Bear Love

Lately I've gotten a chance to just play with some crafty supplies.  I've been working at making some Valentine's Day cards and have been having fun with using some patterned papers and this adorable polar bear stamp set.  I'm loving being able to paper piece the little scarves!                             

On this first card, I finally, finally, finally was able to use up that heart ribbon--I've had it forever!  The dark pink ribbon was left over from some sort of packaging, I've still got a bit more left. 

With this second one, I had a lot of fun using different scraps of patterned paper.  I was also able to use up all the oddball pink rhinestones that I've had for quite a while.  Don't you just love this cute little bear?!!
