Bear hugs! That's a saying we grew up with and now I use ... which is as funny as it is sweet! Those great big squishy hugs - roaring loud and chasing the little ones to hug ♥ Today's free for all is using odd sayings AND my card reflects the April challenge at the Crafters of Faith to create a card with the theme of Joy. While it doesn't have the word on it, my kids are definitely the most joyful thing in my life! My card was created with them in mind - they do bring me joy! ♥ TFL

Kelly, your bear hugs card oozes JOY! I love the direction you went with the theme... as I know how much joy your children bring to your life.
In our family, it was "Grandma Hugs"... the type we got when we got to grandma's house were always huge, long-lasting, tight, and full of love. That's what happens when you live states away from Grandma, you know.

Such an adorable image, Kelly, and I love all the pretty papers that you used. The green fits add so much to your cards. My "2 baby boys" are now 19 and 21, and they are still "the apple of my eye".

Love this saying and adorable image to show the love! I love what you said about chasing the little ones down to give them a hug. It really pays off when they get older, they give it freely!
