Cuddle Up With Tammy Teddy

Happy Monday!! Today is the last day to comment for a chance to win a fall-themed shape from Say It With Letters . . click here and go to the bottom of the post!

I have another one of Sharon Johnson's challenges to share. This time it's Cuddle Up With Tammy, in honor of another one of my fellow KSS Crew members, Tammy Herschberger. The challenge was to create a card that was warm, snuggly, that had a cozy feel and a bit of homespun.

What is better than a snuggly teddy bear! I just love love this adorable little boo boo bear from Kitchen Sink Stamps! The set is called 3 Step Get Well Teddy and he is just adorable! He is also so easy to line up and stamps just beautifully! I wanted to make a lighter colored bear similar to one my son has so I used Desert Sand (Memento), Latte (Adirondack) and Rich Cocoa (Memento).

I used some yummy Crate Paper (Kate Collection) and kept it fairly simple. I found this big brown button in my button tin - already threaded!! I love how buttons add to a card - a bit of homespun don't you think?! :)
