Grin and Bear It by Reneé Matarese

Hello Ai fans!

Today I'm sharing a card that  I cased from a close friend of Ai.  Sandy Allnock from Operation Write Home who Art Impressions occasionally partners with made THIS fantastic card.  I fell in love with the green and the bear.  I decided to create my own version of it.

I used Grizzly (Sku#P1886) and Grin & Bear It (Sku#E1908) on the front.  The paw prints are from the discontinued Mouthfuls Dog set.  I added claws to make them bear prints.

The beautiful script verse is Happy Birthday (Sku#E597)

I was inspired by JoAnn Sinclair's card.
