Allsorts monochrome/BBTB number challenges

This was a fun card to make because it is for my newest granddaughter for Christmas. She will be four months old by Christmas and won't know what's going on but it can go in her scrapbook. I followed the sketch from Allsorts and did the card in monochromatic blues. Now that I finished I decided I should have done a pink card, but the polar bear on the blue was too cute to pass up.

I tried something new on this polar bear--Fun Flock. Pretty cool stuff. It feels so soft and fuzzy now. My snowflakes came from Cricut's Don Juan cartridge and they're covered with Martha Stewart glitter. The word Christmas is from the Cricut Beyond Birthdays cartridge and it's also got glitter on it.

The number (1st) at the top of the card is a digital stamp from The Cutting Cafe

(www.thecuttingcafe.com). I will enter this card into the Bitten By The Bug blog's number challenge. My card is embellished with some clear rhinestones and the Let It Snow ribbon that I just got last week at a local scrapbook store. I'm really sad because the store is going out of business. I don't think they can compete in this economy with the big chain stores. I will miss the personalized service. The scallops on this card are from a Fiskars punch.
