A Beary Good Year From TCP…

It's TCP Tuesday and it’s a blog hop! There’s a lot going on with this post, so let’s get started!
First, since it is TCP Tuesday there is a challenge for you. Amy Rohl is this week’s Hipster Hostess with the Mostess and she challenging you to paper piece on your project. You can get all of the challenge details HERE on her blog. She is also the start of the blog hop, so be sure to start there. You should have come here from Jenny’s blog and when you leave here, you will hop on over to Tracy’s blog {I’ll link her at the bottom of the post, too}
This is my take on the challenge. I paper pieced “Who’s That Bear” {more on that in a sec} and made him into a Valentine Cupid…
A couple detail shots…
This is the bear from the new set, A BEARY GOOD YEAR, which is available on February 9th from TCP. I love the versatility of the set and all the creative projects that you can do with it. It’s one of those “must haves” because you can use it every month. It features the bear whose name will be revealed tomorrow. The person that names the bear will win a whole lotta free stamps from TCP…a year’s worth to be exact! Are you the lucky winner? Be sure to check out Alma’s blog for the name reveal and winner announcement!
Don’t forget to go onto Tracy’s blog to keep along the hop.
Here’s another Valentine’s card using “that bear” from A BEARY GOOD YEAR…
There’s a lot more options than just Valentine’s Day with this little guy, but I thought that I would show both of them in the same post. Like the chunky stripe ribbon? You can get it HERE from TCP. Ok, I’m signing off now so I can eat a little more dinner and then head of to bed before I am summoned for a middle of the night feeding.

Just love, love these cards. They are wonderfully detailed and the longer you look at them, the more you find to love.

Just LOVE that wide striped ribbon on the second card and the bling round the scallops. Great job on both.

very cute, love the wings on him and the embossed heart on the first one, the gems on the scallop are a neat touch on the second!

Jen, both are just sweet as pie, but the first one…I just love the date stamp and wings–it’s a great scrappy look!
Ok, so I never would’ve thought to pair the coffee with a v-day card, but I’m totally using your idea for DH…loves his coffee!

That is an adorable stamp and I love how you changed it up in the different cards!

I love that bear! I missed the “Name Him or Her” contest but I think it’s a Henry/Henrietta for sure. LOL
Both cards are such adorable pieces. I love the colors and how they are perfect for a man valentine.

Oh wow, those two cards are fan-tastic! Love the wings on the first bear and the fancy heart and the Tour Eiffel! Love the sentiment on the second one - clever!
Nicely played!
