As promised, here's a lookie-loo at another one of the upcoming Kim Hughes Collection sets CHF is releasing on January 6th:
It's called 'Bear Hugs' and it features adorable outdoorsy/camping themed images. One of the things I loved best about Kim's sets is how you can combine so many of them -- they're sized to do that, you know. For example, the little stump and squirrel? That's from the 'Spring Trees' set I showed you yesterday. And just think how much fun some of Kim's other critters (like Chloe the Deer or Ed the Moose) could have hanging out with these new stamps on the block?! Scenes galore!
Since I was in the mood to make a Valentine with Jen's Sketch For You To Try for this week, I set this tiny scene in the Redwood Forest.
(A knee-slapper, huh?! I gotta million of 'em... but I'll spare you.)
Be sure to visit my buddies Shannan, Susan, Amy R. and Amy S. to see what post-holiday perfection they've concocted with this sketch, then skedaddle on over to Jen's to get the sketch and find samples from Jen herself and December's SFYTT Guest Designer, Lynn Put. (Lynn's kind of an over-achiever, btw -- she also has another SFYTT sample for your viewing pleasure on her blog!)
Don't worry about tearing down the holiday decorations today -- instead, come play with us! And when you upload your card with this sketch to your SCS gallery, be sure to use 'SFYTT' as one of your keywords so we can give you props.
Have a great weekend!

Bwahahahaha...the Redwood Forest, that's a good one CB! ;)
Seriously though, this is over-adorable, and you know how much I love her stuff and your stuff as well! The pieced bear is just perfect...almost looks like he got a new pair of pj's for Christmas and came out of hibernation a bit early just to show them off!
Happy New Year!
