Sugar Pea Mix it Up Challenge May 2020

It has seemed so bizarre that the most treasured grocery item, besides yeast, these days has been toilet paper … seems my design brain is obsessed by the phenomenon, too!
 
This guy just seemed the perfect guest to bring to the party at Sugar Pea's May 2020 Mix it Up Challenge #67:
 
My own inside sentiment:
"Oh, go ahead - squeeze the Charmin, too!"*

*[I know I'm dating myself, but who remembers Mr. Whipple?]
 
Sugar Pea: Hey Honey stamps & dies, sentiment; Enjoy Tag for quote bubble

LOL...cute card, timely too. And what is it with the TP? I just don't get it.

LeAnne said...

LOL, what a clever bear he is!!! LOVE that he is bluuuuuue!

Lisa Elton said...

Oh yes, I remember Mr. Whipple, he was kind of annoying to me LOL!! But your cute bear, he's a keeper! Darling (and clever) card Michele!

You picked the perfect shade of blue for your Charmin bear! I'm pretty sure the panic is over--at least I hope so! In Hawaii, it was rice. Go figure.

Oh my gosh..so darn cute and clever, Michele. I love your choice of watercolors for your bear, flowers and fun sentiments and perfect for the times..inside sentiment. TFS your fun card and for the chuckle:-) Stay safe and Creative, my friend. Hugs..Nancy

Cute!!! Love your adorable bear, and yes, I too am old -- Mr Whipple is not long forgotten

Bonnie said...

Mr. Bear looks awesome in blue, Michele! Glad he's got some tp to squeeze, LOL! A super fun card that reminds me that I have some bears stamped and colored that need a home.

Good old Mr. Whipple... I love this blue bear. That is one great color combo... and there goes that brain of yours again... brilliant sentiment.

Jeanne said...

Mr Whipple! Yup, remember him well. And this bear looks like those bears in the current commercials. I don't like them as well. Their fascination is kind of creepy to me. LOL But your card...it's fabulous! Love the brilliant blue and the happy yellow lemon. Thank you so much for sharing!

Love this blue bear - he looks like he's ready to take on the day! This is making me thirsty for homemade lemonade! : )

You are so hilarious, as is this card, especially with the inside sentiment. You're so right. Grocery items that have yet to be replenished, boggle my mind, too.

Linda Callahan said...

Well I just want to squeeze that sweet bear that shows up now and then on your cards! So adorable!

Nora Noll said...

This is so cute!! I LOVE that you colored in that bear BLUE!!!

JulieP said...

I totally remember the Mr. Whipple commercials and Charmin Mega rolls are my fav. (My stash is dwindling...). Super cute!

lostinpaper said...

There he is! The blue bear I saw at Insta, how fabulous Michele!

Barb Ghig said...

I remember Mr. Whipple :) I love your watercolored bear and fabulous design on this super CUTE card, Michele! Love your inside sentiment, too...unfortunately, we ran out of Charmin a few weeks ago and we're down to the generic industrial brand at this point...will this pandemic ever end?!!!

Anita in France said...

A blue bear, Michele ... adorable ... and positively squeezable ... what a cutie! Hugs, Anita :)

Ros Crawford said...

What a cutie! Loving those colours and the sentiment - even if I don't know who Mr Whipple is... An American thing?

Love the shade of blue and this cute bear, Michele! I got Charmin bear, but I didn't know about the Mr. Whipple commercials, so I googled him. "Don't squeeze the Charmin!" ;-) Hideko xx
