You Know You're Old When....

Wow, It's been awhile since I've done a Wednesday project! Anyway, here I am with a Humor Me Wednesday project for Bugaboo Stamps. Are you familiar with out Humor Me Wednesdays? I hope so, if not, where have you been, peeps?! Humor Me Wednesday is where we show off humorous projects that were created in those funny, obscure and unusual holidays or celebrations? They are sure to tickle your funny bone, so be sure you check out all of our funny creations each Wednesday at Catch The Bug!

My card is to celebrate, Do Something Nice Day.  Aww such a sweet occasion, too, isn't it?

I've used the image, Stella - Rocking Chair, by Bugaboo Stamps, colored with Promarkers.  All papers were from my stash.  I used this cute butterfly ribbon, as well as a handmade butterfly embellishment.

Big Hats Make Your Butt Look Smaller

Wow, can you beleive its already Thursday at Catch The Bug?! And that means another Oldie but goodie day with images from Bugaboo Stamps.  I love thursdays because its our chance to showcase some of the older images and reintroduce you to more Bugaboo goodness!  Come over and check out Catch The Bug for lots of oldie but goodie inspiration!

My card uses the image and sentiment, Stella Red hats - Big Hats, from Bugaboo Stamps, colored with Promakers.  I used beautiful purple tones, with touches of pink, pastel yellow and green.  I used both circle and oval punches on this card.  All ribbons are from my stash,  I used gemstone circles and purple gemstones to add sparkle and bling.  Afterall, you have to have bling, when you wear a big hat!  Besides, I'm thinking the bling might make our butts look smaller, too! LOL! The flowers are by prima, with a purple gemstone center.  The leaves beneath the flowers were punched with a punch by Martha Stewart. My card layout uses the sketch at Sketches by Carly.

My project, today, features the image and sentiment set, Stella - Call Me Witch, from Bugaboo Stamps, colored with Promarkers. I used fun Halloween papers from my stash.  Sparkle and Shine has been added to the stars and hat buckle on the image, with a clear star gelly roll pen.  I used a clear Glaze to Stella's glasses, to make the lenses have that glassy look.  The sentiment is punched with a circle punch.  The creepy ooey gooey black border was created with the Drippy Goo punch by Bugaboo Stamps. Bright green buttons, recycled from old clothing, and a polka dotted black and white ribbon, all from my stash, were used for embellishing. For my card layout, I used the sketch at Tuesday Morning Sketches.

Old Bunnies Don't Die

It's Oldie But Goodie Thursday at Bugaboo Stamps and Stella is hopping in to tell us what happens to old bunnies! LOL ! Gotta love Stella and her fabulous words of wisdom! She's definitely an Oldie But Goodie, herself, too, so I felt she was perfect for today. As always Oldie But Goodie Thursday is so much fun! The DT does an awesome job bringing the older images back into the spotlight. (Again, perfect for Stella, since she often steals the spotlight!) Visit all the Oldie But Goodie Thursday creations at Catch The Bug! They're all fabulous!

My project today is an Easter card. I went with bright, fun Easter colors. The image and sentiment are Stella Tidbits - Old Bunnies, by Bugaboo Stamps, colored with Promarkers. All papers are from my stash, mostly scraps. The ribbon is a scrap from my ribbon scrap drawer. My card layout uses the sketch at Sketch N Stash. I cut the two Easter eggs from an Easter paper, and used them as embellishments. Image attached using foam mounting tape for lift and dimension. Flowers are by Recollections, with pearls added for the flower centers. Sentiment is punched with oval and scalloped oval punches.

I found inspiration in this fun photo at Just Inspirational Challenges


I love this color combo and the mix of stripes and polka dots!

My card today uses the new release Stella Frame It - 1 More Candle, from Bugaboo Stamps. I've colored Stella with Promarkers.
