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

Pammie's Inky Pinkies challenges 2043: Anything Goes

The house that stamps built: Anything goes

Simple & sweet

Hi Everyone,

I hope you are all safe and healthy.

I made a simple and sweet card for any occasion using the Bugaboo photo inspiration @ Bugaboo Challenge Blog. I used the Bugaboo Dollar flower bug, and coloured it with
Copics and Tria markers.  I stamped the butterfly in the left corner from an old clear stamp set.  The paper is from "Colored Pencil" by Recollections from Michaels.

I would also like to submit this to:
Stamping Sensations Say It with Flowers challenge
Moving along with the times challenge #118 - flowers
Love to Craft challenge - Anything goes

Bugaboo Be Naughty

Hi everyone, 

Another bugaboo image and another great sketch challenge to play in.  I had started coloring this image a few weeks ago with no plan in mind, but I knew I would use it soon. This sketch challenge just seemed to work perfectly. I am going to join a few other challenges since their are lots of us making Christmas cards right now.

Relax and enjoy

Hi everyone,

When I saw this freebie a few weeks ago from Bugaboo stamps, I just had to play with it. It will make a great retirement, birthday, or Father's day card. I am sure I will be using this image again, and again. I used the sketch challenge again this week, but I did want to keep it simple as it will be for a guy.  I colored the image with copics and other alcohol markers. The "enjoy" is from Jillibean soup. Thanks for stopping for by.

Catch the bug sketch challenge #716

My very first 2019 Christmas card

Hi everyone,

While I was working on the Sketch challenge for Catch the bug, I thought I would work on my first Christmas card of the year. This reindeer looks alot like me when thinking about Christmas gifts. Thanks for stopping by.

Happy Halloween 2019

Hello everyone,

I think this is the first Halloween card that I have ever made, but I couldn't resist this Bugaboo image. I saw the "Catch the bug" sketch challenge #715, and wanted to participate. I like the sketch challenge because that's sometimes the hardest part for me to figure out. I also like that it is a simple sketch, and what a great way to use my DCWV rock star paper! I wish you all a happy Halloween.

Grand Niece

Hi everyone,

I wanted to share this card I made to welcome our Grand Niece.  I used a Bugaboo Digi stamp and followed their sketch challenge here http://catchthebugblog.blogspot.com/2019/06/stella-says-sketch-challenge-711.html. I coloured the image with alcohol markers, and punched the heart border with a Martha Stewart punch.  I think this image is so cute, and I have more cards with this cute elephant in the works.  Thanks for stopping by.

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!

Fisherman birthday

Hi Everyone,

So again, it's been awhile since my last post, but not for lack of creating.  I have been working on diaper cake orders.  I haven't made one in a very long time, and just received 5 orders.
Anyways, this card is for a very special young man who loves to go fishing with his Grandpa.  I purchased this image from Bugaboo stamps, and it is just perfect.  I coloured it with mostly Copics, but I have Tria markers in the mix.  I also coloured around the edge of the die cut to give it a bit of a frame.  The sketch is also from the Bugaboo challenge #410.  I am also joining the following challenges:

My time to craft:  Summertime
Die Cuttin Divas:  Birthday # 272
SweetStamps:  Anything goes

Thanks for stopping by!
