To start, I used Emma Playing Mommy and the Wendy Alphabet set to make a quick little baby card. I stamped the image on a Perfect Paper Panel, colored with Prismacolor pencils, and added some fun glitter. I used the Framed Greetings dienamic and coordinating stamp set too.


Next up, is our sweet Fred Bear. I stamped him on MFT's watercolor paper {my favorite!} and colored him with Twinkling H2Os. I used the open scallop dienamic on the side panel. I used some fun fishy Cosmo Cricket paper and some crazy stitching to finish him off. The really exciting part is in the next picture though....


It's a REAL fishhook!! I ran to our local hardware/fishing/sports/catch all store {which was a little funny with baby in tow--I don't think they get many crazed paper crafting moms in that store} and found a set of hooks for $.80! It might make the card slightly dangerous, but it's a boy card. Boys are tough. ;)


Okay, I'm off for now, but I'll be back with more teasers soon! :)
