A "Beary" Good TCP Tuesday and a Blog Hop!

I'm so excited to play along with this week's TCP Tuesday and to make it even better, I get to be a part of a super fun blog-hop introducing the new clear set A Beary Good Year!  Since this is a hop, you probably came from Toni's blog and after you check out the goodies here, be sure to head on over to visit Susan.  

Amy is the hostess (and the start of the hop) and she has chosen paper-piecing for this week's challenge. (Be sure to check out her blog for all of the TCP Tuesday details!) I LOOOOVE to paper-piece (it's my fave technique) so I was very happy to play along!  And the new Bear is so perfect for it!  Here's my first card (seriously, this new set is TO DIE FOR, you're gonna love it!)

See?? Isn't he so cute?! I decided to leave him white this time and just have his fun paper-pieced tummy be the focus along with the cute birthday accessories.

My second card is a little more simple and features the Bear with some Valentine hearts.  What do you think? Adorable, right? :)

P.S. Yes, I know the second card doesn't have paper-piecing on it but I wanted to show it anyway. :)

Aaahh, I love him! And speaking of the bear...be sure to check out Alma's blog because she's announcing the winner of the Name That Bear contest! That person will receive all the new TCP stamps for one whole year! Yippee!
