Charlene, thanks for bringing Dusty the bear to our attention. I am honored to meet such a sweet little bear. At the teaparty here: Forums at Splitcoaststampers
Dusty and I got to talking. He was so glad that people were thinking of him and showing him love and appreciation. He is so thoughtful. He wanted me to help him thank the men and women who sacrifce for our freedoms. The sentiment printed on the oval is from this Billy Ray Cyrus song:
ALL GAVE SOME
BUT SOME GAVE ALL.
After making flowers out of paper towels yesterday, I thought of trying to make a tear bear out of paper towels. All I made was a mess. I decided to make my tear bear out of brown cardstock. I made my quilled flowers in red white and blue. For the CCEE I got my 4 layers without having to count my bear as a layer. I got the ribbon on his neck. This card is also for the Stampin' Sisters In Christ Challenge#12: http://stampinsistersinchrist.blogsp...john-1513.html
to make a card honoring the men and women in the armed forces.
