Teddy Bo Tuesday

Good Morning to you.........how cold is it at your house?!?! No snow here at Teddy Bo Towers but it's mighty 'nippy' on the old fingers and toes!!!  Keep safe out there if your snow is bad.

No release this week (the release next week will be the coloured versions of last week's release) but Colette made a gorgeous card that we thought would cheer everyone up as it's got SPRING 'written' all over it!  Isn't it wonderful?!  Not long now until the weather turns and the nights start getting longer again!!!! ;O)

Quick update on the Blog Hop.......I managed to confuse things (happens a LOT) so the blog hop will finish this FRIDAY (18th) January at UK midnight time....so pop along here to start the blog hop to be in with a chance of winning £20 worth of digi stamps from Teddy Bo & Co.

We've also got a new and exciting adventure starting out for Teddy Bo & Co...it's called

'Teddy Bo Threads'

this is the place you'll find all manner of Teddy Bo & Co 'merchandise'.....why don't you pop along and 'like' our Facebook page so that you are kept up-to-date with what's going on........We'll have a Launch Competition with great prizes to be won.

Remember also that our Card challenge now lasts for a whole month...so you've still got plenty of time to get your card made for that...x

Teddy Bo Tuesday

Happy Happy 2013 to you all!!!

 

This is our first Teddy Bo Tuesday of the year and it's a belter!!
Lots to see and read....news of a Birthday Blog Hop later this week and of course wonderful inspiration from the Design Team.

We hope that you had a wonderful Christmas and relaxing holiday period and that you're raring to go for 2013....I know we all are at Teddy Bo Towers....the girls are going mad decorating the Great Hall for our Birthday Bash on Friday...I'm sure you'll read something about it on Fairytale Friday this week!!!

SO....what's NEW this week!?!?

 

 

We've also got a STOCK CLEARANCE and we've got £10 and £15 lucky bags in the store.....guaranteed bargains....need to get rid of the stock so that we can get the mugs in the towers (MR TeddyBo won't let them in otherwise) so that you can have a Teddy Bo mug for your morning coffee!!! ;O)

 

 

 

 

Now...as we're going fortnightly with our releases (once a month for line-art followed two weeks later with the coloured versions) both of our teams decided to join together for this release to showcase their wonderful cards...x

Clairebears x  

I have used TeddyBo_237 for this card, I have coloured him with pencils and used bits and pieces from my scrapbox. I have also added a few buttons too - the Happy Birthday Stamp have stamped on a bit of the blue paper and layered it up onto a black circle which I have just put a few dots around for interest.

 I have used TeddyBea_251 for this card, I have coloured her with pencils and once again used bits and pieces from my scrapbox too. I have added a few pearls and a gorgeous gold and red button in the corner. Once again I have used scraps for the Happy Birthday Stamp.

I have used TeddyBea_252 and TeddyBo_252)_Fence (both are PNG files) I have imported them into Craft Artist 2 and using the Painted Backyard Digi Kit from Daisy Trail, and a free calender download I got with one of my magazines I have made this gorgeous calender for January. I have coloured Bea and the fence in with my pencils. I love it and cant wait to have it on my desk at work!

Teddy Bo Tuesday

A very good morning to you today...I hope that this Teddy Bo Tuesday finds you well!??!
 
Winter is definitely making it's presence felt here in Scotland.....if it's not the rain, it's the wind, or the ice....not long now until our first proper fall of snow.  We've been very fortunate though as the two girls we had as guest designers have agreed to stay on with us so Teddy Bo Towers is filling up again nicely.
 
SO..what's new in the store this week!?!?!
 
Well...not only have we got new graphics but Gayle has also been busy with some other crafting materials and has made some polymer Bos and Beas...they are now available to order in the store and you can choose from over 500+ designs, you just nominate what style you want and in what colours and Gayle will hand make your bear from scratch...they are NOT made from molds, Gayle makes the armature and then builds the bear up round this 'skeleton'.  She's also putting the finishing touches to some plush collectable versions of Bo...with Bea to follow soon.......hopefully they will be available to view in the next couple of weeks.

I have used Teddybea-249 and coloured her with promakers, I have added the sentiment in Craft Artist (somehow!) and layered her up onto embossed card that I have used Snowman folder on, I have then just inked round the edge with Gathered Twigs from Tim Holtz - I have simply added a bit of string and placed on a kraft card blank.
