Get Sketchy And Be Naughty For Christmas In July

Ho Ho Ho! Merry Christmas In July, everyone! It's day two of our Christmas in July celebration at Catch The Bug and we have another fun filled challenge for you. For today, we want to see you follow the sketch we've provided for you.  Remember, you have until the end of our Christmas In July celebration, to complete all of the challenges, so you still have time to play along in all of them, if you wish! (And we hope you will!) Plus, our blog hop is still going on, so be sure you play along with that, too.  Lots of awesome prizes up for grabs, this week, at Bugaboo Stamps! Come visit us at Catch The Bug to get the party started!

My card, today, of course, uses our provided sketch. I've used the image and sentiment set, Stella Christmas - Sled, from Bugaboo Stamps, colored with Promarkers.  All papers are from my stash.  I love these papers, because they're so funky and fun. The image has been punched with circle punches.  I used rhinestones to bling up two of the corners.  My sentiment is punched with oval and scalloped oval circles.

I am entering this Christmas card in the following challenges:

Challenge #215 Christmas at C.R.A.F.T
Challenge #185 Christmas in July at Sassy Studio Designs
Challenge #10 On The Fringe (Scallops around Sentiment) at Delightful Challenges
Challenge #138 Anything Goes at Crafts And Me

Stamping Dragon Designs First Birthday Blog Hop!!!

Whoo Hoo! Time for the final event to wrap up our week of Birthday celebration! Hopefully you have all had a blast playing along with us in our fun contests to celebrate our one year birthday! If you missed out on any events, you still have time to play in the Name the paper pack and win it contest, here, and in the "guess how many" contest, here.)

Now it is time for the big event... The birthday blog hop! Many of our DT team are offering blog candy.. Some may be posted in their hop post.. Some may be a mystery, so you will have to leave us all some love, in order to win! Just hop along to all our blogs, become a follower and leave us a comment to celebrate our birthday, for your chance to win some great prizes! Please remember, that in order to win, you MUST comment on every blog in the hop. (We will check to make sure the winners have commented on all blogs) Along the way, you will get to see some wonderful creations using digi images by Stamping Dragon Designs. You have until The end of the day on Aug 31 to participate in the festivities. Winners will be announced by Sept 2.

If you arrived here from the blog of our wonderful creator, Janette, then you are on the right track. If not, you will want to go back to the Stamping Dragon website and start from the beginning.



In celebration of our Birthday here at Stamping Dragon, and the birthday of Janette herself, Janette created this special digi stamp, above, in honor of their birthdays. This wonderful image is called Rupert's Birthday. Right now, for a limited time only, you can get this image for your very own, for just 99 cents, in the store.

Now, let me show you what I did with this awesome image. Here is my card, below, created especially to celebrate the birthdays of Janette and Stamping Dragon. I made this cute spinner card. You can see the white scalloped tab on the right of the striped box. Turning that tab makes the text in the window move. How cute is that?!




I used an MS border punch for the punched flowers.

Now, head on over to Tam's blog, to see the yummy eye candy she created for your viewing pleasure.

If you get lost along the way, you may come back here to view the blog hop list, and get back on track. The complete list is at the bottom of this post.

Don't forget to leave comments on all the blogs as you hop along, for your chances to win some wonderful blog candy.

Is my blog, here, one of the blogs offering some yummy candy? Hmmm You will just have to leave me some love and then wait and see! *Shhhhhhh I think it's a pretty good guess that I'm giving away some surprise blog candy*

As a bonus, if you post about our birthday blog hop on your blog,with a link to the starting point, you will get an extra chance to win some blog candy! I will give another entry for anyone who becomes a new follower of my blog. Please mention in your comment that you became a follower. (I will check, too! LOL)


UPDATE: If we get over 50 participants in our blog hop (that means 50 comments from 50 different people that are not part of the hop) I will throw in more blog candy and draw a second winner from the comments on my blog.
