We love bringing back those older images into the spotlight and you're going to love all the creativity we have to show you! Come over to Catch The Bug and feast your eyes on all the other awesome Oldie But Goodie creations!

My card uses the image Lil Snowman Star, from Bugaboo Stamps, colored with Promarkers.  All papers are from my stash. Don;t you just love the glittery papers?! I used Christmas tree buttons, recycled from an old Christmas shirt, and threaded with baker's twine, to embellish. The sentiment is punched with circle and scalloped circle punches. I used liquid pearls to make circle shapes in the corners of the image and beside the sentiment.

Have Ya Ever Just had One Of Those Days?!

Well, well, time sure flies, doesn't it?! I hope you aren't tired of seeing my creative inklings, because I am back, again, with another project to show you and another new challenge for you!  We have a new challenge for you, this fortnight, at Open Minded Crafting, and we'd love for you to play along! Our theme this time, for your creating pleasure, is "Fowls of All Kinds." Oh, c'mon now, don't moan and groan - It's not that hard.  Put on your thinking caps and see what you can create - Remember, Thanksgiving is coming up and who doesn't love turkey - It sure is my favorite bird! LOL!

As always, we have an awesome potpourri of sponsors who are generously donating some great prizes.  This time, our sponsors are:

Di's Digi Designs

Dr Digi's House of Stamps

Milk Coffee Stamps

The East Wind

The Stamping Chef

Wow! How's that for some awesomeness up for grabs! Remember, you have two weeks to play along for your chance at one of those great prizes - You may even be chosen as one our DT Favorites too, and who wouldn't want THAT honor, right?!

Hurry over to Open Minded Crafting and play along with us! This is YOUR chance to give us the bird! LOL!  C'mon do it... I dare ya! :D

Now, that we've went over the meat and potatoes of it all, let's review my card details. I've used the image, That's Tragic, by Dr Digi's House of Stamps, colored with Promarkers, My card layout uses the sketch at Sketch N Stash. I have never won a challenge there but I really love thier sketches so I keep trying! One day it will happen, right?! The funny thing about this card... I had been driving down the road, coming home from the casino of all places, and started thinking about this image and wondering what I would do with it.... Then it came to me - I wanted to do this card in one of my favorite color combos - Black, White and Yellow.  I love this color combo, but for some reason I only use it when I have an image that just strikes me as perfect for it - Well, this was one of them, so I hightailed my booty on over to Hobby Lobby to get just the right paper - And I think I found it! Once I bought my paper, I couldn't wait to come home and create! I am very happy with the finished result and feel like this color combo was definitely the right decision.  I love the mix of the patterns, chevron and polka dots, together, The gears in the two corners of the image were punched with an old punch by EK Success.  (I found that little sucker at a yard sale and snatched it up! Woot! What a bargain!) The top left and bottom right corners of the card are embellished with sparkly gold gemstone pearls. I love them and felt they were perfect for this mix of patterns and colors! I finished off the card by adding wiggly eyes to the image - The perfect finishing touch, don't you think?!

This card is perfect for someone who's had a bad day and could use some cheering up!

Christmas In July Blog Hop -Show Us Your Santa - At Bugaboo Stamps

Welcome to the Third Annual Christmas in July Blog Hop and Celebration for Bugaboo Stamps!  I can hardly believe it's been three years, already!  Thank you so much, to everyone, for all your support for bugaboo's artist, Jodie, for Bugaboo digis, and for the entire Bugaboo Design team!  Without you, we couldn't grow and flourish the way we have and the way we will continue to do. I'm so proud and honored to be a part of this awesome team am thankful for the opportunity each and every day!

There's a lot going on, this week, at Bugaboo, sit I hope you are  ready for it!  Today starts out Christmas In July Blog hop and we hope all of you will hop along with us.  There's so much awesome creative inspiration to see along the way!  We'll also be having daily challenges this week, too, so there is lots of fun to be had - Of course, that means lots of prizes to be had too - And who doesn't love prizes?!

Along with our Blog hop, our first daily challenge starts, today, and the theme is perfect for starting off Christmas In July!  Our theme, today, is "Show Us Your Santa!"  Let's see your project showing us a Santa.  This is the perfect time to get a head start on those Christmas cards, everyone, so get crafty and play along with us all this week, starting today! Playing along could land you one of the daily prizes of our special Christmas in July  Set, a prize pack of 10, 7 or 4 free images. or one of many opportunities for you to be our guest designer! How's that for awesome prizes?!

Please keep in mind that we will be running just ONE post at Catch The Bug, for all the daily challenges.  Each day will have its on Inlinkz where you can upload your creations to play along, but they will ALL be in ONE post. You may work ahead on your projects for the week, but you will not be able to link up your projects for each day until the daily Inlinkz for that challenge opens up at 7 am.  I just wanted to let everyone know, so that we are hopefully able to avoid any confusion.

Anyway, I know you're here for the Bugaboo Stamps Christmas in July blog hop, so let's make sure you are on track, shall we?  You should have arrived here from Nancy Perry's blog. (She's our newest Design Team member and is so talented, isn't she?! Love her work!) Anyway, if for some reason you land here from Nancy's blog, or you landed here by mistake, you'll want to start over, at the beginning, at Jodie's Blog, Catch The Bug.

And now, that I've stopped babbling, here is my creation for the Blog Hop and Show Us Your Santa challenge.

My card, today uses the image Old World Santa 1, by Bugaboo Stamps, colored with Promarkers. I went very simple with this one because I wanted to show off this Old World Style image, without distracting from it.  My papers are all from my stash.  I used three holly and ivy shaped buttons, to embellish near the image.  The sentiment is by Sentiments 4 You and is punched with oval and scalloped oval punches. I added glitter and sparkle to the fur of Santa's suit, with a clear star gelly roll oen.

While you are here, don't forget to "leave me some love" by posting a comment.  You must leave comments along the way for your chance to win the blog hop prize.  Plus, as a special bonus, one lucky commenter on this post will win the Bugaboo digi that I used on my card, today, to have for their very own! Whoo Hoo! Another chance to win! Who doesn't love winning?!

Once you finish checking out my Blog Hop creation and leaving a comment, head on over to your next stop, which is Sandye Curry's blog. Sandye is an awesome crafter, so she's sure to have something fun to show you!

Thank you so much for stopping by my blog, today, and participating in our Hop. I hope you will play along in our challenges this week, too!

Happy Hopping!

Want and need more creative inspiration using this fun Freebie Friday image? Check out the rest of the amazing creations from the DT at Catch The Bug!

My project today uses the image, Nurse Bear - Bandaide, from Bugaboo Stamps, colored with Promarkers.
I used two different papers, both from my stash, and created this masculine get well card.  Male cards are so difficult to make, and Get Well cards seem to be even more difficult for many people! My card layout uses the sketch at Card Positioning Systems. I used some buttons, recycled from old clothing, for my embellishments.  The sentiment is by Sentiments 4 You and punched with oval and scalloped oval punches.

My project today features new release, little monster, from Bugaboo Stamps, colored with Promarkers. I went with a combination of stripes and polka dots to create this fun male card. I used some new brads from Hobby Lobby, in two sizes,  to embellish my card. The strip of frayed burlap is from Archivers.  My card layout uses the Sketch at One Crazy Stamper.
