Even More Christmas! Wow!

Well, well, here we are again, with another sponsorship by Bugaboo Stamps! I hope you're keeping track of us, because, as you know, Bugaboo Stamps is always on the move, sponsoring wherever we can! And today is no exception! This week, we are proud to be sponsoring the oh so wonderful Make It Monday! Their theme is always anything goes, so you have no excuses not to play along! Come link up for your chance to win a digi prize pack from Bugaboo Stamps!

And now, how about this fun card, to give you some inspiration to play along:

For my card, I've used the image, Christmas Brat Girl Dress, from Bugaboo Stamps.  I went with three patterned papers from my stash.  Gotta love red and green together, especially with stripes! The sheer green ribbon is also from my stash.  I used 3 red dew drop pearls to embellish, as well as three green ones. (I hand dyed the green ones, myself). My card layout uses the sketch at Sketch at Sketch and Stash. The sentiment is from Sentiments 4 You and is punched with oval and scalloped oval punches.

I took my inspiration from this photo, at Just Inspirational Challenges:

Today, I have for you, a baby announcement.  This is absolutely one of a set of 12.  I made this set of  announcements for a family friend and his girlfriend, who are expecting their first child. I figured it would be a nice gift to give them, with whatever else I decide to buy them.

I've used the image Giraffe Heart 2, from Bugaboo Stamps, colored with Promarkers. The baby themed papers are from Hobby Lobby.  I used green hand dyed dew drop pearls from my stash,  for my embellishments. The sentiment is punched with oval and scalloped oval circles.

Don't be crabby! It's Friday! That means a fun, fabulous new freebie image for you, from Bugaboo Stamps! If you love water themed images and things that remind you of the ocean and summer, then you will  really be crazy about this one! How about this cute crab image, for a freebie this week?! I just fell in love with him when I seen him! Too cute!

If you'd like to see more fun crabby inspiration, head over to Catch The Bug and feast your eyes on all the fabulous examples featuring this cutie crab!

My project uses the sketch at Sunday Sketch And Stamp. I went for a male birthday card. The image is crab, the freebie friday image this week, from Bugaboo Stamps.  He's colored with Promarkers. I used a white opaque pen from Inkenstials, to add polka dots to the sails of the boat. All papers are from my stash.  I love the mix of this fun beach themed paper, with the polka dots. The sentiment is by Sentiments 4 You and is punched and matted with circle punches.  Both the sentiment and image are mounted with foam mounting tape, for dimension. The dew drop pearls are just the right bling for this card and are from my stash.

Shelly's Images Sponsors Stella Says Sketch

Guess what?! Shelly's Images is sponsoring the oh so fun Stella Says Sketch challenge, this time, at Catch The Bug! We know how much you all love to use sketches for your inspiration, so this is the perfect challenge for you! It's such a fun sketch, this time, and there is a fabulous prize up for offer, from Shelly's Images! Remember, there are two weeks to play along in the Stella Says Sketch challenges at Catch The Bug, so you have plenty of time to play along with us!

I hope you've found some creative inspiration in my card, today, and will come over to Catch The Bug and play along! We'd love to have you join us!

My card is a tent top rocker card. This is my first time making one, and I love how it came out! It's so cute the way you can lightly tap one end of the card and it will rock back and forth like a rocking horse! So fun! I used lots of supplies from my stash, for this one. The papers are from my scrap bin. I've used the image, Skelekinz - You Have My Heart, by Bugaboo Stamps. (I LOVE the Skelekinz line of images!) and colored her with Promarkers. The black dew drop pearls and black and white spotted bow are all from my stash. I added some red lace as something "different," and to add a finishing touch. The heart border was punched with a double heart PATP border punch by Martha Stewart.

Inside the card says, "You Have My Heart."

Giraffes Go Non-Traditional

We have a new challenge for you, this week at Shelly's Images. Our theme is "Seeing Spots." Come over and get spotty with us, for your chance to win!

Ohhhh and we definitely have the perfect challenge for our featured image today! Today, we are featuring Giraffe. Remember, this featured image is available, today only, for a special price, in the store, Here.

My project uses the awesome image, Giraffe from Shelly's Images. I went with non traditional colors. After all, who says giraffes have to be traditional?! I've used two different orange spotted papers, paired with black and white stripes. (I think he dreamed he was a zebra for a moment!) The image is colored with Promarkers and attached with foam mounting tape, for dimension. I punched sprigs of black leaves with a punch by Martha Stewart and nestled them under flowers layered in orange and black. The dew drops at the top and flower center are teardrop shaped dewdrop pearls. My card layout uses the sketch at Seems A Little Sketchy.

I went with a Valentine's Card for this one, because I thought this little cutie would make a fun, whimsical valentine!

My card today uses the Sketch at Sketch N Stash, for the card layout. The image is today's Friday Freebie, Scruffy Puppy, by Bugaboo Stamps. He's colored with Promarkers and has cute little wiggly eyes added, to make him even more fun! I used scraps of these fun doggie papers, from my stash, and a scrap of striped papers, to break up the doggie prints. The buttons are from my stash and are recycled from old clothing that has been thrown away. (Gotta recycle those buttons!) I also added some hand dyed dew drop pearls, with the buttons. The sentiment is punched with a label punch by EK Sucess. I used foam mounting tape for attaching the sentiment and the image.

It's saturday, and that means time for a new challenge at

Catch The Bug. This week, we have a fun sketch challenge for you! Remember, there are awesome prizes to be had, so be sure to play along with us, for your chance to win! While you're visiting Catch The Bug to link up your creation, be sure to check out the awesome eye candy from the rest of the team!


I've used this week's sketch, of course, for my card layout. The image is Bbrat Girl Balloon Sitter, by Bugaboo Stamps. This little cutie is colored with Promarkers. The flowers are diecut, precolored flowers from the wedding department at Michael's. I used green and lavender and layered them so the green would look like leaves. The flower centers are dew drop pearls that I hand dyed, myself, to make the perfect color. I used scraps of green paper from my stash, and a pretty floral paper from a new paper stack I got for Christmas. The image is punched with circle and scalloped circle punches and attached with foam mounting tape for dimension.

Good Morning! I have a fun challenges to tell you about, today! It's Terrifically Thrilling Thursday at Shelly's images so that means a new challenge! This week's theme is "Show us What You Got." That's right! Anything Goes! Whoo Hoo! It's also Shelly's 2 nd birthday! There's blog candy to be won, in addition to the challenge prize! Come over and play along at Shelly's images for your chance to win!

For my card, today, I'm using the Wedding Bells image, from Shelly's Images. I've colored the image with Promarkers. My card layout uses the sketch at Sketch N Stash to create this wedding card. My papers are all new, from a new Recollections paper stack I bought last weekend. I was so excited to find a black and white paper stack! They were perfect for my "black and white with splashes of color," card. The sentiment and image are mounted with foam mounting tape for dimension. I added black dew drop pearls from my stash, for embellishing the bottom corners.

I did it! I did it! Whoo Hoo! I wasn't sure I'd make it, but I did it! I completed the 12 Days of Halloween at Simply Betty Stamps! I worked my little tushy off, but I managed to compelete it!

This is my final project for the 12 Days Of Halloween at Simply Betty Stamps.


You're looking at my entry for Day 12... 12 Bats a-flying! My card layout uses the
Sketch at The Pixie Cottage. I used this awesome zombie image from Simply Betty Stamps. She is colored with Promarkers. I used scraps of Halloween papers from my stash, and some black pearls for added bling. The green panels on the bottom left and right corners are embossed with the Cuttlebug.
