To make this adorable creation I used The Sleeping Bag Bear from The Campin' Crazy Pattern, but I changed it up a bit, I made my Bear out of Mulberry Paper and made it into a Tear Bear, and also made my Bear into a Girl.

Good Evening to all my followers! I just wanted to post a few pictures of some new projects I have made in the past couple weeks with Paper Piecing's by Nikki's patterns!!! The first project I made was for June 1st, I choose the pattern "Birthday Bash" , but added my own little touches to it. For the Bear

Body I used Mulberry Paper to turn him into a Tear Bear and then I added the cute sticker to the present to add just a little more of a finishing touch to it. You can find the Birthday Bash Pattern here: ( http://www.paperpiecingsbynikki.com/item_134/Birthday-Bash-PatternImage-Set.htm)

For the second project I made for June 8th, I choose the pattern "The Kitten in the Hat", and made him into a Tear Critter by using Mulberry Paper again.You can find The Kitten in the Hat Pattern here:(http://www.paperpiecingsbynikki.com/item_118/Kitten-in-the-Hat.htm)

Well thats it for tonight but you can expect to see a lot more Projects coming from : http://www.paperpiecingsbynikki.com/!

Welcome to my Blog!!

Hello everyone, I want to welcome you all to my Blog " Handmade Paper Crafts By Me"!! I will be posting all the projects I make, such as Challenge Projects, Cards, Layouts, Paper Piecings and my Favorite... Tear Bears!!! I will try to post everyday something even if it is not a picture!! So a little about me.... I am a 30 year old mother of 2 beautiful children Monica who is 9 and Antoine who is 8. They are the stars in my life. I am also engaged to a wonderful man Juan. He is the best thing to ever happen to me. I started crafting 2 years ago, just starting out as a hobby making Tear Bears and it has grown into a business now LOL!! I now have a ArtFire Store, an Etsy Store and I also sell my creations on Facebook. I still mostly to Paperpiecings and Tear Bears but I want to go outside my box and try new things. I am hoping to get more into Digi Stamps and Layouts and hope to enter lots of challenges this year as well as hopefully join another Design Team on top of the one I am on!! I am also on the Design Team for Kadoodle Bug Designs http://www.kadoodlebugdesigns.com/!! I love the owner Melissa, she makes wonderful patterns go check them out if you haven't already!! My Facebook Page is https://www.facebook.com/handmadetearcritters go check out all my creations!! I will also post my link to my Etsy Page http://www.etsy.com/shop/HandmadeCritters. So come check me out sometime!! The Picture I am posting with this is my latest creation Honey Dew Bear!! I made her from a pattern I got at Kadoodle Bug Designs!! I switched it up and changed it into my own pattern so it doesn't look like everyone else's. I like to be unique!! I hope everyone has a Great Day and I look forward to hearing from you all and posting lots of stuff to share with you!!!

Susanne
