We're bringing those older images back into the spotlight, to renew your interest and inspiration in them! Check out the awesome, inspiring work at Catch The Bug

I've used the Sketch at Sketch N Stash for my card layout.The image is Skelekinz - Birthday, from Bugaboo Stamps. She's colored with Promarkers. I used fresh spring colors and a mix of gingham and polka dots for this fun birthday card. The doily is punched with my new doily punch by EK Success, out of yellow and white gingham paper, then embellished with tiny pink gemstone stars for added bling. The sentiment is by Digi Darla and is punched with oval and scalloped oval punches. Both the image and the sentiment are mounted with foam mounting tape, for dimension.

My project today is a birthday card - Seemed just perfect for the "Seize the Cupcake" theme! Of course, I'm using today's featured image, Birthday Cake Chef, by Shelly's Images, colored with Promarkers. I went with a pink and black color theme, with touches of white, because its one of my favorite color combinations! I love the stripes and polka dots together with the gingham! All papers are from my stash. The sentiment is by Sentiments 4 You and is punched with oval and scalloped oval punches. I added a small sparkly rhinestone flourish near the sentiment for a touch of sparkle and bling.

It's New Release Tuesday at Bugaboo Stamps and wow, do we have some cuties for you, today! If you love the AKV (A Kid's View) line, you will love these! There's a new set of "moving" themed images, today, and they are just too too cute! Perfect for those new home or new address cards - Or even those C"congrats on your new" home cards! Today, the team at Catch The Bug are featuring one of the new images from this fabulous line! We're featuring the image, AKV Moving - Car. Head over to Catch The Bug and check out the wonderful examples by the team! And remember the new AKV Moving images are available, now in the Bugaboo Stamps store!

My card today feautures the new release image, AKV Moving - Car, by Bugaboo Stamps. I've colored the image with Promarkers. Aquamarine was my main color of choice, this time. Of course, I had to throw in a couple of other colors, as well. The flowers are a mix from Recollections and Prima. Pearls are used for the flower centers. The sentiment is by Sentiments 4 You and is punched with circle and scalloped circle punches.

In spite of the flowers, I think this makes a great male card. I'm sending this to my friend who just moved into a new apartment. I know he's going to love it

Heeeeeeeeere's Johnny!

Good Morning, good morning! It's new release day at Bugaboo Stamps! Are you excited, yet?! Look at this fabulous new fella Jodie has added to her fabulous collection of digi images. This is Johnny. Isn't he totally cool?! He's part of today's new release! You know you want to have him for your very own!

You can see what the rest of the DT has created with him, too, for even more inspiration! Check out the other creations at Catch The Bug!

I just wanted to mention, before I go on, that Jodie, the artist, for Bugaboo Stamps, is currently having internet issues due to weather conditions, so she may be late getting these new little fellas added to the store. If you want him and he isnt in the store when you get there, please keep checking back. He will be in the store and available for purchase as soon as she's able to get online long enough to add him in.

My card layout uses the Sketch at The Pixie Cottage. The image is new release, Johnny, by Bugaboo Stamps. He's colored with Promarkers. All papers are from my stash. The round discs match the papers and are made with my new tool by Epiphany Arts. (Absolutely LOVE that new tool!) The ribbon is also from my stash.

This turned out to be the perfect male card, especially for teen boys.

Spring Is Here!

Here I am again, with my second week as Guest Designer for Tuesday Throwdown. There's a fun challenge for you today, as we celebrate spring! The theme is spring cleaning! That's right, clean out your stash and scraps, and use something that's at least 6 months old on your card or other project. We're sponsored by The Stamping Boutique this week, so you're in for a real treat! Your chance to win some goodies from The Stamping Boutique for playing along, so be sure not to miss out!

Do some spring cleaning of your own and link up your creation at Tuesday Throwdown! You just might be our winner!

My card uses the Spring image by The Stamping Boutique, and colored with Promarkers. I used pastel spring like colors. The leaves were punched with a punch by Martha Stewart. I made the flower with punhed shapes. The flower center is a button recycled from old clothing I threw away. I used the
sketch at Sketches By Carly for my card layout.
