New Release

I love this new Bugaboo release!  I've made a couple of baby cards lately, and am glad to have a new image to add to my assortment.  I think this baby cow is oh so cute!  I thought the "oh baby" sentiment was just perfect!

Riley Challenge Card

The Riley challenge this week is to create a Riley/Sophie On Vacation card.  You can check it out on their blog.  I chose for Riley to go to the Big Apple--New York City because I love this Riley image.  I used Papertrey cardstocks, an apple cuttlebug folder, a Martha Stewart punch, twine, and my copics.  I also added a little bling.  These are always fun challenges, plus I so enjoy using my Riley stamps!

Oldie but Goodie

Again it's Oldie but Goodie Day at Bugaboo.  Boy--it seems that Thursday come around quickly!  I used a sketch from MFT, designer papers from a DCWV Mat Stack, a Martha Stewart punch, a SU punch, and an AMuse sentiment.  The Bugaboo image is AKV Snowman Ski which I colored with copics.

Anything but a Card

For Bugaboo, I'm the DT member who gets to create a project for you today--anything but a card.  I decided to do a little photo book for you.  The instructions are included in the Stampin' Up resources.  I used the Bugaboo image called Princess Charlie (very appropriate since my husband has always called Liz the little princess).

Here it is opened up, with pictures of my husband and I along with our little princess!)


Critter Sketch Challenge

Critter Sketch Challenge has a sketch challenge for you today.  Check it out at our blog.  I used everything Papertrey when I created my card.  I love the sentiment "wild thing" that goes along with the set.  It can be used for many occasions!

Riley Challenge (2nd post for today--move down for Bugaboo!)

I created a card for the current Riley challenge.  Check it out on the Riley challenge blog.  You are to create a Christmas in July project.  I used a stamp called Gingerbread Riley and Sophie, Papertrey cardstocks, a SU mini oval punch, and a gingerbread punch.  I added a Riley sentiment and a little bling.  Easy--fun card!

Christmas in July Challenge

And the week continues!  There will be challenges ALL WEEK LONG!  Today's challenge is to create a Christmas card using a non-Christmas image.  I used an image called OZ Dorothy, and of course I computer-generated a sentiment saying "There's No Place Like Home For The Holidays!"  With a little bit of lace, a button and some twine, this makes a pretty cute little Christmas card!

This card will be entered into a challenge at:
The challenge is Christmas in July--no Christmas image.
