FOREVER FRIENDS and SOME GREAT NEWS!

ROSES ARE RED CHALLENGE
IT'S ON NOW!


{and some additional good news at the bottom of the post}
    

If you pop over to FOREVER FRIENDS challenge blog, you will see some great cards from the Design Team using Roses are Red.  This works perfectly for me, as I am Culturally Jewish and our colors are Blue and White, like the Israel Flag, so for the ROSES ARE RED, I got to make a great "Christmas Entry" card and chose to use the gorgeous Christmas colors!  I loved that!  

So folks, this is my Christmas card...full of love, cuddles and hopes for a rebirth of Divine Love! I hope your Christmas Holiday Shopping is done! I'm a bit challenged too, needing to purchase 8 days worth of gifts!  You can't exactly "pick names" for that! Oh, I guess you could - maybe I could just give someone a latke and sour creme or a dreidel!  Hmmm.  Don't think it would go over well. 

OK enough about my holiday shopping dilemma...For the FOREVER FRIENDS CHALLENGE, You have two weeks (a fortnightly challenge) to enter the Roses are Red Challenge, so get out your red crafts and craft the night away!

Here is my card on their forum, as one of the FOREVER FRIENDS CHALLENGE BLOG Designers:

Oh Lewis!  Lewis is checking all my settings in the canvas shooting range for me!

"It's a go mom!"

They are the most cuddly delicious images that FOREVER FRIENDS produces.

The cards are found at Hallmark Card Shops too.

I fell in love with these two!  She just had to be Pink!  I stamped the mini tag with the word "{love}"

The first two lines, not an original.  

The second two lines, an original!  Do you like it?

Oh, here is Lewis again saying "like me better than her silly card.  I'm much more handsome!"

"and I move and play and cuddle ~ for real!"

Doing an unusual treatment to ribbon adds such a nice look and is SO simple to do.

If your challenge I submitted my card to is Christmas, please read my beginning paragraph on the blog. It will explain alot. I thank your very much and hope you will still put me in the running!

This is the completed project.  Both a card, and a tag - or a card and tag.  The tag can be taken out and put inside the card or the entire card can go in a larger envelope.  Many options.  What is important is those squishy adorable bears that you can only find at FOREVER FRIENDS!!!!
