Build a Bear Tote Bags!

Didn’t the girls do a nice job on their tote bags last night?  I’m so bummed I didn’t get a picture of Hannah and Abby’s bags.  (Maybe mom can send me a picture??)  I love these bags!!  And I love the Build a Bear dies and Stampin’ Up!’s Alphabet Simple Letters too.

edited 10/15:  Here are Abby and Hannah’s bags!  Thanks for sending the pic!!

Boy Build a Bear gift bag and card

Here is one of the sets we made at my adult Build a Bear class a couple weeks ago.  Today I got to use it for my nephew’s birthday gift!  Happy 3rd birthday Brady!

Supplies: Beary Best Friends Beary Nice Wishes stamp sets; Black Stazon, Ballet Blue, Pumpkin Pie, Close to Cocoa, Creamy Caramel, and Chocolate Chip inks; Pawsitively Prints DSP, Kraft CS, Shimmery White CS, Chocolate Chip CS; pimpkin striped grosgrain ribbon; crystal effects

Mini Convention Swaps

Along with our mini Convention today was the option to swap cards with other participants.  These are the fantastic cards that were swapped!

The Build a Bear one created by Amy E uses the new Build a Bear die, SU! Kooky Spooky Die, and the Night & Day Specialty designer series paper.

The pheasant card uses the awesome color combination of Soft Suede and Rich Razzleberry along with the new Autumn Days stamp set and To the Nines Specialty Designer paper.  Therese created this great card.

The mummy one was created by Dawn B and showcases a lot of tearing and sponging and some punches to create the eyes and nose.  Scary, huh?!

And finally the crab slider card, created by Cheryl N, uses the retired Crab & Company stamp set.  It also uses the new Melon Mambo card stock and polka dot ribbon.  Cute!

Aren’t they ALL just AWESOME??  Nice job ladies!!!  And thank you so much to all who attended today – it was great fun!

Survey, Please?

If you have ever thought about or have actually stamped with me would you mind taking two minutes to fill out this survey?  I’m trying to figure out the best possible ways to serve you and meet your stamping needs.

Thank you so much!
