Special Challenge

Today some of the Bugaboo DT members are participating in a special challenge for Operation Write Home.  Be sure to check out their blog for details. Here's my card:

Bugaboo New Release

What a cute line of images Jodie (from Bugaboo) is releasing today!  These sign its can be used for any occasion, just by adding an appropriate sentiment.  For my card, I used Papertrey cardstock, DP from one of Taylored Expressions monthly kits which I paper pierced inside the sign it, yellow star paper, a Papertrey star die cut with a little bling inside, and colored my image with copics.  The sentiment is from Papertrey Ink.

This card will be entered into a challenge at:

The challenge is Variegated Colors.

Special Challenge

Today some of the Bugaboo DT members are participating in a challenge by Creative Card Crew where we were to create a humorous card/project.  I used the image called Make It Snappy--Hey There.  Love the way the sentiment says "Hay There!"

Special Challenge

Today some of the Bugaboo DT members are playing along in a challenge with The Squirrel and the Fox--and the challenge is Autumn!  I used an image called AKV Fall Leaves.  I used a Martha Stewart punch for the leaves.

New Bugaboo Challenge

Bugaboo's challenge for today is to use hearts, pearls, and lace--perfect for this Little Princess card!  I created an easel card with shimmery designer paper, added hearts , pearls, a tiera, and lace--and the sentiment (from SU) adorable--and she is!  The image is Little Princess 1.

Oldie but Goodie

We know lots of golfers--and I love using this Bugaboo Nuts About Sports--Golf image.  If you paper piece the peanut shell and run it through the Cuttlebug dot embossing folder, it looks just like a peanut shell!  The sentiment is from AMuse.

Tutorial

Today I am the lucky Bugaboo DT member who gets to share a tutorial with you.  I pondered on this--and finally came up with a tea package that I saw on Papertrey Ink.  Here are the directions:

TEA BAG HOLDER

Cardstock

Designer Paper

Nestabilities Dies

Ribbon

Score-Pal

Bugaboo Image

Decorative Punch

Cut a piece of cardstock 5" by 11".  Score it (on the 5" side"  at 3 1/2" and 3 3/4".  Turn it around and score the other end at 3 1/2" and 3 3/4". Fold the left side in on the scores, as well as the right side in on the scores.  On the right hand back of the cardstock, decorate with cardstock, designer papers, and image.  Wrap ribbon from the left hand inside to the right hand edge and around to the back.  Glue down.  Decorate the inside middle and right hand section with designer paper and a large nestabilities die cut in half.  Glue these down with the top left open to insert a teabag.  Use a smaller nestabilities die to cut an opening so that the image shows through.  Decorate the front. 

And here is the finished product!

This is great to use as a get well card!

Critter Sketch Challenge

Today's challenge at the Critter Sketch Challenge is a sketch challenge--and it was a great one to use!  Be sure to head over there and check it out.  I used a new stamp and die set of mine from Papertrey Ink.  What a great masculine card this makes!  The sentiment says "Love is the key that opens the heart".  I may save this for an anniversary card for my hubby!

Special Challenge

Today some of the Bugaboo DT team are playing along in a challenge with Stamptacular in which you are to create a card with a charm on it.  I used the image called Scarlette Party along with a drink charm.  The papers are from SU.

New Bugaboo Challenge

Bugaboo's challenge today is a sketch challenge.  Go to the challenge blog and read all about it!  I used the image called Valentine Baskets--Kitty, and since my last kitty as a sweet little Siamese, I colored this one to look like a Siamese.  Even though this is technically a valentine image, it could certainly be used for a birthday card!

Oldie but Goodie

For my Bugaboo oldie but goodie card today, I made a get well card.  It seems that I never have one of these cards when I need it!  I used an image called Sassy Gal Nurse 2.  The sentiment and tab are both from Papertrey Ink.

I'll be prepared now the next time I need a get well card!

Anything But a Card

I'm the chosen Bugaboo DT member who gets to create "Anything But a Card"--and I chose to create a calendar/reminder book.  These are wonderful to use for birthday/anniversary reminders, but I use mine as a blog post reminder.  It keeps me "on my toes" with my Bugaboo posts!  The images I used are from the Margaret--Calendar line, and the one I created the link for is January. I have just shown you the first page, but there (of course) is a page for each month with a corresponding Margaret image.  This book makes a lovely gift for someone along with a pack of birthday cards!

Stella Sketch Sunday

Bugaboo  has a new sketch for you to try today!  Check it out on the challenge blog.  I used the image called Bugaboo Brats Sports--Cheerleader Girl.  Since we are University of Kentucky fans in this house, I had to use Blue and White!

New Bugaboo Challenge

Bugaboo's challenge for you today is a photo inspiration.  Head over to the challenge blog and check it out.  I was inspired by the rose, and chose the image Skelekinz Boys--For You.  (I think I use this Bugaboo image more than any other!)  With assorted Valentine papers, it certainly makes a great Valentine card!

Oldie but Goodie

I love to make cards for Valentine's Day--probably because there is very little else that I have to do for this holiday!  For this card I used an image called Sock Monkey Love--Sit on Heart.  I love these colors!

Special Bugaboo Challenge

Today some of the DT members at Bugaboo are playing along in a challenge with Crafting for All Seasons.  The challenge is Love is in the Air.  I used one of my favorite images called Skelekinz Boy--For You. I've never colored his hair blond before, but it looks pretty cute with this paper!

New Bugaboo Challenge

Bugaboo's challenge for today is Anything Goes!  How easy is that.  Go to the challenge blog and see what the DT has created--and check out the details and prizes.  For my card, I used an image called Mildred Exercise--Box of Chocolates--and you know, I've wondered about this myself!  Love the sentiment.

Critter Sketch Challenge

The Critter Challenge Blog has a new challenge for you today.  If you head over to the blog, you will see a beautiful volcanic image (from http://design-seeds.com/index.php/home/entry/more-volcanic-hues).  I was inspired by those beautiful colors!  I used a Bugaboo merged image (BBBrat bow sitter and presents).  The sentiment is from Papertrey.

Play along with us!

Friday Freebie

Since my husband and I have raised a granddaughter, I'm always looking for those teenage girl stamps--and finally Jodie (at Bugaboo) has created one!  Hopefully there will be a teenage boy also:)  Of course I had to color the hair red--and this girl has attitude (as all redheads do!)

Be check to check out what the rest of the DT has created--and the rest of this release.  It should be great.

Oldie but Goodie

I love Oldie But Goodie Day at Bugaboo.  I always find an image that I had forgotten about!  Today I used an image called JJ Tequila and Shoes--Birthday.  Head over the the Bugaboo site; I'm sure you'll find some images you love also!

Special Challenge

For the entire month of February, By the Cute and Girly challenge is being sponsored by Bugaboo.  If you wish to play along, please create a card/project with the theme Love is in the Air!  For my card, I used one of Jodie's newer images called Heart Mouse.  It sure makes a cute Valentine!

Why don't you play along?
