First Ever ATC

We're here with another challenge today, folks! I hope you're happy to have us back from out break and are ready to play along with us!

This week's challenge is a Bingo Challenge. Want to play along? Check out Catch The Bug for our current bingo board, then start creating some awesome projects to link up with us!

Today, I'm showing you my first ever ATC.  I created this cute 3 x 5 card (several of them, actually) tyo trade at Stampaway Cincinnati, this month.  Of course, I wanted to promote Bugaboo Stamps, too!

For my bingo, I've used a Bugaboo Image, Sewing, and Pearl/gemstones.

My ATC uses the image Flowerpot 1, from Bugaboo Stamps, colored with Promarkers. The sentiment is computer generated. I used a white opaque pen by Signo, to add faux stitching around the edges.  The upper right corner has been embellished with two blue gemstones.


I am entering this ATC in the following challenges:

Doggone It! It's All or Nothing

Are you ready for some laughter?  Well hopefully you are because I'm here to help you celebrate Humor Me Wednesday - All or Nothing Day on July 26.  If you're like me, you'e never even heard of that day, till now! Of course, I'm always looking for a reason to celebrate, to All Or Nothing Day sounds like a good reason to me! This little doggie on my card is definitely celebrating,  - He's gonna eat it all, or nothing!  I think he can do it, too! What do you think?

My card uses the image Rottweiler Puppy - Chow Down, from Bugaboo Stamps, colored with Promarkers. All papers are from my stash. I used a cute doggie bone button as well as three round buttons, to embellish. The round buttons are threaded with Baker's Twine. Green ribbon was used to add more color.

Stella Says Sketch For Xmas In July

It's time for another Christmas in July mini challenge at Catch The Bug! Whoo Hoo! Are you enjoying the week long festivities, so far?  We hope you are!  Today's theme is a sketch, and the DT has had a blast with it.  Affectionately known, as the Stella Says Sketch challenge, but this time around, we're thinking Christmas! Remember, there are prizes up for grabs from Bugaboo Stamps, so be sure to play along!  Oh, and don't forget, there are mini challenges every day for the next week, so check back every day to see the latest theme!  There are some wonderful grand prizes for those of you who play in every challenge during the Christmas In July!

Today, I've used the sketch to create a fun Christmas card, perfect for the guys, using the image JJ Christmas - Candy Cane, from Bugaboo Stamps. JJ is colored with Promarkers. I used a mix of Christmas paper and Polka dots, from my stash.  This image just cries out for polkda dots, to me!  And who says we can't do polka dots on a male card!  I mean, afterall, JJ is just perfect for the guys with her sexy self! LOL.  I used buttons, recycled from old clothing, as embellishments.  The sentiment is from the Teeny Tiny Wishes set by Stampin' Up, and punched with the word window and modern label punches.  The faux stitching was added using a white opaque pen by Inksentials.

A Stitch In Time

Today is new challenge day at Craft Your Passion, and today's challenge is to create something with stitching on it... Either real or faux. Hop on over to Craft Your Passion and play along with us, this week. You could win digi images of your choice from both Coco Dingo and Lauretta's Digital Stamps.

Here is my card for the Craft Your Passion Design team, to give you a little inspiration. The image is called Panier Provencal and is from Coco Dingo. It reminds me of how my mom used to love to plant lots of flowers around the house every spring. I colored the image with Promarkers. (I love these things!) The background paper is from my stash. Flowers by Prima. I used a white opaque pen by Inksentials to add the faux stitching to the edges. The sentiment was punched using a punch from EK Success, and the sentiment is from Studio G.
