Exploring the Cricut Lite Cartridge ~ Teddy Bear Parade

Being that today is New Year's Day, I thought we should start off the year with a parade.  A Teddy Bear Parade to be exact!  These bears are created by some of the many very talented crafters from the Cricut Circle message board. Each bear is lovingly crafted with a variety of papers, embellishments, and textures using the Cricut Lite cartridge, Teddy Bear Parade. There are a lot of different bears on this cartridge, 50 to be exact. Since there were so many bears, I broke them down into two categories: Occasion and Character. This swap was so popular and filled so fast, that I opened two sign up groups for each category so that everyone that wanted to, could join in on the swapping fun. So you are in for an even BIGGER treat...you get to see two examples of EVERY bear on this cartridge! 

Let the parade begin!

And last, but not least, I wanted to share a handmade teddy that I received as a hostess gift from skydolphin.  Awesome isn't it?  I received many other wonderful gifts in addition to this teddy.  Thank you ladies, I truly appreciate your kindness and generosity!

Thank you to all my crafty friends for participating in this swap.  Your creations continue to amaze and inspire me!  I look forward to swapping with you in the future!

  24. Your teddy bears are adorable! I just got this cartridge and cannot figure out the sizes of the layers. Some come out way too big for the bear. Do you know how I can figure what sizes to cut out for the layers?
