From the Heart: Bearly Hanging on Here

I just finished making a card for the youngest kiddo to give to his teacher today.  "No pink or purple and NOTHING cutesy" were his instructions.  I managed to do it (but only JUST) If I have time, I'll post a picture of THAT card.  But immediately after making the teacher card, I felt compelled to make the youngest's Christmas card.  Just to be obnoxious, I made sure to include pink AND cutesy on his card.  Sorry buddy.  This is my style.  Deal with it!

Here's  my card for the From The Heart challenge this month.  It was a cute bear with a huge stack of presents.  I decided to blow up the image and focus on the best part ... the friendship.

I'm using the sketch from Taylored Expressions.  It's so open that lots of different interpretations are possible.  I just did the sketch ... no bingo.

FTH Progressive November

Since I have a tendency to be a tad bit of a procrastinator, and the big holiday is at the end of the month ... I'm trying to (as Mater says) "git'er done (early)".  Hopefully this will allow me to enjoy Thanksgiving a bit more, knowing that I'm up to date on everything.

So in the spirit of being organized, I present you my card for the November From the Heart Progressive Challenge.  The image is called: Deck the Halls Birdbrain, and he is awfully cute isn't he?   Remember, if you play along each month, Faith will e-mail the next month's image to you for free!

I'm using the sketch from the Share Joy Challenge over on the Taylored Expressions site.  I didn't want to use the suggested colors and I rotated the sketch on it's side to work with my image but other than THAT, my card kinda sorta fits their challenge EXACTLY!

I like my card but looking at it now, I wish my tree paper weren't sideways.  ((Sigh)).  Oh well, I doubt the recipient of this card will care.

Have a great week y'all.
