Here's the inside of my card. I used the other half of the tree from the front, only added blingy junk that Pat got. The bear image was too big, so I scanned it and cut him down to size. Not bad. The fireplace is CB'd. Notice I used the one that looks like rocks- that's manly. And of course I used my trustly xacto knife to cut it all out. Scissors are for sissies. The bear picture over the fireplace was from Google images.

WOW that cuttlebuggy fireplace is a nice touch! And your blingy junk tree? Not quite as manly...but awesome none the less...now...that cute cuddly bear all curled up...I don't care if you cut it out with an exacto knife it is very unmanly...but you get extra credit bonus points because it is DARN sweet! This is one creative card THE Buckle Man, I am very very impressed! I see that you are heeding my warning that Santa and his #1 helper are ALWAAAAYS watching!!

Pat, you should be bragging, I know I would if huby would be creating cards like this. Now, you and me Bubba, maybe we could be friends...huh! Well, I could give you the priviledge of giving me pointers on cardmaking for free. Good deal huh!
Really extraordinaire! Sorry it took the french right out of me! WOW' I'm sitting here this morning, and want to know how I didn't make a card like this...LOL

Bubba, Love that tree image and that you used some of it on the front and some inside....very cleaver my dear! Also, love that Gruffie curled up by the fireplace made out of cb. You impressed me that you even knew the name of that thing!
The only thing missing from this card is a picture of you and Pat on the mantle. Maybe the next one!
Bubba, I must confess....I dont even own a Xacto knife as of yet, but it is on my xmas wish list. Great card bubba!

Fabulous, love the bear picture and the little bear reading by the fireplace, which is akso awesome!! Great job!! Keep up the good work, can't wait to see more!!
Wow! How long did this take you? It would have taken me a long, long time to do something like this. This one must have required the WELDER.
She is gonna be impressed and will love it!

How cute the little Gruffie fell asleep by the fireplace. It is cold here and I wish I could snuggle up beside him. I like the picture you hung over the fireplace, too. DH just had a peek and says you are making him look bad, he doesn't do card making with his wife and no way could he make a card like this.

I think you have your card reversed. Bears are for the outside, not for the inside. Especially if you are giving this card to your granny....you wanna give her heart failure?? And don't think that precious little picture of the three bears above the fireplace is fooling anyone. When that snuggly bear wakes up, all you know what is gonna break loose!
I for one, will be staying outside, even if the warmth is inside!
Okay, now for my comment. Your fireplace rocks, your snowy windows and flocked tree is awesome and you have the right idea on making a wonderful warm touchy feely little Christmas card, you are just confused about the animals! Snort!

Baby- you did a beautiful job with all the 'junk'. (You remind me of Wally Clever when you say that!) Beautiful MAN card Bub, and very sweet too. LYMI
