Good Monday morning dear friends!!

Okay onto today's post...we begin a brand new challenge at Scrapbook Stamp Society...AND it's super easy..."Anything Goes"!!  Our fabulously talented sponsor is...as always...the wonderful Sherri Baldy!!!  For this card I worked with "Huggable Besties Bear" Image 4 and you can find it HERE!  I intended for this card to have a nautical theme but she's such a GIRL that I had to go feminine...actually she just took over AND I had my crafty Granddaughter Calla with me...SO...the ribbon, frills, feathers etc. just found a way onto my card...LOL!!

Here is what I came up with...

please click on the first image for a closer view/slideshow...
my card base was made using a Spellbinders star die cut...
