I have used TEDDYBEA_208 for my confetti box, she has been coloured with pencils and then layered on top of a frame which I cut on my Silhouette, I have added a feather and 3 roses cut from the same scrapbook paper. Bea's flowers have glaze on them and her hat has lots of stickles. 

I have also had a little play with Sammy Spaceman who is one of the FairyD releases this week. I have coloured him with Promarkers and layered him onto black card, where I have doodled the border and stars, which have pearls in the middle of them. The Moon is tin foil which I used my 2" punch to make and the grass is co-ordinations paper which I have torn.

Gooood Morning everyone.....so glad to share this gorgeous Tuesday morning with you all.  May I take this time please to thank you for all the good wishes I have received since I last posted about my father's operation....I'm DELIGHTED to say that he is home (much earlier than we expected him to be) and is feeling fantastic (you'd NEVER guess he'd had major surgery less than two weeks ago)...I'm very fortunate to have such a positive role model in my father and I know that his attitude is what has increased his recovery rate...long may it continue...xxxxx

I have made a card to hold 4 tealights using TeddyBoBea_132, I hadn't tried this before but it was really easy to do!  I have used a scrapbook paper from Teresa Collins called Everyday moments. It's double sided and the inside is the yellow polka dots, so I have used that to mat and layer. I think I may have gone a little overboard with the buttons lol! I've coloured Teddy Bo and Bea in with Promarker.

Teddy Bo Tuesday

Good Morning to you all.  We've had the most beautiful weekend here at Teddy Bo Towers...and by the sounds of it so did lots of other people!!  I hope you enjoyed your weekend and it set you up for the rest of the week.

Thank you so much for all the entries to our challenge/DT call.  The decision  is SOOO hard that we've not got the final winners yet...so please check back later for that announcement!!!

Ladies and Gents, I don't normally 'share' an awful lot of myself on the blog.....can I take this time please to ask for your prayers this week.  We discovered some weeks ago that my Dad has cancer and he goes in to hospital today to have an operation (tomorrow) to have his Oesophagus cut away and part of his lungs too.  You would never know that he's not well....infact, if it wasn't for a wee bit of indigestion we would never have known!!!  Anyway.....my wee daddy is very precious to me and I would be eternally grateful if you could give a wee prayer up for him and my mum that everything goes okay tomorrow and that his recovery (up to one year) is a simple process.....thank you....xxxx

Tammy (Kizzy Designs) also went through her second operation (this year) yesterday...please keep her in your thoughts too.....xxxxxxx

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

SO........as it's Teddy Bo Tuesday we have some new graphics..x
This week's new releases

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Our new challenge will start today.

As we will be celebrating the Queen's Diamond Jubilee here in the UK over the weekend we thought that

Red, White, Blue and lots of bling!
would be the perfect theme for our challenge.
We would love for you to play along with us, so add your entries to Mr Linky in the sidebar by
Sunday 10th June Midnight (GMT)

our prize this week is

Five digi graphics of your choice for the overall winner.

Over the Jubilee weekend a few of us girls are getting together with our families at a big park we have near us, to have a picnic. To mark the occasion I thought I'd use Teddy Bo and Bea on a scrapbook page. All I need to do is add a photo of us all together at the bottom and add a little journalling.

Teddy Bo Tuesday...mid challenge reminder

Good Morning to you all and welcome to another Teddy Bo Tuesday.  As we're 'mid-challenge' we'd like to remind you that not only is this a fantastic challenge with a brilliant sketch by Tammy, but we also have a DT call on at the moment.....so let us see your cards!!!

As it's not a 'Teddy Bo' release day I've let my pen try out a few new things.....and as the CAT was so popular amongst the DT girlies and some of you lovely people we've also got a new one of him!!

And of course, as you know, when we have new releases our DT get to play!!!
