Rambling Rose Studio: Zoe & the Stampin' Up! Bear

Getting Creative...

There are days when I'm playing in my studio I can't work fast enough to finish what I'm working on to get on to the next idea. When that happens, time flies and I can be transported away from all my worries, "to do lists", etc. etc....It's an amazing feeling.

By posting some of these creations for you, it's my hope they will begin a process where you can experience this same creative force and come up with new ideas and lose your worries if only for a short period of time while enhancing your creative spirit.

Creating and the process of creating is better than any drug...and probably less expensive.

Zoe & the Stampin' Up! Bear

This little adorable bear was available at the national convention and I just had to have one. Zoe, however, took an immediate interest (dislike?) to my new stuffed bear. She'd spend long periods of time staring at it so I finally put the bear on the floor so she could see it. She was nice at first, but that didn't last. What really seemed to be bothering her was that daggum bow in the bear's ear. Once she got that out, she was totally satisfied with the bear being on the shelf.

I wanted to show all my stamping friends this pin made by using the Big Shot to cut out fabric flowers. I used fabric stiffener on each flower and let it dry before putting this pin together. What do you think? You can use the Big Shot to cut paper, thin metal, thin wood in addition to paper. I saw flower fabric pins at Talbott's this week that weren't nearly as pretty for $34! This pin cost less that $7. Just thought you'd like to see how the Big Shot can be used for projects other than paper.
