Ready Teddy Go saying Goodbye for a while...

Morning to you all in blogland...

Hope you are al doing ok.

I am here this morning to share my mid way reminder inspiration for Ready Teddy Go but also to say that it has been a hard decision to make but Ready Teddy Go challenge will be having a break for a while. Hopefully this is not the end of Ready Teddy Go but we need to take a break re assess where we are and maybe re instate the blog at a later stage.   This is therefore the last challenge from us for a while at least.......If we can make it all work we will be back again soon.

So for our last challenge the theme is New Beginnings.....remember you must have a teddy/bear as the main image and you can enter up to 4 times.  Any cards that do not have a teddy will not be included for the winners prize.

We have a fantastic sponsor this month which is the Hobby House who are offering a £10 voucher to spend in store for our winner.

For my card I have used a very cute LOTV image called Playtime Puppy 

The image is coloured with Polychromo pencils

Ribbon from Hobbycraft

Twine from stash

Sentiment - Craftwork Cards

Thanks for stopping by and for your lovely comments.  

I have really lost my MOJO at the moment so not much to share here at the moment.

Have a good day.

Who's the Daddy at Ready Teddy Go

Good morning,
Hope you are all well. I am feeling very relaxed and chilled as Mike and I have been away for the last week on the Isle of Wight.  The weather was pretty kind with only Wednesday being a total washout with rain all day.  We were actually a little disappointed with the island....I think we have been to so many beautiful places over the years in the UK and seen such breath taking scenery that it was just a little bit of a let down.  We did enjoy it though and it was a good holiday and feel totally chilled out but for us it didn't have the WOW factor of a brilliant holiday.
We still have another week off and are planning a couple of day trips and also hoping that my parents will come over one day to see us so we are looking forward to another week away from work :)

Well enough of my waffle..... I am here to share my card for the reminder at Ready Teddy Go

It doesn't haven't to be a Father's Day card, it could be for a birthday or any other occasion, just as long as we can spot the Daddy connection and of course it features a bear or a teddy

Something New at Ready Teddy Go

Its been a while since you have seen me in blogland but I am back now.    Let me start by wishing you all  a very Happy New Year and hope its a happy and  healthy one for you and your families.

The moving house went really well, very smoothly in fact.   Crafting and blogging had to take a back seat for a while as we had a lot of sorting to do, we have been in our new house 7 weeks tomorrow and it definetely feels like home.......we love it.  The craft room was the last room on the list to get sorted but we are almost there.

So I am here today to tell you about a new challenge at Ready Teddy Go .  We want to see you create a card for

"Something New"

It could be a new home, new job or a new baby, etc.  Just make sure you use a bear or teddy bear as the main image or you we will not be able to keep your entry in the draw for the prize.  You can enter up to four times as long as you enter a new project each time.

This month's sponsor is My Mum's Craft Shop with a £10 voucher to spend in their shop.

 

 

My card is using a Forever FRiends stamp for a new baby....... coloured with Polychromo pencils.

All the other embellies are from my stash.  I have added liquid pearls to the background although I think I got a bit carried away with them!

 

Thanks for stopping by today, I will hopefully not be disappearing again for such a long time.

 

Enjoy your day and I look forward to visiting your blogs.

Hugs Sally xx
