Challenge 137 'Beary Good'

Many thanks for your entries this last week - not too many but all  lovely ones.
We do so all enjoy seeing your works of art - keep them coming

The winner this week is..... 

number 6

That's you Jenny Starcyl.... well done




This week the challenge is 'Beary Good' sponsored by Purple Panda Designs by Kayla who provided the DT with some lovely images to work with. The little bear is the one I chose - with difficulty.
You don't have to use any special bear - any bear will do.....
The prize will be some digi images of the winners choice so do be sure to pop over and enter.
Kayla is only 16 years of age and draws her own designs to I thought I would give her a chance by promoting her on my blog - her images are cute and lovely.
Here are the DT cards to help inspire you - do click on their blogs - top right - and see their other lovely creations.

drum roll - the winning number is.........3....... come in Faye and claim your prize..... well done you.


This weeek on Tuesday January 25th we in Scotland celebrate Burns Night .   This is celebrated by the piping in of and the addressing of the Haggis, a quaint Scottish tradition and the eating of it together with neeps and tatties (swedes and mashed potatoes to you lol ) and drinking copious amounts of Whisky.
So my challenge to you is HIGHLAND FLING - in other words please incorporate something Scottish into your creation. You could use Tartan, thistles, castles, Scottish images or even some words from the Baird himself Robbie Burns.
There will be a spot prize of a lovely Backing Paper CD from
Hazel at Designs by Tabby Kat.
Here is what the DT have come up with for this challenge. Do click on their blogs - top right - to check out how they made them and their other lovely works of art.
