Hi there. I have a quick card to post today for the current paper piecing challenge at Serendipity SSCB #21. One of my fave spin instructors is expecting her first child, and I had this idea to use a bike with a teddy bear in the basket. I already had a cute bike with a basket, and Marybeth came to the rescue, sending me some stamped teddy bear images that I could put in the basket. She is not saying if it is a boy or girl, so I used Aqua Mist and Harvest Gold as my colors.
I paper pieced the basket and the teddy bear.
I made a matching tag--and my spinning buddy and I are going shopping this week for a baby gift. It seems like it has been a long time since I shopped for baby things.
Thanks for Visiting
This is soooo cute, I love it! What a clever idea to use the basket for the teddy and turn it into a welcome baby card. Your tag is precious too!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing and hope you will join us again, good luck!
So precious, Joyce, oh, my gosh. That tag is such a bonus on top of a perfect card!!
ReplyDeleteI've taken the time to mosey back through all the cards you've made in the past week and now the front of my shirt is wet with drool! I guess I'm a dedicated carder because I don't even drool THAT much when I'm reading a cooking blog!! You are a star!! Hugs, Darnell
Isn't this exactly why card making is such a wonderful hobby? A bicycle card for an expectant spin instructor! I love the festive balloons and that sweet teddy!
ReplyDeleteJoyce, what a fabulous and sweet card! Love your bicycle and that little teddy beat in the basket it so precious. But your bouquet of balloons hanging for your bike makes this card so much fun and one of my all time favorites that you have created! Love it.
