I love co-hostessing this challenge with lovely ladies who pick color combinations I would probably never choose myself, and then being blown away at how AWESOME they are, and once again, making something that has made me think outside my BOX. I always tell when I don't like a card, so I have to say, this is my most favorite "cute" card I have made in a long time. These colors just seemed to lend themselves to this cute polar bear...and I had a lot of fun making this card and really love it! Is it bad to admit you love your card?? I certainly don't love them all! Thanks Peggy for a wonderful challenge that made me step outside my own comfort color combos......you and Julia and Vicki really help me use colors I don't think of, where Mary and Betty pick ones that always seem easier for me. My wonderful colorful friends!! All of you!! I love doing this with all of YOU special ladies!!! Happy Tuesday everyone!

It sure never looks like you have trouble using any color Karen! I just love this sweetly colored bear and the cute mittens - and the braided fiber is a wonderful winter touch!

Karen, eye-popping fun and GORGEOUS card! One wouldn't know you're not comfortable with this color combo - you totally nailed the challenge! LOVE that cute little polar bear and the snowflakes around him, and the texture on your card says winter all the way. The little dangly mittens are adorable! And you are SO allowed to love your own cards.
