What a great combination. I just love the Build A Bear products that Stampin' Up! has in it's new Holiday Mini Catalog. I didn't think that I would buy these stamps and Big Shot Dies as I don't have any children at home anymore but the more I have thought about it......I just have to have them. Order is on the way. I will post my fabulous Build A Bear/Stampin' Up! creations as soon as I can.

 I found these little notebooks at Michael's dollar spot. They had a great variety of colors. So I decided to Alter them a bit with Stampin Up Designer Series Paper and some punches. All I did was cut a square to cover the front and back. I adhered it with SU stick strip. Then made a belly band and added a scalloped punch with a monogram. Great way to make it personalized. If you would

 Chloe, my 13 year old border collie, has come to southern utah to live with rick and I. She has been living with my daughter for the past few years. She has sooooooo much hair and it sheds like crazy. So I took her to get a haircut. I had the groomer take her hair down to the skin because it gets so STINKIN hot here. She does seem a little happier without all of the hair and even looks 10

Click on picture for a closer view......When my kids were small I really enjoyed sewing and applique. Not so much anymore. In Feb. this year I ran across an old fabric applique wall hanging book that I loved to use way back when. I had an Ahhhh Ha moment and decided to try making some wall hangings or scrapbook pages using the idea. So I set out and resized the patterns to work on 12 x 12

I will probably do some backtracking by adding a few things that have gone one so far this year until I get some worthwhile things on the blog.
