Make a project using any row with your 3 favorite embellishments and technique - horizontal, vertical or diagonal. For example, "lace-distress-glitter" or "glitter-flower-paper piecing". You can even use "pearl-charm-glitter"! Please make sure you let us know on your blog post which row you've used.

Beary Sweet Designs Website Launched

Hello Beary Sweet Friends!  Sorry I haven't been around on these parts lately.  I promise to get back into the swing of things here shortly.  Summer has me busy with the kids, and with the opening of our new sister site, I've been busier than ever.

Click the logo to visit the new website!

What's that, you didn't here?  Well, here is a brief synopsis...  For those of you that have cutting machines, or a Cricut machine with compatible software, I am now designing my own cutting files.  I've been designing my own stuff for years, so I thought I'd share my files and designs with everyone.  I'm also creating DIGITAL STAMPS!!!  I've always been intregued with graphic arts (I believe I missed my true calling), and I've since learned how to convert my .wpc files to all the other formats out there for the various cutting machines on the market.  I'm just starting to learn MTC and SCAL, and I don't own, and very rarely every used a Cricut machine.  Sorry friends, I'm a Pazzles Chick all the way!


Our sister site is called BEARY SWEET DESIGNS.  You can check it out HERE!  We also have a facebook fan page that you can find HERE!  I can't produce files every day because I have other obligations that come first.  I do LOVE making them though.  It's my creative outlet when I can't get to my paper crafting supplies.  I do post a free file every Thursday too.

We would also love to see you share your creations on either of our Fan Pages, so be sure to upload those photos!

I'll have lots to catch you up on in the next few days.  I don't want to overwhelm your blog roll all at one time.  We even have a brand new Guest Designer that I am super excited to introduce (if you didn't already know).

Until next time!

Hello Beary Sweet Friends!  Happy Saturday to all of you.  This afternoon, we are kicking off our 4th of July Weekend Sale.  See coupon code below to save an additional 15% off your entire order at The Beary Scrap!  This coupon code is valid until July 5.  New items have been added to our clearance departments too, so go ahead and SAVE, SAVE, SAVE!

All orders placed this weekend will also be sending out FREE GIFT of a 30+ package of Prima Flowers that my kiddos have packaged up today.  There are various colors, so please, no special requests as I have limited quantities.  Flowers will be shipped with orders first come, first serve.

Free Tear Bear Eyes and Nose Cutting File

Well girls, you finally broke me.  I've spent a lot of time figuring out how to convert my file into usable formats for many cutting machine and software out there on the market.  Our Senior DT Member Patricia has been testing out my svg files over the past few nights.  Many of you have asked for clothes for your bears and I am happy to say that so far testing has gone VERY well and it looks like our sister site should be up and running by the end of the month.

In the meantime, I have created my Tear Bear eyes and noses pattern for our Traditional Teddy in svg, wpc, dxf, gsd, ai, pdf, jpg, and eps.  This file is available for FREE for a limited time.  You can download the file HERE.  Since this is my first public file, we haven't had any testing on dxf or gsd files, so you feedback is of the utmost importance.  Once I am confident of this file, we will be removing the pre-cuts from our website.  My kids have lost interest in packaging these and I simply do not have the time to do it any longer.

Get this FREE file while you can.  It is only available for a limited time and will be removed without notice.

Until Next Time!

Beary Sweet Challenge #27 is up...

Hello Beary Sweet Friends.  Happy JUNE!  One more day until my kids are done with school.  They don't go back until September 12, tentatively.  Our district is building a brand new high school and will be tearing down the old one right after school is out.  Hopefully the new school is complete on time so the kids aren't going back in October.  It's going to be a VERY long summer.

Welcome to our Beary Sweet Challenge #27 is up and running on the Challenge Blog

The design team sends out HUGE thanks to everyone who joined us for our Beary Sweet "Nature" challenge! We'll announce all the winners on Friday, June 3rd on the Challenge Blog. Thank you for your support!

Locals, Please Help Find Molly

Hello Beary Sweet Friends.  I'm here today with an special request for our local friends.  My dear friend from high school, Sherri, has lost her precious pup Molly.  Molly holds a very special place in her heart and is sick over her disappearance.

Molly was last seen near Frances Slocum State Park (Pennsylvania).  This was almost three weeks ago, so she can be anywhere now.  That was almost three weeks ago. She is all white and weighs about 13lbs. She had on a purple and white collar with tags and answers to Molly.   We are all hoping that someone has found her, and she is safe.  We are praying that someone will return her to her rightful owner.

Here are some pictures of Molly and her buddy Splash.

 

If anyone has seen Molly or has any information about her whereabouts, please email me at kimm@thebearyscrap.com.  Any help in bringing Molly back home is greatly appreciated.

Until Next Time
