Say It With Flowers

Darn it, I had this whole post written and the darn electric went out before I could save it! LOL! Gotta hate when that happens! Anyway, I am. with electric, finally, trying again!

It's time for a new challenge at Catch The Bug! Are you ready to show us some photo inspiration?! I hope so, because that's our challenge for you this week. Remember, there are yummy digi prize packs to be won, from Bugaboo Stamps! Come over to Catch The Bug and play along!

My card features the image Flower Bunch Vase, from Bugaboo Stamps, colored with Promarkers. The papers are all from my stash. I used stripes for the background and hand cut pennants from a floral patterned paper, to layer across the top. I've used ruffled ribbon from Stampin Up across the top of the pennants, to give what I intended to be a curtain style look. Did I succeed? You tell me! =) The sentiment is by Sentiments 4 You and is punched with oval and scalloped oval punches.

If you're looking for my post for the Bugaboo Stamps/Little Miss Muffet Blog Hop...

CLICK HERE

Hi all! I'm back, again, already! I'm here, today, to remind you that it's Freebie Friday, again, at Bugaboo Stamps. Check out this cutie new image, Baby Moon. Precious, isn't it? This is perfect for those baby cards you've been needing to make. Remember, this cutie baby is available, free this week only, in the store. Head over there and pick it up for your own, before its no longer free.

Want some more inspiration using this cutie? Check out the other creations from the Design Team, at Catch The Bug. There's a lot of creative genius for you to check out!

My card, today, uses this week's freebie Friday image, Baby Moon, from Bugaboo Stamps, colored with Promarkers. Since this is a baby card, I wanted to keep it clean and simple, with no embellishments. The sentiment is by Sentiments 4 You and is punched with oval and scalloped oval punches. This color combo is perfect for a baby boy, but I suppose you could also use it for a baby girl. My card layout uses the sketch at Seems A Little Sketchy.

Come Hop with Little Miss Muffet and Bugaboo Stamps!

Hello :)

Can you hear squealing? You can? That would be the noise of a collective group of Little Misses, bouncing around with excitement! And why are they bouncing around with excitement? No, they haven't had too much cake. We are proud to announce that Jodie, from Bugaboo Stamps, has designed some exclusive Sunbonnet Rubber Stamps for Little Miss Muffet Stamps. Oh, ok. You're squealing now too!

And, as if that wasn't enough, this week, we're also releasing a rather fabulous new Birds on a Wire Die too. Sorry, I'm excited... I'll stop talking, so you can take a look for yourselves:

Gorgeous, aren't they? You can get hold of all these goodies, right now from the What's New! Section at Little Miss Muffet Stamps.

Little Miss Muffet is running the following Special Offers:

To celebrate all this exciting news, The Little Misses have joined forces with the Bugaboo Stamps Design Team for a fun Blog Hop, just so you can see these great images, in action.

As a matter of fact, here is my creation for today's blog hop, featuring Fancy Sunbonnet Miss Muffet:

Isn't she adorable? You know you love her and want to take her home, don't you? For my card, I've used all papers from my stash. Don't they go beautifully together? Gotta love the fun mix of stripes on a flowered background. The image is colored with Promarkers. I've used red gemstones to the upper left corner of one panel. The flowers were punched with a flower punch by Recollections. Golden gemstones were used for the flower centers.

Oh, but wait!. It's not just a Blog Hop, Peeps! There are prizes too:

Two randomly drawn winners, will receive a Fancy Sunbonnet Miss Muffet Stamp, plus, a random Little Miss Muffet Rubber Stamp

A Further four randomly drawn winners, will receive a random Little Miss Muffet Stamp

I don't want to spoil the surprise, so I'm going to zip my lips, but trust me, her creation is going to be equally fabulous! You're going to love it!

You're 50?!?!?! Someone's Growing Old!

Well, well, you are back, again, aren't you?! Awesome! I'm so glad to see you visiting me, again! Did you drop by to hear all about our new Bingo challenge at Catch The Bug?

I have another birthday card to show you, today. This time, we have a male card. Male cards can be so hard to do, sometimes, but I think this one turned out really cute. What guy wouldn't love to get this?! My card features the image and sentiment Gus Birthday - Optional, from Bugaboo Stamps, colored with Promarkers. A mix of patterns was used - Plaid, Chevron and polka dots. (Yes, guys can have polka dots - At least on cards!) Several punches were used on the sentiments. The buttons are recycled from an old shirt that was thrown away. They're threaded with green and white Baker's Twine. A tiny little bow was added, tied from thin white ribbon. The happy birthday is by Sentiments 4 You.

My Bingo for this challenge is: Starts With G (Gus), Die Cut/Punch and Twine.
