My little piece of Paradise

Thanks for stopping by my blog :) I'm new to blogging, only started at the beginning of January 2014. In that time I have had a lot of fun participating in various challenges and have been inspired by so many of you. I'm new to card making but enjoy it so much. I've been a scrapbooker for many years and card making seemed like the next logical step:)
I hope you enjoy your visit and feel free to leave me a comment or follow my blog. HUGZ :)

Thank You Bear

Happy hump day :)
Been pretty busy here with cleaning and organizing, plus me moved from a big house to a smaller on and my craft room is now non existent...I'll have to post old and new pics sometime and you'll get the point lol
So onto the card :)
As usual I've been watching the challenge blogs and I love doing my cards this way by following some challenge guidelines, this way, what I come up with, is not something I would normally do and it definetly challenges me.
The guidelines I followed for this card was blue, bear, thank you, 3 designer papers and a Mojo Monday Sketch, and this is what I came up with .... Hope you like :)

    What a cute bear. I love his profusion of blue flowers, which match the card so beautifully.

    Can I just say, it might be quite nice if you actually said opposite the challenge blog name, what their challenge was in case anyone looking in on your blog fancies joining in with one or other of them?

    Anyhow, this is just adorable, thank you for sharing with us

    Happy New Year
