Special Guest Stamper!!

I have the distinct pleasure of introducing a special guest stamper on my blog today...my son, Dahlin!  Through a little coercing, he decided to stamp a card for a special friend for her birthday.  This Build-A-Bear is stamped on watercolor paper and colored with markers.  I'm not 100% sure of the marker colors. There were quite a few out on the table.  I do know there is some use of Bashful Blue and Pumpkin Pie...since those are the colors he chose for his background.  Notice the Crystal Effects he used on the balloon??  I have to say, his card turned out better than I ever expected!  I think he was pretty impressed, too.  Now if only I could get him interested in Mom's hobby more often :)

Sneak Peek Alert!! New Build-A-Bear Product Line

I can hardly contain my excitement!! I got my sneak peek order from the upcoming Holiday Mini Catalog being released on September 1 and oh how I LOVE IT ALL!! I tried to refrain from ordering everything but I totally could not resist the fun new Build-A-Bear line of stamps!

Aren't these litte guys just too cute?? I made this card with a combination of two new Build-A-Bear stamp sets. The clothes on my new friends and the card background are created with the coordinating Designer Series Paper that goes along with this new line. Isn't that paper pieced dress and matching shoes just too adorable? How about those denim looking shorts?

I'm in love and I know you will be too. September 1 just can't come soon enough!!
