Freshly Made Sketches #579

Jen Timko is our host over at Freshly Made Sketches this week - she has given us such a fun Sketch for inspiration!

 

I hadn't played with my favorite bear in an age - he was out on my desk for another challenge but fit so well in Jen's oval!


I have a few friends with April birthdays - bee-day should count!


As crafty time often goes around here, another bear appeared...


and another!!


You'll notice another of those darling blooms from my class at
The Stamp Market!  


You'll have to head over to Freshly Made Sketches to see which bear makes his appearance there ... btw why not play with Jen's Sketch and add a bear card of your own while you're there!

Looks like you had a beary fun time with these cuties.

So fun! You rocked out the sketch with that first one :)

Maureen Morton said...

Ah, Michele....I have to say that I have seriously missed this sweet guy. You sure make magic with him. I especially love that first card....there is just so much personality there.And such a great take on the sketch! You continue to amaze and inspire - thanks for sharing!!

Oh golly are these ever CUTE! The FMS version with that sweet blue paper is darling, but the little topsy-turvy guy is fun and then you added polka dot leaves to last one. I can't pick a favorite, love them all!

Bonnie said...

This bear never fails to make me smile, Michele! Three times the smiles here today!

I am always happy to see this sweet guy come out to play! These are all so much fun Michele!

TK said...

Adorable! All are just as cute as a bear's behind, and we've been missing him!

Jeanne said...

Bees and flowers and bears, oh my! These cards are perfectly delightful! So happy and smile inducing. Thanks ever so much for sharing, Michele. :)

Bobby said...

I love him peeking in and around the flowers and bees, Michele. You've inspired me to make a card for FMS.

Marcia Hill said...

I love this bear too Michele and you have made him the star of the show on all 3 cards! I just LOVE that kinda blank look on his face, like he's not really sure what's going on, but is showing up anyways! I can't even pick a favorite as they're ALL so cute! Great job ramping up the bee-day stash too! Hugs. :0)

Julia Aston said...

Oh my gosh Michele - so many fun designs with your cute bear poking his face in! Julia xx

Darlene said...

OMG these are SO CUTE ... sure glad I don't have to choose just one! LOL Well done! I have subscribed to your blog so now I won't miss any of your fun/fabulous creations. Have a great weekend! Beware of those storms coming through ...

Linda Callahan said...

Bout time that Big Guy woke up to greet spring! He steals the show in all of your delightful cards!

Leslie Miller said...

Oh, for heaven's sake, I just shake my head. There aren't even words to express how darling these cards are and how much I love them. This guy, the whole set (which I just had to look up), all three cards... cuteness overload! The daisy paper with the flower and bee got hold of me and just wouldn't let go, but then the other two... wonderful!

Tracey McNeely said...

These are all so adorable!

Chris Dring said...

Absolutely adorable cards!

Jen Timko said...

I love them ALL!! Just as cute as can be and that fellow definitely needed to peek out of that oval. So glad you joined us this week at FMS!

These bear cards are fun and cute, Michele! I especially love the adorable bear, looking from behind the tree hollow upside down! Great use of patterned paper, as always!

These are all adorable! And I love the bee puns! Thanks for joining us at Freshly Made Sketches this week!

You certainly have a way with that bear. I am not sure which of these I love the most, but probably upside down bear, because he is, well - upside down. Love them all beary much.

Joanne James - The Crafty Owl said...

I love each and everyone one of your trio of bears - the FMS card is my favourite though and a worthy princess pick!

Brenda said...

You know I love when you use this bear! I think he is so cute and you make the cutest cards with him Michele! How sweet is the birthday one, love that field of daisies behind him and the die cut daisy to boot. Adorable! The friendship card just makes me smile from ear to ear as this bear is just too cute peeking through. And lastly, he is so cute peeking around that gorgeous flower, which would make a great little shaker! Love all three of these cute cards!! Hugs, Brenda
