Cindy Boo Cupcake Shows Off in Pink and Grey



It's time for a new challenge, again, at Lacy Sunshine! Are you ready?! We have a fun one for you this fortnight - We want to see you create a project using one of your favorite color combos! Sound easy?! Sure it does, so come play along with us in our challenge! You could be one of our winners! Heather is generously giving away prizes and a guest designer spot, so come link up for your chance to win a prize - Or have the honor of being selected as Top 3 or guest designer! What are you waiting for, now? Come play with us at Lacy Sunshine!

My card uses the image Cindy Boo's Cupcake, from Lacy Sunshine Stamps, colored with Promarkers. I went with one of my favorite color combos - Pink and gray. I just love these two colors together, don't you?! I used only scraps of patterned papers from my stash. Alongside each side of the center panel, I used pale pink ribbon with gold thread running through it, as well as a handmade bow in the bottom left corner of the image, using the same pretty ribbon. I used some textured gemstones from Hobby Lobby, in sets of 3, at the top, left and right of the image. The sentiment is by Sentiments 4 You and is punched with circle and scalloped circle punches.

Clownin' Around With Colors



Welcome to another Saturday challenge at Catch The Bug! This week, we have a Color Challenge for you?! Think you can handle that?! If so, then come on over to Catch The Bug to check out the color theme photo so you can create a project and play along with us. We have lots of prizes up for grabs, so come play along for your chance to win!

My card uses the image Lil Clown 4, from Bugaboo Stamps, colored with Promarkers. Of course, I followed the color scheme in this week's color challenge. This card is perfect for a little boy's birthday. I used all scraps to create this card and think I did a pretty darn good job if I do say so, myself! LOL! The centers of the small squares are punches with the postage stamp punch from EK Success. I used some blue buttons, recycled from an old shirt that had been thrown away, and placed those in the center of the small squares. I used googly eyes on the clown. Isn't he cute?!

The inside of the card Says "Clown Around On Your Birthday"

Here's Looking At You




Wow, can you believe Thanksgiving has come and gone?!  Did you eat a monstrous amount of food for the holiday?!  Phew! I didn't eat much, but I sure cooked my butt off!  It's so much fun to do, but so tiring, isn't it?  Oh, and cleaning up the mess!  NOT a part of it that I like! LOL

Now that you have your tummies stuffed, are you ready to get those creative juices flowing?! I hope so, because we have a new challenge for you, starting today, at Catch The Bug! We have a color challenge for your creating pleasure, this time.  Those are always fun aren't they?  Are you ready to get out your crafting goodies and create something awesome to show us?!  Remember, if you play along, you have a 1 in 3 chance of winning some fabulous images from Bugaboo Stamps! AND, you get to CHOOSE the ones you want! Whoo Hoo! How's that for a fabulous prize?!

Need to some creative inspiration?  Join us at Catch The Bug to see all the creations from the team, and check out the colors for this week's challenge! Be sure you come back and link up your creation with us, too, after you create something awesome!

My project today features the image, Monster 1, by Bugaboo Stamps, colored with Promarkers.  For my card layout, I used the sketch at Seems A Little Sketchy.  All papers are scraps from my scrap bin.  The bling is some new sparkly gemstones I ordered online.  Cute, aren't they? And such fun colors! The ribbon is a scrap from my ribbon scrap drawer.

This was meant to be a masculine card.  The monster reminds me of the character from the movie, Where The Wild Things Are.  I love that movie! So cute!

Wow, can you beleive how fast the summer is flying by?! Here we are, already, with Back To School time! I'm sure the kids out there aren't really ready for it, but I know most of the moms are! LOL

My card today uses the image AKV School - Kids, by Bugaboo Stamps, colored with Promarkers. I used a piece of die cut paper at the top to create a border.  Oh, and you have to love this fun mix of school themed papers! I went with a clean simple card with minimal embellishments. I used a scrap of ribbon and a red button recycled from old clothing.  For my card layout, I used sketch #58 at Sketches By Carly.

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.

I remember fondly, the time I served on the DT at Craft Your Passion. I started as a guest designer back when Lauretta and Corrine ran the challenge blog, and ended up staying on.

