This is a bear.......a bear for Christmas - or actually just any kind of bear. I used mine for a Christmas card though. Added a little embossing, some Christmas patterned paper, a couple of tags from a Newton's Nook die and a bit of ribbon. I also used the Pre-Colored version of Jan's image.
NOTE:
Now, the reason I'm saying I'm bear-ly here..........All is good and I'm "here" just fine, but.........I'm going to be taking a break from blogging. This will be the only DT I'm staying on (mainly because I'm co-coordinator and Connie said I wasn't allowed to leave just yet)! I did drop the other design teams and am sad about that because both Pammie's Inky Pinkies and Jan's Digi's are both wonderful design teams to be on. I just feel like I have to take a break from it all right now and it wasn't fair to ask Pam and Jan to let me disappear for a while. I've been feeling like everything I do lately is looking the same so guess I'm a little burned out now and need a break! I'm sure I'll be back soon and also probably having all my cards look alike once again!!!!! Oh well............
But, I will be back on the first of each month for my card for the 2 Crafty Critter Crazy Challenges so it's not like you'll never see me again. Otherwise I just won't be around in Blogland. I will probably be posting a few cards on Instagram so check over there ever so often and you may see me.
Thanks for stopping by........

Now this card is just as cute as can be Lynn! I seriously love the red and green sentiment for the background and I love that darling teddy bear!! I completely understand the "burnt out" thing! Totally set that! Stepping away for a bit is great, but I'm so very happy to know that you'll at least be posting for 2CCC!! Sending you HUGS
Love the tag and adorable little bear design Lynn. Sorry to hear you will be taking break as I love seeing your designs. Stay well.
Hugs Diane
Oh my goodness! What a sweet SWEET card!
Oh my gosh, I will miss your work. I understand needing a break though. I took almost a year for health reasons. I finally got back into it, but only doing Qutlawz. I'm on two design teams, but they're on the same website. It's only one card a week so I've been able to handle it. Enjoy your time off. Lovely Christmas card, by the way!
Adorable card Lynn, I love that sweet bear image and fabulous tag design! You will be missed but I understand, enjoy your break and hopefully we will see you soon.
Hugs, Tammy
Wonderful card and image. I think its a good thing to give our crafting a break now and then - well it works for me anyway, or just swap to another craft for a little while, let the little grey cells recharge a bit. Stay Safe. Hugs Emmax
What a fabulous image Lynn, and beautifully used on the wonderful tags.
I will miss you in blogland - but take care of yourself. Burnout of any kind is not fun!
Stay safe
Blessings

Hi Lynn,
Your card is SUPER CUTE and your cards do not look the same.
Yet I totally understand that you need a break.
I will miss you a lot.
I hope wish you a happy time while you take a sabbatical.
Love,
Monica
I love your card Lynn, it just give me those warm and fuzzy feelings of Christmas, a perfect Christmas! That image is beautiful and I wouldn't have know it was precolored, looked like you colored it! The tags and Christmas paper work perfectly with this image. Love it! I so get the being burned out thing!!! You take all the time you need Lynn, you know everyone will be here for when you are feeling more creative, although I never think your cards look alike-they are all always so beautiful! At least you are doing it right and letting everyone know that you won't be around. Not like me, who just disappears! Hugs, Brenda
This is such a fun card with that sweet set of tags and great festive background paper! I totally get your choice to step back from blogging. I think most bloggers are going through the same thing - creative block. I feel the same way but try to stay with it otherwise I may never come back to it again. These are difficult times for all of us to live in and for me, it's been more like I'm existing than living anymore. Take care of yourself and I will look forward to whatever you make. I can't do Instagram without a smart phone, so I'll just stay with blogger :)
Aah, he is adorable, Lynn, and a sweet Christmas card! Enjoy your break and we'll be glad you see you when you get back to creating and blogging. For the record, I think your cards have stayed creative and fun and not boring at all!
Lynn,
THANK YOU for being and supporting me and my images as a DT member. You have a talent I appreciate and enjoyed. You will be missed. You are welcome back if your conditions change. Love how you showcased "Toyland Bear" on your festive holiday creation. Enjoy your time off!
Hugs,

Lynn, I love how you did the tags as part of the card! Such a sweet bear, too. Great paper choice. You are going to be missed at JDS but I'm so glad to still be working with you at 2CCC. :-D
Your card is adorable and love that sweet bear as a Christmas image! I sure hope your time off will leave you refreshed! It is always such a pleasure to s!see your wonderful cards in blogland or on IG! Bug Hugs
What an adorable image. Very creative layout and paper choice.
Your card is adorable, Lynn! I like the cute bear image and it's great to get another Christmas card made ahead; I posted one today too. I hear you on the blogging. I'm not going to be around much either; I have a lot of migraines and headaches so I'm scaling way back. Hope your break goes well and that you come back from your break even more inspired than ever! I wish you the best, my friend!
Beautiful car Lynn, the Teddy is so cute and I love your background..I will miss you Lynn, take care and try to come back when you are ready..
