The kids and I were having fun making our own Build A Bears
Some new goodies arrived today and I couldn't wait to try them out. Look! Isn't she cute? She's made with the New Sizzix dies that will be in the SU! holiday mini catalog that starts Sept. 1. I made her in felt and think I'll be turning her into an iron on for my daughter. The heart and bow are from a sizzlit, which isn't meant to cut more than paper, but it gave a good enough dent to finish trimming them out with scissors. I can't wait to play around and make a whole family of bears - and in different materials too. Paper, magnetic, felt, foam, oooh! wonder if shrinky dink film would work? Ahh, the possibilities!
What a busy summer! Lots going on with SU! as well as being home with the kids. We're headed to the beach for a week, but wanted to leave you with a sample from my last class. I modified it from a card I found surfing the net but can't find the original designer. I love how you can have many different looks with these circles. 
This is the card I made for my son's birthday. He's 9 now so those "cute" cards don't quite cut it anymore. He took over my husband's ipod and had his cousin load a ton of songs on it for him to enjoy this summer. So when I saw Dawn Olchefske's ipod card I knew I had to case it! It was pretty easy, mostly punches and some stretchy cord. I thought this saying went well for the front and continued the Beatles song inside. He got a kick out of it so I'm happy.
