Cardinals Build a Bear!

I thought I was being so clever coming up with this little baseball build a bear for my scrapbook layout! It turns out that people are getting really creative with these bears and dressing them up on www.splitcoaststampers.com - but I really did come up with this one for the Sept build a bear night - Promise!!
I thought it was a cute idea b/c I am a cardinal nut - and b/c Cardinal baseball is so popular with my friends and fellow stampers! Anyway - #5 is for Pujols!!!
Go cards!

Build a bear birthday

I was trying to make a build a bear b-day card, but these bears are pretty big and pretty much take up the whole fron of a standard A2 card - so instead of adding a birthday hat like I had hoped I came up with birthday balloons! These little balloons are colored with a spica glitter pen for some bling - and popped up on dimensionals for a lttle depth. Dressing him up in designer paper was fun toooo!Cute huh?

Build a Bear Workshop

I have been having soooo much fun with these little bears and dressing them up!! I even had a stamp night based on the BAB workshop idea. This is the first card we made at the workshop. Everyone said how fun it was to dress these little bears up! I can't wait until this months stamp night b/c the Halloween/pumpkin die is on its way and we can play with that on the bears!!!!
This little bear is dressed up in designer paper/ and meant to be a birthday bear - but with the right sentiment it could be for just about any occasion.

My card

I never posted my cute little card either! I swear - time just flies by!!!
The card I designed for the group uses the Build-A-Bear Sizzix die that is in the SU! mini catalog. I have had sooooo much fun dressing up this little bear that I had a Build-a-Bear stamp night for my stamp club. Those pics will follow tom. night!
Isn't she a cutie!!! Since the theme for our stamping get-together was birthday's I had to give the card a birthday feel. That is why she is holding a cupcake.
BTW - the bear is wearing the new colors in the SU catalog - Razzleberry and the background paper is the new color soft suede.
Cute huh?

OMG!!!

I can't believe I didn't upload pics from Julie's card!!!! It was my favorite!!!! This is a popular flowerpot card shown on splitcoaststampers.com. Julie sells the nestablitlites for the flowers and leaves on her website www.scrapbookstoreatyourdoor.com. Go check out her online store - it is awesome!!!!

Sandy's card

Sandy's card was the cutest little violin image that was colored and used lots of various colors to bring the image to life. She used fun flock on the image - which I have never used. This was fun to try!
Thanks Sandy!
