Yippie! I finished a card for The Sugar Bowl Challenges. Today's card is a bit different, as you can see, I have added my own little tear bear to the image. The original stamped image has the adorable girl holding a teddy bear. I switched out the stamped teddy bear and added my tiny tear bear. I hope you like it, it's a twist and something I hope you haven't seen before. I always try my best to put a unique piece in my work, and I hope this shows.

I've followed the wonderful sketch from The Sugar Bowl Challenge and added my favorite color of Lilac. This prize is unbelievable this month, make sure to check it out and play along here!

I caught the challenge bug big time this week! I've made a card for 21 challeges! Is that legal? LOL I can't believe it either! Well, because most of the challenges this week was a Christmas theme, I was able to cheat a bit. I had a blast visiting all these great challenge blog, also found some new one on the way. If you have the time, I highly encourage you to enter in multiple challenges, it's such great fun! :)

I've always love the sketches over at Midnight Madness, just wish I have time to play every week! For my "Christmas Angel Card", I've follow the Midnight Madness sketch and entered it in 20 other challenges. You can find all the links under my pictures.

Thanks to all the lovely comments from my friends around the world, it truly encourage me to be more creative. :)
