Hello Baby!! Love You BEARY Much!

 
Isn't this the sweetest little bear?!!  And the best part is that I didn't even color it!!  This is the "colored" version of the *Wink*Wink Ink Button Bear digi image that has recently been released!  Melanie has TONS of new images she's came out with!! You need to go check them all out!!  (and what's really cool is that when you purchase one of her digital stamps, you get several different versions of it!!  This Button Bear actually comes in this blue color, pink color, a regular outline black image and a transparent style image for making paper piecing easy!!)  The only coloring I did add to button bear blue is the pink for his cheeks and a bit on his ears.  I used my white gel pen for highlights on his cheeks, but that's it!  Oh, I've also included some REAL buttons on his arm and leg joints!! :)  He's too cute, isn't he?!!  I thought it was just too easy to make a baby card, so I challenged myself to come up with a Valentine/love style creation with him.  I've been lucky enough to include this one with a couple of challenges:
Midnight Madness Sketch Challenge - MMSC39 - yummy heart sketch!
Creative Card Crew - Valentines
ISB Challenges - Love & Hearts
Papertake Weekly - Love Actually

  
And here's an adorable image that is fairly new from *Wink*Wink Ink as well.  This adorable image is called Moon Baby and I DID color it all in!! :)  For the moon, I even added some Shimmerz to make it shine a bit.  I also used some glitter on the star.  Oh so darling and I thought for a baby card, this would work for either gender just in case you want to make one and don't know which one will happen! :)   I've sponged the edges of the image panel around the edges a bit with some blue and then I used my yellow chalk to make a slight glow around the image...I thought it would be cool with the moon!  The sentiment comes from a Stampin' Up! stamp set as well as the punches I've used.  the starry background papers are from Basic Grey Oh Boy! package.  I had actually made this card last week and just now have the opportunity to post it.

Also.....DON'T FORGET about the *Wink*Wink Ink Design Team Call going on right now!!  You have plenty of time to still apply!! (The deadline is February 20th!)  And they're looking for FIVE crafters to work with these ADORABLE images!!  You can check out ALL of the details HERE or on Melanie's Blog if you want!!  So far, we've seen some really awesome crafters, but we'd LOVE to have lots more to choose from!  Could YOU be one of them?!  So if you think these images are as adorable as I do, then make something and apply!!  :) 

And sorry for posting again, but I will be "back on track" this week with my posting and will be posting once a day every morning for the most part!  I've just got all of these things created and need to get them posted!!  That's what happens when you don't have a computer and time on your hands!! LOL!!  And speaking of which, my computer is STILL running so slow!!  I will be trying my BEST to leave as much love around you all as I can, but I think my poor old computer says that it's had just about enough!! :(  I sure do appreciate you sticking with me through this and so glad that many of you understand...as you've had it happen to you too!!  Darn hackers!!!  But I sure do appreciate your comments and pleasant thoughts...I just wish the Internet wasn't so polluted with other junk out there so we can all do what we love to do without such hassles, but there always has to be SOMEONE to spoil the fun, eh?!

I'll see you all around tomorrow as I have another couple of fun creation to share with you!! :) Have a wonderful day friends!! HUGS
