This means the design team is having a blast showing off those older images from Bugaboo Stamps and bringing them back - right in your face, to grab your attention! Stop by and see what the other design team members have to show you, too, at Catch The Bug!

My card for today uses the image, Boy Bear, from Bugaboo Stamps, colored with Promarkers, I used a fun design, this time, with layers of 3 banners.  I think it turned out really cute. The card was embellished with silver pearls. I also added two strips of yellow washi tape, to add an extra splash of color. The sentiment is by Sentiments 4 You and is punched with oval and scalloped oval punches.

I've created my card based on all the summer rain we've been having this year. My card uses the image Rainy Day Bears - Rain Rain, from Bugaboo Stamps, colored with Promarkers. I decided to challenge myself and try to create a card using on designer paper. Boy, was that a tough one for me. because I love, love, love my paper! LOL! I used a blue cardstock panel embossed with clouds. Behind the image, I used a strip of blue mesh, to add texture. I've used yellow metal brads and metallic raindrop shaped gems to embellish. The sentiment is punched with circle and scalloped circle punches.

Someone's Beary Lucky

Hi hi hi, all! It's time for another challenge at Shelly's Images. St. Patty's Day is fast approaching, so we thought we'd start the celebration! Whoo Hoo! Let's party! We want to see
projects done in Green and gold, this week. It doesn't have to be a St Patrick's Day project. Anything with those colors will do! Come over and go green with us at Shelly's Images for your chance to win! While you're there, check out the stylish and fun ways the DT went "green" this week! There's some fabulous inspiration for you there, using today's featured image, Beary Lucky, by Shelly's Images. Remember, this image is on sale, today, only, too, for a special price, so if you love it as much as I do, grab it while you can!

Here is my green and gold project, for your viewing pleasure. My card layout uses the sketch at Sketch N Stash. The image is Beary Lucky from Shelly's Images. He's colored with Promarkers and gold highlights added with my new metallic Promarkers. Of course, I went with the challenge theme and used green and gold. The fun papers are scraps from my stash. The border is punched with a border punch by Martha Stewart. The new gold metal shamrock is a from a St Patrick's Day button package, from Hobby Lobby. The green glittered shaped stickers are from my stash. I bought the shamrock print ribbon on clearance at Walmart, last year.

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.

Snow Beary Cute

Hey everyone! How's the weather there?! If you're like me, you're still in the middle of winter! Yucky! I hate winter! The only good thing about it, is getting to use these fun winter time digi images! LOL (That's the only kind of snow and snowflakes that I like, I'll tell ya!)

We have a new challenge, and a new featured image for you, today, at
Shelly's Images! The theme this week is something new for us and a really fun one! It was Shelly's idea, and is so cool! The theme is Roll 'Em -On the Shelly's Images Blog, there's a list of elements, each assigned a number. The idea is to roll the dice (Or use the random number generator on the sidebar) to choose three numbers, then challenge yourself to use those 3 elements on your project! I wasn't sure about it, myself, at first, but it really was a blast, once I got started! I feally hope we do more of these! It was great fun!

Oh, and then, there's today's featured image, Snow Beary, available today only for a special price, in the
Shelly's Images store. Get him at the discounted price while you can! He's a real cutie!

And now, here is my project, featuring Snow Beary. I used the following numbers on our "Roll 'Em" list:

#0 - Doodling
#3 - Use 3 Layers
#8 - Buttons, Brads or Bling (I chose Bling)



My card layout uses the sketch at Inspirational Card Sketches. The image, Snow Beary, by Shelly's Images, is colored with Promarkers. I used a 0.1 fine point black Promarker, to do the doodling on the frame of the image. The blue snowflake paper is a scrap from my stash. The gold papers are from a new paper stack by Recollections, that I got for Christmas. The circles were punched with circle punches of various sizes. I added a white gliterry snowflake and a silver adhesive pearl, to add bling. My card has three layers. The image and the smallest circle are attached with foam mounting tape, for dimension.

Beary Cute Stocking Stuffer

Wow, another one?! Can you believe it?! Another card for The 12 Days of Christmas at Catch The Bug! This card is for Day 3 where we're supposed to use an animal on our project. Don't you just love the little bear in the stocking?


I'm using the Sketch at Squiggle Stamps for my card layout. The image is from Bugaboo Stamps and is colored with Promarkers. All papers are scraps from my stash, as is the pretty red glittered ribbon. I used these cute little red bows with pearl centers for embellishing. I decided not to add a sentiment since this card just screams Christmas, already! The image has glitter and sparkle added to the trim on the stocking with a clearstar gelly roll pen.

Bearing Daisies

So, are you all still stuffed from the huge Thanksgiving meal you had?! If you're like me, you're already sick of turkey! Honestly,I was already sick of it after one day of leftovers! So glad it's finally gone! Phew!

I actually have a non Christmas card to show you,today! Can you believe it?! I've been in a huge Christmas card mood lately, so I thought I'd switch it up for you, this time.


My card today is for my free week at Daisy Doodles. The image is a new release, called Bearin' Daisies. I've colored the image with Promarkers. The papers are all scraps from my scrap drawer. I've used this gorgeous crocheted lace trim from American Crafts. The flower is handmade Crochet as well, with a pearl used as the flower center. The leaves are punched with a punch by Martha Stewart.


This would make a great all occasion or thank you card.

Wanted! Dead Or Alive!

Hello, hello, hello! It's challenge time, again, at Daisy's Doodles, and we have another fun one for you!

The challenge, this time, is New Moon, which is Daisy's Doodles' version of Anything Goes with a digi! That's right, Anything, as long as you use a digi on your project! How's that for a fun one?! It definitely is one of my favorites!

There is no excuse to not play in this one! You can play along by creating anything, so hurry over to Daisy's Doodles and link up to play along and have a chance to win!


For my project, I made this adorable little card using some of the images from The Freddy Goes West set, by Daisy Doodles. The images are colored with Promarkers. All images and sentiments are all from the Freddy Goes West set. For the background, I used the Cuttlebug and the Distressed Stripes Folder to emboss brown cardstock, then used a sponge dauber to add a darker brown ink, for highlighting the embossed areas, and all the wood like grooves in the embossed panel. All images and sentiments are mounted with foam mounting tape to give the card a lot of dimension and a 3D effect.

This card turned out so cute! Perfect for a guy or even a little boy! I love this set! If you love it as much as I do, hop over to Daisy Doodles' Store and pick this set up for your very own!
