This is for today's Free for All challenge (to use warm colors and something fuzzy) and Queen for the Day 45, which is Heather (Isaiah40:31). I'm delighted to congratulate Heather on this honor as she's so encouraging in all her comments to fellow stampers and has such inspiring creations! I was inspired by this lovely CAS card: CAS93 Christmas Wreath by Isaiah40:31 at Splitcoaststampers
This teddy from a retired SU set is as close as I can come to represent something fuzzy - he's colored with copics and popped up on a couple of Nesties ovals. The letter is from the same set and popped up again. I added a punched heart, button and twine. All edges have been sponged with Ranger Distress Antique Linen.
I've come back to add this link as someone was wondering how to find the Queen for the Day challenge - here it is: QFTD45 ... and the winner is ... by marilynprestonn at Splitcoaststampers

Gosh, does it get any cuter than this? LOVE your clean layout based on Heather's card and darling bear, which I think I have too. I LOVE the dp and use of the hearts and twine. Wonderful work!

WOW! You took the layout from my card and made an absolutely outstanding card!!! I love every single detail of this amazing card! The bear is adorable ~ perfectly coloured too ~ and the gingham is the perfect bg!!! And that twine!!! Love it. Thanks so much for stopping by my gallery to have a look and for participating this week! So appreciated. My card was made when I was in Arizona in November ~ it's -30�C here at the moment and I am wondering why we're not still in Arizona!!! BTW, I have made a card for your QFTD week but haven't had a chance to upload it yet. Maybe this week...

So sweet and adorable! The gingham and checked backgrounds really give this card a warm, homey feel. Teddy Bear is coloured very nicely, indeed! Even the letter he's holding is sponged on the edges.
