Teddy Bo Tuesday

A very good morning to you today...I hope that this Teddy Bo Tuesday finds you well!??!
 
Winter is definitely making it's presence felt here in Scotland.....if it's not the rain, it's the wind, or the ice....not long now until our first proper fall of snow.  We've been very fortunate though as the two girls we had as guest designers have agreed to stay on with us so Teddy Bo Towers is filling up again nicely.
 
SO..what's new in the store this week!?!?!
 
Well...not only have we got new graphics but Gayle has also been busy with some other crafting materials and has made some polymer Bos and Beas...they are now available to order in the store and you can choose from over 500+ designs, you just nominate what style you want and in what colours and Gayle will hand make your bear from scratch...they are NOT made from molds, Gayle makes the armature and then builds the bear up round this 'skeleton'.  She's also putting the finishing touches to some plush collectable versions of Bo...with Bea to follow soon.......hopefully they will be available to view in the next couple of weeks.

I have used Teddybea-249 and coloured her with promakers, I have added the sentiment in Craft Artist (somehow!) and layered her up onto embossed card that I have used Snowman folder on, I have then just inked round the edge with Gathered Twigs from Tim Holtz - I have simply added a bit of string and placed on a kraft card blank.

Teddy Bo Tuesday

Goooood Morning everyone.....and here's to another Teddy Bo Tuesday!!

Only 5 left to go before Christmas...things are getting a bit hectic here....there's a mad rush to get all the Christmas cards finished...with one or two of us (Gayle) not even started!!!  We hope that you're managing to get organised without too much panic?!

SO...as it's Teddy Bo Tuesday we have some new releases......now, we appear to have gone snowman mad.....and there really hasn't been a big snowfall yet up here in Scotland to get so excited but they appear to have taken over Teddy Bo Towers.  So not only do we have Bo and Bea as actual snowbears...but all The Snowies have also been re-drawn as line art. 

So, let's see what's new this week

 

 

Of course...with all these new goodies the girls couldn't wait to get on with their Christmas card making......
