Adding too much is something I think I will be guilty of with my next ones as I went to an Art store the other day and went mental with bits and bobs  bear_wacko including what I think must be pop dots that I have seen mentioned in Sonyas bid4bear ATC auctions

LOL... I got a variety of things... I got fun papers (I got a pack of a whole bunch of different size, color and texture paper), lots of card stock, and some doojamahickies.. plus a ribbon punch  (the paper punch that punches the holes for the ribbon to go through)... I have tons of ribbons and bows and such so I didnt buy that... LOL... another thing to spend money on!

I cant belive how much scrapbooking stuff there is!  I have never done scrapbooking before so I was a bit overwhelmed!!!!

Thank you Dilu!!! and thank you, Anne, for your bid!!! :hug:

They are Fiskars brand (which also makes scissors)... I am sure there are other brands but I like that the handle is rubberized!

Kim,
     Great ATC's!  See, you taught me something new, too.  I never knew there was a ribbon hole punch.  I'll be looking for one on my next trip to Michaels - thanks!

                                             Hugs,

                                             Brenda

How do you get the pictures of your bears small enough to fit on a 3 1/2 x 2 1/2 card?

Actually... there is a problem there.. these arent that small .... I didnt realize until I made a bunch the size that they need to be bear_wacko  These are actually 3X4.... I hope that doesnt stop people from wanting them... My next ones will be... but I didnt notice size limitations until today after I had already made 5 of them!
