Jolly good post-it note holder

On Thursday Teddy Bo launched their first Teddy Bo's Top Tip Thursday, (say that fast after a few vodka and cokes) so off I pootled to Tesco to get myself a post-it not block.  They were only 40pence so I got two, just in case.  In case of what I'm not sure, but definitely something. 

I began by following Jills brilliant instructions.  I already had Jolly the G Jiraffe printed off so thought I would go with a whole Giraffe theme. *And here comes my Top Tip* I didn't have any giraffe papers so I googled giraffe wallpaper and printed this great paper off.

Jolly is coloured with copic's.   The edges of all pieces of card have been edged in rusty hinge distress ink.  I used raffia ribbon from Wild Orchid Crafts in a few strips under the image.  The card candi added to the corners is by Craftwork cards.  The three tickets are Tim Holtz one's, I choose word's that I associate with Teddy Bo.

My trio of Teddy Bo

This week I have made 3 Teddy Bo cards to celebrate my brothers wedding anniversary.  I got a text today to say they all arrived and they think they are beautiful.

I think that Teddy Bo digi stamps are a dream image to colour and each of the cards has a different brown copic colour combo for the fur to mix things up a bit.

Here are my three cards altogether :

The one on the left uses the "Hatched, matched and dispatched" image.  I used my make the cut software to make the shaped card and I have attached mini cans to the bumper of the car using bakers twine.  You can see full details of this card here.

The middle card took me quite a while to make.  Not only did I colour the image, I made it into a shaker card with gold hearts inside.  I then cut a frame on my cricut and using gilding flakes to gild the whole frame.

More details on this card can be found here.

And finally is the card my Brother will give his wife on Monday.  The sentiment reads "Thank you for choosing me".  I love the torn rose that I added to the card.  They are a great thing to make whilst watching tv as they are very simple to make.  You can find details of my final card here. 

I am entering this set into the following two challenges.  Technically you are meant to just re-post one card but I wanted to show you all my three cards together.  I hope thats ok.  My reason for choosing these cards is that I have had some of the kindest comments for these cards and it makes me very proud of my colouring skills.
