Friday Freebie

Bugaboo's freebie today is a rocking horse.  I decided to make a baby tag with it.  I used a pink and blue color scheme and cut out the letters for the word "baby" to use on the front.  I used my Papertrey dies for this.  I'm very pleased with how this turned out--and have just the baby prsent to use it on.

Oldie but Goodie Day

For Oldie but Goodie Day at Bugaboo I decided to do something other than a Christmas card or tag (it seems I'm already getting tired of those!).  I used an image called Kidz Girl--Hot Air Balloon and paired it up with this adorable hot air balloon DP I had.  I also found a hot air balloon brad.  It all fit together well!

Riley Challenge

Today's Riley challenge (as seen on their blog) is to create a card/project using the colors Burgundy, Old Olive, and Cream with a theme or gratitude and thanks.  I used Staying Alive Riley along with a sentiment that says "You Rock".  There is a die cut of a guitar on the card.  I thought this would make a perfect thank you card for Liz to use for a Christmas present.  Play along--these Riley challenges are always so much fun!

Newe Release

I'm stll making tags to get ready for Christmas--and Jodie (at Bugaboo) has a fantastic image for us today!  This adorable bear on a candy cane was the perfect addition to my tag. 

Oldie but Goodie Day

Bugaboo is celebrating another Oldie but Goodie Day--and I'm again trying to catch up on some scrapbooking.  We took an Amazon River cruise in December, 2009 (see how far behind I am!) that I scrapbooked using a Bugaboo image called Dolphin Duo--the perfect image for this page, as pink dolphins were one of the rare sights to see on this trip.

Critter Sketch Challenge

Critter Sketch Challenge has a new sketch for you today.  I used an image from Paper Pretties, one of our sponsors for today.

I think this image looks so cute with this Christmas DP I used!  Have fun with this sketch as you play along with us.

Bugaboo Challenge

New challenge at Bugaboo today.  It's Bingo!  Check out the challenge blog to see the different ways you can play.  I decided to use "starts with b (blue)", "jewel", and a "die cut".  There are other ways.  I used an image called Sock Monkey--Winter.

Riley Challenge

You know I always participate in those Riley challenges.  If you check their blog, you will see that their current challenge is pockets.  I decided to make a double pocket card, which I will be using for Christmas.  We usually give some movie gift cards, so this card will come in handy:)  I used the instructions from Splitcoast Stampers, a tag, Papertrey Ink cardstocks, some Graphic 45 DP as well as Papertrey Ink DP, assorted ribbons, some bling, copics, a MFT film strip die, and a small ticket.  The red card in the back pocket will be the movie gift card (I haven't bought those yet).  The Riley image is Riley Eating Popcorn which I thought was perfect for these movie tickets!

This card will be entered into the Riley challenge at:

The challenge is to create a pocket on your card.

Play along!  It's a fun challenge to do.

Oldie but Goodie

My oldie but goodie card today goes along very well with my 12 Days of Gift Giving post.  I made a card using the chef carrying a bottle of wine.  The image is called Chef Pierre--Wine.  You could include this with the gift I created!

Oldie but Goodie

For my Oldie but Goodie today at Bugaboo, I used an image called AKV Pirate--Parrot.  I paired this image up with Papertrey DP and nestabilities oval dies.

Bugaboo New Release

What a cute Christmas release Jodie (at Bugaboo) has for us today.  I'm trying to get ready EARLY for Christmas, so I made a tag--we always need lots of these!  I used a Papertrey loopy die on this.

This tag will be entered into a challenge at:

The challenge is T is for Tag.

New Bugaboo Challenge

Have you checked out Bugaboo's challenge blog today?  There is a new challenge--Things with Tails.  It's an easy one to do, with all the critters that Jodie has created for Bugaboo.  I used an image called Sock Monkey School 4.

Riley Challenge

Back today with another Riley Challenge.  On the challenge blog, we were asked to Fall into Fall:  Use Fall Colors.  I created a card using green, yellow, and orange--the colors of all those gorgeous leaves of Fall--using the Farmer Riley and Sophie image.  I made a "Z" fold card, colored it with copics, added some ribbon and Papertrey DP.  I think I'll use this as a thank you card for the Thanksgiving dinner we have been invited to.  Love these Riley challenges!

This card will be entered into the Riley challenge--Fall into Fall:  Use Fall Colors.

Oldie but Goodie

My oldie but goodie card today (for Bugaboo) shows my love for school-related cards!  As a retired teacher, I just seem to gravitate toward them.  I used a Bugaboo image called Ava School Sign It, which I paired up with my number DP.

Critter Sketch Challenge

The Critter Sketch Challenge is honoring veterans--and featuring a digital stamp company.

Boy, are their images cute!  After looking at their images, I decided to honor those nurses who serve or have served by making a "get well" card.  (For me this was fortunate, as I always need these get well cards!)  I used Papertrey cardstock and designer papers, a papertrey die cut star, some twine, and my copics.  The sentiment was also from the Saturated Canary.  Be sure to check them out, as you will LOVE their images.  Also go to our challenge blog so that you can check out the cardsd/projects from the rest of the deign team.  I'm sure you will love them!  Play along with us:)

We also have another sponsor this month--A Creative Need.

I used one of their images called Snowglobe with Snowman to create this adorable Christmas tag.  I can never have enough of these! 

Bugaboo SSS Challenge

It's time for a great Stella Says Sketch Challenge at Bugaboo.  Check it out on the challenge blog; it's a great sketch to use.  I used an image called Make It Snappy--Thanks a Bunch.  These Make It Snappy images make cardmaking such a snap!!!!! (I bet that's why Jodie give them that name).

Bugaboo Challenge

The challenge at Bugaboo today is Anything Goes!  Be sure to go to the challenge blog and see what the rest of the design team has created.  I used an image called Beautiful Blocks--Thoughts and Prayers and used an olive green and purple color scheme.  I LOVE thee colors together!  The cardstocks and designer papers are from Papertrey.

You can't win if you don't play along:)

Friday Freebie

Great new freebie from Jodie at Bugaboo today.  Since my husband and granddaughter are skiiers, I love these skiing images.  I made a "Z" fold card which I haven't done in a long time!  Be sure to check out what everyone else has done.

Oldie but Goodie Day

Doesn't it seem that these weeks pass by quickly?  It seems that it is always time for Oldie but Goodie Days at Bugaboo--but that's okay because I love them!  Today I used an image called Pig--Super Pig, and it's a very versatile image to use.  I paired it up with two different types of DP, a star, some googlie eyes, and a SU sentiment.

This card will be entered into a challenge at:
