Twas the Night before Teaparty,
And All through the house,
Not a single Teddy Bear Stamp,
Not even up the sleeve of my blouse.
My husband and son were all snug in their beds,
I decided to retire too and see if an idea would pop into my head.
When out on the street their arose such a clatter,
I realized it was the garbage man and decided it didn't matter.
I closed the blinds with a clash,
And all of a sudden an idea came to me in a flash.
A bear is a bear I said.
And I decided to use my new polar bear stamp instead.
What am I talking about? Mothermark's Teapot Tuesday Challenge that's what. Follow me and you will see it is Beary Fun:Forums at Splitcoaststampers. Hee.

Yep, a bear is a bear is a bear. I've just had the same revelation moment after seeing a gorgeous pink Koala at the party - I have a digi koala.
The paper piecing on both the bead and the background are so wonderful. So are those snowflake buttons too - I love this card

Not only did you create a colorful, happy card but a poem as well. You are a woman of many talents. I think every teddy bear needs a polar bear friend.

Cute poem Lisa - and even cuter card! Love the sparkle and shine your polar bear has and the great stitching on your multi patterned snow hills - and of course the wonderful button snowflakes! Wow - great card!
