Let's Get In Shape

Hey Hey Hey! It's Tuesday, folks! Tuesdays mean new release day, at Bugaboo Stamps! Today's new release being featured is Critter Sign It - Bear. I love this one, because it could be used as a tag, a card front, or even a shaped card - Like I've done, here.

Come over to Catch The Bug and see all the creative ways the DT has found to show off today's featured new release!

I've made a shaped card, using Critter Sign It - Bear, from Bugaboo Stamps. I printed the image, attached it to folded cardstock and hand cut around it, to create the shaped card. I used the paper piecing technique to add pink swirly patterned paper to the sign. The sentiment is punched with a circle punch and attached with foam mounting tape, for dimension.

Twilight With Hearts, Lace And Pearls

We have a fabulous new challenge for you, today, at Catch The Bug! This time, we want to see you use lace, pearls and hearts on your creation. I especially love this one, because I got to play with an awesome new image! We'd love for you to play along with us in our recipe Challenge at Catch The Bug, so get out your crafting goodies and get busy! Remember, you have a whole week to link up your creation with us, and, as always, there are awesome prizes up for grabs! Don't miss out on your chance to win!

My card layout uses the sketch at Tuesday Morning Sketches. I've used this awesome new image, Skye Pencil Pics Bella And Jacob from Bugaboo Stamps. (The perfect image for all of you Twilight fans, like me!) I went with a monochromatic card because I thought it would show off the image beautifully. All papers used are from my stash, as are the lace, pearls, bow and buttons. I used a Heart punch by Marvy to punch the heart out of the matching star paper. The image is colored with Promarkers.

I took the lace and pearls inspiration from this photo at Just Inspirational Challenges:



I LOVE how this one turned out!

I found some cutie patootie new baby patterned paper at Michael's the other day - One was even on clearance! Whoo Hoo! Extra bargain! I knew it was perfect for this image, Baby Boo Peekers, from Bugaboo Stamps. She's colored with Promarkers. I went with a simpler look this time, because I wante the image and papers to be showcased.

Remember The Good Old Days

Welcome to a new challenge, today at Shelly's Images. We have a fun one for you, this time! We're asking you to use 3 of something on your project! It can be 3 of anything! You pick, as long as there are 3 of it! Easy, right?! Get out your goodies and create something fun and make your own group of 3, then head over to Shelly's Images and link up with us for your chance to win!

While you're there, check out the awesome DT creations using today's featured image,
Good Old Days, available today only, in the store, for a special sale price! Perfect for all those masculine cards that so many seem to have trouble creating!

My project, using Good Old Days, by Shelly's Images is colored with Promarkers. For my three of something, I used 3 things that are black and white striped - Two papers and some baker's twine. The papers and buttons are from my stash. Papers came from my scrap bin. I used a clear glaze pen to add shine to the windshield of the truck and headlights, to make them look like glass.

This was a fun project and it helped me use up some of the many scraps of paper I have!

Old Bunnies Don't Die

It's Oldie But Goodie Thursday at Bugaboo Stamps and Stella is hopping in to tell us what happens to old bunnies! LOL ! Gotta love Stella and her fabulous words of wisdom! She's definitely an Oldie But Goodie, herself, too, so I felt she was perfect for today. As always Oldie But Goodie Thursday is so much fun! The DT does an awesome job bringing the older images back into the spotlight. (Again, perfect for Stella, since she often steals the spotlight!) Visit all the Oldie But Goodie Thursday creations at Catch The Bug! They're all fabulous!

My project today is an Easter card. I went with bright, fun Easter colors. The image and sentiment are Stella Tidbits - Old Bunnies, by Bugaboo Stamps, colored with Promarkers. All papers are from my stash, mostly scraps. The ribbon is a scrap from my ribbon scrap drawer. My card layout uses the sketch at Sketch N Stash. I cut the two Easter eggs from an Easter paper, and used them as embellishments. Image attached using foam mounting tape for lift and dimension. Flowers are by Recollections, with pearls added for the flower centers. Sentiment is punched with oval and scalloped oval punches.

I found inspiration in this fun photo at Just Inspirational Challenges


I love this color combo and the mix of stripes and polka dots!

You're In My Thoughts And Prayers

Good morning! Welcome to another challenge at Catch The Bug! We have a fun new challenge for you, today! This one is a sketch challenge! And an easy, simple sketch it is! Stop by Catch The Bug, today, to check out all the sketchy inspiration! We'd love it if you'd play along with us, too, while you're there! You might even be one of our lucky winners of images from Bugaboo Stamps!

My project, today, uses the sketch for this week's challenge. I've used the image, Beautiful Blocks - Thoughts and Prayers by Bugaboo Stamps, colored with Promarkers. The papers are scraps from my stash and are by Stampin Up. The pearl flourises are by Prima. I used vanilla cardstock embossed with pinstripes for my card base and for matting.

My computer is currently down and so I am using a phone to do my post. I'm working on getting my new one up and fully running. I will be back, later, to enter this card in challenges.

Release Me A Sherriff

Whooo Hoo! Welcome to another new release at Bugaboo Stamps! Today, we have a fabulous new release image to showcase! Meet AKV Sheriff - Part of the AKV Cowboys line at Bugaboo Stamps! Jodie is oh so talented and has done a fabulous job with this one! Don't you agree?!

The DT has had so much fun creating with AKV Sheriff! They've created so many awesome projects for you, this time! Check out all the wonderful creations at Catch The Bug! You don't want to miss out on this fabulous eye candy!

My project today uses AKV Sheriff, from the new AKV cowboys line at Bugaboo Stamps. I've colored him with Promarkers. The card layout uses the sketch at Inspirational Card Sketches.
I used a fun mix of denim and bandana print papers, plus a splash of gingham - All of which are scraps from my paper stash. I thought these papers were perfect for a western/cowboy theme. The pennant/banner was punched with a banner punch by Stampin' Up, and attached with foam mounting tape. The silver buttons are by Jolee's Boutique. I used red And white baker's twine for the banner and to lace the silver buttons.

You're A-Maze-Ing!

Wow, we had so many wonderful entries in our "anything goes" challenge last week at Catch The Bug! You all are so talented and we love, love, love seeing all of your awesome creations!

Now, it's time for a new challenge, this week, at Catch The Bug. This week, we have a photo inspiration challenge for you, as well as a wonderful sponsor! Oh and just wait till you hear who the sponsor is - You are going to love it! Our sponsor, this week, is none other than KennyK! Whoo Hoo! Of course, on top of that, Bugaboo Stamps is offering thier usual prize, too! Whooo Hoooo! Talk about fun, prizes, and a chance to win, win, win! This is one challenge you are definitely not going to want to miss! Head over to Catch The Bug to play along, and check out the amazing projects the DT are showcasing for you! Valentine's Day is fast approaching, too, so leave the DT some love while you're in the neighborhood!

My project today is a valentine card for my husband, and features Sexy Cupid, by KennyK. She's colored with Promarkers. I used the black, white and pinks from the photo for my inspiration. I used a 2 1/2" circle punch, to punch a hole in the front of the card. On the inside of the card, I attached one of the new plastic mazes from Stampin' Up, so that it can be seen from the front of the card. I figure he won't be able to resist trying to get the little balls into the center of the maze! LOL! The heart buttons are from my stash. I added glitter and sparkle to sexy cupid, and attached her with foam mounting tape, for dimension. The papers are all scraps from my stash. The sentiment is computer generated and punched with oval and scalloped oval punches. I think it's perfect for this A-Maze-Ing card!
