Popcorn bear


When I saw Caroles food challenge for the dirty dares I knew I wanted to use this popcorn bear from Rubbernecker. I also knew I wanted to include popcorn so Tracys in the bag challenge was perfect. Now I have a confession...Im box challenged. As long as I have a template Im fine but to sit down with something and make a box for it...uh No!LOL! So I had to call my stamping partner in crime Mom to help me out with this one!LOL! The box holds two mini bags of popcorn. I decided this would also be a good image for Kims paper tole challenge since he's hanging out of the bag. So I stamped 3 images. First I popped up his arms and the pieces of popcorn on the sides and bottom of the bag. Then I popped up his head then the popcorn on top of his head so he looks like hes really poppin out at you!LOL! Since popcorn is written on the side of the bag I thought it would work for Lauras ABC challenge. Yes, I know its a stretch but I am actually very limited on sentiments just ask my Mom I steal hers all the time!LOL! Amys challenge is animals and since my image has an adorable bear he works for it too. Since the image is so big I just used a couple of brads and ribbon to finish off my box. Before I give this to someone I might replace one of the packs of popcorn with a movie and it can be a movie night gift.

What a super cute idea Shannon! I love how this turned out! What a cute bear and you know how I am about popping stuff...it's a must. I'm the same way about creating boxes...I have to have a template of some sort or I'm lost:) I think I may have to case this idea for some friends of mine. First, I'll have to find that stamp though and a template that will work:)))
