Build-a-Bear - Bath time fun

While at my sister and Brother in-laws over the weekend, I was giving my youngest son Chance (2 1/2) and his cousin Colton ( 3) a bath. Colton had a foam alphabet to use in the tub, the letters stuck to the tub when they were wet. This made me think..... I have fun foam, and I have Build-a-Bear sizzix dies. So today I gathered up my fun foam, It really is FUN!, and got out my dies. I was a little bummed to find that I did not have any brown foam in my stash...Oh well bears are white too!


I cut out my bears and then all my clothes. There is a little sleeve in with the clothes but it is such a little piece I will not let the little ones play with it.






I had to check out my work ... so off the the bathroom I went! All I need now is water, and wa-la! ( is that how you spell that???) They stick!!!
okay thanks to all who helped this spelling challenaged person ( thank goodness for spell check, too bad it's not always right!) So voila’
they sitck!! lol

I just love how this works! I know that Chance is going to have lots of fun playing with these! And even if he doesn't I know that I will!!

I don't have it pictured but to store these cute little guys and all the clothes I am using an empty stamp set box.

If you are in Florence, OR please come to my Mystery Hostess Workshop on Sept. 26th for more great Build-a-Bear ideas!

Until next time,

My digital Studio!!

I just want to share with you what I whipped up last night. Took me longer to figure out how to share the page than it did to make it!

If you are interested in My digital Studio, I will be teaching a little class on how to use it here in Florence, Oregon, along with Build a bear on Sat Sept 26th. You can always keep up to date with my classes by checking out my Stampin' Up! website. More info on that event will be posted in the next week.

Here is my very first digital Scrapbook page!

Thanks for looking!

Shimmer paint!!

Wow what a busy week! 3 of my boys are back in school, YEAH!! Now I might just have time to stamp and share each day!!

ANY way back to the card. I LOVE the new Shimmer paint. On this card I used Platinum item #116807 ($5.95). Don't you just love how it shimmers!!


I did double duty with this card I did ways to use it challenge 235. RED. you can see the whole gallery here . And I promised I would use the Simmer paint this week on a card.

I used Delightful Decorations and Teeny Tiny Wishes. I used a Sponge dauber to apply the simmer paint to my stamps before stamping. You will want to let the image dry for a minute or so before you punch it out.

Also used on this card was Day and Night DSP and whisper white Taffata ribbon. I used the scallop edge punch, ornament punch, corner rounder, word window and designer label punch.

Card stock is just Real read and Basic Black. Also I used Silver cording and silver brads.

thanks for looking,

411 challange 115

This is the card I made for Stampin 411's challenge 115.

WOW what a fun challenge. And boy did I need the push. I have been in a bit of a rut lately. I think it has to do with all the stuff going on, the garden is ready and I have lots of canning to do. I have been feeling pretty guilty when I go into my stamp room knowing I should be in the kitchen working on Beans, or Pickles or oinions or carrots you get the picture!


But I decided that today I would stamp before I got to work in the kitchen, and I am super glad that I did!
I had so much fun making this card and I am SO LOVING this new set from the mini catty! Twick or Tweet item # 116497 for $18.95 and the new DSP Night and Day #116768 for $11.95 this paper comes with 2 black polka dot window sheets! How cool is that!


I used Basic Black cs for the card base, then layered that with Pumpkin Pie cs. I then used a layer of DSP from Night and Day ( 2 3/4 x 3/ 3/4) I love the swirls on this piece! I used a piece of Basic Black (2 3/4 x 5) and layered that with Pumpkin Pie again and then the DSP with writing from Night and Day.

I Stamped the Jack-o-lantern's on another piece of the Dsp with writing in Craft Basic black, then I sprinkled on iridescent ice Embossing powder. Heated that up with the Heat gun and WOW! I do love glitter! I used my Blender pens to color them in with Pumpkin Pie ink, and then I cut them out.





I Stamped them again using the Craft Basic Black onto the DSP for the card, and then used Dimensionals to pop them up.
I tied a piece of Black Grosgrain ribbon around that layer and then used Dimensionals to pop the whole thing up.

I was going to add a sentiment to the card, but I decided that I liked it just the way it was!
I can't wait to play more with this set, but must get back to the kitchen for now!

thanks for stopping by,
Jennifer Jones

I wish I could be as creative as some people! Stampin' Up! had a contest at Convention for the best commercial. I was unable to attend convention this year, but this is the winner. I wish I could have seen all the others as I am sure that they were all great!
I hope you enjoy this!
