BUG HOP WINNER, and what I would have submitted..

Unfortunately I didn't get to do the BugBites Bug Hop this weekend because my in-laws were here for the weekend, and my craftroom was used as a spare bedroom....So when they left this morning I took the time to make something that I would have submitted if I had played along:



I used SVGCut.com's ant picnic at 8.5x11 and I cut out a bunch of ants (7 were actually usable). The watermelon is from Doodlecharms and the worm is from April Showers. I made a mat 1/4 inch bigger then a 4x6 picture and added photo corners.


I would like to thank all of those who now follow my blog and for all the kind comments!! If you didn't notice, I only had 12 followers before this blog hop, now I have 43! Yay! I'd also like to thank Barb over at BugBites for letting be apart of her first ever blog hop! It was a lot of fun!

Now for the BUG HOP WINNER:

Panda Bear with Bamboo Card

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE how this came out! I don't think I can send it to anyone!

Anyways, I used Mary's free Valentine's bear (SVGCuts.com) and changed it up a little bit. I got rid of the giant heart, of course, and made two small oval shapes for the panda's body. I hand cut the shapes for the eyes....it wasn't hard. For the grass I used Plantin' Schoolbook (except for the 4 pieces of Jolee's blades that you see on either side of the panda). For the clouds I used April Showers. I embossed with D'vine Swirls for the blue background and the clouds. Now for the bamboo:

I cut several strips of tan paper 1/4"-1/2" wide and inked the edges. I then cut them into short strips (many different sizes) and glued them all together in a row. For the leaves I used Storybook branch on page 37. I just cut the branches in different sizes and then cut them apart at the stem (so I'd get 4 sets of two leaves and one left over leaf).

I'm going to be entering this card into the Cooking With Cricut Cele"BEAR"ation Blog Hop.
