Bear Hugz

Hi!
Today I am participating in the Simon Says Stamp Hop To It Blog Hop.
You should have arrive from the blog of incredible Nichol Magourik. If not, head to the Simon blog to start at the beginning.
The new release is adorable, and top of my love list is this cute bunny and bear stamp from the Abby's Spring Showers set. I really wanted to make these guys the star of the show, so I simply stamped them on some patterned papers, cut them out, and adhered them to a notecard which I had inked with the new Grid Stencil using Sea Glass Ink and a Mini Round Ink Blending Tool. (seriously - I find these SO much easier to use than the rectangle ones…) 
The sentiment is also from the Abby's Showers set. Cute! Bear Hugz by Lucy Abrams
Aren't Shari's illustrations just the sweetest EVER??
The papers I used are from Pebbles' Special Delivery Girl pad. And I'm just going to add that for the first time EVER, I have just ordered a duplicate of this pad. Usually I am bored of a pad by the time I've almost finished it, but not with this one. I have never loved a pad so much… and this heart paper just kills me. I have run out of so many of the patterns and NEED more. Love love love.
Bear Hugz 2 by Lucy Abrams
