Finally I sat down to work on a challenge card – I had intended to do it earlier in the week but the week is getting away from me.  I haven’t used my Build-A-Bear set recently so I decided to pull that out and make a card that fit two different challenges again.  First is the sketch challenge from the Card Positioning Blog and second the Late Night Stampers group challenge – which was to create a Valentine (I forgot about the masculine twist – so I’ll try to make a boy card to match it a little bit later).

The sketch looks like this

And here is my card – Bella my bear is showcasing it for you!

Stampin’ Up! Supplies used:

• Real Red card stock and ink and marker
• Chocolate Chip card stock and ink
• Very Vanilla card stock
• Close to Cocoa ink
• Creamy Carmel ink
• Sending Love Specialty Designer Series Paper
• Beary Best Friends stamp set
• Beary Nice Wishes stamp set
• I {Heart} Hearts stamp set
• Full Heart Punch

This also fits the Challenge on the Create with Connie & Julie class for this week.  If you are part of the class remember to leave a link to your Valentine creation on the Challenge post so you can have a chance to win a prize this week.  If you aren’t part of the class yet its not too late to join – Click Here for more details.  We have lots of great projects to share with you.
