Meet Mr Ted E Bear

Look at what I accomplished last night and today.

I want to make teedy bears for the Operation Christmas Child Shoe Boxes.
These boxes are delivered by Samaritans Purse International Relief go check out there Website Here

This teddy is knitted using the magic loop technique, It's a free pattern designed by Julie Tarsha.

He was fun to knit even though I should have been doing my swaps for next weeks On Stage.

Go and check out both websites.

I love making up the shoe boxes, I collect bits and pieces all year.

Last year I send 5 boxes.

Operation Christmas Child

Volunteer with Operation Christmas Child and join our happy band of volunteers reaching children in poverty with gift-filled shoeboxes and the Good News of Jesus Christ. There is a role for you!

Sorry your Sick

Pin It

Today's card, I started before I went to work yesterday.

I worked a double shift, so I was in need of some me time so off to the craft room to complete.

I have used this weeks The Colour Tree TCTC#12 for my colour combo.
Which I will only get in by the hairs on my chinny chin chin.
I would love to know where this week as gone, it was a short week.

I used Freshly Made Sketches FMS#230.

The flag panel is Water Colour Card, I embossed the flourish and used Ink Refills and Aqua Painters to get this resist effect, which by the way I didn't like when it was wet as it was when I went to work yesterday.
The Stamp Set is Timeless textures.

I used Fabulous Four Stamp Set for the sentiment, I inked with the Mossy Meadow Stampin' Write Marker and emitted the words get better quick, then cleaned the stamp then stamped them on the inside of the card.

I have sponged the outside and inside with Soft Suede, I love the retro/shabby look it has given it.
This card uses 2 of the 2014 - 2016 In Colours which are retiring at the end of May.
If you still need to get these colours or need the Ink Refills, get them soon because they will only be around until stocks run out, go to my shop and place your order now.
This is the pair of Toe Up Socks that I have knitted for my DH.
