BEARS ON PARADE

Stampin' Up!'s Build-A-Bear dies are really addictive - I can't put them down!

Here's a couple that I came up with over the weekend ...

You've seen these two Hallowe'en bears, but the one on the left is new:  a Team Canada bear for the upcoming Winter Olympics in Vancouver, BC

I made the scarf and hat from the two jacket pieces on the "Beary Essentials" clothing die, and the tiny maple leaf stamp is an old purchase I made when I was in Scouting (company unknown). I couldn't decide whether to make him some boots or skates - but isn't he cute?

****************************

My second attempt took a little more time - this couple are from the 50's (she's wearing his sweater, 'cause they're going steady - aah, the good old days .. why don't kids like using that phrase anymore?)

I made the pants from Night of Navy card stock to look like a pair of jeans, and I cut the LP record with the Circle Cutter.

*****************************

And finally, here are the projects we made at Sunday's Mom & Me class. It was so cute: the kids showed up with their stuffed friends from the Build-a-Bear store.

They had a lot of fun making and dressing their paper bears using the Big Shot die cutter. 

cheers
