Catherine was inspired by a Christmas card that Marine created for the introduction to Ugly and Bright! She put her own spin on the original by changing the season, creating an amazing beachy, summer design!


In addition to the Ugly and Bright bear, Catherine featured bears from Snow Much Fun and Den Sweet Den! I love the little sleeping bear getting some sun on the sandy beach! She created the beach scene with Stitched Wave Borders, Hammock and Trees and Stitched Hillside Borders. Then she added Sandy Beach Accents and more beachy cuteness with On the Beach and Beachy Christmas. The bear is wearing a bucket hat from Dad + Me and the luggage is found in Car Critters Road Trip Add-On!


She used Reveal Wheel and clear acetate to make the spinning wheel of summer t-shirts! As the wheel turns the bear changes his outfit! So clever!


Catherine used the plain sweater from Ugly and Bright for the summer t-shirts. She stamped a hibiscus from Toucan Do It on one and the island from Plan on It on another one. The third t-shirt is paper-pieced using Gummy Bears paper.


And here is Marine’s brilliant Christmas card that inspired Catherine’s amazing summer-themed interactive card!

I love your amazing card, Catherine! Thanks so much for the inspiration!

It’s the last weekend for this challenge and Karin has some super fun inspiration for you! She says, I am Swedish, and I think Lapland with the Sami people, the Nordic light and the vast plains, the mountains and the reindeer are unique.


Karin created the mountains and the reindeer using Over the Mountain Borders. She used Distress ink to create the Northern Lights, then she used the stitched rectangle from Window Scene: Spring to frame her scene.


Next, she added the deer from Ugly and Bright, using Copic markers for the colorful sweater. Then she die-cut Henry’s ABCs to spell her country, giving the letters a pretty ombré look!

Your design is so much fun, Karin! Thank you for sharing your inspiration with us!

Remember it’s the last weekend for this challenge! We will be back on Monday with fresh, new inspiration for you!
