Come see the awesome talent of the design team, at the Lacy Sunshine Challenge Blog!

I have to admit, this project was quit challenging! We were given a digi "Puzzle," I like to call it. Each part is printed separate and you're able to piece them together, however you want.  I have to say, it was a lot of fun to  figure out how I wanted to put it together.  I hope you like my finished project!

My card uses the image, Chessie Catnip Flower Pot Pretties, from Lacy Sunshine, colored with Promarkers. I used this fun paper, from my stash, with hearts and animal footprints. I thought it would go great with this fun kitty image! I fussy cut each part of the image and put them all together, individually, to create this 3D image. I used striped paper across the center of the card.

It's A Christmas In July ABC

Well hello there! Are you enjoying the Christmas In July festivities this week, at Catch The Bug?! The Design Team sure is having fun! We hope you are, too! Hopefully you've been playing along in our daily challenges, too!

Today, our challenge theme, today, is to use a particular color scheme, for your project. You can see the color scheme today, over in today's challenge post, at Catch The Bug - But, basically, the colors are shades of green, purples and pinks.

Today is normally ABC day at Catch The Bug - so Its my assigned day to do an ABC - Anything But A Card.  I chose to do this fun Christmas Ornament. I used a miniataure train track from Mayberry Street Miniatures, painted it with Silks Acrylic Metallic Green paint and used lavender ribbon to hang it. Then, I attached this fun image, Christmas Kids - Boy 2, from Bugaboo Stamps, colored with Promarkers. I thought it was pretty creative! What do you think about it?!

I am entering this ABC in the following challenge:

Clyde's Going Girly With Get Well Wishes

It's Oldie But Goodie day at Bugaboo Stamps! Woot! Don't you just love all the eye candy they have to show you, on the blog today?! Today, for my OBG creation. I chose to do a box card.  I love this card style for the fact that it is 3D, yet folds flat for mailing.  My project, today, uses the image, Clyde - Clyde Get Well, from Bugaboo Stamps, colored with Promarkers. Ivve used both foam andglittered flowers as accents, to really make this a gorgeous Get well garden.

I am entering this card in the following challenges:
