Teddy Bo Tuesday - Mid Challenge Reminder

Good Morning 'Bo-ettes'!!!  How are you all feeling this morning!!??  Good I hope!!
Well...the snow has left us for the time being but has left in it's place RAIN!!!  No wonder Scotland is so green with all the 'watering' it gets!!!!

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

Did you have a nice Easter!!?  Did you make some lovely memories with your family!!?  I hope so..x

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

We were all out and about with our own families this weekend (the DT get let home for High Days and holidays ) so the actual Tower was quiet.  Before they left though the girls managed to make some cards with the current graphics and challenge theme.

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

Debbie

I've used TEDDYBOBEA_121, some sadly neglected First Edition Papers and a must have set of Carnation Creation Dies that I've maybe used once. The sentiment is Lili of the Valley#


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

Claire

I have used the gorgeous TeddyBea - 198 Sowing The Seeds, I have coloured her with pencils and the papers are from Nitwits and I think it's just perfect for this challenge.

Colette

On this card the back is square (with rounded corners) and I made a scalloped heart template for the front, then hinged the two together with some strips of card glued to the back of the heart and the back of the card, which have then been covered with patterned paper.

This is how it looks closed

and here it is open.
