It's recipe time...

...over at the Catch the Bug "Christmas in July" week long event.

I thought I would also add this to my collection of cards for the Beat the Christmas Rush (June) challenge over on Sue's blog - you are allowed to enter 5 cards per month...this makes 3 so far (must get another couple made before 24th).

Here is the recipe that folk have been asked to follow at CTB - oh, and as it is Friday, we get a freebie to play with...
...isn't this bear with candy cane just adorable...

 ...meet BenjBear!!!
Here he is all coloured and sitting proudly on his candy cane.
1) Tied up with a bow: I thought Benj should be a "Brit" and gave him a cheerful Union Flag bow at his neck. Don't you think he would be perfect for friends overseas...
2) Keepin warm: At least 3 layers it says - base card/white card/cream card/patterned paper - sorted!
3) Let it Sparkle: A row of flat-back gems down the white layer and a couple near the candy cane.

4) A little Eggnog: Use cream - done that - the base card is cream and so is one of the layers. In addition, Benj has been coloured a creamy beige.

That's the end of the Catch the Bug Christmas in July challenge for another year - it is always such fun...roll on 2014.

In the meantime, now that I've found Sue's "Beat the Christmas Rush" challenge I had better get cracking on making some more Christmas cards (sorry Suzie - LOL)...........................................
