas as I can use die cuts (sun and ground borders) with stitching much easier than getting out my sewing machine.

Crafty Sentiments - Anything goes

The Crazy Challenge - Love

Creatalicious - Anything goes with optional: love/anniversary/thinking of you  

Cute Card Thursday - Love 

Deep Ocean - Love is all around 

Simon Says Stamp (Mon) - Love is in the air 

Simon Says Stamp (Wed) - It must be love 
Southern Girls - 3 or more patterned papers

I hope you have a lovely weekend,

XOX Lucy

Sending you love card (Crafty Sentiments sentiment)

Hi Crafty Friends,

I made this card using a lot of products from my company, Flourish with a Bling. You can find the white Maddison flowers, the Jack green leaves and the Chloe pearl flourish on our website (they all come in a range of colours). 

This card was in Australian magazine, Love Cardmaking issue 10 along with 5 more of my cards. 

I printed out a Crafty Sentiments image/sentiment in green and then die cut it.

Bears need love too (Crafty Sentiments image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

Wow, my mind is either in the craft zone or it's completely gone!! At the moment I am in the zone so I hope you like what I'm creating :)

These little bears are just the cutest aren't they? You can find them at Crafty Sentiments.

The leaves have been cut from our Jack vine.
