A Beary Sweet Notepad - Crafty Creations Challenge

Hi Ya everyone,
  Quick post today - the challenge at Crafty Creations this week is to include a bear on your project.  Our sponsor this week is a very talented young girl who runs a shop called The Purple Panda.  She's an amazing budding artist and I was excited to use one of her very sweet images called Beary for my notebook. 

This is very simple, I used my scalloped circle nestable and cut out a lot of simple white paper with the largest scallop.  I then cut the same shape in a cereal box and my DCWV paper from my Linen Stack card stock twice and adhered these together.

I then took the Cinch and punched some holes through and put my rings in.  I added ribbon to the binding.  I colored my sweet bear with Copics and computer generated the sentiment. 
Oh my isn't he cute??

I also cut him out with my circle nestables and adhered him to the front. 

Oh my isn't he cute??

Ok, now the honest part - this notebook didn't work to well...the shape and the size of the binding made it hard to use like a real notepad...if I make one again - I'll use a square! LOL  Head over to Crafty Creations and join the fun - you'll have a beary good time!
Enjoy!
