The Let's Cele-bear-ate challenge gallery is filled with the cutest bear cards and cards interpreting the sketch! Thank you for the inspiration again this week, so many fun ideas for Sending and delivering hugs.

The winner of the Let's Cele-bear-ate challenge is this absolutely adorable card from Vicky.

Her card has so many elements from the challenge photo, but to create them, she masked, drew, designed, snipped, and YES, turned a cup upside down, that's inspiring for sure!  Everything about your card stretches the imagination and fun of creating and sending paper hugs, thank you for sharing with us.

The honorable mention of the Let's Cele-bear-ate challenge is this

 creative and fun card from Tonil

Her sweet, wintery scene, and adorable bear with his argyle cup, 

feel a bit like a cherished advertisement, a warm, welcome feeling.
