Something beginning with B


 Good morning, my turn to host the challenge at Fab'n' Funky this fortnight, the theme I have chosen is 

'Something beginning with B'

My B's are Bear, bloom, bee , bow, brown, blue.

The stamp is from a set by Anita Jeram (Colorado Craft), coloured with pencils, sentiment from same set, I've used kraft card and an odd scrap of DP, no idea of brand.

There's more inspiration from my lovely teamies, so please hop over to F'n'F to take a look, hope you can find the time to play along with the challenge.

It's very hot here... seems wrong to be hiding indoors when the sun is shining but you can have too much of a good thing. Poor Marvin's routine is totally disrupted- he's still getting his early morning walk but has to wait until it's cool enough (if it is cool enough!) to go out again. The heat has not affected his appetite in the slightest though...and he still wants to play with his ball, I'm not keen on indoor ball games but it's too hot in the garden!

Keep cool everyone!

Chris

Love your use of kraft for this card with the touch of colour. It looks so good. I'm in hiding too, but managing to craft, so far!

So nicely done in Kraft, the Bear lends itself to the colour. Thanks for sharing at Allsorts.

Hot indeed, Rosa's a sensible girl and lays in the shade on the damp towels we lay down. Fleur on the other hand is all hot and bothered but still wants to continue as usual same as Marvin.

Beautiful use of kraft card with this stamp Chris. I’m hiding indoors too … after 5 minutes in the garden yesterday hanging out washing I could feel my head burning! Today I’ve felt too apathetic even to craft, so well done you! Xx

This kraft‑and‑blue combination is timeless, and your little bear looks adorable colored on kraft. All the “B” elements come together effortlessly, and the clean layout keeps the focus right on that sweet image.

That is such a sweet little bear and the kraft and pretty blue paper is just perfect together. Lovely card Chris. I know what you mean about too much of a good thing. From the menopause my body cannot control it's thermostat at all! Runs on hot winter and summer lol.
