it's Brenda's turn to choose the challenge and she's (belatedly) celebrating "Bring Your Teddy Bear To Work Day" which mean she wants to see projects that either have bears on them or have to do with work/working. Isn't that awesomely fun? I sure think it is.
Ever have one of those situations where everything manages to fall exactly into place and you actually come up with a project that nails the challenge? So much so that you reward yourself with a bowl of ice cream for lunch because you were such a good DT Member this week? Welp, that was me for this challenge. [Although, in the interest of full disclosure I've also rewarded myself with a bowl of ice cream (or other various treats) for a myriad of "did good" reasons that may or may not include instances like: taking the dog for a walk even though it was (barely) drizzling, waiting until my coworker turned her back before rolling my eyes, remembering to take meat out of the freezer for supper etc.]
So, this is what I did.....
See that?!?! It's a bear who is going to work!! A bear. Going to work. Challenge defeated!
Apparently it's Loud Tie Tuesday at his firm too.
Digi is from Whimsie Doodles who are, sadly, out of business. I had initially wondered about a sentiment....I wasn't sure what sort of occasion to have this card be for. I decided to go with a pun because PUNS GO WITH EVERYTHING. (Don't try to argue with me on that, I'll fight you.)
Why don't you give our challenge a go this week and head on over to Little Red Wagon and link up. And, while you're there, be sure to check out the fabulous projects the other Girlfriends have created.

Girllllllll...you DID nail this one!!! Great card, and I'm with you 100% on puns. Great coloring, excellent paper choices, too. And like you, I have quite a few Whimsie Doodles stamps and was sad to see them close.
ReplyDeleteOH...MY...GOODNESS! Not only is he darling, HE IS PERFECT! I think you should go treat yourself again, partially because that pun is perfection on top of perfection!
