NOTE:  I loved how, when I flood-filled the bunny costume w/ the pattern, that a heart appeared right in the middle of his li’l tummy.  I had no need to attach his actual tan tummy.  Thought it looked cute!  J

Teddy Bear Ladybug

I just got one of the cutest Cricut Cartridges ever ---- Teddy Bear Parade.  The teddy bears are just toooooo stinkin’ cute!   There are 50 bears total.

Even tho they are adorable, there wasn’t a Ladybug teddy bear, so I set off to create one myself.

I started w/ a Teddy Bear body, cutting the arms off. Then I used the Ladybug body, face, wings & antennae from the Create a Critter cartridge. I had to snip here and there, but I think she turned out pretty nice. Heck, she's just tooooooo stinkin' cute --- is what she is. J

Here she is, in all her glory:-

I put her on a “thank you” card that I’ll be sending to a dear MB friend, who did something nice for me.  Hope she likes it!!
