Beary Love -- for Fitztown

Happy Monday, everyone! I'm joining the talented Fitztown design team as a guest designer today.  The challenge that starts today is one of my favorites -- shaped cards.  I adore shaped cards! So, this was a fun challenge for me to participate in!
Here's my shaped card, using Fitztown image, Valentine 13:


I colored the image with Copic markers, then fussy cut it, and mounted it with 3D foam squares.  The card design is a cutting file from The Cutting Cafe, called "Heart Shaped Card 2" set.  The papers and bling are from Close To My Heart. The crinkle ribbon is the new Tie Dye ribbon from 3 Girl JAM.
I have a giveaway going on, celebrating several events: I wrote my 500th blog post today, I'm close to 400 followers on my blog, and I have 100 "likes" on my Facebook page, Muddy Paws & Inky Fingers.  To celebrate all those things,  I'm having a giveaway:  I have some Timeless Twine, some 3 Girl JAM ribbon, a Unity stamp set, a Close To My Heart stamp set, some Pinque Peacock embellishments, a 6x6 paper pad, and various embellishments that I need a home for. I also have two generous sponsors:  DigiStamps4Joy is giving a $10 gift certificate to the store, and The Cutting Cafe is offering any 3 sets.  WOW! If you'd like to be eligible to win, please leave a comment on any of my blog posts between now and July 6.  I'll draw a winner on my birthday.  It's my day, and you get the present!  I'd also love it if you "like" my Facebook page and follow my blog, if you don't already. 
Have fun!
Make sure to check out the Fitztown Challenge blog to see the other inspiration from the design team, and then make your own shaped card to enter the challenge.  You'll have 2 weeks.  Ready, set, GO!

  29. I'm a sucker for teddy bears anyhow, so this is an adorable image, which you've colored up wonderfully, and the card design is also cute. Definitely a wonderful card for a child, and I come to you as a contributer at SAS4Kids, a great organization. A most happy and wonderful birthday to you, Julie -- have a most special day!
