Fishing You A Great Birthday

Here I am, today, with Gus, to show off my Oldie But Goodie Creations for Bugaboo Stamps. Today. I have created a birthday card for you, spotlighting the oldie but goodie image, Gus Fishing, from Bugaboo Stamps.  The image is colored with promarkers. I've used blue gemstones and blue ribbon to embellish. The sentiment is punched with oval and scalloped oval punches.

Keep your Balls Clean....

Are you ready for this week's challenge? This time, we have a Recipe Challenge for you, at Catch The Bug! We want to see your crafty creations using the Recipe: kraft, embossing, pop of color. Now, now, don;t worry - It's not as hard as you might think. If I can do it, you can too! Come over and show us your take on this recipe, at Catch The Bug! You might be a winner!

I went masculine today.  My card uses the image, Frame It - Gus - Golf, from Bugaboo Stamps, colored with Promarkers. I used chalks to enhance the embossed woodgrain panels. The green panel is embossed with the Cuttlebug Swiss Dots folder. I used brown and white baker's twine, threaded through a recycled button, to finish off the card.

I am entering this card in the following challenges:

It's always a fun one and so easy to play along! Won't you come over and play with us?

If you do, then come over to Catch The Bug for more details on our current challenge!

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.
