Just Us Girls #704 ~ I Come Bearing Gifts!

 

Hey there!  We have our first challenge of November for you today at Just Us Girls. A new month also brings us a new guest designer. We're welcoming Melissa Craig to the blog for the next few weeks!

Since it's Christmas card crunch time for me, I took advantage of Carol's red and green combination to add to my pile. This cute polar bear is in a stack of things I stamped with my friend Michele on her last visit. The embossed poinsettia background (also borrowed!) was in that stack too. It seems like forever and a day ago, Michele!! 

Okay friends, it's your turn! How does red and green inspire you? I can't wait to find out!

So cute, so cute!! I love the focal image - it looks like a polaroid snapshot of that adorable bear. It's punny sentiment is too cute.

I stamped a bunch of those images when I visited Bonnie over a year ago and used them all up last year. They make such quick and easy cards and yours is wonderful with the embossed background and holly embellishment, Lisa.

Your gift-bearing polar bear is charming and dapper, sporting his winter scarf and hat. The embossed background and holly -decorated frame make for an eye-catching design. Love this!