This is no exception! I'm honored, as always to be be asked. This is a special time for Craft Your Passion and a real cause for celebration!

The celebration is in full swing, with tons of wonderful sponsors! Lots of sponsors mean lots of prizes! Be sure you head over and check out the festitivities at Craft Your Passion and play along in the current challenge, for your chance to win!

I went with a shaped card for my first Craft Your Passion project. I'm using Hootie Pie Clown by Pink Cat Studio, who's one of the many fabulous sponsors this week! He's colored with Promarkers. All papers are from my stash.

I'm Nuts About You!



Are you ready for another Terrifically Thrilling Thursday and a new challenge at Shelly's Images?! Today is another of the oh so fun "Designer's Choice" weeks, where we, the DT, get to choose whatever image we want. This is extra special for you, because it means that ALL the images featured by the DT today are on sale, for a special price, in the Shelly's Images Store! Whoo Hoo! How's that for a bargain?! Remember, though, the special price is ONLY for today!

Our challenge theme this week is, Text me! That means we want to see Text/sentiments on your projects! How's that for an easy one?!

My project, today, uses the Sketch at Lia Stampz, as my card layout. I'm using this adorable little squirrel image, Nuts About You, by Shelly's Images. It reminds me so much of all the squirrels I see in my front yard in the mornings. I've been saving stale bread to feed them, and they're starting to come out in force in the mornings! I love watching them carry off an entire slice of bread! LOL! So cute! Anyway, I've colored this squirrel with Promarkers. All papers are scraps from my stash, as are the gold metal glittered brads. Ribbon is brand new. The sentiment is punched with a punch by EK Success.

Clown Around For Oldie But Goodie Thursday




It's Oldie But Goodie Thursday at Catch The Bug! The DT for Bugaboo Stamps has some awesome projects to share with you, too! Hurry over and check out the eye candy! It's yummy!

As a guest designer for Bugaboo Stamps this month, I decided to participate in the Oldie But Goodie this week. My card layout uses the sketch at Seems a Little Sketchy.
I used clown from Bugaboo Stamps. All papers are scraps from my huge scrap pile. The heart is punched with punches by Marvy and by Martha Stewart. Purple polka dotted ribbon is from my ribbon scraps drawer. I used this fun new butterfly shaped button to add that little extra something. Gemstone hearts in the upper left corner are also from my stash. I punched the sentiment with a new EK Success punch that I got for Christmas.

Milk And Cookies For Santa



I know you all must be sick of me by now, but here I am, yet again! LOL

I have another card for you, from my attempt to complete the The 12 Days of Christmas at Catch The Bug. This card is for Day 8, with the theme "Cookies and Milk." I struggled with this one a little at first because I don't have any Bugaboo Stamps images with cookies or milk. I did find this fun image though.... And then it came to me..... I'll make my own cookie! (Again, having to get creative and think outside the box! LOL)

I used the Sketch at Stamp With Fun. The image, from Bugaboo Stamps, is punched with a circle punch. I colored her with Promarkers and then sponged around her with brown ink. Then, I punched out brown circles and cut them down, placed them on the circles image, to make the it look like she's on a big cookie! I'm pretty happy with how it turned out and I feel like it looks quite a bit like a cookie! The dark red ribbon is from my stash. I used gold glittered brads to add some sparkle, shine and bling. The papers are all scraps from my stash. I decided not to use an added sentiment, since the red DP has Merry Christmas written all over it.

The image/cookie is attached with foam mounting tape for dimension.

Beary Cute Stocking Stuffer





Wow, another one?! Can you believe it?! Another card for The 12 Days of Christmas at Catch The Bug! This card is for Day 3 where we're supposed to use an animal on our project. Don't you just love the little bear in the stocking?


I'm using the Sketch at Squiggle Stamps for my card layout. The image is from Bugaboo Stamps and is colored with Promarkers. All papers are scraps from my stash, as is the pretty red glittered ribbon. I used these cute little red bows with pearl centers for embellishing. I decided not to add a sentiment since this card just screams Christmas, already! The image has glitter and sparkle added to the trim on the stocking with a clearstar gelly roll pen.
