Don't Piss Me Off.....

My apologies to everyone for not having many posts, lately.  I am having some medical issues and am having surgery next month, so until I have that and am on the road to feeling better, posts will be limited.  Thank you to all of you who continue to follow my blog faithfully, and to my design team for the support!

Now then, let's get to today's project!  It's a new Stella Says Sketch challenge at Catch The Bug! Come over and play along! You have a chance to win some awesome images of your choice from Bugaboo Stamps! Now isn't that worth playing for?! Come over and show us your creativity!

For today's project, I decided to show off some stripes and masculine colors.  I've used the image and matching sentiment, Stella Tidbits - Hide Bodies, by Bugaboo Stamps, colored with Promarkers. The sentiment is punched with oval and scalloped oval punches.

It's Your Birthday! Sail Away!

Hey Hey Hey, what do you say? If you say sketch, then, you're in the right place! LOL  Oh well, even if you don't say sketch, you can still be in the right place!

I'm sure you're all familiar, by now, with the Stella Says Sketch challenge, at Catch The Bug! If you're not, OMG, where have you been hiding?!  It's the new challenge at Catch The Bug, sponsored by Bugaboo Stamps.  We provide you a sketch and you create a fabulous project, link it up with us, and have a chance at fabulous prizes! Head over to Catch The Bug to see the current sketch challenge and see the fabulous inspiration from the DT!

My project today uses the new sketch from our Stella Says Sketch challenge.  I've made a male birthday card using masculine colors.  The image is Critter Balloons - Elephant, from Bugaboo Stamps.  All papers used are from my stash, as are the pearls.  I used a grey border punched with a Martha Stewart border punch. The sentiment is by Sentiments 4 You, punched with a circle punch.  Then I punched out some gray shapes and layered them under the punched sentiment, to make a decorative border.
