Bugaboo Special Challenge

Some of the Bugaboo DT members are participating in a special challenge with ABC Christmas Challenges.  The challenge was to create a card or project with Bears and Bunting.  Liz gives lots of my cards as Christmas presents--and I found this was a lovely way to package them.  Throughout the year when I purchase stamp sets, I save the plastic boxes they come in.  This is one I decorated.  I used the image called Polar Bear.  Filled with an assortment of cards and envelopes, this makes a lovely gift!

The project will be entered into a challenge at:

Special Challenge

Today a couple of Bugaboo DT members are playing along in a challenge with Anyone for Anya.  It is a photo inspiration challenge, so follow the link to their blog to see the photo.  When I looked at the photo, I immediately thought of this image from Bugaboo's 12 Days of Christmas set called 3 French Hens!  That's a great set that does not have to be used exclusively for Christmas!  The sentiment is a Papertrey stamp.

Critter Sketch Challenge

The Critter Sketch Challenge for today is to create for a celebration!  I chose a good one:)  Two Christmases ago, my husband and I took our (then) 17 year old granddaughter on an Amazon River cruise.  As I scrapbook our travels with her, I decided to scrapbook this Crossing the Equator celebration.  The images I used are from Bugaboo.  One more page of hers that I have finished!

This project will be entered into a challenge at:

The challenge was a photo inspiration.  I was inspired by the blues of the water (since this celebration took place on a cruise).
