Gee, I can still hear that Sesame Street theme song in my head like it was yesterday, when I would sit and watch my favourite characters... WAIT it was yesterday LOL! That is what life is like with a two year old. I'm sure many of you can still hear that song too, whether it be from your childhood or from your children's. Everybody loves Sesame Street right?! Well I sure hope so because ever since I made the Elmo and Cookie Monster cards that I posted on May 19th ( sorry haven't figured out how to link previous posts yet-promise I'll get better!) my daughter and well I admit myself too, have been obsessed with recreating the whole gang. So here is BERT in all his glory! Of course I brought out my trusty Big Shot and used the Scallop Oval Frame die, using the oval part for his egg shaped head. Can't you just hear that annoying but cute laugh and see that obnoxious striped shirt when looking at his face? Then there were all of Stampin' Up's great punches involved. Try looking at your punches in a new way you'll be surprised what you can create with different shapes. All in all the whole production was not to hard to create. Now Big Bird was another story, but you will have to wait to see that one!!!!!
Stamps: On Your Birthday
Ink: Many marvelous markers Real Red and Brilliant Blue
CardStock: Kiwi Kiss Textured, Real Red Textured, Pacific Point, Tangerine Tango, So Saffron, Basic Black, Whisper White, Cameo Coral, Real Red, Pumpkin Pie.
Punches: 1/2' ,1' and 1 3/4' Circles, Large Oval, Scalloped Oval, Five Petal, Word Window.
SO Remember I am still offering you the chance to win my MYSTERY BLOG CANDY! Just 3 more days until my BIG announcement, you can hardly wait -RIGHT?!!!!!! So here is the QUESTION of the day:
"Who is/was YOUR favourite Sesame Street Character?"
(I know not stamping related but I'm giddy from finally finishing BIG BIRD!)
Mine was Oscar. I know I was a strange kid, but I remember feeling sorry for him for being so grouchy and thought he could use a friend!
Can't wait to read yours, remember to leave your answer in the comments section of this post. The more questions you answer the better your chances are for SOMETHING FREE! If you haven't already answered the other questions they start with my post on May 23.
Surprising enough I've never been a big Sesame Street fan...it was one show that DS never cared for either. Go figure!! I guess if I had to chose a favorite character, I'd say Elmo. I loved the first "Tickle Me Elmo" toy that they used to have.

I love Snuffleupagas aka Snuffy! He is just too cute with his big eyes!

I would pick Oscar as well....mostly because I was so intrigued by all the things he had in his can. Like, how does an elephant, swimming pool and all the other stuff fit in there? I also loved Barclay the big orange dog...how did he disappear behind those trees like that???? I always thought his name was Broccoli.
Thanks for making me remember all that!!! Seems like yesterday.....

It's Elmo for me! I just love the way he makes you want to snuggle up with him.

I wish I could be more original, but Snuffaluffagus was mine too. Although Grover was pretty cool too, I loved the 'SuperGrover' sketches.

Grover rocked it for me.

My favorite Sesame Street Character is Oscar. Several years ago (the daughters that went with me are all mothers now) my daughters and I had the opportunity to go backstage at a Sesame Street Live event. I mentioned that Oscar was my favorite character, he heard me say it and gave me a hug.

As a child I loved the big dog...I can't even think of his name. When my 14 year old was 1 she was a big Elmo fan, that was the year of the Tickle Me Elmo mania. We still have that Elmo, her 2 and 4 year old sisters have it now.

Not having any kids, Sesame Street didn't fly high on my radar screen, however if I have to choose a character I'd say Big Bird. I loved all those bright yellow plumes and the striped scarf, and how big and bold he was.

I loved snuffy! Love all your punch cards! Saw them on SCS and followed the link over to your blog. Thanks for posting the instructions for the punches you used. Love how you made them circle cards!

This is just darn cute!

Ernie. I loved when he sang about his "Rubber Ducky." I love your Sesame Street cards! Your Big Bird one really rocks! I also loved Snuffy. He wasn't on every episode, so it made me really treasure when he was on.
