Teddy Bo Tuesday and challenge #13 Anything but a card!

Gooooooooooooooood Morning to you all and a Happy Teddy Bo Tuesday...is it Summer where you are yet?!?!?  Unfortunately someone has stolen the sun from Scotland...


It's the summer holidays here in Scotland (we're slightly earlier than the rest of the country!!)...it's just the first day and thankfully my kids haven't said that they're bored yet..but I know it's just round the corner!! ;0)

Now onto the winners of our last challenge.  That challenge was hosted by Team A who are now 'on holiday' for a fortnight..but before they took their break from Teddy Bo & Co cardmaking duties they voted for their favourite cards together with our brand new Team B........their votes came out as follows:

"I've made myself a little file folder in which to keep my Teddy Bea and Bo images together so I don't have to keep searching for them, not that I'm disorganized you understand - except when I'm crafting and I can never find a thing, can't even see the floor half the time."





This is the inside of the file

Helle




"I have made a flower decoration and have used Butterfly Bea.
I have used a scalpel on the wings as the wings are "transparent"
Used some glitter on them, but it is unfortunately not present in the pictures.
This stamp is double and glued on a flower stick, decorated with grass and small flowers."

I have been rummaging through my crafty cupboard and came across this memo block that has space to decorate.
I must of had this over 10 years and still not done anything with it,
I think its a left over from my cross stitching days
( I have to confess I had  forgotten I bought it really).















I have made it girlie because I'm going to put it on my crafty desk, 
so i have used some of my favourite Teddy Bo images (up to now).

The Papers are from Wild Rose Studio Lilac Mist paper pad.
Coloured with Polychromos pencils and sansodor.
I made the paper lace out of a Marianne creatable die.
Lilac card stock.
I thought about sticking flowers to the outside but i don't know if i liked it or not,
so left it for now.

Nela
A castle for sweets

Now let's take a look at this weeks fabulous offerings from the Design Team.


Tammy's card is first up.  




"Bo has been printed on to Bristol Board - this is a very smooth card which is perfect for colouring with Poly Pencils. Always gives a great finish.
Papers are from Tammy's digital collection and she's added more colour to the leafs.
Flowers as always -  Wild Orchid Crafts.
The sentiment is so perfect for Bo's outfit, don't you think?
Spider charm is added to give that halloween feeling. "


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Then Debbie
"Bo is struggling with his pint (of orange!) which has been coated with diamond glaze and fun flock to give it some froth. The sentiment is a Lili of the Valley stamp and the star paper has been hanging about in Debbie's stash for ages."

"For today's Teddy Bo Tuesdays post, I decided to alter a  little picture frame using one of the new Teddy Bea's Teddy Bea _103......such a cute image...love these dress up ones, Gayle :o)

Anyway, in the way of materials I used image Teddy Bea_103,  a picture from from The Range {thinks its Papermania}, painted with Picket Fence Crackle Paint, all the flowers are from Wild Orchid Craft, as is the metal corner and the delish butterfly too.  The small metal flowers {spacers} are from The Hobby House.  I have coloured my image with Prisma Pencils, blended with Sansodor!"
