Bugaboo chocolate fantasy

 

Hello friends, 

How is everyone these days?  I hope you are well and healthy. I have to admit, I haven't been as creative the last little while as work as been very busy, so today is a mental health day for me. I got to enjoy that chocolate fantasy this morning when no alarm was going off. This image is another from Bugaboo digital stamps. I just love her images. I was disappointed when I found out the new printer I bought is not designed for cardstock, so I had some struggles until I figured it out. I am so glad it worked because I don't know what I would do without my bugaboo images. This image came at the perfect time for my co-worker's birthday, as she is as big a chocolate fan as I am. It is so perfect for her. I also used the bugaboo sketch challenge #817. 

I would also like to add this to the following challenges:

Simon Says Wednesday challenge: Anything Goes

Aud Sentiments challenge: Anything Goes + sentiment

Colour Crazy Craft challenge: Anything Goes

A bear birthday

Hello all,

I hope everyone is staying safe and healthy.
I have another post today for the Bugaboo Catch the Bug Challenge - Bear with Me. Who doesn't need a cute birthday bear greeting?  I coloured the image using a combination of Copics and Tria markers. I like doing the fine details with the old style Tria markers because they have a fine point. I had the ribbon in my scraps, and the paper is from DCWV.
I am also submitting this card into the following challenges:
Allsorts Challenge blog #580 - I spy something with a "B". (bear, balloon, box)
Dream Valley Challenges - All occasions
Mojo Monday - sketch 541.
I wish everyone a good day.  Thanks for stopping by.

Jungle Friends

Hello all, 

I hope everyone is safe and healthy.  It feels like we are living in a strange jungle ourselves. I am very grateful for our low numbers in BC, and to all those who help with the fight to keep those numbers low. 

This stamp set has been sitting in a drawer for some time, and I just had to use it again.  I think it's so sweet. It is from Autumn Leaves. I used mostly Copics to colour the images. I got a large ink dribble on the tree, so I used the bird to hide it, but it works with the design from the Bugaboo Sketch challenge # 811.

I also used the colour challenge from Bugaboo June challenge.  I would also like to submit this card into the following challenges:

The Crafter's Cafe Challenge blog #246 - Anything Goes

Colour Crazy Craft Challenge blog week 26 -Anything Goes

Crafty Sentiments design challenge blog - Anything Goes

Creative Fingers Challenge blog #189 - Anything Goes

I hope everyone has a great weekend, and keep crafting!

Owl birthday

Hi everyone,

How time flies by, again. It seems like I never post Christmas cards because I am always so busy during that time of year, so I have skipped that again and moved onto new birthday cards.  I turned to my favorite Catch the bug challenge blog "Stella says sketch challenge #805" to use a sketch that would work for the owl. When I looked at my last post, I realized that I used some of the same papers. They are great colors, and although they are suppose to be a Christmas paper, I find it works for much more than Christmas. The owl is a die set from a card making magazine that I got. The embossing folder is from Lifestyle crafts, and I believe the branch is from Sizzix. It comes with cherry blossoms, but I haven't ever used the flowers.

I'm back

Hi everyone,

I have been away from the blog, but not away from card making and crafting in general.  I have continued to work on lots of things, but I got frustrated with my computer and therefore stopped posting.
I was excited to see this challenge from Bugaboo because I had a little boys birthday coming up and he loves dinosaurs.  I have to say I don't think I have any dinosaur stamps, so I was super relieved to see I had a Bugaboo image that is just perfect, and then a perfect sketch challenge to make it all work. http://catchthebugblog.blogspot.com/2019/02/stella-says-sketch-challenge-704.html
The paper is from DCWV.
I hope he likes it.  Thanks for stopping by!
