My card features this week's Freebie Friday image, Elephant topper, colored with Promarkers, by Bugaboo Stamps.  I paired him with a fun mix of papers, as well as a grey embossed circleused as a pocket, for him to peek over the top of!  All papers are from my stash.  I went with a male birthday card, for this round, because its something I never seem to have enough of.  The elephant image is attached to a tag that pulls up from the circle pocket. My sentiment is by Sentiments 4 You and punched with oval and scalloped oval punches.  I used black pearls to embellish, and finished off with wiggly eyes for the elephant.

Today is new release day at Bugaboo Stamps and just look at this new little cutie we have for you!  I couldn't wait to print him out and play with him as soon as I seen him! Just an awesome little monster he is! You can find him, as well as some of his friends and relatives in the Bugaboo Stamps store!  Go check them out and get some little monsters of your very own!

How about some more inspiration using this adorable little monster?  You can find lots more inspiration at Catch The Bug! Oh, and please, leave the team some love while you're there! We love to hear your thoughts and comments!

My project today features new release, little monster, from Bugaboo Stamps, colored with Promarkers. I went with a combination of stripes and polka dots to create this fun male card. I used some new brads from Hobby Lobby, in two sizes,  to embellish my card. The strip of frayed burlap is from Archivers.  My card layout uses the Sketch at One Crazy Stamper.

Just Floating By.....



Hey Hey! So glad you floated by today, to visit!  Now that you're here, let me tell you about a new challenge at Catch The Bug! We're all inspired this week by a photo with pretty primary colors and thoughts of summer.  It's amazing how differently everyone interprets the photo!  I know you're dying to see, and to play along, so go check out the photo inspiration challenge at Catch The Bug! You could win a digi prize package of 4 images, 7 images, or even 10 images, from Bugaboo Stamps! Whoo Hoo! Lots of prizes, so don't miss out! Be sure you play along with us!

My card today uses the image, Summer Duck-Floaty, from Bugaboo Stamps, colored with Promarkers. All papers are from my stash.  I just love the mix of polka dots and stripes together with the beach paper! Such a summery feel, isn't it?! The cute little whale is a punch my Martha Stewart, matted with a punched circle.  The felt flowers with diamond/gemstone centers are a new find, from the dollar bin at Michael's.  Recycling is always on my mind, of course, so I added three recycled buttons from old clothing that had been thrown out. I've used the sketch at Alota Rubber Stamps, for my card layout. The  whale and the image are mounted with foam mounting tape, for added dimension.  I used ribbon from my stash, that came from the dollar bin at Target last summer.
The green panel across the card is embossed with the Cuttlebug using the paisley folder.
This card is for my friend, Dan, to celebrate summer. Who says flowers can't be used on a masculine card?! I think they can, if you get creative!
