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!

ReplyDeletewow, you did an amazing job.
ReplyDeleteYour 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?
