Beary Birthday

Hello-

This afternoon I spent a few hours crafting with my friend Peggy.  We practiced social distancing -- she is in Maine and I am in Maryland.  We facetimed while we each worked on our cards.  We are both happiest with coloring. 

Another set out of my bin, Beary Special Birthday from MFT.  I used almost all the images and sentiments from the set, so this one gets filed.

I have four cards to show for our 4 hour crafting session and each was inspired by a particular challenge.

First up is Seize the Birthday with toppings - A touch of green.



Next Watercooler Wednesday - Tristan's Anything goes with a masculine twist.





Then Addicted to Stamps - Anything goes.




And last but not least, CAS on Friday - Birthday
For your blog


Thanks for stopping by.  Keep Safe. Stay Home if at all possible.

Your four bear themed cards are super cute and what fun it must be to craft with your friend by technology x. Stay safe too Cat x.

What a great idea! You're very clever to do 4 really cute cards in 4 hours while face timing. I'd be way too distracted! I face timed with a friend on Thursday, which was the day we were supposed to spend the evening at their house, but it didn't happen because now we're all distancing. Not as much fun as being there, but, hey, we're managing. If I had to pick a favorite of these it would probably be the last one because of the yellow. That frosting looks pretty darn yummy, too.

Love these adorable bears, Cat, and your idea to craft via facetime the perfect solution to social distancing!
