Can't believe how quickly it has come round to the Monthly Jems Team blog hop! And this month we are showcasing the
new In Colours...
So I have already introduced you to the new In Colours quite a bit by sharing
the projects I made (so secretly!) back in April for On Stage, Telford... All of these new colours are fabulous... even the ones I first didn't like!!... and each and every one has a place in the SU colour range ... so you do
need every one... they are truly a great collection to have...
But I could not put my brand new favourite
furry friend,
Baby Bear down!!! I having been having a lot of fun.... when you have a daft idea ... some days you just have to run with it...
Nor could I stop making my new favourite
Square Pop Up Z Fold card format.... which I
re-sized for today... Nor could I not use the Designer Series papers which only about 80 demos in the world have as of today!!! Monday being another matter.... 10s of 1000s will have them....
So without further ado let me introduce you to my new In Colour furry friends.... who have been playing dress up!
First we have
Dapper Bear in
Denim... all dressed up in his dapper bow tie and waistcoat (care of the
Owl Punch)
Then we have the very
Flirty Baby in
Flamingo ... she is such a tease!! With a beautiful bow in her hair and her lovely baby bib (also care of the
Owl Punch) Spot the decorated papers too....
Now it is time for our
Emerald hugging
Envy Bear... well I am envious of an emerald that big!!! (from
Playful Pals)
Next up is
Sweet Sugarplum Bear
... adorned with her pretty bow and sweet candy necklace (do you remember those!!!? My baby sitter always used to bring is those as kids.... ) Again spot the coloured flowers on the paper too....
And last but not least... though he got lost on the way as he obviously he can't see!!!! Yes it is is
Peekaboo Bear in
Peach... with his shiny John Lennon glasses (care of Fine Tip glue &
Playful Pals).... and he also has a shiny nose (though that won't be repeated! I have cheated by using my marker to colour it in afterwards )... Funnily enough Peeky was the first one made... and the originator of my idea for dressing up the bears....
I am SO loving Baby Bear - he is definitely bringing out the inner child in me.... (and yes - in case you hadn't guessed it - my favourite childhood book used to be The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe!!! Hence the title of this post)
Go

Permission to case??
I have to admit you have got me hooked on these pop up Z fold cards and I have done 4 of them this past week for close friends birthdays - sadly I still have to do a belated one for someone I missed!! This will have to wait til we get back from our golfing break on Tuesday.
