I'm a little late in showing you this particular Sneaky Peek, but better late than never, right? I incorporated this week's COLOR THROWDOWN challenge, as well, which is hosted by everyone's favorite Hammer (besides M.C.), Tammy Hershberger. Here's what Tammy's throwing down this week...
And here's what I made with it using the adorable new BEARING GIFTS set...
Q: Isn't she a cutie full of charm?
A: Yes, yes she is. :)
Check out the brand new CIRCUS BORDER along the side and dressed up with a bit o' bling. Fun stuff! Here's a close-up of Missy Bear, taken in direct sunlight so that you can kinda see the shimmer on her bow...

Oh so pretty. Love the shimmery shine and the mix of patterns, especially the PLAID! I love this longer format, it's perfect for money or a check!

I love the long rectangular shape of this and all the paper piecing on big bear. A fun color combo too!

Love your design Carole! Everything about this card is stunning!
So sweet of you to mention Steve Jobs, I was in the Apple store here in town that day and then came home to find that he had passed. Although I never knew him personally I think any Apple lover felt like they knew him and appreciates how he has brightened our world.
